Re: The Misadventures of the Missed Adventurers
After walking for a while, the group comes across a very orderly cobblestone road that looks freshly put down, which appears to head towards the town.
Jack "That's odd; how did this road survive all the changes?"
Jack looks at the road more closely.
Jack "Ahh, I get it - natural magic. Some of the more skilled craftsmen have it without knowing it. In the case of cobblestones, it shows up as an enchantment on the stones that keeps them in place; that enchantment must have doubled as a stabilizer while things were shifting. Interesting."
D "Yes, but the real interesting question is why someone went to the trouble of building a cobblestone road outside of town."
Jack "There may have been a town here at the time. Remember Arthur's house?"
D "You have a point. Still though, cobbles are usually only put down in wealthier neighborhoods; perhaps this was the route to the local manor?"
Jack "That would make for a good road to have bandits on, what with the tax money and merchants and all, wouldn't it?"
D "It might. Of course, it would be routinly patrolled by the local lord's knights to prevent that."
Jack "Yes, but with all the confusion, some strange things might happen. Ah well, we shall see."
