I'm going to edit my last post a little bit to straighten out some of my misconceptions...
Does it look reasonable if the situation is described now as the following:
Ulric and Rowenna are somewhere near the top-right corner of the kitchen (SW door leading to the cellar)?
Ghem is at the bottom-right corner (NW door leading to the Alder Court)?
Stigend is to the left from Ghem, somewhere in the bottom-middle between the corridor-door (NE) and the Alder Court door (NW)?
Withold and Ginna are about in the middle of the kitchen?
Lord Eodwine has just reached the "back-door" top-left (SE door)? And Elborn is somewhere in the middle of the left left-side between the corridor-door (NE) and the backdoor (SE) - or possibly still at the corridor-door?
I'll change my post accordingly if this looks like a reasonable description...
