It was clear that our best chance of getting out of Amber without Quinn or Corwin was via Trump. The idea had occurred to us all, so we began searching the castle. The first place we checked for Trumps was the library. In our Amber several complete decks were stored there. Here, a complete deck appeared to consist of Corwin, Quinn, and Castle Amber. Sadly, none of which was very useful. We split into two groups and searched further. The only other card we came upon was in Corwin's bedroom. It was another of Castle Amber. I was beginning to weigh the option of Trumping Quinn in an attempt to quickly pull her, and maybe the others, through to us. It seemed like a slim chance, but it would be better than attempting nothing. (Connie tried just this tactic later to no effect) Luckily, Deirdre remembered That Dworkin had drawn Trump sketched on a cell wall back in our Amber. If Corwin had recreated that cell... The Trump drawings were there. One of them was of The Lighthouse of Cabra and the other was of Dworkin's lab, presumably near the Primal Pattern. We activated the Trump of the lab and successfully traveled through.

I can't remember if Quinn had been specific about whether her father had drawn the cross-universe Trumps. I think she said, only, that he had given them to her. Bleys had been surprised when I suggested that Corwin might be a Trump artist, though he did admit it was certainly possible. I am now beginning to think that it was Dworkin who drew the RoseAmber Trumps. They did look similar in type to those on the cell walls. Perhaps I will ask Connie about this later.

I find it likely that Brandon has Trump artist abilities.

When we return to Amber I will have to check the dungeon cells. I think I have found the simplest method of traveling to the Primal Pattern. It may some day be a very helpful bit of knowledge.
