    No, she is randomly picking directions. And that "someone" was me, and I was quite clear we'd need to see her be methodical about the search, which so far she has not been.

    It is also a really poor way of escaping a maze in which enemies are behind you, especially if you do know the two ways out, and you decided to NOT go in either direction.

    ETA: also, the right hand rule does not work when there is a possibility of loops in the maze, which suffice to say it is not impossible in a mountain range.

    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
