[QUOTE="Phoenix, post: 3016311, member: 16166"] [COLOR=DarkSlateBlue] [sblock]Hide check (DC variable) +17 Spot check (DC hidden) +7[/sblock] Jazick almost thought that walking that extra block away from Candlestick Lane would be dramatically different, he had never come this far from his home before, but little changed. There were still old buildings, hungry homeless, and suffering here as well, and in the next street, and the next. The map lead him a little further away from his home easily and accurately, it seemed that Judith's grandfather new his trade. Jazick looked at the 'compass' occassionally, he wasn't sure exactly what it was supposed to lead him to, but the sliver of metal drifted lazily inside the glass as he moved, pointing him in a certain direction, but not in the direction that he wanted to go. Each of the streets began to meld together in a blur as days passed. The map showed him that he had made his way through the Labyrinth, passed the high walls of the Three Stone Green, and along a short stretch of unnamed canals. It was simple enough for Jazick to find somewhere safe to stay, though a few of the buildings he had to share with others seeking shelter from the ever-present storm. There was a large black dot on the map not far off, in a suburb accessable by a large bridge, one that he stumbled across late one night. The massive stone construction once sported beautiful statues of a man, unidentifiable now though. The bridge had a toll booth and massive iron gates preventing people from entering, long unmanned it seemed, and though the gates were locked tight it only took Jazick seconds to clamber across it and into the suburb. This place was quiet, abandoned. The buildings had been allowed to become run-down (much like the rest of the city) but their condition was only recent. It was easy to see that this place was affluent only several decades before, but now no-one lived here. Ahead Jazick could no-longer miss the enormous black ediface of the cathedral that reached far into the sky to be swallowed by the storm far above. His map told him that's where he wanted to be, forboding or not. Down small streets he saw movement, dogs by the looks of things, wild dogs roaming, he would have to be careful. Another hour saw him move into an enormous courtyard at the base of the black cathedral where a strange sight was waiting for him. A ring of bones surrounded the base of the cathedral, a mound that would for Jazick to climb over, human bones...[/color] [/QUOTE]
