Hey all:
I'm opening this thread to first give you the hints that were offered in finding each of the treasure and trinkets in the hunt. It will also be a place to discuss, think and plan as we move forward.
Trinket #1: Brass Sand Hourglass
· HINT: Sand is what fuels the workings of the hourglass. Without it there is no true hourglass.
· LOCATION: Tiny Unmapped Island (25 Across/8 Down)
Trinket #2: Conch Shell with this Year’s Emblem emblazoned on it
· HINT: Many shells fill the beaches, but some are just before them in the shallows.
· LOCATION: Tiny Unmapped Island (58 Across/17 Down)
Trinket #3: Purple Teardrop Bottle with liquid inside (contents not told)
· HINT: Magic liquids made by magic are contained in a vial. Does the giant native alchemist
have one.
· LOCATION: Tiny Unmapped Island (1 Across/5 Down)
Trinket #4: Silver Octopus Broach
· HINT: Can silver and an octopus be connected. With this broach it’s possible.
· LOCATION: Tiny Unmapped Island (54 Across/15 Down)
I feel if we split up it may be easier for our competition to overtake us for the item?
Very cool pics and great to see the info on the trinkets. Defiantly need to plot out a course, now that we have the locations.
As for the boat I think will be our biggest competitor. I feel it will be the Blackwater. I feel being some type of crab thing, will have huge advantages on the water.
This is awesome information about the Treasure Hunt and the hints about trinkets. Seeing the out competing Ship Captains is really cool too. The bit of information that stood out to me that will be key to our success is the location in red. Especially how that locations pairs up with where we need to take the trinkets to win. The second is which trinkets we feel will indeed me the most difficulty to locate and retrieve quickly. For example- since trinkets two and four are close by it may be prudent to divide into two teams via smaller boats and retrieve both items at the same time. Just my two cents --
The competing Boats and Captain are the listed below: Enjoy taking a look and viewing your competition. Who do you see as possibly your biggest competitor for victory? These pics might be prominent in your sea voyaging career as they are captains of some of the other great ships that sail the Deacon Ocean. Maybe some are allies, some are indifferent, and some are enemies. The question is who are who?
