Maure Castle: How to get from the Statuary to the Chambers of Antiquities?

[Siberys]

I have scoured the map of the statuary for a stairway that leads up to the chamber of antiquities, but cannot seem to find one. Any help?

Also, would someone eplain the whole thing about the Chambers being a level lower, but up? I find it a little hard to grasp...

I don't recall exactly where the connection between those two levels was listed, but I can help with the other question you asked. Typically in D&D a "lower level" is judged by how far it is from the entrance of a dungeon complex. It could be physically lower, higher, on another plane, or whatever - actual placement in relation to other levels in irrelevant.

Traditional dungeon topography had a top down design & this terminology made perfect sense (think Diablo) even if it can be a little confusing in more complex dungeon settings. So the Chambers can be a "lower level" than the Statuary even though they are "upstairs".

Hope this helped...

This was one of several questions Rob answered over on his Maure Castle board, in case anyone's curious:
