Geocache Description:


The cache is a large sistema container. Please do not add any additional camouflage.

While venturing through the Fields of Armiate after a victorious battle with the orcs and the mighty stone dragon, you decide to look for a worthy opponent in the nearby forest. But lurking in the trees is something far worse than your expectations.

Though without fear, you unsheathe your sword and head into the gloom of Hawkan Forest. Shadows crawl and swim around you as you stride past them. Eventually, you come to an intersection in the ancient track. The air smells foul down the path. Bonepickers, small hunched creatures that move quickly by partially sidestepping, tear apart corpses to search for bones to make their shelters.

Charging down the track, you swing your sword back and forth, knocking the beasts off the path. They aren't a big threat. Until their mother comes along. A huge screeching roar bellows down the mountain toward you, literally knocking you down from the path towards the shallow river.

Scrambling back up, the mother comes into sight. It eyes you with its big sticky eye. Smashing back trees, the bonepicker charges full speed at you. You're hanging by your bare hands, and the mother slowly, mockingly begins to pry every finger loose, one by one, until you use your last ounce of strength, swing your legs over to the large log above and slice your sword in the air one last time.

The Bonepicker's head slowly rolls of like bread against butter. But just as you're about to rest on the mossy soft rock, a hand, formerly hidden, appears. A titan emerges from the overhang, and recites a riddle for anybody attempting to find the first of his many treasures.

Under the hood of mossy rock,
In an overhang greater than all,
A sistema container lies in peace,
Sheltered where rain may not fall.

The hide ajar out wide,
Adjacent the stream,
The hike not too far,
Just follow you're heart and dream.

Go round, not down,
The tumbling creek,
Take this regretful advice,
And you will find what you seek..

These are its last words before vanishing into a dark portal. Your only chance to defeat the evil of your world is to find his six treasures. Then you will have the capability to open the portal in which the titan disappeared.
