CARNELIAN

[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.

Comments

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.)

A single message to all the teams, then? There is only one scroll.

[and after a beat.]

Before, I could not introduce myself; I will now, for I have remembered the name Maitimo.

Morning. Good luck in the game today. - Carnelian

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?"

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]

"The dance floor at there is no pressure to be able to, to give easily, to communicate to anyone and Ruby the fat hangeth down the hidden things there is a tree of the house of cache."

Ah, from Ruby, though I can ascertain none of their usual craft for word in this. Nor indeed their penchant for bacon.

Ruby welcomes all to our treehouse, well stocked with bacon which shall be given freely. There is no pressure to dance, and we shall speak freely to anyone.

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?"

Re: DISCUSSION

I know not; and thus I will do as you did and find all words I can, that you may choose.

ROUND 3

[dramatispersonae]

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]

Beloved of them:
Even if all the features
It can not be done, which thou shalt do.
And so, I want to show -
The darkness:
To be vicious, they think. In this example
How shameful it is to believe the loss of this evil.
