Erica: And don't forget to vote for bonuses in the previous stratum: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/8203088/

There are ties, you can break them! (Break them in my favor! :) )

Walker: "Or mine! I haven't caught a break for a bit, not counting the previous stratum strategy I used of just GET ME OUTTA HERE! Hehe!"

Interesting board for a game but you must explain some items like the heart door or the black pit and most importantly, what the heck is that swirly area, a gateway into space and if you fall in you imedately die of oxygen deprivation?

Ah sorry they were explained in the rough draft when I uploaded that. I seem to have neglected to explain here.

The heart door is the entrance to the Hall of Innocence, which can only be entered by one who possesses the pure heart of a child.

The black pit is the abyss, you need wings to get over it.

Swirly area, is the Endless Hall, it's.... evil.

The Endless Hall is evil? You mentioned it was merely malevolent. I hope Erica doesn't need to venture that way.... let's send Brian in that way! <_< :P

Ok, in other information, the symmetry for the board is excellent but I don't understand how a pathway can be evil. In other information, there is a blue roadway on the far right, is that related to the "galaxy pathway"?

The other passageways are a snow-covered passageway (the blue; the ice turned out fairly poorly, unfortunately); a mystical gate (the red crystals in the lower left), a rusted door (lower right), and then up stairs (lowest right) and down stairs (lowest left).

The theme is supposed to be that of an occult temple, and nonsense geography is one way of demonstrating it, I think. Hence up stairs and down stairs that lead to the same place, an abyss, a snow-covered passageway indoors, and, yes, the Spirals in the Endless Hallway of Doom.

As for why the pathway is evil.... well, stay tuned for the story and perhaps we'll find out. Or we may not. Depends on where the players decide to go. :)
