Shalash & SteelRaven
Shalash
Hey, ever found a trail that the maps say shouldn't exist, but the wind keeps pushing you straight toward it? I hit a ridge that vanished a minute after we got there—kept it quiet at first, but curiosity always does its own thing.
SteelRaven
Yeah, I've been there. The maps sometimes get their own agenda. A ridge can pop out of the world for a second if the ground's shifting or a hidden slide takes it. The wind is a pretty reliable guide, but it can also be a trickster. Keep your bearings, check for any signs of a sudden change, and let curiosity lead—but always with a healthy dose of skepticism.
Shalash
Sure, but I’d never let the wind be the only compass. A little caution keeps me from falling into a quicksand trap. That’s the only way to stay alive out here.
SteelRaven
Caution's a good friend, especially when the ground’s as fickle as a bad omen. Quick sand is a slow‑moving trap, and if the wind’s trying to lead you somewhere, I’d cross-check the slope, feel the soil, and keep a line of sight to the ridge. Stay on guard, but don't let skepticism turn into a wall that blocks the path forward.
Shalash
Sounds solid, but I’ll keep the sense of adventure alive. If the wind’s whispering something off the map, I’ll follow it but keep my boots on the ground. That’s how I find the next ridge before it disappears again.
SteelRaven
A sensible plan—listen to the wind, but treat it like a rumor you want to verify. Keep a log of what you observe, mark the ridge’s coordinates, and if it disappears, at least you’ll know exactly where to look next. Stay curious, but never let the adventure blind you to the plain facts.
Shalash
Sounds like a good check‑list—log it, mark it, then when the ridge goes missing, you’ll know where to dig next. Just remember, even the best log can’t replace the feel of the ground underfoot. Keep that instinct alive.
SteelRaven
You're right, the ground's still the only honest judge. Logs are helpful, but there's nothing like the feel of a rock under your boot to tell if it's solid or just a mirage. Keep that instinct sharp—it's the one thing that never gets tricked by a map.
