    Scavenger hunt with Orowa - Day 2


    Despite the short night, everyone gets up full of enthusiasm. Even MOD_Safaia, who hates Adventures, can hardly wait to explore the island further.
    Hour by hour they struggle through the desert sand. "This sucks", MOD_Arylide complains, which makes MOD_Cerulean call her a cry-baby.
    Orowa on the other hand is seemingly unaffected by the heat and aridness. Majestically he hovers over the heads of the others and asks the mods mockingly why they carry the loot instead of using it.

    While MOD_Arylide and MOD_Cerulean are studying the area from above, the others take a nap.
    "Thunderstorm!", MOD_Cerulean suddenly shouts. Orowa listens up. Indeed, a giant cloud moves towards them. "That is not a thunderstorm, that is a sandstorm. WAKE UP AND HOLD TIGHT, we will fly above it!"
    Orowa's plan works. After a few hours the storm calms down. "Where are we", MOD_Safaia asks. "What a question, we already did not know before?", answers MOD_Arylide.

    Orowa shakes the sand out of his sheets and replies: „This has to be the cursed Coop-Triangle."
    His companions look at each other flabbergasted. "Can you see the strait over there? That is the entrance to the Sea of Coop." Owora points towards the beach ahead of them. "Here our next adventure will start“



    Can you solve this riddle

    Orowa leaves the group to get an overview. When he rejoins the others, he paints a very detailled map of the island in the sand.



    "You should be very silent and careful here, because the area is haunted by many gruesome creatures." Orowa points at the Forest in front of them.
    "As you can see, you can't see anything", jokes MOD_Cerulean. "You have to look more closely", whispers Orowa. And indeed you can see the beasts patrolling on the pathways between the churches. The two towers in the north are also visible.
    "Investigate the churches, you should be able to find more informations there", Orowa explains.
    "Ist Mister Ghost too good to do it himself?", rumbles MOD_Cerulean.
    "No, but there are enough creatures around this place which scare even me!", Orowa retorts sharply. „We have to split up. That way we are faster and reduce the chance to be spotted. Afterwards we meet here again.“
    With the first church our group has no luck. Dirt wherever you look.
    The next two churches are more interesting. Black candles, but only around the pulpits. In the dim light a figure appears. Which one is it?

    The wonder

    Miraculously, no one raised the alarm. Only the two monsters from the churches had to be gagged and tied up.
    Interestingly, both groups experienced exactly the same thing. With the difference that one of the characters called himself gatekeeper and the other keymaster.
    "From the churches it goes on", Orowa combines. "Should we examine both towers at the same time?" After a short, but fierce battle of words between MOD_Safaia, who believes that one is only strong enough together and MOD_Arylide, who is convinced of the opposite, the group agrees to split up again.
    What will they find in the towers?

    What is Orowa holding in his hands?

    The silence


    These open doors and chests. Sometimes these need numbers, but mostly these are just cold steel.

    Everything is ready

    "We have everything we need now. Let's move on immediately."
    Orowa doesn't even notice the empty and exhausted looks of his comrades-in-arms. This is the moment he has been waiting for, for a long time. He will show it to his aunt and also all those who ever doubted him. Tiredly his companions try to follow him.

    Their goal is shrouded in darkness. One does not see the hand before the eyes. A spooky place. Quickly some of the mods have to think about their encounter in the church. Light comes on. MOD_Arylide has lit one of the torches. They seem to be standing in a large mausoleum. Shadows dance on the walls as the group sets itself in motion. Only Orowa seems unimpressed. "Spirits don't fear darkness. Could you cut yourself a slice of it?", he notes flapsig. "Earlier in the church it looked quite different," replies MOD_Cerulean.
    What else will our friends find here?

    The opposite of everything?

    Very lucky

    Fortunately, poltergeists have developed a pronounced sense of smell over thousands of years and the fugitives do not seem to take it too seriously with personal hygiene. Orowa's nose leads the group away from the ruins and further into the middle of the dreaded Koop triangle. They reach a cruciform island.
    "Let's encircle the crooks," Orowa commands. Even MOD_Safaia seems to be too much in the bones for the day - so nobody protests. "But for heaven's sake be very quiet and keep your swords drawn!"
    Intruders don't like them here at all and so the group meets grim resistance. But Orowa is on their side and therefore clearly the advantage. What should become a fast campaign becomes a power-sapping mixture. But in the end the defenders have to admit defeat and those who haven't fallen will go further. Only leader Brandubh, the black raven is wildly determined to defend his rightfully captured treasure with his life. But when a ghost emerges from nowhere, the evil fellow flees quickly. What does he leave to our adventurers?

    But the victory can not be enjoyed for long, because suddenly whirlwinds come from all directions.
    Did they miss anything? Orowa falls like scales from his eyes and remembers the old stories about Brandubh. About his wild raids and his arts as a warlock.
    The whirlwinds ignite their full power and rip everything out of its hinges before the shelter. They must come up with something quickly. Asking Orowa looks into the helpless faces of his companions. Then he gets an idea. "MOD_Arylide, give me the booty! Then we all stand in a circle around the figure! "For chair dance we have now really no..."
    Even before MOD_Cerulean can finish the sentence, the adventurers are swallowed by a blue flash of light. At the last minute, because a little later the eye of what is probably the biggest hurricane ever seen by humans is milling its way through the safe house.
