RPG: The Search for Skeeter

[sugarbritchez]

*finds a mirror and admires herself in it*

I can't wait to get back and get a nice warm bubble bath.

*looking over at Kermit*

What have you found there Kermie baby? Is it a treasure chest?

 

[Beauregard]

All the Muppets run to the hut, and Kermit pulls open the trunk. Inside is an eye-fest of ornaments. Twinkling, shinning, glittering in the hazy light. Bangles, and bracelets, earings and toe rings, keyrings...er, yeah. You get the picture. The things are made of ivory, and decorated with all manner of jewels. Most form a part, or a whole elephant. A tusk, a foot, a head... everything is exquisite

These are amazing.

They move the chest out into the sunlight to get a better look, and find, underneigth, scrawed writing in the dust.

"The truth is in the tail,
The tale of truth is true.
The trunk holds the entrance,
and the foot holds the clue."

What the heck does that mean?

 

[christyb]

"The Truth is in the tail" hm...... Scooter did you find anything over by that elephant??

 

[Beauregard]

Not really. I could have another look. I'd only just got over there when you yelled.

 

[christyb]

And I'll go check out that foot. According to the riddle there's a clue there.

 

[Beauregard]

Yeah, but check this. The trunk hold's the entrance. What's that mean?

 

[christyb]

I don't know. Maybe there's something behind it. *moves trunk*

 

[redBoobergurl]

Does the trunk of the elephant move or something? Maybe it opens a secret passage way!

 

[The Count]

Hmmm... Me thinks there might be...
Some sort of opening in the elephant statue's foot Scooter?
Maybe it's shaped so that some particular trinket from that trunk Kermit found will fit in as the key and open up the secret passageway.

Then again...

 

[Beauregard]

Does the trunk of the elephant move or something? Maybe it opens a secret passage way!

Fozzie, good thought. An elephant has a trunk, and a trunk is a trunk. It could be ether. Or both. Just as tale is also tail.

The Muppet run to the elephant, and discover in fact that when they twist the elephant's trunk, a doorway is revealed on the foot. There is a lock, and after much searching one of the trinkets fits the lock, pushing open an entrance to the darkness beyond.

Inside the foot is a lader leadign down into an underground cave.

The Muppet climb down. The door slams shut.
