Nomiker's cache, GC34KGC, was the inspiration for this cache. I thought I would introduce people to another game that I devoted a huge amount of time playing as a youth. To quote the old 80's movie War Games: "Would You Like To Play A Game?"
THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE GIVEN COORDINATES
In order to find this cache, you must correctly identify a piece of information for A, B, C, D, E, F, X & Y. Each piece of information required has a clue associated with it.
The coords are as follows:
N 44 54.ABC
W 092 57.DEF
Below are the clues:
A= the A/C of a creature described as(in armor):
"…scaly hides that range from dark, rusty brown to a rusty black. They smell of damp dogs and stagnant water. Their eyes glow like a bright red spark and they have two small horns ranging from tan to white.”
B= the HD of this creature (do not include any bonuses):
“…is a very cunning carnivore, capable of surviving in nearly every climate. Shrouded in mystery and suspicion, they are viewed as vicious killers that slaughter men and animals alike for the lack of better things to do. They are characterized by powerful jaws; wide strong teeth; bushy tails, tall, strong ears; and round pupils.” This particular beast “…is an ancestor of the modern species. Though larger in size, they are otherwise similar to their descendants.”
C=The XP Value of a Juvenile, -1 (only one)/1,000:
“…are lean, but muscular. Their hard, hairless flesh is smooth and gray, making it easy for them to blend in with their mountainous surroundings. Their gaunt facial features and deep, sunken black eyes make them seem perpetually grim. A typical [one of these] 18’ tall and weighs 9,000 pounds because of its dense flesh.“
D=the HD of this creature:
“… are fey creatures who have human-like faces (with fanged mouths) on leathery, snake-like bodies. They usually work with other evil beings for mutual gain or survival. [These] tend to be black, purplish-black, or very dark blue in hue, and their crested heads and smooth, almost invisible scales make them look like gigantic eels more than snakes.”
E=the size of this:
“… are native of the Border Ethereal, and they only survive in ethereal form. They appear as sickly gray skeletal bodies with oversized platypus heads. They have webbed skeletal paws, suited to swimming through the ether.”
F=the base HD plus the AC of X minus the base movement of Y
X=”…are the most covetous and greedy of all [of these], forever seeking to increase their treasure hoards. They are obsessed with their wealth and memorize an inventory accurate to the last copper. They are exceptionally vain and self confident, considering themselves superior not only to others [of their kind], but to all life in general. When [these] hatch, their small scales are a bright glossy scarlet.”
Y=”…the smallest and weakest of the evil [these things], are slow witted but efficient hunters. They are impulsive, vicious, and animalistic, tending to consider only the needs and emotions of the moment and having no foresight or regret. Despite their low intelligence, they are as greedy and evil as the other [of these]. The scales of a hatchling [one of these] are a mirror-like glistening white, which makes them virtually invisible against a snowy background.”
Coord Checker is being withheld for difficulty, however, I don't bite and answer my emails fairly often.
