N AB° CD.EFG' W HJK° LM.NPQ'

In the mystical realm of Georia, a diverse group of adventurers assembled in Cachebrook. Aria, a skilled elven archer; Magnus, a formidable dwarven warrior; Lyra, a wise human wizard; and Kaelin, a nimble halfling rogue, joined forces with a shared purpose—to retrieve the Lost Ammo Can of GeeZee.

Their perilous quest commenced within the depths of the Whispering Woods, a dense forest shrouded in mystery. As they ventured deeper, they stumbled upon a hidden grove teeming with mischievous sprites. Aria, with her natural charisma, stepped forward to negotiate safe passage through their territory. The Dungeon Master (DM) called for a Charisma check, prompting Aria to roll a d20.

Click to roll Aria's d20.
Multiply the result by 3 to determine the value of AB.

The DM determined that her negotiation skills were just barely adequate, and the sprites reluctantly granted them passage, although not without challenging the group with a series of riddles.

Continuing on their arduous journey, the adventurers arrived at the treacherous Cave of Shadows—a labyrinthine underground complex reputed to be home to a fearsome creature known as the Shadow Serpent. Recognizing the imminent danger, Lyra, the wizard, devised a plan to unleash a potent fireball spell upon the serpent. The DM called for a spell attack roll, instructing Lyra to roll a d20 and add her spellcasting modifier to determine the success of her magical assault.

Click to roll Lyra's d20.
Add her spellcasting modifer of +5, then add 11 to determine the value of CD.

The DM ruled that Lyra's fiery projectile found its mark, causing the Shadow Serpent to writhe in pain. The battle commenced, with each member of the party rolling their respective d20s to determine the success of their attacks, while the DM rolled dice to simulate the serpent's counterattacks.

Click to roll the adventurers' four d20s.

Click to roll the DM's four serpent counterattacks.

Add all eight rolls together.
Divide the result by 3, then multiply that number by 29 to determine the value of EFG.

After a fierce struggle, the adventurers emerged victorious, their combined strength overwhelming the Shadow Serpent. As they cautiously approached the serpent's defeated form, they discovered a piece of the Lost Ammo Can concealed within its lair.

However, their journey was far from over. Legends whispered of a treacherous mountain range known as the Frost Peaks, where the final piece of the Lost Ammo Can was rumored to be hidden. Scaling the icy slopes proved to be a daunting task, fraught with peril at every step. Kaelin, the halfling rogue known for his nimble acrobatics, took the lead in navigating the treacherous terrain. The DM called for an Acrobatics check, asking Kaelin to roll a d20 to determine his success in evading the dangers that lay ahead.

Click to roll Kaelin's d20.
Add his impressive dexterity modifer of +8, then multiply the result by 4 to determine the value of HJK.

Kaelin skillfully evaded treacherous ice traps and maneuvered along narrow ledges, guiding the group safely through the treacherous mountains.

Finally, the adventurers reached the summit of the Frost Peaks, a desolate and windswept plateau. There, they encountered the formidable guardian of the final Ammo Can piece—an enormous ice elemental. Battle was inevitable, and the party readied themselves for the clash of steel and magic. Each adventurer rolled their respective d20s to determine the success of their attacks, while the DM rolled dice to simulate the elemental's retaliatory strikes.

Click to roll the adventurers' four d20s.
Add the four rolls together to determine the value of LM.

The battle was intense, with spells, arrows, and blades clashing against the mighty elemental. Aria's arrow found a weak spot, Magnus's hammer shattered shards of ice, Lyra's spells disrupted its form, and Kaelin's agile strikes exploited openings.

Click to roll the DM's retaliatory strikes.
Add the four rolls together, multiply that value by 15, then add 6 to determine the value of NPQ.

After a grueling encounter, the adventurers emerged triumphant, the shattered remains of the ice elemental strewn across the summit. With the final piece of the Lost Ammo Can secured, they began their journey back to Cachebrook—triumphant, albeit weary.

News of their heroic exploits spread throughout the realm, and the townsfolk of Cachebrook welcomed their saviors with jubilant cheers. The Lost Ammo Can of GeeZee was reassembled, its power radiating balance and harmony throughout Georia. The adventurers had fulfilled their destiny, their names etched into the annals of Georia's history as true champions.

This popped up in my email and I tok a quick glance at it and thiught ugh. Looked at it again yesterday & thought it wasn't as involved as it looked! It was fun to solve. This morning, I figured if there were any park & grab FTFs nearby and this popped up again, I changed my plans (Park Meadows Costco instead of the one on Santa Fe). Ran a couple errands (I really do prefer Santa Fe Costco) and then had to double back for the cache. I thought it was farther north than it was for some reason.
Quick grab once I got to the right spot & love the cache container!

Thanks for the fun puzzle and the cache.
