[QUOTE="Ziona, post: 203155, member: 484"] [b] The Road To Waterdeep [/b] Dent and Nuttin quickly found that Lox Lumley did not tire easily. The morning they left they had a hard time getting him out of bed, but he was a bundle of energy once he was on his feet. Constantly telling stories, (“Did I ever tell you about that one time…”), and forever “finding” things that belong to Nuttin (“I was just holding it for you…”), it seemed that Lox was truly tireless. The only time he was quiet for a short while was when Dent told him brief stories of living in the wilderness, or when he was asleep. (However, even while sleeping he managed to make enough noise by snoring to keep Nuttin annoyed). If nothing else, Lox’s stories helped to pass the time on their somewhat long journey. One story that interested both Dent and Nuttin was about the current leader of the Thieves’ Guild in Waterdeep. “Rumor has it that he made it through the maze and got a wish,” cried Lox in awe. “I wonder what he wished for…do you think that’s how he managed to become the leader? I wonder if I could wish for the same wish that someone else already wished…Nuttin, do you think that could happen? Or do you suppose it would just not work, or maybe there would be some sort of magical explosion…” Nuttin just sighed and rolled his eyes, losing interest in Lox’s story. Between reprimanding and keeping an eye on Lox, Nuttin felt as though he was still raising one of his younglings. When Nuttin told stories, it was usually about his wife or kids, or the times he had when he was a young halfling. These stories usually ended with “and if I ever tried to get away with the shenanigans you pull Lumley, my hide would be as tanned as leather!” Nuttin considered his stories to have some worth, not like the chattering that Lox spewed. Dent was quiet, almost somber, on the way to Waterdeep. His eyes often showed that he was deep in thought, and something serious furrowed his brow. Many times he would scout ahead and long moments would pass before the halfling duo saw their friend. Dent would return with interesting berries to snack on, or a quick story about an animal he saw in the woods. Several weeks had passed when Dent informed his halfling companions that they were nearing the area of Lord Korvish’s Keep. The trio had gone South-West through Cormyr, traveled through the Western Heartlands, and then followed the coast North towards Waterdeep. Finally, they had arrived. “I don’t see a maze, Dent,” said Lox, looking about. “I hate to agree with Lox on anything, Dent, but where is this maze supposed to be?” asked Nuttin. “I believe Korvish’s Keep is South from here. When we locate the Keep, I’m sure they’ll give us the location of the maze,” Dent replied. The halflings followed Dent, trusting their friend to get them to Korvish’s Keep. Before long, they came upon a small traveler’s town that surrounded a large, lavish Keep. “Whoa, I bet that’s it!” exclaimed Lox. “To be sure,” Nuttin smiled. “But I don’t see a maze,” Dent noted. “They must give you the directions or the location once you agree to take the challenge.” “What are we waiting for?
