When Used

• Without a Knob Goblin encryption key in your inventory:

You try to decipher the map, but you can't read the legend. You might say that your failure to read the legend is a failure of legendary proportions. Or you might not say that. What you might do instead is keep looking around Cobb's Knob for some clue as to how to decrypt this stupid thing so you can get on with your quest. Because, y'know, it's a quest of legendary proportions.

• With a Knob Goblin encryption key in your inventory:

With the map in one hand and the encryption key in the other, you do two things. The first is that you decode the map and figure out where the back entrance to Cobb's Knob is, and the second is that you find yourself wishing you had a third hand, so you could enjoy a tasty glass of ice-cold lemonade while you're doing the first thing -- reading maps is hard work! You memorize the location of the door, then eat both the map and the encryption key. For no particular reason, really, it just seemed like a cool spy thing to do.

• With a Knob Goblin encryption key in your inventory as Actually Ed the Undying:

With the map in one hand and the encryption key in the other, you do two things. The first is that you decode the map and figure out where the back entrance to Cobb's Knob is, and the second is that you find yourself wishing you had a third hand, so you could enjoy a tasty glass of ice-cold lemonade while you're doing the first thing -- reading maps is hard work! You memorize the location of the door, then eat both the map and the encryption key. For no particular reason, really, it just seemed like a cool spy thing to do. Cool spies usually have functioning GI tracts though, so you're regretting the move almost immediately.
