Heath will order a Big Mac--oops, not the Golden Arches, eh?

Heath will enter the Good and Order Arches.

"I believe that is the room with the guru again. I heard that there were 8 keys but have only located three, one of which was destroyed. The evil room had a kingly man who offered information in exchange for keys but I did not trust him to tell the truth."

Is 8 the number of variations you can have by going through the arches?  Perhaps it is one key for each variation.

"That's what I thought but combining arches has proved less than helpful." I'll go through the Order and Evil arches then try the door.

Heath, you go through both the Good and Order arches.

Grant, you enter into the room with the man in the crown again:
"Come again have you?  I have the answers you seek if you pay in keys.  You're clearly quite lost."

I guess that I am following Grant.

Addressing the crowned man, "Your pardon, noble sir. He was just showing the places that he has already visited to me. I have no keys to trade, but I am very pleased to meet a man with such impressive head wear. Would you like to leave this room with us?"

ChupaBob, do you go through any of the arches before heading through the door?

I go through the door now.

Heath, you see an angelic figure before you.  He says:
"You've entered into my domain.  If you swear loyalty to me I shall try to help you forward although my enemy may try to stop you."

Heath does so.

OOC: It might be helpful to have a summary of what does what here.  I feel like there's been a lot of moving around but I'm not sure of any details of cause and effect.

(I'm going to have the angel help Heath out more than was originally intended to help things move along.)

The angelic figure says, "I hope this helps you find your way."  He then hands you some parchment with the following written on it.

LG LN LE
NG TN NE
CG CN CE

^ Order
< Good
v Chaos
> Evil

Okay, so now I get the connections to alignment, though I'm not sure how neutral comes into play unless it is the absence of the other part. But I'm still not understanding how to exit.

Heath will thank the man, ask if there is a key.  If not, he will leave the room again, making sure he is doused in order and good by going through the arches.  "I am now lawful good...I think.  What do I do with that?"  He will ask Grant too.

You are not given a key from the angelic figure.

Is there anything that appears to wipe away the effect of an arch?  In other words, how do you get back to neutral?

Is there more than one door here?

There is only one door.  Note that the alignments are next to directions.

I go northwest?

There's still only the one door.  Going through an arch moves you in that direction on the map.

So it's like a rotating door or room?

Pretty much but the room you reach is dependent on the individual.  Also, the effects of the arches are persistent between entering rooms.

I will go through evil and chaos and then go through the door.

(Where I'm lost is the actual goal of the room.  If there is only one door, how do you unlock an exit?)

You end up in a room with a door that has a strange lock which has four keyholes.
(This is the door you have to unlock)

Okay, I go through Order and Evil and then see what is beyond the door.

Behind this door is a man in a crown.  He says:
"You don't happen to have any keys on you, do you?"

"No. How do I get them?"

He replies:
"I'll trade you an answer to a question for a key.  If you don't have any keys then you have no business here."
