[Sharp]: *looks @ the map*
It's of the graveyard...

[Anole]: Lets follow it.

[Sharp]: (To Anole): "Well, that seems a might useful."
*(a lttle comically) Goes & thanks the knocked over (& now headless), 'guard'*
(to Anole): "Well, I think they made the statue 'ugly' & fearsome-ish, so that people wouldn't bother to check under it..."

*shrugs*

[Sharp]: ""
The path winds around a series of 'uglies' that're all apparently part of the same collection...
"Must be a section of the graveyard where a family of stone-masons were buried, eh?"

[Anole]: Can't dig up dead people, but they can dig themselves up.

[Sharp]: "Hey, is that a ? He looks kinda sad."
*looks @ a kind of see-through mason.*
[Mason]: "What'd you hafta go and break my statue for?"
[Sharp]: "I'm "
[The ]: "Well,-It was rather ugly..."

[Anole] gives the ghost a shiny silver coin*
For your troubles.

[Sharp]: (To the ): "Well, in any case, thanks for the map!"
[]: "You're welcome"
*fades away & disappears*

[Anole]: Well.... that was interesting.

[Sharp]: "Hey, Anole...How come that ... nevermind."

[Anole]: Money and shiny things soothe the dead.

[Sharp]: "Where are we, (on the map) anyway?"
It must be an enchanted 1, because soon after Sharp has scarcely finished saying that,
*A yellow set of lines (as though it were being from somewhere drawn-invisibly), shows them the course of their path so far.*

[Anole]: Follow the ...yellow .....line?

[Sharp]: Oh.
From the place where the mason was before...A faint little can be heard (though not an evil-one)...

[Anole]: Great a laughing ghost.

[Sharp]: "I see..."
*the spot where the was is laughing a bit harder*
[]: *(invisibly)*
[Sharp]: "The yellow lines are where we've been, red ones must be spots to avoid, & the blue ones...I don't know. But these green ones...are probably where we're s'pposed to go ahead."
[A different ]: *materializes*
"Duh."
It looks 'younger than the first one, but is 'dressed' similar.
[Sharp]: (to Anole): "He must've been the mason's apprentice."

[Sharp]: (mutters to Anole): "Well, @ least he was a polite one..."

[Anole]:

[Sharp]: (to the apprentice ): "Can you explain,-to me & him, what the blue-lines are about?"
[]: "..."
*disappears...*
