Questing for an address...

I really hate to bring private correspondence into this, but some poor sod sent me the following:

This address looks kinda weird, doesn't it? And sure enough, it bounced. "Darren", where are you?

To bring _something_ of interest to this posting, I thought I might reply to Martin:

In Growing Pains (shameless plug) the priests who might send the PCs on a quest each tell a little story about previous questors who have walked the path in question. This information contains a lot of unstated assumptions, and is not 100% correct in any case (one story is really about a _similar_ quest done by someone in a foreign country, and if you take the Trickster's tale at face value you deserve anything and everything you get...).
