The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

After meeting outside Niflheim, Reno and Sam are given a piece of paper with the following cryptic instructions:

A nearby clinic may reveal
A blade that's meant to hurt, not heal

This healing bottle may be found
Where those that intoxicate abound

(ooc: In the clinic that Medusa set up while she was still in Niflheim, there is a dagger. It is ornately decorated and sitting somewhere it obviously doesn’t belong.

A potion bottle will be found in Jones Tavern, in a prominent position among the liquor bottles.

Flauros should be with them, but he seems to be missing.)

After meeting outside Niflheim, Belphegor and Jazz are given a piece of paper with the following cryptic instructions:

Upon the shores of a lake that glows
A tiny purple flower grows.

This sweet device of sound
Is found with sweetness all around.

(ooc: There are purple flowers around Luminous Lake. The flowers themselves are small, but they grow in large bunches, so they should be pretty easy to find.)

Inside a candy store in Emptiness, on top of a display of chocolate bars, there is an iPod. It seems to have a speaker and is spouting small snippets of various songs every few minutes. When the characters pick it up, the screen will be blank except for a message reading “You found me.” The song snippets don’t seem to respond to buttons being pressed, and there doesn’t seem to even be a place to plug in headphones. It is completely useless, except as an item to be found.)

After meeting outside Asgard, Christina, L, and Rude are given a piece of paper with the following cryptic instructions:

Where once mortal hands did heal life
Now mortal hands shall find a knife.

The healing bottle is one among more
Target practice is what the rest are for

(ooc: In St. Michael’s hospital, there is a dagger. It is ornately decorated and sitting somewhere it obviously doesn’t belong.

A potion bottle will be found on Asgard’s training grounds, lined up next to other bottles for shooting practice.)

After meeting outside Asgard, Elanna and Vader are given a piece of paper with the following cryptic instructions:

By a peaceful lake with water blue
Grows a flower with a similar hue

Bells once called a man to preach
Now they only call to speak

(ooc: There are blue flowers by Looking Glass Lake. They grow in several patches and should be easy enough to spot.

In a church in Emptiness, laying on the frontmost pew, there is a cell phone. It will ring every few minutes. When the characters pick it up, they will discover that it is displaying a text message reading “You found me.” Otherwise, it gets no reception and has nothing of interest on it. It is completely useless, except as an item to be found.)
