Ooh, it's a riddle! "When is an error not an error?" Gonna go with "when it's ajar".

Seriously, though, I quite liked 2S, and I might even continue looking at the hold once checkpoints are added.

I think he meant: The first error has been corrected. The second error has been corrected." Basically, he fixed the problems and said he fixed the problems, but in English, what he said sounds like something entirely different.

I'll look into this hold pretty soon. It looks interesting.

Yes, that was the joke.

2 errors in 5 rooms means you haven't tested the hold yourself.

Please play your hold before posting.

(The current version is still not possible to complete. That is unique for a 5 rooms hold. It's also not a very good hold.)

I've played some of this hold.

I agree with Dischorran: you need to add CHECKPOINTS.
I agree with Tim: you should PLAY YOUR HOLD before posting.

2S - This could be an interesting race. Your timer is broken. If I enter the room, exit north, then re-enter, the guard and Halph characters do not reappear. I can take as long as I want to solve the room.

2S1W - Not very interesting, but okay. The player can kill the slayer in this room. Hope that's intended.

1S1E - I'm having trouble with this one. I think you want me to kill waterskippers such that the stalwart will step on all four plates. This is a very interesting idea for a puzzle. I need help with the correct arrangement for the second plate, please. I figured out the others myself.

Why is there a slayer in this room?

The hold is anyone edit. It's easier to make a copy of the room, remove the slayer and try that instead. One skipper for each plate is enough.

Can't find my way through 1S. The slayer is preventing my exit.

Thanks Zorglub, that did the trick. And yes, Tim, it worked out the way you described, although there are also other arrangements that work.

There's no need for the player to edit the slayer out of 1S1W, as we can simply use the pressure plate to lock him out of the puzzle area. I simply wondered why he was there at all?

I agree there's a problem in 1S. This room would be solvable in the intended way if the movement order of the two golems were reversed. Then the player could pass the golems while being chased by the slayer.

Just for your information, the room after the golems is also impossible. (How and why is left as an exercise for the reader.)
