Story Post: Turn 1 - Tentative Exploration

The Explorers looked around in confusion and fear, wondering what to do next.

Bucky, sensing an opportunity, grabbed the Lit Flashlight on the floor while he had the chance and walked North to the Sitting Room.

Josh and Raven1207 walked with Bucky to the Sitting Room to see what the fuss was about, while Darknight, misty, and Snisbo, too afraid of what might be waiting for them, peeked North while remaining in the Foyer, but couldn’t see anything because it was Dark at the time. Once Bucky arrived, his flashlight lit up the Sitting Room, which turned out to be a drab, dusty room with a few moldy chairs and a boarded-up window.

Benbot panicked and fled North, clearly worried about some sort of danger. He banged into the North wall of the Sitting Room and stood stunned for a few seconds, dust from the wall raining off of him.

Habanero and Trapdoorspyder walked East to the Tea Room. Brendan fled in the same direction, perhaps hoping to run past them, but only succeeding in slamming himself into the East wall in the Tea Room. It was too Dark to see any of the interior of the room, but they didn’t find any other way out except back the way that they came.

Kevan fled South into the Hallway and banged his shoulder into the southern wall there, unable to go further. SingularByte walked South to follow him. Their steps were muffled some sort of squishy flooring, but it was too Dark to see what it was. Curiously, even though Kevan had just been blocked by a wall to the South, there was now an opening there, as well as many other options where to go next. They found openings leading East, West, and South, and stairs going Up and going Down.

quirck attempted to walk West but managed to simply push against the West wall of the Foyer to no effect.

The Black Cat mewed softly before padding out of the Foyer and into the darkness.

This is confirmation that the west wall of the Foyer has no Secret Passages.

Secret Passages did not exist in the ruleset at the time of Mansion Phase 1, so in that sense, you are correct.
