Having completed our construction activities in sub-zero temperatures today, Brian and I are now thawing out and putting some time into deciphering Barbaras' riddle..   Brian's come up w/what I think is a pretty solid hypothesis:

The 5 points Barbaras refers to is/may be a Pentagram (also note his last comment regarding "[making] the right connections".

W/that theory in mind, we have a couple possibilities -

Possibility #1 -

1st Point - obvious - the Pilrgim's Rest
2nd Point - The Most Likely place --> If you draw from the PR to the uppermost point of the pentagram, a few buildings seem like likely targets:  Bldg 25 & the cluster of buildings just South of the N Gate (can't access the Arret site atm).
3rd Point - The Least Likely place --> Next point in the pentagram, the 'SW' point could be the Water Tower (61)
4th Point - The Impossible --> This one may be a bit more difficult.  Following the drawing, this could be the fountain/well East of Bldg #25.
5th point - The Only Place Left --> Something W of the fountain - Bldg 25 or the long N/S running building W of Bldg 25 (again, the Arret site is down - going off of a very small graphic on my brother's PDA.

Possibility #2 -

1st Point - obvious - the Pilrgim's Rest
2nd Point - The Most Likely place --> Bldg 25 or something W of it (eg. the long N/S running bldg - which I think may be the stables.
3rd Point - The Least Likely place --> Fountain / Well E of Bldg 25
4th Point - The Impossible -->  Water Tower (61)
5th point - The Only Place Left --> Something Far North (uppermost point of the pentagram) eg. cluster of buildings just S of the N Gate..

I think this is a pretty solid theory.  As we're not sure how much time may elapse between fires, it may not be a bad idea for us to split up and put eyes on each of these targets.

Here's what Brian and I recommend (in chronological order) ->

Split Up -
1)  All but Caylin and Garyn assist w/the fire / primary search of Pilgrim's Rest.
2)  Garyn and  Caylin make up Team Alpha (hehe) & head for the next plausible fire (one of the two Point two's from above).  Find a hide site - and keep an eye out for Barbaras.
3)  Once we've assisted w/the fire / search-rescue at Pilgrims (keeping lookout for Barbaras), Dom and I can team up (Team Delta) and gather information, find out what the different map points in question are, acquire lodging, and move out to point five to get an idea of a decent hide site come time
4)  Aine & Thomas (Team Bravo) move out to Point Three - gather info, find a hide site for when it's time - meet back at the inn (where we acquire lodging)
5)  Asher & Tot (Team Charlie) move out to Point Four, gather info, find a hide site, etc -> meet back at the inn..

The teams we tentatively created provide a good balance of recon skills (eg. Spot, Listen, Move Silently, Hide, one party w/Low-light vision,etc).  Anyway - this looks like the best available plan of action that we have atm..   Vil and Asher vote to give this a try (at least until we have more info/2nd fire erupts) - we can re-evaluate the plan & make any necessary adjustments at that time...

Any other thoughts from the Team???

V & A

I forgot to mention this earlier - Asher's theory regarding the "the most likely place" -> perhaps the home of the person(s) that interned Barbaras, City Hall, a Jail, etc.  (hence the focus on bldg 25, etc).  Hopefully our little gather info attempts will produce some additional clues about the buildings in question

I like the theory.  I connected the dots slightly differently...

Going along the same lines, I think a case could be made for building 13 as the most likely place since this appears (w/o knowing) to be the place of where the burgeromaster might reside.

I like the water tower as the least likely place--although this could potentally disrupt the towns water supply.

The impossible is more difficult--I like the idea of the water tower but it seems too close to either 25 or 13.  We need more detail on the buildings to the east.

I put the "only place left" to mean something to the west--maybe building 15?
