[Yule Game] Scavenger Hunt

Post by Petunia »

Fenia is excited to announce a Yule Scavenger Hunt.

Hidden around the woods of Fenia are a number of little wooden chests of various sizes, each of which contain an item. The items include foodstuffs like stews, klahua cakes, shepherd pies etc. (best find them soon, though as it's so cold they actually won't go off, of course!), varying amounts of freznics, large golems, and even a ruby.

Each day, starting from now, you can choose and uncover one spot. How?, you might be asking. Well that's easy. Once a day you may choose a spot on the grid below to search, by giving the co-ordinates (eg F-8). It’s up to you exactly how you search the area, whether you dig beneath the snow or rootle around behind bushes and trees, or come across a hut or well - basically wherever there seems to be a good hiding place. If you are successful, you’ll discover a prize. If not, you get nothing that day, of course, and have to wait until the following day. Remember to check first whether anybody has already searched your chosen spot, especially as the game progresses, otherwise you’ll have wasted a day because only the first person to search a place will find the treasure!

Choose your spot here and then start your search (ideally in RP). That hard lump under the snow could be a chest - or maybe it's just a rock or lump of wood, because that’s life - but you can have a bit of fun and excitement along the way! The following day I shall reveal your find, including an updated map showing the spots dug up and where treasure has been found, and I’ll list the winners and their prizes. Then you choose another spot to search for the next day...and so on.

Keep a keen eye out, good luck and have fun!

Keen on joining in on the scavenger hunt, Ella made her way to the forested area where various treasures and prizes had been scattered and hidden about. Uncertain of where to begin, Ella started by searching some bushes that were clustered together. She brushed her gloved hands over the tops of the snowy branches to both knock down the white fluff and search for any items that might be hidden in the branches.

Word of a hunt had reached TK's ears and he was excited to join in the festivities. As he made his way to P-12 he wondered what would be found.

Nikola thought a scavenger hunt sounded like great fun. So much more than releasing undead creatures from their newly animated existence. So she found the woods where the hunt was to take place and decided to move further into the woods to begin her search at S-8.

Ella told her about the scavenger hunt and then she read the announcement. It sounded like a lot of fun, there would be various prizes so she figured she ought to give these festivities a try. The following day, young witch hurried to the nearby forest and was pleased to see her friends had already joined the hunt. Looking around everything was white with all the snow that had fallen so she wasn't sure where to start her search. She simply walked about for a while, going deeper into the forest when she noticed a lump of sorts (D 9). Whether it was just snow or something more Lavinia couldn't say at first so she crouched down and used magic to slightly melt the snow to ease her search.

Petunia smiled a welcome as a few people started to arrive and begin to search. There wasn't a big crowd, but she waited for a while because, after all, the word would need to get round that there was a chance to find nice prizes. While they were looking in their chosen spots, she arranged for some refreshments to be brought and set up on a table next to her own. Then when they'd finished, she marked up her chart of the area, pinned it up on her board, and then looked round with a bright face.

"Thank you for coming and looking around. Sadly, nobody found anything today, but do keep going - I'm sure you'll find something eventually!" She grinned and waved a hand to her side, to indicate the table containing hot drinks and a few warm pastries. "In the meantime, do help yourselves to something hot, to sustain you in your next search."

Elisa heard about the scavenger hunt and was curious what it was about. she hadn't done one before so she didn't really know what to expect. Was it something you'd have very little luck of finding something? Or would there be somebody finding something soon. She soon picked a spot, clearing snow of the ground to see if there was something hidden underneath it

Foxeon stood still in the woods (A 15), eyes closed. He listened to the whispers of the snowflakes as they landed or as the snow shifted where it'd already settled. He turned to a stillness in the snow and pushed away the snow to see what he'd found.

Izara had heard about the scavenger hunt happening in the woods so of course she had to come and poke around. She knocks on the bark of a tree {B-6}, “Heeeeeelllo? Are there any treats or treasures around you?” She pauses listening for a response. Nothing. She grumbles to herself. Maples. One would think they would have a better temperament considering they produce a sap that is turned into something very sweet.

These bushes held no treasures or clues. With a disappointed sigh, she turned away from them. Maybe she had been going about this the wrong way. There was so much snow everywhere. Maybe she needed to clear some of it and she would find something.

lla removed her gloves and tucked them into the inner pockets of her cloak. The cold air bit at her exposed fingers, but not for long. Her entire hands became alight with magical kitsune fire which was difficult to control in the unpracticed hand. Luckily, Ella had spent the last four years practicing her skills. There would be no more accidents. She threw some of the fire to the ground, letting it creep across the top of the snow. Along the path, the snow melted but the foliage underneath was left unscathed.
