Erin gave a nod, half in acknowledgment, half in respect of the money and walked over, looking at the map one more time as she pocketed the coins.  "Well, what I know," she said, "Is I saw this one back in Azaiba.  Sometimes it was carved into a tree, but usually it was on a door to some building no one ever wanted to go in."  She paused and scrunched up her face in thought. "Actually, thinking about it, the trees were outside those places kinds of places, too.  Anyhow, I never went in myself.  I'm not stupid.  But rumor was that if you did go in, there was a symbol like this on the ground, usually covered up by something.  And usually a geode or some sort of stone like that.  Lapis was supposed to be common, too.  Don't ask me why.  Maybe it was just any sort of gemstone.  But anyhow, apparently the place was usually a hidden mine of some sort, but anyone who went in there... Well, they came out different.  Weird.  You know, just kind of, different."<br/><br/>She stopped suddenly and looked towards the stairs where the time-man had just disappeared.  "Maybe there's something to your map after all."  She goes on looking up the stairs, then shrugs a bit.  "Anyhow, if you go there, I wouldn't suggest going inside if you do."
