Overview: Scavenger hunt with Orowa

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...ary_header.png

Very Lucky

Fortunately, Orowa had developed a pronounced sense of smell through years of practice and the bandits don't take hygiene seriously at all. Orowa's nose leads the group around the ruins and further into the middle of the dreaded Coop Triangle until they reach a cruciform island.

"Let's surround the bandits," Orowa commands. Nobody protests, not even Intrepid Explorer who seems too preoccupied at the moment.

"But for heaven's sake be very quiet and keep your swords drawn!," Orowa adds.

The bandits don't like trespassers and the group meets heavy resistance. Since Orowa is on their side, they thought they had the advantage. However, what they expected to be a quick victory turned into a long-drawn battle.

Eventually, the bandits were forced into submission one by one and those left standing threw down their weapons.

Only the bandit leader, Brandubh, the black raven, is left standing. Determined to defend his rightfully captured treasure with his life but when a ghost emerged out of nowhere, even this evil-looking fellow turned tail and ran into the darkness.

What does he leave to our adventurers?

Unfortunately, their victory did not last long, because whirlwinds suddenly arose from all directions. Did they miss anything? Orowa falls down, his eyes turned white with dismay as he remembers the old stories about Brandubh. About his wild raids and his mastery of magic as a warlock.

The whirlwinds reach its full power and it rips everything apart in its way, blowing away the hinges of their camp.

They must come up with something and quickly. Orowa looks deeply into the helpless faces of his companions until all of a sudden, an idea flashed in his mind.

"Lovely Explorer, hand me the figurine!", Orowa yells. "Everyone, stand in a circle around the figurine!"

"If by any chance, we have no...", before Candid Explorer can finish the sentence, the group is swallowed by an intense flash of blue light.

A little later, the eye of what is probably the fiercest hurricane they have ever seen pulverized its way through their campsite.

Another riddle awaits you

Squeezed together, the group travels at a back-breaking pace through space and time. Their faces turned white, more so than Orowa's ghostly sheets as they continue to descend into the earth, past thick clouds and startled flocks of migratory birds.

"THERE..." Even before Intrepid Explorer can point to a purple craft on the horizon, the group are abruptly turned upside down.

"Ouch, did we hit the ground...", whimpers Orowa.

"I thought ghosts don't feel pain," etches Charming Geologist back.

Actually, the group hovers over the earth, their light capsule stops just inches off the ground. Before our friends notice it, the protective barrier implodes and everyone crashes roughly to the ground.

Above them an unknown purple craft remains stationed, something that they already caught a glimpsed on in their descent.

What could this be?

Welcome Travelers

"Welcome travelers, you seem to have a lot of stories to tell," says the stranger. "Perhaps you'd like to share them over a cup of tea?

Out of curiosity the group hesitatingly agrees.

"So you are looking for adventures?" asks their new acquaintance. "Put these text modules together. That's how you'll make maps. And who knows where they'll take you."

Although the group is still weak in the knees from the landing, they start working on the puzzle.

What will the map show? What adventures are in store for them?

What is the Excelsior offering?

It starts with the letter V

New Adventures

Our adventurers sip their tea in a hurry. Finally, a map with new adventures lies before them. Their new friend smiles graciously and offers to accompany the group to the adventure. Our adventurers agree.

And as if that weren't enough, their new friend places a bag in Orowa's hand. "You'll need this. You will soon find out why."

Orowa looks curiously at the bag in his hand.

"Good luck my comrades" he hears their new friend say. "I'm sure we'll see each other again soon."

Our adventurers go on their way. Not long after, a dark cloud starts to loom over which reminds them of the hurricane they narrowly escaped. But this time, it's different and the cloud dark cloud seems to mumble something. Our adventurers look at each other in amazement.

"Turn back or your life will end", it rumbles threateningly.

"What was that?" asks Lovely Explorer.

What Adventure is this from?

Shall we run away...

"Are we going to run away from that?" Orowa asks defiantly. He turns and sees fearfully pale faces.

"If you only knew the true horrors I have faced!", Orowa looks back on his previous life with a shiver. The tortures of Spooky-Hilda... Helene Fischer!!

"We have come this far," Orowa hears Lovely Explorer says.

Intrepid Explorer looks at the rest of the team and with renewed determination, they rise up to the challenge and continues on their journey. They read the instructions on the map and made use of the item that Orowa received - it definitely was handy.

As they return from their adventure, they find that an old acquaintance is waiting for them.

"You've really done it," she says, "This calls for a celebration!"

Behind her is a table covered with grilled steaks and freshly tapped malt beer. "Eat as much as you want! - For tonight you are my guests."

Did you find out?

A loud shriek jolts Orowa out of his sleep. He hastily looks around. "Who is in need? Does anyone need help?"

He looks over to Candid Explorer, who is already standing next to his bed and smugly replies: "Calm down, it's just a rooster."

Orowa hears a pounding on the door.

"ATTENTION!!! Chin up, chest out, shoulders back, stomach in!"

Puzzled and still half asleep, the rest of the mods looked at each other. A small man struts into the room. Strict look, brush haircut, arms clasped behind his back. Only Candid Explorer stands straight up and stares straight into the wall. The little man draws near him, inspects him with an empty look and hisses 'well done' at him.

At this very moment, the other adventurers casually get up on their feet. But before they are able to compose themselves, they are ordered to do 100 pushups and subsequent latrine service by the strange small man.

Who is this strange small man?

Clean the Latrines

Our adventurers have already experienced a lot and done amazing things in their exploits so far. But they have never been pushed so close to their limit. Most impressive is Candid Explorer. He had done everything right and made a good impression.

And as our group goes about cleaning the latrines, the little man suddenly reappears. His stern look collapses to a neutral expression. You could almost think he is smiling. The scars on his face bear witness to many battles he must have fought.

"Follow me!", says the little man.

What our adventurers do not know is how long this little man has not had many guests. He is well-known for his roughness. And now he has all the time in the world that day to show our adventures "everything".

What are our adventurers allowed to visit?

How do you like it?

"And, what can you say about my house? Impressive, is not it?" For a moment the commander smiles - but then his stern look returns to his face, and he maintained this look all throughout the morning.

"Your trainees are elite warriors. Are those sentries in the back your trainees too?" Orowa asks as he points to the far end of the yard.

The bravest warriors

"Yes, these are our best and bravest warriors," the commander replies. "Although the training takes a long time, they win every battle in which I lead them!"

"Where do you send them?" The curiosity is evident on the face of our adventurers.

Where do you only need such warriors?

"All very fascinating," replies Orowa. "When we have time the next time we come here. We'll join their training."

The rest of the group looks at Orowa sharply. "That's how we learn something useful for our adventures," he continues.

Orowa shakes the commander's hand and signals his companions, they can now leave this place. And so, our group heads off into another adventure.
