Treasure Search

[Ramzunius]

When Alex returned to the spot (25.17), where she buried first part of her coin, she found a new tree, suddenly grown up in that place. She walked around the tree and found some thing, hanging on the lowest branch. It was another parchment.
"A hint? Looks like the search area was reduced..."

[Alexandria]

Looking at the parchment in her hand and the one hanging from the tree; more parchment, she said softly reaching for the one hanging on the lower branch. She glanced at the image then the tree then the image once more. Hey! There are trees on this image! Alex looked around to see who was playing with her.

Sitting beneath the tree… "Okay what’s next?" She shouted out loud; while she glared at the image realize the area she made with the coins was smaller but how and why she wonder.

[Serene]

Serene excused herself hastily from the peasant unsure of what he was talking about. She ran to 21.16. She jumped from rock to rock to cross the stream. Her feet got splashed. She stood in the shade of a tall building.

[Ramzunius]

Two peasants where walking near the Cathedral. At 26.14 they spoke about tree:

- Have You seen that? Trees are growing in no time nowadays!
- You think, it is somehow connected with the Treasure, we are looking for?
- May be. We could search where the tree is growing?
- Too late. You see that lady? She was first on that spot.

They nod to Serene, when reached 21.16.

- Lucky lady. She have a Magical Compass in her hands.
- Looks like it is broken? Or what?
- Fool of you. Magic things newer broke!
- How can be? You think, she can try to use it more time?

One of peasants shrug, and another made a deep sigh.

[Serene]

Serene thinks she hears some one speaking loud and frustrated. She runs to 27.20 to see what is going on. Otherwise Bravia seems rather quiet today. Maybe it is because of the weather., snowy/rainy day. It is chilly and Serene thinks of going back to the caravan to warm up at the fire.

[Ramzunius]

She met Ramzunius on the road. They have small talk. He was returning from the Town Hall, just visited the Scribe. Yes, he is levelling tonight. Decided to try blacksmith - what else could he choose, being the Patron of Maps and Machines...

Serene have a broken toy? Oh, well, he could take a look...

Ramzunius carefully dismounted all into parts, then walked around few times, saying no word. Then he put everything into one piece and happily smiled. "May I?" He could not resist of trying the toy. Put it onto the grass and rubbed the side.

The arrow inside glass started to rotate, and Serene had a feeling, that the compass was shining a bit brighter and that she has already seen this not so long ago. Arrow rotated quicker and quicker until it suddenly stopped.

Then black raven landed on the compass and cawed TWO times. As the first time, raven jumped into the air and flew. This time he pointed exactly in between of North and North-East.

Ramzunius smiled, noded, wished Serene good night and run home.

[Alexandria]

Alex was looking at the parchment. Flipping over and over hoping something would come to her when she notice out the corner of her eye two men glaring at her. Maybe they are the next clue, she thought as she stood up. Not the way they are glaring at you, she thought to herself. " Hmm! Maybe the clue is here. I mean maybe I’m standing on it," she muttered to herself. "Crap!" She said loudly and me with no shovel for digging.

[Ramzunius]

Then she shaked her head. "Impossible. I would feel it, if the treasure was there". And after short pause she thought: "May be I should check both the remaining trees?"

A man, running down the road to the Ramzunius home (from the place she was he reminded Ramzunius) stopped sudenly and nodded to her side few times.

[Serene]

Serene was happy to see Ramunzius. She had met him in the tavern once. Seeing him made Bravia seem more friendly less deserted. Serene was surprised when he took her toy and easily fixed it. She wondered how he just happened to have another arrow with him to fix it. Serene watched him play with the toy after he fixed it. This time a crow came but didn't steal the arrow. She would have to try and make it work without breaking it.
Ramunzius ran off so quickly that she had to shout her thanks for fixing her toy to his receding back.
She walked to 25.19 and looked around. She watched Alexandria who was a short distance away. She seemed upset about something. Serene waved.

[Dwayberry]

Dwayberry lost sight of the hedgehog and though it was tempting to stay in the orchard, she wandered back out. The strawberries would wait for her and the treasure probably wouldn't.
She returned to 8.24 and stuck her hand down the hole. If the treasure was buried here, it was an easy catch. However, she only found a piece of parchment with some crazy text.
Dwayberry scratched her head "A bird? I don't know... riddles are stupid anyway,'' she muttered and wondered to the river, then crossed the bridge (9.25, 10.25, 11.25, 12.24, 13.24, 14.23, 14.22, 14.21, 14.20, 15.20).
