In lieu of actual presence, a barely coherent note is scribbled and posted at the Shack.
Cosmic Locks, Unbreakable Rules!
If one has not the proper tools...
Iron-bound paths open to me
With a turn of one little key
Do not tamper with what starts pure,
Change not forms beyond ideals
Flexible is the body's mold
Beyond that, the Astral Seals
All doors were made to be opened!
All rules were meant to be broken!
And even under lock and key,
The truth may still be spoken
'Round the world there will be hidden
Truths some gods have deemed forbidden
(And lest they seek to apprehend,
With all these keys we'll play pretend!)
-
A note slapped below it.
In a cavern of glacial ice,
Past reach of ships to roll the dice
In cold for which there are no cures,
This glowing bead simply endures
That frozen hole is not for me
(I settled for a simile)
Fingers falter! Should have written in warmth!
Please find me before they are removed
And used to chill drinks
Rhymes are for tall people

[INDENT]The key to Vitality's lock
(Which I guess is still just a rock)
Glows stalwart amidst all the ice
(Goblins are not at all nice!!)
But across the seas of Khalrrî,*
In a shrine devout to despair,
Between implements of torture,
Frailty was kept hidden there
Here I can see the hand of death
I think pink would suit him better.
*Anyone with a half-decent lore can see the name doesn't match anything. Someone with an astronomical lore might know it doesn't match any old ones, either. Weird mistake?
((Should anyone find any of these, letting her know the names of those that found it and what it said will merit minor reward...))[/INDENT]

A nancy elf named Raz claims the finding of the first pair! Vitality and Frailty, code names Frogmuffin and Whirlygig! Hee hee...
Only ten more to go...
-
[INDENT]Boggy, marshy, full of trolls.
And stunted companions with illusions dressed to kill.
Few attempts to disguise this "verdant" destination
Repulsion did its work just fine
Good luck to those without divine aid
Or the cleverest of sneaks
In getting to the bottom of THAT cave
They have better eyes than most.
Not a single line is uniform or rhymed...!
That makes me happy.

PS: No, seriously, good luck.[/INDENT]
((No, really...))

[INDENT]I almost forgot to say
That Nancy Raz (or is it Razzy Nance?) has won another.[/INDENT][/COLOR]

The Lady has a sense of humor
As the key to deftness had to be surgically removed
From the body closest to the one that sought it
Very funny, Lucinda!
A home of a healer that was is locked in Her city
Inside the bed where she recovered
Can I get more explicit than this?
If only so Nancy does not get them all.
