"Remember, I grew up around architects and labyrinths, after all you need to know the place you're guarding. With that insight and a complete set of city utlities plans, plus some long range photos, and the offical planning departmen bluprint for the building, it was not hard to figure out the layout they were hiding. I can't guarantee it 100%, or tell you what these rooms are used for.<br/><br/>"If I dared risk some divination, I could, but if he has a half way competent mage on his staff, there'll be detection wards that'll go off like three week old soft cheese in a broken fridge! I certainly have them. I can solve them, and develop counters, remember my speciality, but I need to get my Eye on them at close range first. Of course if I can solve his ward scheme, we can spy on the head bozo to our hearts content, and know what he's doing before he does."<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div>He sat down next to the model of the building and scrutinized it thoroughly, peering at the maps on the walls afterwards.

We'll need disguises anyway, and a simple illusion isn't going to cut it. Any sane labyrinth keeper puts in anti-magic zones. My own body can resist it to an extent, or I'd have dropped dead the first time I entered one, but it's kind of like holding your breath when you're under water. The pressure to leach out your body magic grows, the longer you're in one, and it's worse if I'm in full sphinx form, which I may need to be if we do have a barney. Maybe Reizu can suggest something. He's the ninja, after all, and they use chi, and are masters of disguise and deception."<br/><br/>"I guess you also need to decide our objectives. Getting his ward scheme is one, butwhat else do you want to do in there, and what's most important?"
