We’re fine with matching that, 5 coins for Cyfoeth to pass.

House Cyfoeth isn't particularly intent on passing for this round.

Can we possibly up the offer for House Lethe to pass to 8 coins?

We accept on one condition: that House Lethe agrees to help us gain signing rights for the next card in this storyline.

Reasoning: same studded pattern as the door on the story card.

To be fair it's early on in this wiki dive so we should have time to recover.

This is weird and wonderful. I feel like we were probably going into the maze regardless of what we chose last time, though. You don't create a gimmick like this then make it skippable (unless Aye would have been a different maze altogether, or something?)

I think it's door number 6 too. "Sane Minds look for consistency." The only thing different about the door on the right is the symbol. Shape, studs, stud position, etc. I think I wouldn't read too much into anything else for the sake of this puzzle.

Seems like there were probably three cards that were in the maze no matter what, and then three that depend on the AYE/NAY choice.

But yeah we were coming in regardless.

I in no way regret House Cyfoeth's vote in this matter, although I gotta hand it to House Lethe holding the moderator token when we went into this mindmaze means they get to sign whatever we get coming out the backside.

Current:


I think the symbol on the door might indicate the item in the next room. Door 6 symbol might match the two rocks on a table.

As for the next door, uhhh.

Skull door (#4) has somewhat matching hinges with door #6 and #start, and the same handle. Maybe try that one?
E: also we know where a brazier is and it's in room #1, probably not #8.

Double posting for SCIENCE.

In retrospect we started with a door with a brazier symbol and the first room had a brazier; if I were to describe the symbol on door #6 it'd be "shield" more than two rocks. The special card mentions "weird objects" and "perplexing symbols".

If the other features of the door are NOT white noise, door #4 is the one matching the most the previous ones. We might still be on the sane path, perspective yet unclear.

If the other features ARE white noise, then only the symbols matter and room #4 should have a skull in it, because we've seen a brazier in room #1. Corollary: if this hypothesis is correct we're currently on the madness path right now because door #6 was the wrong one.

The book said that consistency was the key. I think if we were to go the same direction again, we might find a clue about what the pattern is. Chances are, even if we're not going the right way, we should be able to get back on the correct path again.

That's why, for the sake of experimentation, I'd like to go with Door #8.

Do we believe the doors will loop around at any point, and take us back to previously entered rooms? It seems more likely than not, if there are so many cards and so few true exits.
Perhaps we should be drawing a map.

Definitely a tough one, if we want to test symbols va the previous room then I'd agree with 8. 4 has more similarities in the nature of the door itself but we're going to have to pick eventually what we think the similarities criteria are, now's as good a time as any.

That is super useful for similarities and differences, but will become challenging should navigation about the labyrinth become necessary. Here, I scrawled this in eyeliner on my cloak:

The info cards have revealed that we'll be able to see an exit, hesitate, and 'go back' to choose another exit. Having known routes will let us do things like "oh, this isn't the door we want; go 2, 11, 13, then open door 5" or what have you.

E: TIG, when we opened envelope 21, it contained the standard four cards, hey? My 'deck' image presumes so, meaning there are are [(3+4)*2] 14 rooms in this labyrinth.
