Your compulsive need to do things in left-to-right order causes you to choose the middle passage.
After a short trot, you find yourself in the Moon Observatory. There is a large window
on one side of the room that overlooks the moonscape outside. A pair of binoculars stands in front.
A small alcove on the wall holds books and knick-knacks. There is a comfortable-looking
cushion that looks like just the thing to rest your royal flank upon. After fleeing the scene of the crime, you find yourself back in the hall.
Your Cartographer’s Cap and its +5 sense of direction enables you to look offscreen
and realize that there was a third passage there all along.
The leftmost passage leads downwards, where you’ve just come from. The middle passage appears
to lead upwards. The rightmost passage appears to lead straight on. Your ill-advised attempts at maintenance seem to have only made Jeffery worse.
You affix a hastily-scribbled note to divert suspicion, and then sneak away
in a comically over-anthropomorphized manner. OH GOSH WHAT HAVE YOU DONE
