Five enchanted gemmed clockwork eggs of Gnomish make were stolen from the royal treasury by unknown theives. They were to be gifted to various favored friends of the High Queen Alicia for the celebration of Greengrass.
A reward is placed for finding the four missing precious gifts before they are transported off the isles to less savory locations.*
(descriptions of each egg will follow in the coming posts. This special scavenger hunt will start on Sunday midday and can be done w/o a Dm. More to come))

*An ornate scroll was delivered unto the High Queen's Scribe. Listed was a series of mysterious riddles, no inquiry for a ransom, and signed with a finely scrolled "F" decorated in sea creatures.
The High Queen herself has cautioned that this no more considered a theft as much as a prank by an "old friend" however she does ask that the best of her people find her daughters Greengrass presents with great discretion and seriousness for her "old friend" is rather eccentric and prone to flights of magery unheard of.*

The Egg of Love, Ruby cut resides, the center gem of the Moonshaes Isles. It dwells bestride the Shining Sea, the boney Mountains vantage will show to thee.
The Egg of Truth, it's sister same, upon the mountain's heights remain, there is no fare, there is no toll, but by the Gods, beware of Trolls!
The Egg of Wealth, an Opal Fire, sit upon the our northern shoulders in hills of the high spires. Tall and High, the ruin, abandonded, a magic haven echos overran.
The Egg of Fertility, an Emerald bright, lies deep slumbering in the Isle's womb of light. While small voices sing it's sleepy swim, the lifeforce southerly trickles in.
The Egg of Purity, a Diamond clear, lies deep among the bones of fear. There darkness reigns, and evil ways, in the piratical haven, thier end of days.

Rumor says at least three adventurers met their end in the mountains outside Hammerstaad, looking for eggs.

*the queen sends her regards to the famlies of the lost adventurers a bit angrily and sends a group of messengers suddenly southward, to Corwell Isle, and the southward more to the tip. No one knows the message they bring.*

*Bu wanders towards a royal guard or messenger and reveals he was part of a band of adventurers who retrieved two of the missing clockwork eggs.
He mentions the names Hulurin, Marcus and Rags as those who shared the deed to retrieve the first egg from the swamps of Myrloch against many Fey hostiles... the Egg of Fertility.
He then mentions his comerades in arms, then joined by Hrut, a warrior of the Red Knight, and Ramuras another warrior follower of the same, succeeded in locating and destroying many powerful undead to retrieve the Egg of Rebirth in the mountains.
He says he could not venture further with the band, but wished them good luck in their search for more of the lost Eggs.
When he left them, he tells the guard the Egg of Fertility was being held by the man known only as Rags, and that he himself handed the Egg of Rebirth to Hulurin, a hin scout, until they returned from their travels, to meet in Caer Callidyr and claim their shares of the rewards.*

*oddly enough the "Egg of Rebirth" is not on the list. The Royal Guard is very curious to see what it's properties hold?*

((OCC since the hunt is done..IF you had taken or found IC a map of the moonshae isles:
Cloud_Dancing wrote:The Egg of Love, Ruby cut resides, the center gem of the Moonshaes Isles. It dwells bestride the Shining Sea, the boney Mountains vantage will show to thee.
The center gem of the Moonshaes is Moray Isle. The boney mountain is the Orcskull. The Shinning Sea is a Map point were the chest was located.
The Egg of Truth, it's sister same, upon the mountain's heights remain, there is no fare, there is no toll, but by the Gods, beware of Trolls!
Also on Moray Isle, the sister mountains, the Trollscar is where that chest was.
The Egg of Wealth, an Opal Fire, sit upon the our northern shoulders in hills of the high spires. Tall and High, the ruin, abandonded, a magic haven echos overran.
The northern shoulders is Alaron Island on the map. High = Far, Tall/High = height thus Farheight Mountains at an abandoned Wizard Tower in those mountains not far from Whitestone Mines.
The Egg of Fertility, an Emerald bright, lies deep slumbering in the Isle's womb of light. While small voices sing it's sleepy swim, the lifeforce southerly trickles in.
This one is easy with a map. The lower island on the Moonshaes is Corwell. The southerly trickle is the river leading south through the Vale into the Myrlock which if the land was a person would most definately be womblike. Small voices naturally are the fey.
The Egg of Purity, a Diamond clear, lies deep among the bones of fear. There darkness reigns, and evil ways, in the piratical haven, thier end of days.
This last one, is in the pirates haven, aka Skaug. Hidden among scary bones..where pirate's meet the end of their days? The Skaug Crypts.
