451 – The Dirt Whisperer

The theory I have about Dhur's ability to navigate is this: his ability to get around is inversely proportional to how large of an area he has to plot a course through. If we are talking about Dhur having to follow a trail, track someone, or otherwise get someplace on foot with little information, he is the half-orc for the job. However, when you zoom the camera out and have him examine a larger area (with, say, a map) mistakes will happen. Essentially, Dhur put the bare minimum amount of ranks in Survival, saving those skill points for Craft (knitting).

Take care,
