Here are the Scavenger Hunt rules.

1) Read the clues.
2) Guess the answers (items found in Valorn).
3) DO NOT POST THE ANSWERS. Send me your guesses by private message; I will be keeping track. (NOTE that you do not have to produce an actual item.)
4) You have one hour from the time I say "GO."
5) You may work in teams, but you must tell me who your team members are and decide who will be your representative (to receive prize). How you divide up a prize is entirely up to you.

Shieldwall Scavenger Hunt Clues

Postby Topaz » Sun Oct 28, 2018 11:33 pm

1
Sugary sweetness! Smacking of lips!
Taste temptation! Treats for all!
Crunchy! Creamy! Cravings abounding!
Young and old yell for me! Yum, yum, yum!

2
I am found in a field with flying foe,
where stalking fear stretches forth hands.
A curse like a cloud covers the remains
of restless battle. Their remnant am I.

3
My first is in jagged but not in ripped.
My second is in cat but not in dog.
My third is in cart but not in van.
What am I?

4
I fill a flagon with flavor's delight,
summer's sweetness, singer's refreshment,
from fruits that flourish in far-off groves.
No mind is made by me bewildered,
nor tongue entangled. Tell now my name.

5
In hidden hands I hold my secrets,
clever, crafty, quiet by nature.
No latch is lifted, nor leave granted,
until I enter. Answer my name.

6
In shape of Sunrifter sweetly I flourished;
then blade disemboweled me. Brutally crushed,
my body beaten, I bless the hungry
and comfort the cold. Now call my name.

7
I am spoils of a battle blind-fought in darkness,
under an artifact ancient and deadly.
Delve into danger, and dare to find
my sole remains, and speak my name.

8
Ornament am I, elegant, fair,
of fine filaments formed and woven,
found on a foe defeated in battle,
but still am strong. Now speak my name.

9
I am a wondrous wight, well-known in Valorn,
seen in shadow, showing the way
through paths and trails to treasure's finding.
I shine in a shield-hand. Say who I am.

10
Decay and carrion creep abroad
in the sinister sand. A stench arises
from gruesome graves. In grim battle
I am cut from a corpse. Call out my name.
