Congratulations to Brave Cache_U on your heroic efforts! You were the first adventurer to visit the treasure and keep it secure. Your tale will be one of legend for many a generation to come!


One fine afternoon, Moose the Hobbit was sitting in his study reading his favorite adventure story.  All of a sudden, there was a loud knock on the door, and his best friend Tag the Wizard swings open the door and steps into the study. 

"Hurry, Moose," Tag exclaims in a hurry.

"What is it Tag?  Why are you out of breath?  What is going on?"  Moose the Hobbit asks puzzled by Tag's sudden appearance.

"Its the secret treasure of Antler Mountain.  It's about to be snagged by evil muggles!  You must find it first, and keep it safe.  Here, read this scroll and find it before the muggles.  I understand from your previous quest that you should be very versed in this language by now!" Tag the Wizard hands Moose a blue scroll, and on it is familiar writing.

Moose takes the scroll from Tag the Wizard, takes out his eyeglass, and stares at it.  Sure enough, its faint but legible.  There, on the blue scroll is writing he remembers from his last quest.  He figures out what the writing means, and takes off to find the treasure of Antler Mountain.  He saves the treasure from being muggled, and finds a new hiding spot for it.  To make sure it stays safe, he writes down the location using the same language.  After all, he's the only one that knows the language.
