Idle Pathfinders are Pathfinders needing work. Having a bit of downtime is no excuse to
sit around and let our skills lapse! So I have come up with a training exercise for you and a
few others waiting around the Grand Lodge for a job. I trust you are familiar with the Red
Redoubt? If not, for shame! It’s an important part of Absalom’s history. You might want to
spend a few minutes researching it before heading out. While it is technically a “cleared” ruin,
it’s a perfect location to test your skills.
Another team has spent the last few days practicing their own dungeoneering skills by
establishing an obstacle course in the Redoubt’s upper levels. Now it’s up to you to go and see
how well they’ve done. The course follows a specific path—if you come across a symbol of three
red dots inside a triangle, that means “do not enter.” Don’t go wandering—I do not want to
send a third team to find you if you get lost. Otherwise, your response to the challenge is up
to you. Bring your own gear, make your own plans, solve the puzzles, and bypass the traps.
You’ll know when you reach the finish line. I’d wish you good luck, but skilled Pathfinders
don’t need luck.
I trust you’ll impress us,
Venture-Captain Ambrus Valsin
