I had dismissed The Fool’s Errand as an early April Fool until coming across an ‘impossible’ room in Red Hawk’s Deep Hold (Level 21: 2S, 1E). Knowing his penchant for adopting all the best ideas in DROD (he always gives due credit) I thought that he might have used the famed ‘trick’ here. As it happens he didn’t but a review of the hold resulted in my discovery of the trick. I have to say that the moment I saw the effects of applying this device was almost heart-stopping – my most memorable DROD experience to date.
Apart from the conspiracy all that has been said above is quite true except that some of the posts more than others are intended to deceive. Yes, even nudging the wraithwings – I couldn’t believe it. It should be added that all these effects can be simulated in an ordinary hold but it leaves you wondering just what else remains to be discovered in DROD.
Well The Fool’s Errand has been downloaded 77 times as I write so I would like to offer a further hint to help anyone who is still in the dark. Once you know what to do it is difficult to judge just how much you are giving away so if anyone thinks that the following is too explicit then I will edit it out, I don’t want to spoil things:

×I think, at least initially, that the hold should be subtitled: how about: The Fool’s Errand – The Incompetent Exterminator?
I would very much like to see this hold extended (including DiMono’s idea?) for these really are the most ingenious of rooms. Many thanks bibelot and very well done – this has got to be the hold of holds.
One minor negative note: I was more than a bit disappointed when the exit stairs took me back to the beginning again.
,and thats the only room I have left...
