IIRC one of the stairwells on the castle grounds leads to level 3, but anyway you can always add an entrance.....

There was supposed to be one in the church cemetary, one in the Inn, one on a nearby hill, etc.

Because I'm having technical problems getting Tavis' GIMP maps where he aligns the stairwells on levels 1 through 6, I started some homework on aligning them myself. It appears that Levels 2 and 3 are correctly mapped and labeled, which helps, but there's still the problem of most rooms in the Dungeons of C BM book not actually telling you where stairs lead, just that they have stairs leading up or down (and plenty of stairwells aren't in designated locations, so there's no indication where they lead).

Anyway, the blog has a lot more story stuff as well as some of my current solutions, but once I make more headway with correcting maps and aligning stairs, I'll post them here.

Also, does anyone know if Zeitgeist or anyone else would be mad if I posted versions of the Dungeons of Castle Blackmoor maps that I've altered, such as showing where stairs lead or whatever?

I'd send you the files but its 30,000 kb. Contact Tavis directly for help if you need to.

Anywho I see two stairwells that get what you want.

The first, on the DoCBM map is just marked "down" and is in the se part of the main basement room, just past the rubble filled corridor.

the second goes all the way to the surface and is in that small well like room next to room 6. It is marked "up"

both of these stairs exit on levels 1,2,3 and 4.

:)

Posting this here, rather than in a new thread - do we actually, canonically, know who Lord and Lady Alfred are?

Because the info I found on them is fairly minimal, and, even if I *reimagine* them in Firewater, I'd like to play with as many details as possible.
