As part of the first puzzle of Orolunga, Locke jumps 16ft, which is slightly more than Ash could.
“What is the location of the Soul Mongerer?”
The Soul Mongerer lays entombed beneath the forbidden city of Omu. 90 miles south, 30 miles east, 100ft beneath the surface.
“Where is Artus Cimber now?”
Artus Cimber has been captured by a red dragon: 100 miles south, 25 miles west
“Where is the real lost city of Mezro”
