×Perhaps the ending of the story could be moreso implemented in the actual hold. Even better, have the last level contain conquered, story lined-based walkthroughs of the first level rooms. These would be secret rooms, of course. If this were the case, the hold would have to be masters edit. The story line stems from an interesting concept; if you could expand upon it, it would be even more memorable than it is.

In the "expert" room, perhaps Beethro could mumble to himself about killing a wraithwing so that the other one would be more managable. You can lie to players through Beethro! This happens in the Final Confrontation, Return, 1 East. But don't tell anyone!

By the way, 1S1E is possible (I've completed the room) but a little too technical to be a "room". Maybe you should make it into a secret room and locate the expert room elsewhere. (Maybe flip the expert and put it at 3W.) I mean, I was stuck on the roach queen part for some time until I realized that tunnel aren't one way.

2N3W is interesting. I was thinking of several variations of it, but then decided that it is fine as it is. I'm not sure that 3N2W is solvable. In the NorthSouthNorthSouth (etc) line of arrows, there is one too many South arrows. Just delete the south arrow at the right end of the long line of arrows and replace the trapdoor with a wall. Then the room is perrrrrrfect!

By the way, I have some sort of suggestion for 2N. I'll PM it to you.

Also, Dali is clearly not refering to seeing a spider, but to "sawing" it (ie, with a chainsaw).

×Here what's I think in an unwarranted way:
1. The stairs at the end of the main level end the hold. I'm positive that this isn't intended. By now you've probably worked all of the kinks out, but this is just to tell you. The Main Entrance is still Entrance 1. A description is needed! Naming an entrance shows signs of commitment, care, respect, love, peace, etc.
2. In 2N1E, the exit room, perhaps Beethro should say something if a monster goes into the trapped zone, like "The queen hath escap'd!" or something along those lines.
3. Your hold is perfect, otherwise. If you can solve the rooms mentioned in the above post, then either please tell me how or release it in faith that there are no alternate solutions. I have no problemo with either of these things. So I'll PM you. About something.
4. I didn't realize that you were planning a sequel! Apologies.
