Day 5: Scavenger hunt with Orowa
A familiar face is already waiting at the foot of the rope ladder to the purple craft.
In her hands, she holds a new map. "The last adventure still seems to shake you to the bones. I know it's going to take a lot to get you going again, but this mission can't be delayed and you're the only ones I can trust to do the job."
The urgency of her words is disturbing to our adventurers. The mission seems very important to her, so our adventurers agree that they will leave immediately.
"You will need some equipment. You will find what you need back there in that building."
In which building will our adventurers receive their equipment?
Day 5: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 2
Ready for a new adventure, our friends climb onto the purple craft. As Orowa looks to the horizon, he feels that their next adventure will not be so easy.
The purple craft starts to ascend. "I thank you for your courage," the message echos from a mouthpiece. "I am deeply in your debt and wish you good luck."
Our adventurers leaves aboard the purple craft, somewhat trembled, uncertain what they've gotten themselves into again.
Day 5: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 3
Our friends are going through a rough patch. Snowstorms and rugged mountains. Since they are not wearing snowshoes, there is always a threat that they sink into deep snow if they don't move carefully. The sun is high above them and makes harder to tread in the snow.
Blinded by the sun's light, our adventurers slip one by one on a block of smooth ice. And yet they survive without a scratch. They end up standing in front of a shiny black wolf statue.
What is it made of?
Day 5: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 4
Orowa is so furious that his friends hardly recognize him. He storms toward the statue.
MOD_Yardly stops him. "There can be traps!"
Upon closer inspection, the statue seems to be placed on top of a pedestal connected to some sort of mechanism.
"The mechanism must not be activated, let's be very careful," adds Savage Scout.
Our adventurers are busy examining the pedestal. "The mechanism looks sluggish. If we quickly replace the statue with something of the same weight, there should be no problem," Orowa suggests.
He starts digging in his luggage and finds a rusty folding spade.
"I'll dig my own grave later," he notes cynically. Very fast he takes the statue and replaces it with the rusty folding spade. "Now let us get out of here before we freeze."
The rest of their party are already waiting for them, "You've got the statue. Thank the heavens. The miners in the volcanic forge are very superstitious. This statue will reassure the miners and they will resume their work. And now that you have completed this important mission, come with me and let us celebrate."
Day 6: Scavenger hunt with Orowa
The next morning our heroes could not believe their eyes as they slowly stroll about early in the day. "What happened here? Are those corpses wandering aimlessly about?" MOD_Duimelijntje looks puzzled.
Lifeless animated bodies that smell of decayed flesh. Better run away if you see them on your island.
Day 6: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 2
Our adventurers climb back to the purple craft to get a better view of what is going on.
"She will surely know what's happening", says Orowa as he consistently looks over his shoulder for fear of being followed by these mysterious creatures.
"What's going on? What's with this spooky music and those creatures?" Savage Scout walks back and forth on the purple craft. "Can you explain to us what's happening here?"
Day 6: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 3
"I hardly dare say it; we need your help one more time. Find the Mad Scientist," with much distress, the captain looks to our adventurers.
"The mad scientist? Where do we find him?", asks Orowa, who is already looking forward to their next adventure.
Day 6: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 4
"Once you find him, ask him for the recipe. Only with this recipe can the Horror on the island be defeated," says the captain.
"The Horror?" MOD_Snorrebaard looks at the island beyond the railing, "down there everything seems the same, so which horror do you mean exactly?"
The captain hands a telescope to MOD_Snorrebaard. "Do you see that small island in the heart of the sea? This is where you'll find 'the Horror'."
What could this 'Horror' be?
Day 6: Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Part 5
Our adventurers set out to seek the Mad Scientist. Princess Zoe bangs against the gate and a thin airy voice answers from inside.
"IGOR, we have guests, go open the door!" The gate opens with a creaking sound and a short, wild-haired Knauz faces them. "Why are you disturbing me and what do you want? I don't have time for you. Igor is gone and I have too many experiments to conduct."
He promptly tries to close the gate, but Princess Zoe purposely planted her foot in the door. "We need the recipe against the 'Great Terror'. We are sent to fight it!"
"Ah, the recipe is what you want", the Mad Scientist starts digging around in his pockets and throws out a crumbled piece of paper. "Here you go. Now leave!"
Our adventurers immediately unfurl the paper to learn the recipe.
"We have the recipe", Orowa hurries to the rope ladder, "Let's use it and put an end to this Horror!"
It doesn't take long for Orowa to get back to the group, a few bottles in his hand. "Let's get this over with, I really can't stand this spooky music any longer!"
MOD_Duimelijntje grabs two of the bottles and sets out to the island. The others follow her, all of them armed with bottles too.
As soon as they arrive at their destination, they face the 'Terror'. Princess Zoe throws the first bottle. The 'Terror' screams, squirms and lashes out at the adventurers, who are throwing their bottles one by one. The last bottle turns the 'Terror' to dust, the spooky music falls silent and is replaced by another tune ...
Day 7: Scavenger hunt with Orowa
... "No, that can't be, just listen to this music - it sounds like ..." starts MOD_Yardly and sways to the jingle of the bells.
