Just a question out of curiosity

Do you run the Farmlands North Bandit Cave clockwise, or counter clockwise?

I've gone both ways, but usually get attacked from the right-hand first when approaching the fork, so end up going counterclockwise since I'm already down that leg.
I play a baker. Sometimes she provides counseling or treatment.

She seems unusually interested in cursed items.
She has also been seeking a variety of gems and stones.

I haven't run it in a long, long time. But when I did, it was counter clockwise.

This explains why the one time I went clockwise, it felt so weird! ;-)

Nascar goes counter clockwise. And runners on a track run counterclockwise. Basketball players tend to naturally run laps counterclockwise. If you ever try and run a track/etc clockwise, it just feels so weird.

I take the left fork first, clear it out, then take the longer and more winding path to the right.

So clockwise, left to right, like a normal person.

I just teleport to whatever part of the map I need to be at. Up your game, Z.

On a more serious note, whenever faced with a fork in the road or a dungeon, I've learned to always go left in D&D. This is something my friends and I figured out years ago, playing PnP.

Huh, who knew science was involved!
This is nice to know!

So you're saying I'm not a normal person!? :cry:

I also teleport around the map counter clockwise ... I thought you could only teleport to what you could see?

But why? :think:
Sounds like you have good reasoning behind this. Let me in on it! :-P

Because left is right and right is wrong, of course.
