OOC: The first two didn't work out, so I'm going to ask that no one joins half-way through. Thanks. How this is going to work: Each member of the quest will write a clue at some point during the RP. I'll do the first one, but I'll make it easy so as everyone gets a turn at writing. BIC: *Ashnel begins to hand out the riddle, keeping back a few spare copies in case anybeast loses theirs. The squirrel Captain has clearly made extra effort to make his paw-writing legible, and though the riddle is not as enigmatic as any of Terragons, at least the following words can easily be read: Think of me, as paper in a square, Hiding in the singers' lair, If I could sing too, I'd sing a song to you, I whisper a song to the willows, How they'd understand? Who knows...!*

*Regen reads the riddle, frowns darkly, and says, *Another one? *He reads it again. *Maybe it's in the tavern.

*Ashnel looks a little crestfallen, even though the clue was an easy one. He nods.* The Whispering Willow, where the singers sing and drinkers drink. Lead the way, Regen.

*Really!? * Regen looks up, apparently having made a wild guess. * *Cool. Lets go! * He starts for the Whispering Willow, still looking suprised. *

*Engel tags along with her copy, scanning the rhyme again as she walks. She hadn't thought to take her spectacles out, and squints a little, nodding.* Whisper, willows, square -- right, the town square. Of course. *She laughs a little to herself. It's really been too long since I tried my paw at any riddled. No wonder I'm rusty.* Where is there paper in the tavern, though?

Maybe a menu or a flier?**Ammy squints at her riddle paper and wrinkles her nose as she often does when she's puzzled.**

Or another riddle. *Terragon suggests, hurrying up behind the others.* I tried to leave without you, Terri. *Ashnel tells her pointedly, to which the red squirrel answers nonchalantly:* I know. No guessing the answers though. *The leaderess mimes being unable to talk and Ashnel nods, satisfied.*

*Terragon smiles.* Run out of potcheen, then, Geordie? *She glances over the grey squirrel's shoulder at the riddle.* Or have y'decided you prefer Terralux to Heather Hall?

*Terragon nods cheerfully, but suddenly, the mention of the Northlands reminds her of something.* You don't happened t' remember Scruffear, do you, Geordie? *Ashnel glances back and bites his lip.*

Thrukka, Robin's friend, killed Scruffear. *Terragon chokes, and thankfully, at this moment, Ashnel calls, purposely loudly:* Well, here's the Tavern. Shall we look for the next clue, then?

*Geordie, gives Terragon a sharp look, then softens it as he realizes how much the scruffy vermin meant to her. He gives her a quick hug.* It's all roight lass...come on then, let's watch these clever snips figure oot Ash's riddle...

*Terragon nods, and attempts a small smile. Ashnel meanwhile turns to Regen expectantly. At this point, Terragon notices a scrap of parchment tied to the swinging sign above the Whispering Willow Tavern's door.* Look... *She whispers, pointing it out to Geordie.*
