The mystery of Benfal (Moore, Tryll)

[Anastasia]

"Dunno," The dwarf grunts as you rub your chin, "But I know one thing, famous dwarf wisdom. It's not the destination, it's the journey."

[Nephrite]

"Well, sir, as I said to the last person -- My name is Moore, I'm with Aurora. If you're ever looking for work with us or to trade with us, you're always welcome." Moore says with a bow.

[Anastasia]

"You do well up there," The dwarf says, returning fully to his whittling.

[Nephrite]

"Thanks. May the stone keep you safe." Moore says as he flies back along the path.

That was a dwarven saying, wasn't it? Crap, did he say it wrong?

[Anastasia]

If it's wrong, the dwarf doesn't comment on it. Instead you fly along and up. You don't come on the spring again - instead the path winds up and up, higher and higher. It looks to be getting rather steep, though nothing your wings can't take care of.

[Nephrite]

Well, if he's being shown a direct path, it wouldn't be wise to ignore it. He will follow it up!

[Anastasia]

You fly up. Up, up and up some more. Eventually the path levels out again, becoming like it was before - just a path going further up the mountain.

[Nephrite]

Does his gut and/or like a 45 on a K:R check tell him he probably went up another layer?

Well, no time like the present! He will stop to say a small prayer, thanking whoever is guiding him, before he continues on.

[Anastasia]

Doesn't look like it to him. Still feels Mercuria-y.

[Nephrite]

Strange... Did that mean he needed to go higher in a different part of the same place...?

Oh well, he'll just soldier on!

[Anastasia]

Roll 1d100-7, would you?

[Nephrite]

22:18] <Nephrite> roll 1d100-7 serith
[22:18] <Serith> Nephrite roll for Serith < 49 > [d100=56]

[Anastasia]

You wander for a time longer, until the path hooks inward. Following it for a time, you see it leads into a green, rolling valley. Stone buildings dot the terrain ahead while a fast moving river travels down the valley.

[Nephrite]

Where in the heck...?

Moore decides to try something - it probably won't work, but he'd like to at least know where he is!

So he casts Lay of the Land!


Presuming that doesn't tell him anything or doesn't work, would a K:L work here? He's mostly trying to figure out where this might be if anything.

[Anastasia]

It's all mountain for 50 miles for every direction, except a familiar cliff a couple of miles ahead, where a dwarf whittles wood.

K:L check, yes.
