“Darius is on the right track there, I think,” Rahvin says. “The obvious motive for kidnapping a mapmaker is that you need a map made. Either its a map to some particular place he has already been to, or has detailed knowledge of, or it is a new place that has been discovered and some one needs to make a map.”
“The other possibility is that they need him to decipher some sort of an obscure, or cryptic map.”
“Were any of Mr. Lyman's mapmaking supplies stolen from his home, Delvish?” Rahvin asks. From his long travels, Stormcrow has some idea of the materials needed to craft a good map. “Most of the materials needed for mapmaking are simple: inks and quills. However, maps are usually drafted on large sheets of vellum or parchment. In addition, compasses and rulers are usually needed. Perhaps we could make inquiries at local suppliers and we may be able to track any recent purchases or thefts of those.”
“Even if Lyman is expected to decipher a map, he may still need some of these implements, like magnifying glasses and calipers.”
