    On a special note, there is a hallway connecting the lower rooms of the floor to the main chamber at (1456,1599). I will lovingly refer to this hallway as the Hallway Of Death. It is my advice to just not use this small hallway and just take the longer side routes. Even with a thief with 100% to Find Trap,s I was not able to find all of them, including one that trips every time you walk over it that throws a fireball into the hallway. If you do choose to go through this hallway, the following is a list of the traps I was able to find:
    (1456,1599)
    (1491,1558)
    (1498,1552)
    (1533,1526)
