[HQ Ignorance] at the Blue Moon plateau

[Nic Hughes]

The lunar wizard looked up at the mighty cliffs and picked up a rough 
rock in his hand, seemingly amused "One day the shimmering walls of 
Glamour will be like this. Blue moon, Red moon, this is how they end."

He squints as he looks back up towards the plateau, still muttering as 
much to himself as to his companion "So it has fallen to earth but it is 
still moon-stuff. Perhaps that is why they say its very nature is poison 
to the likes of you and me, normal folk are not supposed to walk on the 
moon and parts of those rocks might still remember what they are. Maybe 
that power would not harm me, maybe it would but I doubt if you would 
have any luck with it so the trick will be to avoid the worst of it."

He takes out his maps and begins to look from them to the scene in front 
of him and back

"So we have two ways to find this great devotee of the Blue Moon. We can 
go in as normal folk and take the risks of the plateau and ask the 
locals where we can find him. Or we can follow the heroquest path onto 
the moon and seek out its champion.

If we had a congregation praying for our success I might think that the 
heroquest path was the best way. But we don't. So I guess we go in the 
way of traders and diplomats rather than the way of the heroes of 
legends. If this is stuff of the moon then I have the eyes to see it, to 
find a way between the places of power and danger. Then there is always 
trade, the empire will trade with anyone and anything and where there is 
trade there are trade routes - although not always easy ones.  So now I 
have their map and its just the same old story as the rest of my life, 
find a way in to deliver the message and hope we get out again without 
having our vitals eaten. If I am distracted by my moon-sight trying to 
avoid the lunar power that makes the plateau poison then I might need 
you to look out for spirits and stuff. So let's try that and if we 
cannot make it through maybe we will have to enter as heroes after all."

OOC: Some combination of Moon Eye, Assess Quickest Route and Map of 
Northern Peloria. Either of the first two might be the active ability 
depending on exactly what the main challenge is.
