Trogli Day 22 - Steaming Death and Crystal Descent

 

Trogli was fixing Steam Vents to make travelling safe and got the timing wrong and was steamed like a pudding. With no spare kit he ran to recover his urn without encountering any enemies.

Trogli made his way towards the indicated map location and discovered an Orc Camp.

Skirting round the Orc Camp he discovered the Mine Hoist down to the Crystal Descent.

Trogli restored the Mapstone near the Hoist and the words of Folflorin came flooding back. Don't forget to FIND a Mapstone after you have BUILT one. Noooooooooooooooooooooo! He would have to walk all the way back to the Elven Quarter.

Trogli restored the Rune Table ...

... but didn't have the gems handy.

He checked out Loni's chest hoping it would contain some useful gems after he crafted the key.

Trogli Day 20, 21 - Mapstone & Durin's Highway

 

Trogli took his single Black Diamond back to the Western Halls collecting as he went.

He restored the Mapstone in Ori's camp ...

... and promptly deconstructed it, taking the components to his Elven Quarter Camp and ... 

... rebuilt it there. Now he just needs another Mapstone to travel between.

With another batch of Lembas in the Oven ..

... he made the long journey back to the Mines of Moria and finally found Durin's Highway blocked.

A bit more adventuring and Spider extermination later ..

... he found another Ranger Journal Page, just 1 to go.
