This is the final cache in the series. In order to find this cache, you'll need to use what you find in #s 1-6 to figure out where to go to locate the final cache. PLEASE do NOT take any of the "clues" within each of the six caches, as that would render the final unfindable. All the caches are placed in Indianapolis Parks Department managed land, with the exception of the final. All of the caches have limited hours of availability, due to posted hours of operation NO NIGHT CACHING!
Norlod the gnome emerged from his underground home this spring, just like every prior year. However, Norlod had an extremely bad winter and was grumpy beyond belief, so much so that the cavorting pixies he encountered upon coming to the surface filled him with such angst that he decided to make them feel as rotten as he did. Rather than give them an earful, he took it much further than anticipated. Norlod actually managed to ensnare six of the flying pixies, all around Indianapolis, trapping them with his magic and keeping them from flying free. Norlod was able to do this by using his magic and forfeiting one of his jewels to hold the spell needed to keep the pixie from escaping and flying away. The other pixies, once they realized what was happening, banded together under their queen to prevent him from capturing any more. They managed to capture him themselves and tied him up using their own magic, taking his beloved gems in the process. They let him know that they would only release him and return his gems to him if he would promise to show them how to free their fellow pixies. Norlod agreed and told them how to counteract his magic, thereby freeing the captured pixies from his spell. All they needed to do was recite the word on the gem and the pixie would be released from his spell. Once all of his captured pixies were released from their bondage, the pixies released Norlod, making him promise never to do anything like this again. The queen also let him know where his gems were hidden, by cleverly using Norlod himself and the very words on the six gems Norlod used to magically ensnare the pixies. Her revenge on Norlod was particularly sweet to the pixies because Norlod was unable to figure out how to retrieve his gems and to this day, they sit unfound, unclaimed, and awaiting someone clever enough to figure out the riddle of the queen of the pixies.
You are going to be one of the pixies that sets out to find all six fairies that Norlod captured and free them from their magical prison. Once you find all six fairies and break the spell that holds them, you'll need to figure out the riddle of the queen in order to locate Norlod, which in turn will lead you to his gems.
By this time the pixies, under the leadership of their queen, had taken up arms and called upon their collective magic to bespell Norlod so that they could prevent him from capturing any more of them. Once they actually managed to get their hands on him, they cast another spell that confused Norlod and then tied him up at a hidden location. You will need to find Norlod, as he is the key to finding his treasure. Norlod only recalled that he was at 46 minutes north and 7 minutes west before the spell took effect. He also never realized that HE was the key to his treasure, assuming instead that the queen's riddle had more to do with the pixies he had captured and the gems he had forfeited.
This final consists of two parts. The first part will require you to "solve" the riddle of the queen in order to locate where Norlod was captured and then held. This part can be done on any day, pursuant to Indianapolis Parks Department hours of operation. The second part of this cache will have a more limited time frame with which you can work with in order to sign the log and claim the find. You'll know where to go and what I mean by a more limited time frame, once you find Norlod and get him to tell you where to go.
First part of the final is located here and once found, will let you know where to go for the final part, where you can claim your find.
