Upon this cache you will find a number scratched to reveal the hidden location of the final for the nearby Multi cache.
You now have to search out Thimbletack the brownie.
He has left the nearby house to await you on your journey.
He will help you get to find the the right path through to find the hidden Hobgoblin.
This little Brownie has allowed you to see him, but the others may not be so easy to see unless you find the Hobgoblin.
Be careful with Thimbletack as if he gets angry, he may turn into a nasty little Boggart.
When you find him, help him to be hidden once again so that the Goblins do not find him.
About Brownies (Family: Homunculus)
These kindly and dependable creatures (also called lobs, hobs or, if female, silkies) attach themselves to human households, where they help with chores and protect the well-being of people living on "their" land.
Thimbletack
Like all other creatures of the Invisible World, Thimbletack could become invisible and teleport at will.
A somewhat unusual ability was telekinesis: the ability to control objects without touching them.
Thimbletack always talked in rhyme and riddles.
Fiercely loyal, brownies will defend a home and its surrounding estate from burglars and goblins. They live somewhere on the land they protect, perhaps in an abandoned barn, an unused closet, or within the walls. Despite their love of cleanliness, brownies are rather shabby in appearance, often going shoeless or wholly unclothed. Even so, they expect no payment other than scraps of food and a bowl of milk left out at night; in fact, further gifts are likely to induce adverse effects.
Shuffling sounds at night can be a sign of a brownie; the careful observer may be able to spy one at work if he or she can sneak up quietly enough. Even if not actually seen, the brownie may disappear in the middle of completing a task, leaving proof in the form of half-finished mopping or partially washed dishes.
Unusual organization of items is also common in houses with brownies. A brownie may alphabetize books by the middle initial of the author's names or file records by the titles of favorite songs.
Industrious themselves, even the gentlest of brownies hates laziness in others. If taken advantage of, or otherwise ill-used, the brownie may become a boggart. whose mischieves was mean, cold-blooded and very irritating.
