Rystil[sblock]LOL. Too Funny . . .

Yes . . . we're following a bird looking for a mythical gem of power . . . yeah, it's late at night, no I haven't been drinking. . . . yes, I'll walk that line . . . <sigh> No, we're not crazy.[/sblock]

AbM[sblock] Rystil, do we have enough information with two outer points to develop a plan to search the middle. We know the approximate distance that Selar can sense the gem. If we have two points where is stops and, knowing the distance, make two archs with a compass, the intersection of the arches should give a likely location of the gem.

Or at least a reasonable starting point for a spiral search pattern.[/sblock]

*You only have one point at the moment. The Labourer's Ward would make two, although what you could do is abandon the nearby point in the Labourer's Ward, turn directly around and try to find the opposing point (likely in the Craftman's Ward) instead, and use the compass method (or you can find the Labourer's point, then the Craftman's point and use the exact method). Of course, the compass method is inexact and requires a fairly accurate written map, but you could try to do a rough guesstimate in your head, I guess.*

Rystil[sblock]Although pounding some people in the Labour ward would be fun and gratifying, it would detract from my goal. Abandoning that point would make sense, we'll just find another point to use.

Plus, I have to use it for something other than to hang my hood on.[/sblock]

OK, so the compass method then? Or would you rather just choose a different orientation--say North/South?--to get your chord?

Shouldn't North/South theoretically bounce us off the wall before we achieve the northern point?

While it would be best to have all three points, the compass method should work, and we can get that point from the the craftman's ward.

Can we get a point from near the labourer's Ward say the grand bazaar or traveler's ward?

If you mean the Southern point: Hmmm...it depends, really. If you pick a chord that is pretty far from the centre of the circle (by picking a starting point near to the edge point you already found in the Residential Ward), it will be a little-bitty-short chord that will not bounce you off the wall. The Grand Bazaar and Traveller's Ward may be too close to get a point, at least they have proved such so far.
So Craftman's Ward for the compass then?
