Escape through the Upper Wall

I dreamed that I was pursued into a great  hall by enemies.  It was a lovely hall, all brass and wood and high windows and a great roaring fire.  Comfortable elegant furniture all over. Highly polished.  I started to climb up the walls to get away from them.  They tried to throw things at me.  One of them climbed after me and when I pondered what to do I was reminded that I was a prince of Amber.  So I put points into climbing and acrobatics (I guess I was an RPG sort of prince of Amber), quickly scaled the wall, grabbed an enormous tasseled cord and swung across the wall, and willed that there be a secret entrance there and then through the entrance a roof exit there . . . a scaffolding . . . a rocky outcropping . . . a sheer granite cliff strung with vines . . .

It was fun.
