Discovery, ExplorationThis Maze is maddening! The first sundial as easy enough, but these others... (have you encountered two others or many others that have only exhibited two types of shadows?) From the one pointing North, Southeast, and Southwest simultaneously you have tried almost every path and have been met with areas of resistance before returning to a sundial.
At the moment, for the fourth time you find yourselves at an intersection where eight paths converge symmetrically with a sundial pointing North, Southeast, and Southwest simultaneously.

Undoubtedly the Council of Waterdeep will soon hold another session to be briefed on Xonthal's Tower and your dealings with the Thayans.
