FoW Pathfinding and Guide Map

This is a guide and path to follow for a generic balanced group to complete the Fissure of Woe.

If anyone is better at map editing or thinks they see a even more efficient route, feel free to repost. I hope this was helpful to you. I recommend copying it to your computer for better viewing since our forum seems to cut off the sides of it and blur it out somewhat.
