Imperious Treasure Hunt

[apprenticeAlyce]

Balerion dug another three holes at forest. There was nothing interesting in, but suddenly his clockwork pigeon activated himself: "She. Is. Cheating. Look. At. The. Map."

Alyce blushed in deep shame. "Pure of me! Please, please, forgive me. I didn't noticed the spot. Let me open it for You, sir dragon!"

Actually, at the 19.8 there was next chest of the game. Balerion found there... "tooth freshener". Alyce was curious, what could it be?

The Crystal of coordinates was shining for the last, third time:

...# of row is less than # of column...

Misty found nothing again. Although gentle pat activates her clockwork lizard: "You. Can. Ask. Or. I. Shall. Show. Direction. To. Nearest. Hidden. Chest." And device stared to her, non blinking at all.

Tigerlily found nothing, but small parchment:

	Flat as a leaf Round as a ring Has two eyes But can't see a thing

Alyce smiled. Oh, that last one is everyday thing. Should be not so hard to solve...

"Dear Lily! Would You mind to use Your Crystal, like Balerion just did? An who could bring Morghain's Crystal back to the game? Together with self of her?"

20.12 21.13 22.13

Balerion digs determined to find yet more dirt.

[Misty]

Misty looks at her pet Lizard and gently whispers which direction should I be digging in?

Moving to the next spot before the Lizard answers her Misty digs at...17.32, 16.32, and then trying at 15.32.

She then thinks she might visit her cousin Morghain since she hasn't seen her for awhile.

Balerion found nothing interesting at that spots. But his clockwork bird suddenly became very active, making constant loops around that three tiles, Balerion just dug.

Misty found nothing too. Her clockwork pet was deciding, if it was the question, or she was asking for nearest chest hint. Lizard made few mechanical sounds and then decides to give a hint. Creature climbed onto the Misty's shoulder and beeped something important to her ear.

"I'll translate it to You, dear Misty, in no time!" Alyce was excited, how the game is rolling forward. (* I'm sending a forums PM *)

21.12 22.12 23.13

Balerion scratched a bit north.

[apprenticeAlyce]

Clockwork pet got unlucky...

[Misty]

Listening to what the Lizard beeped into her ear Misty decided to try a whole new approach. Heading North she carefully put her pet on the ground while she dug at 14.26, 13.26 and 13.25.

[tigerlily]

"Flat as a leaf, Round as a ring, Has two eyes and But can't see a thing"

Tigerlily - the Crystal of tile type (3 uses left) - not sure what this is - but yes can use it

Lily dug but didn't find anything except for a parchment ........ Lily guessed coin (pulling out some change, she tossed the coin and picked which way to go.

Lily decided to dig: 17.21, followed by 17.18 and then 20.15

[apprenticeAlyce]

Balerion dug three new spots to the North and found nothing again. His pet bird got unlucky view, all the time pointing to South instead of North...

Alyce was curious, why dragon couldn't USE the clockwork thing? It can give direction hint, an it can answer one question.

Misty walked about six or seven steps to the North. She found nothing at the spots she dug. Lizard was looking to the side of river.

Tigerlily found nothing at new holes too. Alyce hold her breath, when she realized, how close last one was.

"The Crystal needs to be activated, it can show You some things about main prize, three times.

The COIN – it have no eyes. If You do two, You can use coin instead of That Thing from the parchment. Although coins usually have another, better use..."

[Misty]

Bending down to pick up Lizzie the Lizard Misty noticed that it was facing towards the river. Was she thirsty? Or maybe trying to tell me something?
Having nothing to lose Misty heads for the river bank digging as she goes...14.24, 14.23, 15.23
