Valenok & Waldo
Waldo
I found an old map in the town's library that’s missing a few sections. The edges are worn, and there’s a faint symbol that changes shape depending on how you look at it. Thought you might want to take a look—maybe we can figure out what it’s pointing to together.
Valenok
Thanks for the find. The edges look tough to work with, but I can get a good look at that strange symbol from a few angles. Let’s see what it points to—maybe it’s a hidden trail or a forgotten spot. I’ll bring a magnifier and we’ll take a closer look.
Waldo
Sounds like a plan, just make sure you’ve got the right light so we can see the subtle differences in the symbol. I’ll keep an eye out for any clues that might give us a hint about where it’s pointing.
Valenok
Got it. I'll bring a good lamp and a reflector so we can wash the map with even light. That way the symbol’s subtle shifts will show up. Keep looking for any worn markings or notes—those might be our clue. Let's get to it.
Waldo
Got it, I'll keep an eye on the faint lines and any other oddities that pop up. Just let me know if anything else catches your eye.
Valenok
Sounds good. I'll have the lamp set up and a close‑up magnifier ready. If that symbol keeps shifting or any faded lines show up, just tell me right away. We'll trace each mark carefully. Keep an eye on anything that feels off.

I spot a faint indentation next to the symbol—looks like someone pressed on it with a thin tool, maybe a compass needle. It’s subtle, but that could be a hint.

Nice catch. That indentation looks like it might be a small compass point or a marking tool. I'll note its angle and see if it lines up with anything else on the map. Keep your eye on any other faint scratches—those might guide us in the same direction.Got it. I'll trace that indentation with a fine needle and see which way it points. If it lines up with the faded lines, that might be the key. Keep an eye on any other tiny marks.Alright, I'll make a careful trace of that indentation and see what direction it suggests. If it lines up with the other faint marks, that could be our clue. Keep watching for anything else that looks out of place.
