The group walks along the shore of North Lake, which is certainly an interesting name for a lake. "Well," Alpha says as they finally arrive at their destination, "this is one of the two northwestern corners of the lake. The clue must be around here somewhere." They spread out to look for the clue.

Again, a few minutes pass before one of the team calls out (OOC: the first person to reply can assume responsibility for discovering it). The group gathers around again to read the four lines written on a piece of paper that had been found within a bottle on the shoreline:
'A darkened hole midst the mountainous stone,
Pit of radiant rocks standing alone.
Favored by the black nocturnal beasts,
The annoying blood-lusters called Keese.'

OOC: I'm not gonna be here for the rest of the night, so I might as well make this my post...

IC: Indeed, a few minutes did pass until the message was found. It was Victor who found the message in the bottle, and he chuckled at the cliché. Still, he called to the others and hastened to relieve the note of its glass prison, unrolling it for all to read. The Bard found himself raising an eyebrow again, and looked up at the rest of the group, handing the note to Alpha.

"I can't make heads or tails of this one. How 'bout you guys?"

OOC: See you guys later! :D

As Cloud read the clue aloud to himself Hellie squeeked at the last sentence.

Hellie, it's just a riddle that someone made before they knew- Cloud snapped his fingers.

I remember when i first found Hellie. It was in an old rotten tree, Hellie was hurt and i healed him. He liked me after that so I let him come along. Maybe he knows something, or the area around it could have something.

Arco stares at the message in Victor's hands for only a few moments before something inside him goes "click" (his tongue against the roof of his mouth, to be exact).

A smile creeps onto his features...

Let's try that again.

Something like a smile scrabbles his way onto the zygomactic bits of his countenance, and he steps back. He taps a random person on the shoulder.

"Let's go," he says, almost impatiently (he's probably been learning from Shada). "I've been wanting to visit the Forrreman for a while now." A friendly but strangled laugh escapes him.

YOUR RIGHT! The Forrreman! It has to be!

Cloud became very excited too, he was very much enjoying all this. He also believed that this Event would lead him to his long lost father.

"The Foreman?" Shada asks, confused by what she's heard Arco say.

"Of course!" Alpha nods in agreement with his fellow Sheikah's assessment. "The North Forest Mines...figures that Arco would figure that one out." He turns and walks to the northwest, towards the next clue.

OOC: Goody! This is going faster than I ever hoped it would!

You people have gotten better...or maybe I decided to be nice for once and make the riddles a bit easier... 8)

To Clue #4!
