- As you enter the
musty smelling chamber, you see little. The light from the flickering
candles is poor, and the air reeks of odors better left undescribed.
Seated at a desk against the far wall is a huddled figure...an
ancient little man wrapped in several layers of clothing, his
fingers tracing unknown words along crackling parchment.
-
- "Ah, another
treasure seeker I dare say! All eager and anxious! Many look,
my young friend, but few find! Well, there's little left here
worth the taking. The King's constant wars against his two great
enemies, Ignorance and Apathy, have used up most of our resources.
-
- H-m-m-m-m-m-m......Still,
there may be something.....Here in this chest are dozens of riddles
to as yet undiscovered, and thus, unknown, treasures. Who knows
what they lead to? No one has been able to make heads or tales
of the directions thus far.
-
- Here, take this
one. Perhaps you can unravel the mystery
where all others have failed."
-
- The gnome-like
being hands you a rolled scroll. As you carefully unfurl the
stiff parchment, your eyes widen in disbelief as the words take
shape before you. This isn't going to be easy...but for TREASURE,
you're willing to try!
