[QUOTE="Carlo-One, post: 9183538, member: 7015827"] Darrow rejoined his companions and caught up with them in the guest cave; meanwhile, they gave Aerikoth additional space and time to further examine Rosten’s magical map. After several hours, the wizard emerged from the back of the cave, announcing that he had discovered something intriguing. Rosten eagerly encouraged him to share, the hin looking up at Aerikoth with tired yellowed eyes that still gleamed with obvious interest. The wizard declared that, as he had hypothesized, the map changed depending on who held it. What was intriguing, if his study of it was accurate, was that the changes were affected only by those in proximity to the bearer of the map, not its holder. Rosten was puzzled by this, so the wizard further explained that the illusion and divination enchantments were slowly altering because he now held it, but Aerikoth himself had no effect on the map’s contents – only his companions, somehow. Dermot furrowed his brow and asked Rosten when the map had started showing the dragon’s lair. In response, the hin scratched his head and said it was on one of his first days in Westgate. Aerikoth confirmed with Rosten that the Dragon Coast had been visible, but nothing was marked – then, the isle in the Dragonmere was shown, followed by the Hidden Peak. Darrow observed it was therefore doubtful that the map had brought Rosten’s former pirate companions to the Hidden Peak. This did little to calm Rosten, who ranted about the map showing only what was important to others, and his former Captain spending years chasing down what it was showing, turning all the men into monsters. Aerikoth had no answer to this, but pointed out how the appearance of the new locations on the map logically matched Rosten’s joining of the party. The wizard also observed that unless the Captain was skilled in the Art, he would not be likely to have understood the map’s true function, perhaps thinking it was showing him his own desires. The group then pored over the map’s current form, with Dermot noting that the island in the Dragonmere appeared to be the location of what he knew as Slaver’s Isle, which he, Aerikoth and Darrow had visited sailing out of Starmantle; there, as Aerikoth recalled, they eliminated the slaver presence and freed numerous slaves. Darrow also recalled a vampire being there – Tuli the vampire spawn, as Aerikoth clarified. [/QUOTE]
