DOWN either hallway..... Period.....It seems to me that your method of travel would have NOTHING to do with the results of your travel.You could travel on your own two legs, slithering like a snake on your belly, front ways and/or backwards (Or some freaky combination), zigzagging, crawling on your hands and knees, walking on the roof, walking on the wall, carried in a cart, or on someone's back, even a teleport spell is traveling (Even if it is instantaneous), yet in ALL of the above cases, you ARE STILL TRAVELING.............And if you get back to the room where you started, then you are back to your original age. PERIOD....The actual distance traveled DOWN the corridor is the key and THAT is what ages you.The ONLY solution that I have seen that I would try (As a PC) is the ‘go down the old hall, pass the door then go halfway down the young hall and back again to the destination room' solution. I would not try the young hall first, as you would not be able to reach the door as an infant. And BTW; It was clearly stated that you would be dying once you got to the end of either hall, not actually dead......Of course I could be wrong.

When you reach the halfway point you are now revrting back to the age that you were before you reached the end of the hall. Thats why I think its a trick question and the halfway point of the hall is the trick.

Aneoth wrote:I do not get your logic.Whether you are in a cart, or walking, you are still going down the same hall. And you age continuously with each step, or wheel roll taken if you continue down that same hall in the same direction. (or you continue to get younger if going down that hall).Getting to the halfway point and continuing does not make you revert from what I have read. You simply continue to age, or get younger. Again depending on which hall you are in.

Again, you are only walking into the hallway until the halfway point after the halfway point in the hallway you are now walking out of the hallway. I guess I don't get what is so difficult about it. And poking holes in your "logic" I don't know too many people walking around that are at deaths door.

One hallway makes you younger, one makes you older. Both doors would if you get past lead to the same room. Both hallways are triggered by distance traveled, so by the time you reach the end of one you are either a dying elder or a dying baby. Heading back out of a hallway returns you to your normal age.How do you make it past either of the doors?((oh, and no spells))ShaneG.

If he is dead, logically he will still be dead. And still old. But be carefull, his bones are weaker now. Second:Try to give that corpse a last breath, with you first aid feat. Just a little one, a little moment...Maybe this won't be easy, but it was just a thief... not a very important character after all Third:As soon as you see something in the very old eyes of the thief, just a proof that there is a weak life back to your dear old good fellow, throw him through the Youth corridor. You now have a good candidate for a cure of youth!
You obviously never read my first post. Again, I am not claiming victory, nor am I insisting that I am right. I am simply saying it could be a "trick question" and that the answer could be that. I am not trying to twist anything. You are the one who attacked eveyone else's answers and said that they were all wrong, not me.
