Well lets look next door, I know there is this noble lady with more money than sense... I really need to raise some money to buy that prospectors amulet which should be useful if we need to go exploring.
JFC this lady is dumb, she just gave me 6!!! sapphires and a pair of gold rings. This should be more than enough to be able to buy the amulet and have change left over.
Now finally lets go to the compound and get this map sold.
This seems like a tremendously bad idea that will come and bite you in the rear end later. How many days before you have a dozen heavily armed and humorless guards slapping you in irons for it?
