Geocache Description:

FOR THE "BEER, BRAUTS, & BURGER BASH" ***BRING A PENCIL***

BLOODLUST captures a leprechaun and forces him to reveal the location of his buried treasure. The leprechaun assures him that the treasure is buried in an open field beneath a particular ragwort plant. BLOODLUST ties a red ribbon to the plant, first extracting a promise from the leprechaun not to remove the ribbon. Releasing the leprechaun, he leaves to get a shovel. Upon his return he finds that every weed in the field has been tied with an identical red ribbon, thus making it impossible to find the treasure.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHABLOODLUST

A leprechaun is a mythical Irish elf or faerie that occupies a realm which lies somewhere between the physical and spirit world. There are no female leprechauns noted in folklore, begging an obvious question. Then again, faeries don't follow the same rules as humankind. The leprechaun is said to love his PIPE, drink and his solitude, but on occasion he can become social, and when this happens he loves to dance and engage in antics.

Through the legends surrounding the leprechaun, the image of a mischievous, shrewd and quick-witted little elf emerges. It is said that when the Danes plundered Ireland, they left their gold with leprechauns to guard. Hence, if you catch a leprechaun he may lead you to his stash of gold hidden beneath a rainbow. But first he will try to bribe you. The leprechaun carries two leather pouches: one holds a silver coin, and the other a gold one. The silver coin magically returns to his pouch every time it is spent. However, he will offer you the gold coin, which will turn to ash or disappear completely once he is safely away. A captured leprechaun might even offer his captor the granting of three wishes, but excellent trickery will make the wishes as useful as the gold coin.

Leprechauns believe men of our world to be excessively greedy and careless, and will avoid being caught. If cornered however, holding a leprechaun's gaze will keep him from disappearing. But beware: he will use every trick to get you to look away, and when you look back, he will be gone.
