It was late summer and Pohka was resting when some animated bugs chirped up; “It’s almost Samhain (pronounced SAH-win), you must prepare us a Samhain treat!!!”. I replied, “Samhain is mine to claim my share so it’s mine to decide if I want to give you a treat or a trick. This year being special I will give you both! For see, to get the treat you must get through a pohka trick. The trick is simple, I will play a simple sidhe dice game and you’re to get where I’ve hidden the treat. This game requires 10 dice, each numbered 1-6, one number on each side, the number 1 for the sidhe, the number 6 for the un-sidhe, and 2-5 for each season. Each of the dice have a different color, white for all colors, brown for the earth, black for the sky, grey for balance, and blue, red yellow green, orange, violet, for the rainbow. I will shake the dice and order 9 dice as I please; from these 9 dice you’ll be able to determine a number. I will do this 15 times and each time I do this you’ll be cypher a number if you’re as sharpe as a pohka! These numbers will tell you where my treat is hidden!”. Here’s some dice to help you find the Northern point:

And for the Western point:

 Hints

First, pohka’s can’t lie! That means that you know everything necessary to find my treat!
Second, it’s not always what the pohka says but rather what is not said or shown!
I’ll have eyes one you when you search for my treat. That said, the beard is where the treat is.

Very fun “container”. Appreciation goes to the cache owner for this creative cache - both its puzzle and its placement.

After asking for a nudge on the puzzle a while back and getting just that -- a nudge, not a giveaway (thanks WingsAndTales!) we solved the puzzle. Finally made it to GZ today, around 3pm. Nice container ! Stamped the log, and were on our way. TFTC !

Avoided falling off the cliff but couldn't avoid the fence - got a little souvenir from that. At any rate, DustyKat and I found it after figuring out a way to get to it. Great puzzle and a great container - no lie. SL TFTC!
