in this case the map does say "What is my name?" when you are atop
a tombstone. viewing the tombstone gives an excellent clue as to
what should be said. along the edge of the room are any number of
spots where the live/die remarks show up. since the entire room
has disabled magic it also gives a clue that there must be some
way out (else word of recall wouldn't have been disabled).
question of artistic taste: would this seem sufficient?
aside: if the map maker code won't compile just find the map
file and grep -i 'match' to get the magic words. or isn't this
doable in the original situation?
