[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7426779, member: 12731"] I'm not sure it's not even simpler: AFAIK the ruins could very well just be the original city, minus its inhabitants, who were whisked off to a magical copy somewhere. In short, anyone's conception of Mezro would lead... to Mezro. Just that there's nobody there (except monsters and Flaming Fist mercenaries) and that the buildings have deteriorated as you'd expect from a century of tropical jungle levels of decay. Up to you as the DM. If you want the target to be a mystery ("has Mezro always been a gorge with monkeys?") say nothing. If you want the players to understand they're off target, feel free to describe the teleportation as "you're free-falling incredibly fast, and at the last minute, you're veered off a large circular structure (it went by too fast for you to see any details) and down to a deep gorge infested with monkeys. You appear to have landed off-target, as much as a week's river-rafting away from Mezro." [/QUOTE]
