Gangplank's Parrley Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

wramsey24: While I really want to keep this one going, work has been unrelenting lately; I have also since moved out of state, which will make keeping up on maintenance a bit difficult. I will try to get out here within 3 weeks to remove the cache (more than likely I will relocate it closer to my current residence).

I thought of numerous ways to keep the cache alive, but everyone either took a piece away from the cache, or would fall prey to the same problem: the distance between the cache and myself. It's time to move on and let another cacher claim the area. Thanks to the few who hunted (and the fewer who found) this cache.

Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!


In order to log this cache, you will need to collect two travel bugs:
Gangplank's Key
Gangplank's Treasure Map
Once you have both travel bugs, you can unlock the lock box (the treasure chest) and sing the log.  DO NOT try force the lock box open!  Take a moment to look at the map below (Map o' Schaumburg).  Please do not move the travel bugs outside the borders of the map as much as possible.  This way, others don't have to travel huge distances just to claim this cache. Also, don't put both travel bugs in the same cache...let's make this find more fun than that! The terrain rating is only for the final container.

There is a hide-a-key for the FTF!

The story (and characters involved) are based off of characters from League of Legends/Riot Games. 


Ahoy matey's! Me moniker be Gangplank, th' Saltwater Scourge! I have sailed from Bilgewater to do battle on th' Fields 'o Justice, fightin' fer th' rights 'o all band 'o pirate-kind. I be sure ye've heard all 'bout me victories in battle, so I won't bore ye wit' me gory stories.

Now then, ye be probably thinkin' what does th' mighty Gangplank need from th' likes 'o ye? Well, a few days ago, I found meself low on ammo, outta oranges, bloody all over, 'n surrounded by that crazed lass, Miss Fortune, 'n her motley buckos.  Fer them who haven't heard of Miss Fortune before, I have a pair warnin's fer ye: she be ruthless bounty hunter 'n a deadly siren. I found meself cornered 'n facin' her pair a pistols, "Shock 'n Awe" (more like, "Scrap 'n Awful" if ye ask me, harrharr).  Outgunned 'n outnumbered, I struck up a parley wit' th' wee lass. Fer me life, I would hand over some 'o me gold doubloons. It seems th' fates whar on me side...just as I was 'bout to hand over me precious booty, an orange fell into me hand. I quickly devoured it, 'n sprinted back to me ship, th' Dead Pool.  That wee lass has chased me all over Valoran, seekin' me treasure that she thinks be her's. Th' day I willin' hand over me gold fer free be th' day I be in Davy Jones' locker. To keep Miss Fortune off me back, I have buried th' chest somewhar in ye wee village...here's whar ye become a part o' me plan. To find me chest, ye first search fer th' map...I have written th' coords out fer ye. Next, seek out th' key to th' chest. From what I spied, thar be a whole lot of pirates in ye village, 'cept these pirates be huntin' some strange treasure by th' moniker of "geocaches"; it mayhaps be ye gunna need to strike up a parley with another scurvy pirate to find me chest. Once ye got both th' key 'n coords, ye can set sail fer th' treasure. I gunna gift ye a few doubloons from me chest fer keepin' an eye on me booty. I have also given ye a map 'o ye village...ye best keep th' key 'n th' map within th' bounds 'o ye village, otherwise I'll be havin' ye walk th' plank. Hurry now, less ye want that greedy woman takin' all me gold! Luck be wit' ye, 'n have a jolly treasure hunt!

NOTE: Missing Map...

(Ending pirate-speak...) Due to the loss of the map travel bug, and my very busy work schedule, I am not sure when I will be in town to replace the missing TB. Until such time, I am setting up an alternate way to determine the cache coords. Information required to answer the following calculations can be readily found online. Because stats of certain items/spells change often in League of Legends, I will attempt to keep these calculations up to date.

The cache is located at N 42 A.B W 088 Y.Z

Yarrharr! Seems to me that VBTZ be th' mightiest pirate o' Schaumburg, or at least th' quickest! Yo ho, blow th' man down!
