RUBY

[dramatispersonae]

You're in a small grove of trees off the side of the road. Somehow, their thick leaves muffle all sound from beyond, leaving only faint whispers and echoes at the fringe of your hearing.

ROUND 1

[dramatispersonae]

A scroll rests on the ground before you, along with a quill pen. As a team, you will need to write a short message (about two sentences) to the other teams on it. (If no one here can write, the pen will respond to your thoughts.)

Hi. Ruby has a hidden bacon stash in their treehouse, that they may be willing to share with anyone that can do the chicken dance.

ROUND 1.5

[dramatispersonae]

The scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "Why would someone betray his beloved?"

So it's a puzzle this time, is it?

Boredom

Re: WORDS FOUND

[whyitgottabeblack]

Spite
Falsehood
Wealth
Weak
Infidelity

ROUND 2

[dramatispersonae]

The latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"To be able to cope with all of us so that we can work together for the manner of the sea."

This game is starting to give me a headache.

It has to be something about working together... for... something.

We should work together for something peaceful, even if we do not like each other.

ROUND 2.5

[dramatispersonae]

As before, the scroll the bird just dropped is covered in letters--seemingly random at first, but with some patterns. Even if you cannot read, you understand that there are words to be found here...



Beneath the jumble of letters is a question: "What is human nature?"

ROUND 3

As before, the latest scroll has a short message on it, similar to the one you wrote earlier...but not quite. It seems to be another team's message, but somehow jumbled and distorted. It will be your task to try to ascertain what it was originally.

This time, the scroll is a bit more tattered than before. Is that dried blood staining its edges?

MESSAGE

[dramatispersonae]

"This can not be on the side of evil from himself, but it is so we can find each other. He will fail and suffer all the time."
