Daring Do and The Obsidian Feather

"Alright, Bloodhound, I accept your help. Name your price, and we'll begin," you say, extending a hoof.

Bloodhound grasps it in his talon and gives it a hearty shake. "Smart answer. My price is a mere fifty bits, but I might lower it if I get my revenge."

"Make it forty, and you've got a deal," you say.

"Deal," he says. He moves to the map. He picks it up and carefully feels it with his talons. "Yeah, I think I can work with this. We griffons have sharp senses of smell. If I can get the unique scent of this map, I can probably track the other half of it, but it won't be easy. We might have to ask around first to get a lead on its general direction. But of course, that could draw unwanted attention to ourselves. What do you think we should do?"

Good question. What should you do?

Ask around, it's faster.

Play it safe and go by scent.
