Don't worry about the gaps. Just follow the torches. They're there for a reason, you know. Could you imagine how much we'd go overbudget if we put spontaneous torches? It'd be awful, and we can't be having that.
Keeping that in mind, I'll try to alert you to any hazards in your path. The folks who built this place died out hundreds of years ago, and our public works budget has suffered as of late, so some of that scaffolding might have holes in it. You can always jump over it. Gravity's normal here, we didn't change that. Although we tried.
