"This is such a nice gift, Polla. With any small shred of luck it could very well save our lives. Thank you!" Jacob says as we all settle back into the road state of mind and start making our exit.

Natasha:"I think I have some wine around here somewhere." Polla looks through the pantry in her kitchen and returns with a bottle for you. "This should work nicely."
You fill your cup halfway and the cup sings the following tune;
"Aah, this is quite good. It reminds me of the song for which I was the inspiration. A muse, if you will. I believe the Bard's name was Sir... Mixalot?"
(She takes a few sips of wine and sighs contentedly.)
"Oh! How lucky I am to have this little friend now, I'm overcome with the urge to sail now. And look it's two colors like me! Thank you Miss Polla, this is a fine gift." Penelope will give Polla a hug and then search her bag for a safe place to store her little starfish.
After you all thank Polla for her hospitality, she asks you how you plan to get to Valtoria. When she learns that you plan to walk, she laughs. "That will take you weeks! Longer if you get lost or side tracked. I know a shortcut that will get you there in days. Do any of you have a map?"
Someone hands Polla the map and she lights up. "Oh, I see you have a magic map. I've seen these before, I should be able to alter it." She pauses and looks at Penelope. "You should watch this dearie, that way you can change the map if you need to in the future."
She makes some simple motions with her hands, says a couple of magical phases and concentrates on the map. "Unfortunately this only works with places you know," she says to Penelope. "However...if you have a location's name, this map will help you find it." Slowly the map changes and new locations are revealed.

"There," she says, "This should shorten your trip greatly."
"About two days from here is a tower called the Caondra. This tower has a twin just outside Valtoria called the Ocedririn. The priests within these towers teleport people and objects back and forth as part of their holy mission. They should be eager to help you and usually ask very little in return." She hands the map back to whoever had it.
Penelope watches intently, fascinated by the magic taking place. "Oh that is so neat! Thank you for sharing this with me Miss Polla. I'll do my best to remember it."
"Yes we must be going; friends to meet, places to be and such. It has been lovely spending time with you Miss Polla. I hope our paths do cross again some time."
"I'm glad we could be of help to you in saving your life. I appreciate your hospitality and your short-cut through the mountains. Take care of yourself little lady, and consider staying away from that tomb. Seems like a dangerous spot and we won't be around to save you from the next group of churlish outlaws."
Uncannily both of my PBP games seem to be fizzling at the same time. I can only imagine the characters pulling their cloaks around their shoulders and shivering in a cold, black, void... wondering what happened to reality...

Though the game seems to have fizzled out, I'd like to say Thank you to Neumie for DMing a very fun game. Your efforts are very much appreciated. Everyone, it was a blast and an honor. Thank you.

"Oooh, I want to try it! Do you have some wine, Polla?"
(If she does, Natasha fills her cup halfway and listens.)

Jacob pats his coat and clothes like Peter Falk in The Princess Bride, "I'm sure one of us... has it around here... somewhere..."
