Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Treasure hunt, little minions! @Crow , @Avery , @Pox , @Sugar Glider , @Weejay , @Nellie and @Bronco and any adults, who feel like kids themselves. :) Set for some time next week. There will be 3- 4 rounds and the success of each individual will be dice-rolled and written in Wraen's posts. Let's see, how it works out, if it does not, then the game rules will be adjusted.

Work was the best remedy for sorrow and, when Wraen had come up with a both educational and fun idea for the kids, she was glad to have some distraction for her own sorrows. Ever since Pox had begun to demand presents every time she came for a visit, she had made a nice collection of various items to supply the demand. And one particularly interesting piece was an almost full set of a deer's ribs and backbone, with a creepy skull as a cherry on top of an already tasty cake. Her treasury had limited space to house everything she had accumulated over time, therefore after some thinking she decided to give the kids something to do. 

Wraen walked the whole length of the copse, until she found the best area for the treasure hunt. There she hid and scattered various pieces of the vertebrae and bones, but in such a way that they formed a path. A variation of bread crumbs strategy from Hansel and Gretel, except each individual bone was located several steps away from the other. Often not at the most obvious places and there were some trick pieces as well. To lead of the main path. At the end of it, by a tree that had been uprooted during a storm, in a freshly dug hole she had hidden the skull and just in case the lucky finder was not particularly phased by it, she added some more toys and pushed the sand around it. 

She let it all settle for a day, checked that everything was in place and then carrying a piece of vertebra in her mouth, she went to the rendezvous' site and called the resident kids together. "I saw a Snark in the woods today. Who's up for a hunt?" she asked.
