You wander through the desert, completely lost and rapidly losing precious bodily fluids. Finally, you stop and sit down.
"Screw this," you think, "I'm an Adventurer, for crying out loud! We're renowned for our direction sense!"
You close your eyes and concentrate on picturing yourself on a map of your surroundings. You imagine a big map in front of you stuck in a post on the ground. It shows a vast expanse of featureless desert -- so vast, in fact, that it takes up the entire surface of the map. There's a compass rose at the bottom, and a little X with "you are here" written above it in the center of the map.
You stare for a while at the beige rectangle with the X in the middle of it, then walk off again, feeling your confidence in your mental navigation skills slip just a little.
 | You acquire an effect: Prestidigysfunction (duration: 5 Adventures) |
Occurred at The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert (Dehydrated).
Notes
- The effect is now applied randomly while adventuring in a non-fully explored The Arid, Extra-Dry Desert without Ultrahydrated.
References
- The title is a famous Bugs Bunny quote.
- The line "I'm an Adventurer, for crying out loud! We're renowned for our direction sense!" may be a reference to Radu the Andromedan from the TV series Space Cases, who similarly bragged that his people were "renowned for our direction sense".
- The term "precious bodily fluids" is a reference to the movie Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb; the phrase is used by the mad airbase commander General Jack D. Ripper.
