The Quest for the Haunted Hoard

Hello Fellow Trappers!

The Quest for The Haunted Hoard begins! Before we start though, a few ground rules so you know what to expect. Aly will do her best to research and help you out but this is not an easy puzzle to solve. She will have a new hint every day as she continues her research. Once she shares it that's all she can help with till the next day so there's no need to try and use her to solve it as it won’t help. The quest can be completely solved without her help. She is just here if you want a hint that day. Use the dedicated thread to talk to Aly so the discord doesn’t get filled with spam. You will want to make sure you are on our discord. The quest will take you to various websites and platforms and this time it is non linear. No purchase is necessary to complete the quest and nothing is behind a paywall. This quest is much larger and much harder than last time and will take some real dedication to solve. There may be points where a password is required to progress. We recommend not spamming guesses as you will attract the attention of some very restless ghosts. All the answers can be solved and learned by following the clues. That being said, let's check out the prizes.

All who participate in this Quest will be able to receive 2 brand new STL’s created for the quest. Everyone can get them as long as they solve the puzzles to unlock them. The first person to make it all the way to the end will receive the Grand Prize.

• Paint Brush set from Chronicle
• 3 month Lychee Pro Membership
• 2 quest STL files
• The entire DTL STL Library

Now onto the Quest!

In a time long past, when autumn winds whispered secrets through the crimson leaves of the forests surrounding Traskvale, a group of intrepid adventurers embarked on a quest that would etch their names into the annals of history. Their destination was Traskvale Castle, a foreboding fortress nestled atop a craggy hill, shrouded in tales of dread and despair.

With steely determination, these valiant souls ventured forth, braving the castle's haunted halls and confronting Fellclaw’s animated corpse in a battle that would be recounted for generations. They fought with valor, their blades clashing against the ghastly visage of the dragon, until, with a triumphant roar, they banished Fellclaw back to his final slumber.

As the last echoes of battle faded, Lady Traskvale's tormented spirit was finally set free, and the curse that had plagued the castle was lifted. The adventurers exclaimed Traskvale Castle as their own, and it thrived for a time as a testament to their bravery and valor.

But, as the decades Tik ed pass, and the parties of heroes became more infrequent, the castle's grandeur faded, and it became a mere shadow of its former self. The once-proud halls grew silent, and whispers of haunting ghosts continued to shroud the castle in mystery. Rumors abounded that Myron Widdleton, one of the valiant adventurers from years of old, had hidden a vast fortune within the castle's labyrinthine walls—a treasure trove that had never been found.

"If you can uncover its whereabouts," the stories promised, "it's yours to keep." But the warnings came just as sternly: "Beware the lingering ghosts that still tread the castle's stone floors, for they guard the secrets of the past and the riches of the present."

And so, the castle stood in quiet obscurity, its treasure concealed within its ancient stones, its ghosts stirring in the shadows. The allure of adventure and mystery becks those brave enough to seek the elusive spoils of Myron Widdleton, and the echoes of the past whisper through the autumn winds, promising a quest that would forever be etched in your souls. Best of luck to those who dare to uncover the secrets hidden within Traskvale Castle.

You have decided to seek your fortune within the walls of this once great castle and now stand at its doors Direct. ly where those adventurers of old once stood before all those years ago. Your first clues are already somewhere in this post.
