A Treasure hunt gets Interestingly Distracted

A cartographer, named Linda, had this to report:

Date/Time: 12/1/2002 6:36:29 PM
   
Subject: Got Treasure Maps? I can decipher them.

I know a lot of you have treasure maps piling up and I'm here to help! I'll be around PaxLair between 8 and 9, as the bird flies in the eastern sky. If enough people show up, we can get a lot of maps done. I'm the same treasure hunter that worked for the orcs two weeks ago.

Ciao!

A little later, she had this to add:

We didn't dig up any treasure maps

But I found a lot of treasure! It was an interesting evening. At first, the only one I saw around was Ga'kuct. He had to show me a "tuff" map he dug up. After running around with a few solen, we came back to PaxLair and Ga'kuct asked me to reveal someone near the orc's hut. La, di, dah! It was Dwalin. Ga'kuct explained that he's the minion of Taleemoor. That's the closest I could get in translation, since I'm not familiar with those who frequent PaxLair.

Dwalin accused me of being an orc immitation. I cleared that up and he soon disappeared after someone named Samuel showed up. Seems Samuel is half-human and half-orc. His friend, Joe arrived and we went to the Saloon where we met wizzie. wizzie is funny, but full of information. He had some maps he wanted me to do, but when I asked if the others would help us dig up the treasure, they replied that they are only miner orcs. Whoever heard of orcs that don't clomp? That's when we learned that they are only half-orc.

About this time, a handsome man, by the name of Tassadar arrived. After introductions, the half-orclings asked that we go to see their tavern. I took their gate along with a few others, but we lost Tassadar in the process. We chatted and drank at the orc's tavern, while admiring all they had accomplished. The place was neat as a pin and not smelly at all!

When I inquired about vendors, they said their boss had a place in Trammel and offered to take us there. Along, we went. It was a very nice place too. We met their boss, Lyonne there. wizzie contracted to buy some shiny armor from Lyonne, while I inquired of vendors and other merchandise.

wizzie left for home, and I offered to see Joe back to his domicile in Felucca. Done! Sleep beckons.

The End
