Khajiit & Logic
Hey there, traveler of numbers and logic, I heard you love a good puzzle; I have a story about a hidden treasure that requires clever riddles to unveil. Care to hear it?
Sure, I'm all ears. Lay out the clues and let's see what we can deduce.
Ah, good! I’ll spin you a tale of a silver chest that hides in a place most folks ignore. Three clues, each a little riddle. Solve them all, and the chest’s open.
**Clue One – The Whispering Wind**
When the sun is at its highest, the wind that blows from the west carries a scent of jasmine. Follow that scent, but not straight into the sun, stay to the left of it. That will bring you to a stone that bears the mark of a silver crescent.
**Clue Two – The Moonlit Path**
At night, when the moon is full, a path of silver leaves a faint trail on the ground. Walk that trail for exactly seven steps and you’ll reach a hollowed oak. Inside that hollow, the number “13” is carved in a way that only a feline can read: it looks like a fish's tail curled around the number.
**Clue Three – The Echoing Cave**
From the hollowed oak, walk north until you hear a sound that repeats exactly twice, like a drumbeat. That echo comes from a cave. Inside, a chest sits under a pile of loose rocks. The chest is locked with a padlock whose code is the sum of the numbers in the first two clues: the crescent number (think of its place on a clock) plus the fish‑tail number (13).
If you crack that padlock, the chest will spill secrets and a little bit of sweet, sweet gold. Ready to start the hunt?
The lock’s code should be 19. The crescent points to 6 on a clock, and the fish‑tail “13” adds up to 19. Good luck cracking it!
