[QUOTE="Richards, post: 2172568, member: 508"] "I don't get it," said Thorvin, scratching his head. "Accordin' to the stupid map, there should be a chamber right about here." "You sure you're readin' it right?" questioned Ardorrak. "Here, lemme see the fool thing." Thorvin passed the parchment over to his companion. Ardorrak puzzled over it for awhile. "Lessee, this is where we came in...There's the fork in the passageway...What's this? Hey, there wasn't no big round chamber on the right, was there?" The others shook their heads. "And where's that side tunnel we just passed? It don't seem to be on here." Shandrilla pursed her lips and tried her best not to look smug. "How much you say you paid fer this?" asked Ardorrak. "Fifty gold," replied Haaj sullenly. "Well here, then," snarled Ardorrak, shoving the map into Haaj's hands. "You went and bought yerself the most expensive piece of terlet paper I ever seen." "Oh, it's not terlet paper, believe you me," remarked Haaj with a scowl. "It's food." "Huh?" asked Shandrilla, confused. "Least it will be, once I shove it down that blasted sunnuva goblin's throat what sold it to me!" "Okay, so we're without a reliable map," said Javorik, trying to lighten the mood. "So what? We're down here anyway; there are six of us; we're all ready for action. What say we see what there is to see? Maybe we'll stumble across something good. Besides, what's the worst that could happen?" Shandrilla opted to keep silent, but she mentally ticked off the possibilities: [i]Well, we could get lost, we could run into another kind of weird pudding, we could get buried alive in an earthquake, we could run across a drow raiding party....[/i] [/QUOTE]
