Ptolus: 165 Vock Row - "Rat-catchers"

[Voca]

Mata peers at Ella's map when she takes it out, looking for land marks.

[sblock=ooc]Do I have any clue which way is which? Why didn't I buy a compass![/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]Glad you asked! Turns out that dwarves can tell direction underground!

One branch goes west, the other south.[/sblock]

 

[Voca]

Mata asks Ella if she can see the map for a second.

[sblock=ooc]I'll compare the map to the intersection we are at. Can I tell which way we should go?[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]It looks like west and eventually north, at a later intersection.[/sblock]

 

[Aeshen]

Aeshen allows the dwarven party members to lead him through this envoirment, since they clearly seem comfortable with the navigation of it. He keeps himself alert as he inspects the area around the party for anything of interest that might show a trap, secret enterance, or similiar hidden items of interest.

"The west leg is the one we want Mairan." Mata gestures down the appropriate passage way. "Glad you found that map Ella, this would be much harder without it".

 

[Vdou]

"Mata, if you can tell where we are going, perhaps you should make some markings on the map as well."

Ella smiles at Mata "We should all thank Master Kunstler's cousin for the map."

Ella pauses.

"I still can't get over what a conincidence it is that Master Kunstler's cousin drew the same map we are using for an errand."

Ella shakes her head and slowly follows.

"Well then, lets move on." She moves ahead and adds, "Maybe the ratling was a pet Kunstler enhanced and his cousin brought it down here when it got too big for the household." Mairan chuckles at the thought and keeps moving ahead until she's told to go in another direction.

 

[Wool]

Thurst shifts uncomfortably, but keeps his thoughts to himself. Coincidences are not something the methodical dwarf has learned how to appreciate.

[sblock=ooc]Just how much does Thurst know about the squabble between Kunstler and his cousin?[/sblock]

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

[sblock=ooc]No one in the household has ever heard the cousin mentioned by name, although "[obscenity][obscenity][obscenity][obscenity] member of my family" can sometimes be overheard in rants.[/sblock]
