Our heroes were in quite a pickle. They had been tricked into releasing a wicked wizard from his frog body and now must beat Lord Moldywart in an epic geocaching game. CaladorGCS led the team down a rarely used path in the Mine Falls woods and stopped near a pile of large rocks and boulders. He explained that this was the meeting location of the Order of the Geocache, a group of geocachers dedicated to preserving the geocaching world. They were tasked with stopping muggles and other ne'er do wells from destroying or stealing the geocaches of the world.
“Why would these people agree to help?” asked The Fisherman.
“Well if the world is destroyed then geocaching is destroyed isn't it?” explained Calador.
“Seems legit,” said CycloneSteve.
“Brothers and sisters of the Order of the Geocache come forth!” exclaimed Calador.
Nightfall was fast approaching and even now the woods concealed many secrets in the waning light. Suddenly several lanterns gave away the positions of the other geocachers. About a dozen geocachers appeared including Cache K.A.B., DL^2, Sloth96, twilighter, danten66, and pvtplt172 among others.
“Members of the order, welcome and thank you for coming on such short notice,” said Calador. “My associates and I have discovered a terrible secret that may be the end of the world as we know it! An evil wizard threatens the world. We have agreed to challenge him by finding a geocache. We need you to place one for us to find and help save the world.”
This news was met mostly but skepticism. Many thought Calador was joking while others were angered for being called out for something like this. Some even left but a few geocachers agreed to hide a challenging cache including pvtplt172. The those left in the order quickly left and hid two caches for the challenge.
Alone again, CycloneSteve spoke, “So these caches will be hard to find?”
“Of course, they will be of equal difficulty,” said Calador. “However with two geocachers on our side, I am certain we will win.”
The order returned just before the hour was up.
“We hid another set of great caches,” said pvtplt172.
“They are equal difficulty but nothing the Great Cache Seeker can't find,” said Sloth96.
Lord Moldywart suddenly appeared looking more powerful than before.
“That was a good rest. I am ready to compete in this challenge fools,” said Lord Moldywart.
“Okay you will each be given coordinates to a cache to our south. First one to find their cache and return to the rendevous point wins,” explained Sloth96.
“Are you guys ready for this?” asked pvtplt172.
“Let's go, we are loosing daylight,” said The Fisherman.
“Okay ready...set...go!” yelled twilighter and our heroes ran off into the woods.
“Good luck guys,” said pvtplt172.
Congrats to the trio of cachers who found this one together.
