Chapter 2, Turn 10, Supplement 1


   Ziedon made his way from Grenzig, following the details of the map closely.
He walked for days, until he finally came to a small hill. 'How could this be
Rakbaven?' Ziedon thought. He checked and rechecked the map. He had seen all
the landmarks encapsulated within that sloppy double circle on the map, so
this hill, barely thirty feet high, had to be Rakbaven.
   He spent the next several hours walking all over the mountain. Finally,
exhausted from his travels and his search, he sat down to rest.

   Hours later, he awoke with a start at a sudden noise. 'I must have fallen
asleep,' he thought, as the moons had risen. Zabrigar shone brightly that
night; it was almost two-thirds full, and its light prevented thousands of
stars around it from being seen.
   Ziedon turned around to find the source of the noise that awoke him, and
saw an aged woman sitting behind him.
   "You were asleep for hours," she shrieked in an accent Ziedon did not
recognize. "What are you doing here?" she asked.
   Ziedon debated with himself whether it was wise to advertise his mission,
but he decided it could not hurt anything to speak of it. "I am on a quest,"
he spoke from within his hood, "to find a stone that glows when it touches
metal."
   "Ah, the stone. It's in this mountain, you know."
   "It is? Can you show me where it is?"
   "Show you? You'll have to find it for yourself, but I'll come with you.
Here." The woman led Ziedon to the top of the mountain, and stabbed her
walking stick into the ground. Instead of resisting, the ground gave way and
the stick passed right through it. "You get in through there."

Refer to the main Turn 10 message for miscelaneous information.

For the next turn, do whatever you want, but make sure to stay in character.

Now that you're separated from the group, I think I'm going to change the
style of the next few turns. What I might do is send you bits of turns based
on your responses, and when you rejoin the group, you can fit all the bits
into a first-person narrative, where you tell the group what's happened.
Alternitavely, I can just send you the supplementary turns, and then say
"Ziedon told them what had happened" or something when you rejoin. What do
you think of those ideas? If you have any other ideas as to how to work
this, please tell me. Also, we might want to send messages over the internet
to keep the other players from knowing what's happening until Ziedon has
a chance to tell them. Please respond to this supplement through internet
email, because your response will likely warrent a counter-response.

Sorry for the bit of intrusion I made on your character. If Ziedon said
anything in this turn that he shouldn't have, please tell me. I hoped I
knew him well enough that I could predict his response, but there's no way I
could know him as well as you do.
