The Ultimate Chessboard: Chaos Unraveled

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.)

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 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 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.)
