You go into the alley and notice he's gone. He most likely heard the first part, as the whole of Mechcity did, but he didn't care, also like the whole of Mechcity.

You look around the docks for a while but find nothing out of the ordinary besides some piles of dropped rusty gear. Figures, considering the dude was invisible. Do you keep looking or head off somewhere?

I turn out of the alley and head back toward the shop where he gave me the map.

I'm going to be gone until Sunday. Just a heads up.

You go out from the docks into the NPC shop and park district, and look for about an hour there to no avail. A thought dawns on you that maybe he placed it in Lavendera, or took a passage to another part of Mechcity. With that you keep looking, but still without leads.

You re-enter the shop, and go to the shelf of pamphlets he was at. It's just full of basic maps and shop maps, detailing the locations of specific types of shops. There are a couple rows with pamphlets removed; The general map row, the necklace map row, and the clan map row.

I turn toward the NPC, "Excuse me, do you happen to know the name of the swordsman who handed me those maps earlier?"

You walk east for a while toward the Lavendera bridge. You pass over and enter the wasteland. You begin to walk around for a bit, before tripping over something. After brushing yourself off, you check the spot where you tripped. Nothing's there at first glance, but when you feel with your hands you can make out a knotted rope or something similar.

An automated message replies, "Sorry, the NPCs of TOME do not keep records on players. You may consult a librarian, or request a moderator's assistance." The mage in the shop from earlier chuckles. "The fool does not know, nor does it know how to learn. Your friend has made his past adventure private. You would need the less accessible of the two options."

In case you're curious, I was on a youth retreat, which was immediately followed by the process of moving.

You begin to untie it, but end up ripping it from the ground. Now that you feel roots, you infer that it's grass, braided and knotted.

You leave and aimlessly wander, looking for a moderator. You stop and remember the list of online mods and chat mods. You look up and see that there is a moderator and two chatmods here in Mechcity. The description of the moderator fits that of the mage who was just in that help center with you...

I walk to the direction of the knotted grass.

You shuffle your feet for a while and find that the knotted grass is in a semi-circle around a cliff. After a quick walk over, you find that you can't see a stash. Figures. You walk around stupidly with your hands in front of you and still find nothing. What now?

(At first i was, "Meh, just do a simple search for a little while." Then i became "Let's hunt the treasure.&quot

(The semi-circle is formed by the knotted grass, or something?)

I wonder if the stash is somehow invisible. I try going to the center of the circle and feel stuff, and maybe a pit.
