It rotates around for a few moments before settling, pointing in a constant direction.  "Just follow this little guy, and it will lead you right to them.  The enchantment will break once you get there; it's not meant for multiple uses.  So hopefully you'll only need to find them once."  He hands the trinket to Firete.  "You will be paid 200 gold each for putting an end to the kobold problem.  Do you have any questions?""Oh," he smiles again, " and welcome to the Kingdom of Jade."[/sblock] </blockquote>
