Knowledge Kidnappers Quest - Object

(See letter K post for details.)

Mapping Rocks

When rolled onto blank map parchment, they map the surrounding area, including traps, enemies, treasure, and the position of the sun (if your world has one or more). The ten square rocks (known outside the game as 10D6) might land in any shape. You'll see an accurate drawing of whatever is inside that shape.

Roll to determine how far it maps. Your position is always dead-center between the farthest dice.

It takes five minutes for the rocks to draw. It requires half a day to recharge the rocks between use.

The green mark is centered in the above image. The blue lines represent the outline of the shape that would be revealed on a map.
