What room did Jeff Draw?

A hallway with an event

The tile labeled 'Hallway' is adorned with the same symbol from the kitchen. He places the tile to the east of the dining room and you hear a click echo from the other room. You all started making your way there before Jeeves cleared his throat and indicated the decks.

Jeff : "Oh yeah, gotta draw a card."

He seems a little distracted as he grabs the top card from the event deck and reads it aloud.

Jeff : "A crossroad awaits"

James : "That seems ominous."

Alexis : "What should we do?"

Jeff : "Doesn't seem like we have a choice. Guess we just go to the hallway and check it out."

He's right of course. You are all interested to see where this is going and you find yourself needing a distraction. You keep finding your eyes lingering on Jeff in ways they never had before. You take the lead. You aren't sure if it's your imagination but you think you feel Jeff's eye's lingering on you as well as you approach the door. As you reach it Jeff steps ahead.

Jeff : "It's my tile, I might as well open it."

He does so as if expecting the handle to be electrified. Almost anti-climactically the doors swings open to reveal a rather plain hallway lit with dim incandescent bulbs and lined with portraits that looked vaguely like they could have been distant relatives of yours.

The five of you wander in, not sure what to expect. Once Jeff is halfway down the hall closely followed by you and Brian he turns to the rest of you.

Jeff : "Huh, nothing hap-"

Before he could finish his statement the floor fell out beneath Sammy and James. The two of them barely had time to let out terrified yelps before they had fallen out of sight and the floor returned and with it an eerie silence.

Jeff : "What the hell!?"

Jeeves walked in over the trap door as if nothing had happened.

Jeff : "What happened to them?"

Jeeves : "I assure you they're quite safe. They'll keep playing in a separate group. Maybe you'll meet up with them later."

The guys are looking a little on edge and you feel the need to reassure them, remembering what Cerve had said about not being in any danger.

Alexis : "I'm sure they're ok. Cerve wouldn't let any of us get hurt."

The boys seems skeptical. Jeff is the first to recover and take charge, apparently seeing no use in further deliberation. You admired his will to action.

Jeff : "How does it work now? Do we share turns with them?"

Jeeves : "No, whenever you split up you only follow the turn order of your group at your own pace."

Jeff looks at Brian who seems to have gotten over his own daze.

Brian : "Alright, my turn"
