"Which way do you reckon I should ride? The lakes lie in this manner," Woof makes the points in the air, "so they describe a circle roughly centered here," he indicates. "So, you think I should head back the way we came or head out in that direction?" he asks pointing one way. P2GM: I can't remember the lay of the land. Woof would. What he is doing is trying to determine, with Jezebel's help, in what direction he thinks would be the shortest distance out of the white noise generator sphere... Just roll dice if you want, and Woof heads that direction...and he'll try calling periodically, both the ship and the ranch. "Good luck, and be careful!" Woof calls, as he rides out hard... Woof
