conversations.value: Tanaric: The air surrounding you fairly hums with the residue of magic, an aftereffect of the spell that brought you to this place. A quick glance reveals that you are in a small room, devoid of any life save for yourself. The sound of dripping water can be heard faintly, and the stone walls are slick with moisture. In complete defiance of logic, a torch is already lit, resting in a sconce near the room's single door.

conversations.value: Olo Demonsbane: Karl taps the areas around him with his ten-foot pole.
  
  If there is no reaction, he proceeds to the door and draws his guisarme.
  
  EDIT: How often do you expect to be posting?  Daily, Twice daily, More?  It helps let me know how often I need to refresh.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Tanaric: Unlike some people, I don't believe in death traps on the first door. 😛
  
  Opening the door reveals an unlit hallway running to the south and east. Without a light source, it's impossible to determine more.
  
  Edit: On average, thrice a day. Right now, about every five minutes if you're able.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Olo Demonsbane: Cool...I can post rather often during most evenings, but rarely during weekdays.
  
  Karl cracks a sunrod and walks forward.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Tanaric: To the south, the hall runs for thirty feet before teeing to the east and west. After twenty feet, it splits east.
  
  To the east, it runs beyond the range of your sunrod's light. After ten feet, it splits to the north and south. After thirty feet, there is a door on the north side of the hall. After sixty feet, it splits to the north and south.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Olo Demonsbane: Karl will begin going south, stopping at the first split.
conversations.from: human
conversations.value: Tanaric: The hall goes east for ten feet before turning north. Five feet north of the bend, there is a door on the east side of the hall.

conversations.value: Olo Demonsbane: Karl walks over and opens the door.

  There is a door at A-2, which you are just outside of another at E-4, south side, and another at E-3. There is a human in a chain shirt, holding a longsword, standing behind a beast with patchy dark fur that covers its unhealthy shrunken black skin in some places. Open sores dot its hide and a feral, catlike head glances with it's blank eyes at the wall in front of it.

  I only have 3 maneuvers prepped...and I have extra maneuver.  Effectively, I refresh my maneuvers every round.

conversations.value: Tanaric: I believe the official ToB FAQ clarifies that crusaders must ready all five manuevers.
  
  In fact, I'm certain of it. I can dig up a link if you'd like.

  ...Damn.  Can we retcon it in, starting now?  I have been such an incompetent, it doesn't really make a difference...
