Erik:
Darius switched the geographic map with the topographical map on the table, and rolled up the geographical map.
"Topographical maps." Darius finished for Erik. "They show the terrain and character of Sudovia. We've always been a mountain people, however some places are higher than others. He pointed to some brown lines on the near the Sangmir Graveyard. "These are known as contour lines, they show the elevation of the terrain. In this instance the lines are marked with the elevation of the terrain on the lines, as is with this one."
"This one says 90 feet in elevation, meaning there is a hill, but the graveyard itself is on flat land. What kinds of tactics does one use on hills? Back when I still took to the field, It was easier to take on enemies one-by-one on such terrain. Vampires can still get tired. The higher north. or northeast you go in Sudovia, the higher the elevation gets." He pointed to the mountainous region Erik supposedly came from. Up here the elevation can get up to 3200 feet. The tallest mountain, Mt. Evias, reaches 7200 feet. Contour lines that show mountains usually encircle themselves in areas where mountains are located. Some maps have a color scale that denotes elevation. This one does not."
Darius pointed to the scale of the map. "Every inch is roughly 300 feet on this map. Therefore Pragaras is roughly 1200 feet southwest, but going up a fairly steep hill. Each topographical map is oriented so that true north is always on the top part of the page. That's about the gist of them. Some of these maps are inaccurate, but this one is fairly accurate. Fairly useful maps for us, yeah?" He opened a trap door going up to the roof. "Try to get your immediate surroundings while you are at it, you might see something." Darius said with a smile. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Vyras and Sakura:
Vyras was easily able to guess that Sakura wanted tea. "I've got a kettle of tea on the fire in the kitchen. Sudovian tea isn't the best. I hear that the Bushi teas have great aroma, and taste though. Since you are taking over my position as a teacher, It falls on me to fill you in on where the students are at currently, and which students you will be responsible for. I brought the textbook I'm teaching out of, paper denoting which page we are on, and I'll tell you which techniques, combat arts, and tactics we've been studying." "All of which we can discuss over a cup of tea. This tea is spicy apple blend. Vyras said with a wink. " Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:
The goblins led them up the on for five minutes until They came across a
a circular built yurt with a hastily cobbled-together lattice wall, and a cone-shaped oaken roof that looked slightly flattened. The building was not constructed well, but it stood sturdy against a chilly slight breeze coming from somewhere in the expansive cavern.
"Aegvar nidvir." The goblin escort said, then he stopped outside the yurt. Belar knew what he said. 'Aegar Nidvir meant "wise woman" in the the oldest form of drowish. So they know ancient drowish. Belar thought. It was a shame. Belar had a book on ancient drowish. Ancient phrases and such, and yet, she left it in her room. It frustrated her. Modern drowish is actually easier than ancient drowish in terms of pronunciation. And though Belar had an idea of what the goblin was saying, she had very little experience in communicating in ancient drowish.
"Nidvelar Librarinaeith?" Belar said, asking for the library in modern drowish. The goblin gave no response.
Belar spoke to Annie.
"They speak ancient drowish. I can translate with much difficulty. I think they want us to talk with the wise woman here. 'Aegvar Nidvir' roughly translates to "wise woman" and they wouldn't lead us up here without reason." Belar advised. Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!

Annie:
To go in without knocking? Belar thought to herself. T oo rude, every culture takes offense to walking in without letting them know they are being visited. "It is likely that she expects us, but I wouldn't go in without knocking. I don't want to offend them." Belar cautiously walked up to the yurt entrance, and smiled a friendly smile. It was important to seem friendly, Belar decided. "Knic-knic" Belar said the modern drowish phrase for "knock-knock." She had no idea what to expect from the wise woman.

Brandr:
Brandr stood guard at the entrance to the cavern. He had his long mace out, and his helmet off. He was an imposing figure to the youth gathered around him. Apparently the youth were excited to gain practical experience, as one muscular blonde-haired youth brazenly tried pushing his way past him. Brandr stood firm as a boulder on flat ground at the young 16 year old trying to force his way through. "Sorry, Brandr can't let you through."
"Ah man! We can't go in there?" he said. Brandr nodded. "Diplomacy, lad, it is still a thing, even in this lawless country. It's likely a good thing they try it first before something bad happens."
"We can bum-rush our way past." A young woman with brown braided hair said. "True lass, you probably could, but once you get through, then what? You have no idea what's in there. Do you think I like guarding this entrance? Brandr already drank his battle-brew. My blood boils and wants to kill; but Brandr promised Belar not to let you guys through until either a solution was met, or their heads were sent back to us as a warning. Brandr said with a grimace. His bloodshot eyes were intimidating the other students.
"Y-You made a deal with the pre-vampire?" A male student asked Brandr incredulously. Brandr was furious. "Stop calling her that!" Brandr snapped. "She has proven her loyalty over and over, and yet you refuse to see it. To say nothing of the fact that she is the adopted daughter of the old man you all aspire to be. It's disrespectful not just to her, but to Vyras, who by the way is retiring tonight. You do want the day of his retirement to be met with no worry yes?" Brandr asked rhetorically.
"If Vyras wants to have a day without worry, you shouldn't have let her in there," The same student said. "It was her choice," Brandr said, "And honestly, Brandr sees nothing wrong with it as long as the two keep their wits about them. Vyras doesn't even know. Perhaps he should, Anyone want to let the old man know?" Just your friendly neighborhood gay boy!
