[QUOTE="jkason, post: 5819706, member: 2710"] [sblock=ooc]If I read [url=http://livingpf.wikia.com/wiki/The_Old_World]the wiki map[/url] correctly, as the crow flies, Venza to Kostry Kopec (I've put it around the southern apex of the Inner Sea) is actually roughly [b]2200 miles[/b]. So, 3 scrolls even if I buy the haversack stuff, and you have no way of studying the mid-trip jump locations, so you'd either have to supplement with scrying scrolls or pay someone to do the scrying. Thus my trying to jump through hoops to come up with a means to get you there in record time.

The adventure proper is in service of the town / mayor, so I expect that succeeding there would have the side effect of netting you success at your MacGuffining, as well. As to Kalgor's honor: so far as I'm aware, the only character who's expressed any objection to the payment is Tyrien.
