Finally indeed, well that too way longer then it needed to.
Very odd that the key is floating. It seems that the trap is connected to the key itself and not the string, but we deal with that later. I am quite happy that you managed to keep the coin key. You never know when this type of stuff comes in handy.
We have a lot to go trough with Alide, after we met her last time two months ago. Yes, even taking your rests into account it should have been only a few days for you. Time clearly works different for us, so try to clear this tower before we all die of old age.
First, a question regarding the services, as I believe we all had a fundamental misunderstanding how this works.
In the rules it states
"Lastly, Alide offers healing services, these can be taken alongside either equipment or spells. She offers to either heal the chosen mentally or physically."
From my understanding that means we can get a free heal, on each floor in addition to the other options. Is that correct?
Second, Alide would you be willing to offer any services beyond the ones listed? I am mostly interested in information. I am sure Yulia could provide you with...SERVICE for that. We, as in the voices would have stuff to offer as well. Most(well some) are writers and can conjure you up an erotic story. Personally, I'm also a very skilled artist. At any rate I'm sure we could come to an understanding.
Third, Yulia try to offer Alide the coin key for a trade in. It's the key to her room, so I'm sure she wants it. Make sure to sell it how awesome and valuable it is. Ask her if she wants some of your other junk as well, while you are at it. Maybe you can trade in your soaked panties for a fresh pair.
And finally for the actual services, i choose
1xmental heal
1x utility spell
and here is the updated map of what should be now all of floor 2
