    You say, 'Hail, Banty Bourdizzle'

    Banty Bourdizzle says 'I was hoping you would come over here. Was I staring too much? Oh, I'm sorry, I can be so rude. I assure you it's unintentional. It's just that I am working on some very [important enterprises] that need the help from outsiders in order to come to fruition.'

    You say, 'What important enterprises?'

    Banty Bourdizzle says 'Oh I just knew you'd be interested! This is wonderful. . . wonderful indeed. The research I'm doing here is paramount. The others can't [comprehend its importance], but you seem like someone who can [appreciate the gravity] of the situation.'

    You say, 'I can appreciate the gravity.'

    Banty Bourdizzle says 'Yes, it is somewhat ironic that gravity is part of the problem I am faced with. You see, in order to create a perfect map of the area I would have to either be a million times taller than I currently am, or be able to fly. Fortunately I'm not that tall, and unfortunately I can't fly. . . yet. What I need is [independent data]. You see if I get data from as many independent sources as possible, I can factor out the inconsistencies in the data to reveal the true shape of the land that we're standing on without actually having to see it first hand.'

    You say, 'What independent data?'

    You have been assigned the task 'Cartographical Nightmare'.

    Banty Bourdizzle says 'So you would like to help me collect the mapping data? Good. Here, I'll mark your journal with the areas you will need to chart. I look forward to hearing back from you when you're done.'

    Can paste these into map file.
    I did not bother with elevation. For the 2 over water you need to be at water level instead of floating above to get the updates.
