Message: <blockquote data-quote="Leif" data-source="post: 4350074" data-attributes="member: 48762">Constable DugginConstable Duggin puffs furiously at his short clay pipe as Kerlan begins his tale, and he continues to smoke urgently all the way through it.  He is very attentive and thoughtful-looking, and he seems to be really trying hard to give you some counsel that will be worth something.  [Either: a- he is really a conscientious constable; b- he is fearful about the sort of vengeance that might be meted out by dissatisfied wizards; c- he is anxious that you give Wizard Crus (who is probably EASILY the most powerful person in this area) a good report of him; or, d- maybe it is something else entirely....]  As Kerlan finishes up the story of your journey thus far, Constable Duggin pulls his pipe from his mouth, studies its contents, knocks said contents out into a short barrel behind his desk, and then begins to re-fill it.  He says, "Ahh, I see!  Hmm, where to begin, where to begin....  Well let me start by saying that the rumors of Drow Wizards, Witches, and the Underdark are items best discussed with Wizard Crus.  I'm not qualified to speak intelligently about those topics, but I will say that I have heard those tales, too.  Now about the Wyrm of Quail Valley and the monsters turning men to stone, I have heard some about the Wyrm, and we occasionally hear of someone being turned to stone, but I really don't think that the turning to stone is a problem tied to any specific area.  And, I'm none too sure that you fellows better go looking for the Wyrm of Quail Valley just yet, unless there's an awful lot more to you than meets the eye!  You just might find him, and that, I'm afraid, would be a rather short and sad battle, indeed.  Now about folks being turned to stone,  that is rather more of a transient hazard of the sort that travelers all over Termana must face.   And there may be the odd Giant loose in the Forest of Nin also; mostly, I believe, it's them as what's of the two-headed variety!  There are both orcs and hobgoglins to be found 'round these parts.  The biggest bunch of orcs is off in the Forest of Nin somewhere (and I hear that they skulk about down in the Underdark, too), but now I've heard that a big gang of Hobgoblins has moved into the old abandoned Keep just a short distance north of Pembrose.  No, you'll have no trouble getting from here to Crus's Tower.  Why it's just past the outskirts of Twain, so your already there!"OOC:  I tried to faithfully draw part of the map of Twain that's in the module.  I have no idea why Crus's Tower isn't shown, but it's supposed to be "just past the edge of the map," which seems like a total cop-out to me!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
