he is looking for a new zoo

seemed to be interested in the
money; my reason was to field-
test my latest inventions.
Once into the Steamfont
Mountains, I produced the
first of my new toys, a
portable location detection
unit. I call it a COMPASS,

her way anywhere. The design
is quite simple. Taking a
pie tin, I filled it with a
flask of water. After
running a static orb over an
old skewer, I stuck the
skewer into a cork and
placed it in the pie tin.

Journal Note: Transvin
suggested a new device, a
MECHANICAL LOCKPICK.
I think this could be
accomplished quite easily.
Materials to try - lockpicks,
gears, sprockets. Perhaps a
rat ear, for use in the
amplification of the sound.
Must try to make one when we
return.

As night approached, I
brought out my FLAMELESS
TORCH. Yet another simple
device I am surprised nobody
else thought of. Taking a
large lantern, I removed the
regular fuel system and
replaced it with a flask of
firewater. Wrapping it with
metal twine produces a
gentle light, as the heat

from the firewater causes
the twine to glow.
Our hunting party was very
appreciative.
As we approached the minotaur
settlement, our warriors
unstrung their bows.
Jarnikiv, Master Fletcher,
had provided us with a new
type of composite bow, one

using CAMS. The gears and
gnomish bolts, once greased,
gave our composite bows
range superior to our old
recurve bows. With these
ready we crept stealthily
through the night. Transvin,
scouting ahead, reported the
far-off sound of minotaur
singing.
