You grope your way out into the hall, and immediately repeat the process in the room on the other side of the door, crab-creeping your way along the other shared wall. The only difference is that this room appears to be empty - or at the very least, it doesn't have anything along the wall as the previous one did. You retreat once more into the hallway, feeling on the whole rather defeated, even though you knew going into this that it was a bet not particularly likely to pay out. There is, of course, one more shared wall ... the one on the far side of the room, the one that the fireplace abuts. Of course, reaching it is going to be a lot more involved - assuming the layout of this floor follows the layout of the floor below, you would have to route yourself through at least two more hallways. And with your current bounty of black luck, they'd no doubt have sconces that didn't work either. From there, it would then become a question of finding the right room or rooms to make sure that you checked all of the shared wall for doors.That ... well, that could chew through quite a few minutes - with absolutely no guarantee that you will get anything out of it. And that is if you are even checking the right rooms ...
