They all eyed the map carefully as it was unrolled on a table, Rosten stroking his hand lovingly over it while he peered down, as the hin seemingly had done countless times before. They seemed confused by what the map showed, in this case a new unknown point of interest in between Teziir and Cormyr, while a point at a known slaver island off to the east had disappeared.After a half-serious debate about the possible presence of sea trolls at the new location, Aerikoth stated that he needed more time with the map to study it to discover what it does and perhaps the reasons behind it. The wizard observed, that the changes had occurred after he had taken possession of it from Rosten, noting that, as previously determined, the person who actually bears the map does not affect what it shows. The hin frowned deeply and declared that it was a torturous thing, as whoever created it must have known what a trap they were laying. Whenever his former pirate captain on the Laughing Boar had held the map, they would sail from point to point and butcher and flay whatever they found, if it weren’t treasure.Frowning as he put his finger on the new point, Rosten muttered that it was not on any of the main shipping lanes and there was no reason for anything to be there - unless it was perhaps a rumored secret pirate haven. Aerikoth expressed doubt that the map would show something under the waves, so there probably was an uncharted isle at the location. This still did not explain, however, why and how the map was now displaying it. Aerikoth cautioned that the item was powerful and had previously shown places of ill fortune, so he asked to be given more time to study it, prior to them following it anywhere. The others agreed to this prudent measure, and the wizard declared he hoped to have a better understanding of it within a tenday, as he placed the map back among his possessions.</blockquote>
