Month of the Greats - Ithi & Rhea's Excellent Adventure

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

...could we have scones instead? or perhaps a fried candy bar?

[Elaevia]

one deep fried Mars bar for the kitty!

 

[Gudrean]

I was gonna say Joan of Arc, but yas beat me to it, ah well fried candy bar sounds good...

That Haggis animal was amazing Via 

 

Also for future reference guys - scones are awesome, deep fried mars bars...not so much.

 

I have no idea for the clues at all but feel like a bad Scot for not getting the Robert the Bruce one 

 

Have some irn bru while we are waiting for someone smarts to come along 

 

[Ithillian Turambar]

They're made from girrrrrderrrs.

I sincerely hope that is an urban legend 

[Ithillian Turambar]

Would the Advertising Standards Agency allow them to say it if it were not true?

 

 

Anyways ... we are pretty sure it is Joan of Arc - now we just need to find the location that will release the next clue. It says she is now 'clad in gold' - perhaps that will help?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

Paris, Place des Pyramides ?

 

there's gold statues of her everywhere but...

[Ithillian Turambar]

I think that might be it! But that would mean we have to travel to Paris. Does anyone mind?

 

*books everyone back on the train - and then on the Eurostar through the Channel Tunnel to Paris*

 

You know, I swore I would NEVER go through that tunnel :shudders:

 

Anyway, my ridiculous fears aside, here we are in Paris!

 

Ithi set the group of Questers to checking out the maps and directions and they all walk to find the Place de Pyramids

 

There's the statue. Let's see if it works.

 

*click*

 

 

The iPad's screen goes dark and the following words appear

 

Joan of Arc was a Bearer of Excalibur.

 

 

They had successfully found another Bearer. This was getting exciting. They crowded around the iPad to watch for the next clue appearing. It didnt take long for the screen to go dark again and then the next clue appeared.

 

 

A study of men and war and gods. Divorce laid anon unscrambled. My steed never ridden.

 

 

 

Our Quest continues ... unless anyone wants to hang out in Paris for a little while

[Ithillian Turambar]

Well done everyone. We are making great progress :)

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

:)

 

imma take a while to recover from the Chunnel myself...

[Nishfa Aishath]

Golden Statue of Joan of Arc.....? 

 

I'm not sure if any is in scotland though.

[Nishfa Aishath]

Oops....Embarassing... 

 

Lol thats  what u get when you no hit refresh.. la

[Ithillian Turambar]

You must have fell asleep on the train. I always used to fall asleep on the train when I was a student - but my stop was the last one so I never missed it lol.

 

I think it's the rocking motion

[Crimson_Ayla]

Divorce laid anon is Leonardo da Vinci I finks

[Niniel]

Is it Troja?

[Niniel]

Or do we only go forward in time?

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

the louvre?

[Ithillian Turambar]

We need to find the current location by finding all of the past Bearers. So we move forwards through the years Bearer by Bearer.

 

Although as we found with Joan of Arc - the actual location or item we need can actually have been created afterwards.

 

I think Ayla might be right with Da Vinci though - clearly whoever created this quest is very tricksy making up anagrams and stuff I wonder if the last part of the clue can help us find the location or item?

[Turin Turambar]

*sits down at little cafe for crepes and coffee*

 

Ithi, can I borrow the iPad?

 

Thanks.

 

*starts playing Angry Birds*

[Ithillian Turambar]

If you wear the battery down you are going to be in big trou ...

 

Oooooh chocolate pancakes!

 

 

 

 

*wonders if everyone else is trying to work out where the next clue can be found*

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

(trying to catch up at work but smarter ppl will be here tonight for sure)

[Elaevia]

will look for clues in a minute, first though:

 

 

 

some lovely chocolate crepes for everyone!

[Crimson_Ayla]

Well somebody commissioned da Vinci to build them a horse sculpture which was never actually completed. There is a replica that was built from the original designs several centuries later in Milan.

[Mrs. Cindy Gill]

you haz a vair smart...
