I have been playing Avadon for several weeks now and am enjoying its complexity and challenges. But I have met a challenge I can't get past: I'm trying to find Nathalie in Zhossa's tower. So far I have:
1) gone up and down stairs until it told me I was retracing my steps
2) went upstairs to the hall with circles, went outside, Sevilin hears a scream from the NW
3) go NW on the outside of the tower, path blocked, go NW inside tower, door's locked, nothing on the wall that I can find for secret passages, runes don't seem to do anything, etc., etc.
I have searched the forums and found threads and FAQs stating a passage will open up, my next move should be obvious, I should go in circles. None of this is working for me. Could someone please tell me explicitly what I need to do? Thanks!
Edited: never mind, I wasn't thinking broadly enough.
