Okay, point conceded. Having a human being having control over a facet of 
the universe does open up a problematic can of worms. However, I think the 
basic idea is still sound, an Agent picking and choosing 'victims' for a 
Room based on his own needs rather than the Room's, but perhaps the idea of 
an Agent deliberatly changing the room is bad. I could easily make the 
Entropic Stair simply lead to Oblivion and lower the Room's 'domain' to 
simple entropy, but that opens up another question - is there a Room of 
Order somewhere?

> I like the idea suggested in the agent's background of an entropomancer 
(or any adept I suppose) who goes into a coma while obtaining a major 
charge.  I imagine that could make for some interesting stories in itself, 
as some other adept decides it's too hard to get a major charge himself, 
and as long as the bodybag's just laying in a coma, he won't miss it, 
right?  So someone finds a ritual or spell to steal charges from other 
adepts (kleptomancers can do something like this, right?  I forget how it 
works, though) and goes after it.  Some other group also tries to get the 
charge, while the Sleepers want to just off the guy (to get rid of the 
possibility of misusing the charge).

I like this idea and I wish I'd thought of it before I'd written most of 
this adventure. *sigh* Massive backpedaling in order.
