Description summary:
The description varies based on your level of Lead: Cartography.
Lead: Cartography | Description |
---|---|
431 | Armed only with Hathersage's Western Follies you sally forth […] you take in […] the lesser-known sights of Hell: the Waste of Fingers, the Trenches of Need, the shrine which has no name but belches forth a continuous spray of vitriolic irrogo-hued liquid. |
432 | You compile the most likely maps into a single source, allowing for variation [...]. Hell's hinterlands are criss-crossed with old pilgrim roads. [...] Competition for shrines? Or did different saints of Hell disagree more completely upon their creed? |
433 | According to Lilliwick's Forbidden Phantasies one need not walk through the hinterlands. All one requires is a candle and a pane of glass. When you come to, your head still rings [...]. It was not Hell as it is now, and perhaps not as it ever was. [...] |
434 | Revelation strikes as you pen your final annotation to your copy of the most accurate of your maps. The hinterlands continue west. [...] The revelation is enough to fuel further chapters, and better yet, requires you need not leave the [...] Reading Room. |

Failure
The perils of fieldwork
When you return to your library, you must remember to consign half of your volumes to the flames. Of course, you must put yourself out first. […] And remember to offer thanks to Saint Trezigor at the Broken Gate […] It is a long long walk back to Jericho.
