Geocache Description:


I don't run away from a challenge because I am afraid. Instead, I run towards it because the only way to escape fear is to trample it beneath your foot

Foresneb the Tird

The Commission Of Array

The Hound Of Haste

 

Foresneb was being hotly pursued. 

At the moment, right now, he needed to veer away from a run in with the Array.   Where was Beagle?  No time to search for him -  again.   The time is near for a leash.   Need to keep the old dog from wandering off like this all the time.   Foresneb sprinted for the nearest exit.  Quite impressive as it been several decades since he sprinted anywhere.

Beagle seeing Foresneb running away and darting into the shadows became anxious.    This is so unlike Foresneb.  Was he actually sprinting.  Something must be wrong.  Foresneb never sprints.

He howled with concern.

Foresneb heard Beagle howling.  He could not go back nor wait.    He needed to get a message to him.   The common tongue was not going to be effective in this.    He scribbled a note and made a quick calculation.

Foresneb untypically interrupted a local and handed him the note.   If you please dear sir when you come across that howling hound in the distance can you ask him to make haste for

 minutes

in the indicated X Direction - this will get him to the Place.   Yes he will understand, no he will not bite, yes you may give him a treat and a scratch behind the ears.   Why the cryptic instructions, its not cryptic, its High Tirdinian,  Whats that you ask, next time you meet some geocachers they can explain.   Gotta go. Thanks for your help.
