Attention all kids around the world!! While exploring an ancient unground ruin in Faribault Mn. I, the Howling Adventurer, discovered a long-forgotten group of goblins, hobbits, and trolls, who spread several crystals around a secret burial ground in MN. After spending many months deciphering the hieroglyphs I have determined that the crystals are hidden in Caron Park MN. I also discovered that the goblins, hobbits, and trolls plan to gather all the crystals on Halloween night and take over the world. YOU MUST STOP THEM BEFORE ITS TO LATE. But wait there is more!! Inside the secret texts it was revealed that the trolls placed a curse that blocks any adults from entering the secret burial grounds so its up to you kids. I need your help!!! If you choose to accept this mission you need to know you will be crossing dangerous rope bridges over roaring icy rivers. You will be climbing rock walls where one wrong step leads to certain disaster. You will also be navigating in spooky forests using only your compass and your wit. It is also important that you cloak yourself in a costume so that your true identity is never revealed. This challenge will not be easy!! Who among you are the bravest of the brave and are willing to help me save the world!!! (Did I mention free candy was involved)
