End of Ledge
A ledge from the east ends here, and a tunnel leads north into the wall. There
is a rather odd smokey odor in the warm air of the tunnel.
The princess enters from the west. She seems surprised to see you.
Your sword has begun to glow very brightly.

>WEST
You can't go that way.
The princess walks east. She glances back at you as she goes.
Your sword is glowing with a faint blue glow.

The princess follows this path from DRAGON-LAIR:

<GLOBAL PRDIRS
    <TABLE "south" DRAGON-ROOM "north" P?SOUTH
           "east" LEDGE-TUNNEL "west" P?EAST
           "east" RAVINE-LEDGE "west" P?EAST
           "down" DEEP-FORD "up" P?DOWN
           "south" MARBLE-HALL "north" P?SOUTH
           "east" STREAM-PATH "west" P?EAST
           "east" FORMAL-GARDEN "west" P?EAST
           "north" GARDEN-NORTH "south" P?NORTH
           "in" GAZEBO-ROOM "out" P?IN>>

The elements of each row are:

  1. The direction the princess leaves in.
  2. The room she walks to.
  3. The direction she enters from.
  4. The direction you will walk if you try to follow her.

This is what the map looks like:

+-------------+
| DRAGON-LAIR |
+-------------+
       |
+-------------+
| DRAGON-ROOM |---.
+-------------+   |
                  |
          +--------------+  +--------------+                      +--------+
          | LEDGE-TUNNEL |--| RAVINE-LEDGE |                      | GAZEBO |
          +--------------+  +--------------+                      +--------+
                                 up | down                          in | out
                              +-----------+                    +--------------+
                              | DEEP-FORD |                    | GARDEN-NORTH |
                              +-----------+                    +--------------+
                                    |                                  |
                             +-------------+  +-------------+  +---------------+
                             | MARBLE-HALL |--| STREAM-PATH |--| FORMAL-GARDEN |
                             +-------------+  +-------------+  +---------------+

So the path between DRAGON-ROOM and LEDGE-TUNNEL curves. That row should presumably be changed to this intead:

"east" LEDGE-TUNNEL "north" P?EAST
