[b]The scroll snaps open, and 3 words appear on a retro arcade looking background. "Ready Player One" they fade and a small poem appears.
"A hoard of riches
Waits at the end of this quest

Edited by JealousOrc: 6/27/2016 11:54:34 PMAHHHHH!!! I'VE HEARD IT BEFORE!!!!! A HEART!? [spoiler]how many guesses?[/spoiler]
-
Edited by autoson2000: 6/27/2016 11:54:23 PMNay, not a heart. 2 guesses remaining.
-
WHY WOULD I EVEN SAY THAT!? A HEART ISN'T A BOX!!! IS IT A CARDBOARD BOX!? [spoiler]technically not wrong[/spoiler]
-
Nay, not a cardboard box. That had a lid of sorts! My hint is that it always contains something golden. 1 guess remaining.
-
Not really a lid but whatever. Hmm, always contains something golden... anymore hints?
-
One more hint: Riddles in the Dark, beneath the misty mountains.
-
Ahhhhhhh, this is a Lord of the Rings thing. Right?
-
This particular riddle's answer may be found in the hobbit, yes.
-
Ahhhhhhh. I watched the movies and read some of the book. I just gotta remember that scene with Golem. I'm kind of tempted to say a book(always has knowledge so that could be considered golden to some) but I don't remember them saying that...
-
Not a book... You probably don't eat that for breakfast.
-
Another hint? Sweet. I'm now tempted to say a fish because Golem ate fish but a fish isn't a box lol.
-
Not fish. What's breakfast and golden?
-
Breakfast and golden... EGGS!!!
-
The scroll crumbles to dust in your hands, replaced by an intricate golden egg. It has a clasp on the side, and hinges.
-
Edited by JealousOrc: 6/28/2016 12:17:25 AMI guess I was right? [spoiler]what's a clasp[/spoiler]
-
A clasp is like a little lock that can be flipped open.
-
[b]i open the egg[/b]
-
A blinding white light flashes out, and you feel a strong urge to reach inside. Before you can, a hand reaches out and snaps the egg shut. "I wouldn't do that quite yet," a voice says. There in front of you is a man in a tattered grey cloak, with two pistol holsters at his hips. "The game is a dangerous one, I would be wary, if you are to continue."
-
Nah it's all good. Wait, who are you?
-
The man, ignoring your question, glares. "How did you get a copy of the scroll?" He snarls.
-
It was floating in the sky and I hit it with a spoon and it fell down.
-
The man's eyes widen. "The last scroll..." He murmurs. Sticking out a hand, he introduces himself as Ghost. "Son," he says, "you have gotten yourself into quite the amount of trouble here. I have a feeling you'll need my help."
-
K. So, do I jump in the egg or...
