Ethan grumbles slightly as he reads the map the 'nth time and still has no damned idea which route was the route leading to the town. [color=tan]"Tsk...I can't find no rhyme or reason of this blasted map!"[/color] He let out a sigh while lightly pinching the bridge of his nose, he had already traveled on this small dirt road for almost an hour. The trip back to the town and asking for which road he was supposed to take was the most logical way to deal with this dilemma, but then again the dirt road did continue on through the forest and then again maybe the grass was just over grown in the fields...

Swallowing his pride, he turns around and begins his embarrassing walk back to Frontier Town. Better his pride broken, rather than his body. It took another hour and a half for Ethan to arrive back into town. Almost hesitantly, he approaches the door leading to the inn and, most likely, Sips. Seeing the halfling proprietor working he approaches closer to the smaller male, hat pressed against his chest and had a look that said 'I got lost and didn't know what to do' on his face. [color=tan]"Pardon, sire. I apologize for returning empty handed...but the map you gave me must be mistaken."[/color] He presents the map to Sips. [color=tan]"Around here on the map..."[/color] he points to the road past the bend in the mountain. [color=tan]"...there was actually a diverging path that lead to a dense forest and a plain of tall grass. I-I'm not sure if the map is mistaken or I was the one mistaken, but I have no clue which road should I traverse."[/color] He scratches the back of his head sheepishly and let out a light but uneasy chuckle. [color=tan]"I was hoping you could tell me the right path or any other directions..."[/color]
