[QUOTE="SpiritMonger, post: 17416, member: 2056"] [b]Maps cont[/b] 1st game played with Snumpkin and Kyren: Upon examing the body Snumpkin decided that he completely and uterly knew nothing of the man. Although he did look somewhat familier. The more he thought about it he seemed to remember a man looking very similiar to this one asking for directions in his hometown about three or four weeks ago. He thought nothing more of it until today. Kyren remembered that he too had seen the man in his town almost a three teendays ago. He thought it funny though, because he was not accumested to seeing adventures who walked completely unarmed and seemed so lost. He blew it off as old age kicking in. The two headed toward the desiginated meeting place getting better acquainted. Snumpkin noted that the man had no visible marks on how he died and did not seem old enough to be lost to father time. (the invitations mentioned a meeting after the funeral in the White Hart Inn where the desceased's property would be distributed according to his wishes.) Upon arrival at the Inn the two stepped up to the barkeep and began to question him about the dead man. He seemed to know nothing about him, not even his name. He could have been just avoiding answering. After taking a quick glance around the room they see a elderly fellow, rather well dressed sitting at a table in the back. He waves them back. "Ah yes, must be one of the four I am looking for." Snumpkin: "Well if you are talking about funeral they you are probably correct. You see we recieved these invitations to attend this funeral, and recieve a share of the inhertiance. " "Yes, yes the invitations. Could I see them please. Just to verify you are who you say you are." They hand the man the invitations, and he takes a glance before deciding these are in fact the fellows he was looking for. After a short discussion and a wait for the other two the older man decides to proceed, and since the other two hadn’t arrived yet that their share would be split between the present. With instructions to give them to the individuals if encountered. The inheritance was a parchment tube. Inside the two found four maps leading in different directions. (The maps were made corresponding to the players location or individual story lines. Each one of the maps also had a riddle or poem written on them. Map one leads to the Dragon Spine Mountains. Kyren seems to take a fondness to this one. [I]Avoid your enemies And you’ll be fine. Revenge and gold awaits In the Dragon’s Spine Map two leads to the Vale of Lost voices. Wandern seems to know that this is his. Oh I forgot to mention. Wandern is mute. All appears quite Where the heros died You’ll find your treasure. Where the locusts hide Map three leads to the Thunder Peaks. Nobody is sure who this belongs to. Deep in the peaks Where nobody knows Lies a stronghold of treasure Where the water flows. Map four leads to somewhere to the east along a river. Again nobody has claimed this map as their own. A path will open But only at night You’ll get your reward Where rocks take flight.[/I] [/QUOTE]
