I was just wondering if you could return to the starting map from other maps in act 1? I am still in the first act and just now realized I had the key to that chest in the starting area. I tried to re-enter from the 3rd map in that act but couldn't find a way into the haystack. I hate it when I do dumb things like this. What a mintue can you move that haystack to find a hole?
My imagination knows nothing about realities. Only plausible possibilites
You'll be able to get back to the uppper levels later <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The whole of Act One takes place in the same area, and soon you will be able to explore all of it at will.
