Geocache Description:

One in the series of caches in tribute to the film The Princess Bride

[Scene: Open area. Vizzini is seated behind a covered table. Buttercup, blindfolded, is sitting to his left. On the table is a bottle of wine and two goblets. The Man in Black approaches the Table]
Vizzini: So it is down to you, and it is down to me. If you wish her dead, by all means, keep moving forward.
Man in Black: Let me explain--
Vizzini: There's nothing to explain. You're trying to kidnap what I have rightfully stolen.
Man in Black: Perhaps an arrangement can be reached?
Vizzini: There will be no arrangement, and you're killing her.
Man in Black: Well if there can be no arrangement, then we are at an impasse.
Vizzini: I'm afraid so. I can't compete with you physically, and you're no match for my brains.
Man in Black: You're that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it this way: have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
Man in Black: Really. [pause] In that case, I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Vizzini: For the princess? [ Man in Black nods ] To the death? [ Man in Black nods ] I accept.
Man in Black: Good. Then pour the wine.
[Man in Black pulls out a small vial, and uncorks it]
Man in Black: Inhale this, but do not touch.
Vizzini: I smell nothing.
Man in Black: What you do not smell is called Iocane powder. It is odorless, tasteless, dissolves instantly in liquid, and is among the more deadly poisons known to man.
Vizzini: Hmmmm.

The cache is a camouflaged Altoids tin with log and room for small trade items. Since this one has had a bit of trouble getting off the grround, I have added an unactivated trackable as the FTF prize. As always, bring your own writing instrument just in case.
