I-- I am afraid I do not understand this.

I was merely on the way back to the campside. How did I get here? I must still be in the City, for this is unlike any place on Middle Earth I am familiar with, but where is this?

[A pause. The sound of an arrow being released from a bow and the grunt of someone- or something? Footsteps, almost too light

Darkness? That would suggest the Underground.

[andmybow]

I do not wish to remain under ground, if this is truly where my steps have led me. Could you perhaps be so kind and point out the way to the forest?

[banditfox]

It's not outside the realm of possibility, provided I can determine where in the Underground you happen to be.

[andmybow]

Unfortunately, I am not able to recognise or establish my whereabouts. This area is entirely unknown to me.

[banditfox]

It isn't unknown to me.

[andmybow]

Shall I search for a distinct landmark and describe it to you, then?

[banditfox]

If you like. It's difficult to track someone without a starting point.

[andmybow]

I find myself near a building of the name club automatica, though I am not knowledgeable what kind of purpose it fulfils.

[banditfox]

Nothing considered wholesome in most societies. There are paths from there to the City proper, though I can't say any of them are entirely safe.

[andmybow]

I am capable of defending myself.

[banditfox]

As are many residents of the City, but we cannot all defend against everything.

[andmybow]

A truthful argument. I am, however, certain that if no dangers other than the creatures I already content with in my current position await me, I will not find the defense of my person difficult.

[banditfox]

Indeed.

[andmybow]

I would be grateful for a description of the paths you mentioned.

[banditfox]

Are you certain you can follow them?

[OOC: Because I have no idea what the landmarks would be. :-D]

[andmybow]

I was certain I could find my way to the campsite without any problem arising. I will attempt to follow your descriptions, but it remains to be seen whether whatever strange circumstance led me here will allow for me to leave.
