In-Dungeon Travel Options

[Elrond]

Just doing Tarn and having run back and forth to the Hallow, I wondered what if the GM added the following travel options to Tarn:

- Travel to the Spider Cave
- Travel to Stone Wheel
- Travel to Urktuln's, the Stone Troll, Lair
- Travel to NE Corner
- Travel to NW Corner
- Travel to SE Corner
- Travel to SW Corner
- Travel to Fountain

Personally, I don't feel like that's necesarry. You have only two random enemies in Tarn, and you can flee from them without loss, so... Not to mention the checks that would be required:
- is Urktuln's place available yet?
- have you killed the Staggering/Glowing Halgirom so that you can GET to SW corner?
- do you even KNOW where the fountain is (it's possible to complete Tarn without EVER finding the fountain)

Too complicated for too little gain (it'll speed things up a little bit, nothing more).

Just a note: There's no Spider Cave (or any other cave, for that matter), though I understand what you mean.

If you're wanting to retreat and rest, just "quickly retreat" to the door.

Taking into consideration Shadowblacks excellent comments, we still have the following options to speed up re-entry to Tarn after going out and resting:

- Travel to the Spider Cave (or whatever name is for the place where you get the gear piece)
- Travel to Stone Wheel
- Travel to NE Corner
- Travel to NW Corner
- Travel to SE Corner

I'll take those travel options if possible.

Stone Wheel and NE and NW are the only ones I would like to have. Because you have to get past the statue to get past the statue to get to the SE corner.

- Travel to the Spider Cave (or whatever name is for the place where you get the gear piece)

I can't remember what it's called either, but I think of that as the location of a chest--since you need those 3 keys to open it. (Though Spider Chest sounds silly for a name.)

It's a ruined library.

Heh, "spider chest" sounds like a nasty medical condition... :cool:

[Taleria]

I'd like the fountain, the wheel, the library, and the stone arch. I think getting everywhere else is simple enough from those locations. I hate leaving Tarn if I'm clearing out the southeast region, because I have to trek all the way back there when re-entering the city.
