[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9226033, member: 20459"] [I][B]JENDI[/B] recognizes that his sister will take some convincing to continue following his navigation using his maps, but she has only made study of the land aboveground: his studies have included what lies below. The basic shapes of the riverbeds, he believes, remain - mostly - the same as are depicted on those maps, except for here, at this point. The halfelf looks forward along the almost path, then turns back to survey the direction from which they came, then back again. Then, Jendi bends down and looks at the soil in the dried streambed, picks some up, and tastes it. Toriq, who has knelt down beside him, looks at him quizzically, head cocked to the side. She does not say a word, just studies him silently. Jendi puts his hand back into the silt and allows the dried sediment to flow through his fingers. Closely examining the stones, pebbles and soil which make up the sediment, he asks his sister, "does this look like the usual stones of the bottom of riverbeds in this forest? Aren't these pieces here stones generally found underground?" After dropping some of the sediment into her hands for her to study, Jendi stands back up and surveys some of the geological features around where they have stopped. He hears a murmur of agreement from Toriq, as his brain knits together what he has been studying in his charts and maps, with the strange sediment they have found, and finally with what he can see at this moment. He retrieves one of the several maps in his satchel, kneels once more next to his sister, and indicates a point on the map. Meeting her questioning eyes, Jendi - holding his finger to that point - gestures with his chin to a small rock formation. "You would know better than I, Riqqi, does that rock over there resemble this?" he asks of Toriq, who compares the formation with the map's drawing. She slowly answers a laconic, "could be." Her brief answer would inspire confidence in no one except her overly confident brother, who goes on: "and wasn't that once an iron mine? And this sediment tastes of iron!" Toriq stares up at her brother for a long moment, then briefly at the sediment in her hand - tasting it herself, and then finally she looks back at the old iron mine. Then she nods.[/I] [HR][/HR] * Toriq is making a Secondary Skill Nature check to fact-check Jendi's assumptions about the natural world to give a +2 bonus to * Jendi's Primary Skill History check to read the map and compare features on it with features in the natural world: r16 + 8 + 2 SS = 26 vs 13 Moderate DC/Success [/QUOTE]
