Answer the questions & then ask another question? So answer & then ask. O.K. Where is the Knight of Cups coming from?

lunalafey	18 Dec 2003
the knight of cups came from a land far across the ocean, but why is he here now?

Bluemanticore	18 Dec 2003
He is here on a treasure hunt, looking for Coins. But first he has to find the person who has the map. Who is that person? Where is that person?

Majecot	18 Dec 2003
The Hermit has the map. He is hiding in the hills.. but do you know which hills?

Dark Eyes	18 Dec 2003
In the hills of mirkwood. Who was he was meeting there though?

Star Spirit	18 Dec 2003
He was meeting the Queen of Swords. But does anyone know why? ;)

Bluemanticore	19 Dec 2003
To give her the map to the treasure. The question is, who gets there first, the Knight or the Queen?

Mystic Zyl	19 Dec 2003
Too many questions. Can't we just focus on one?

ros	19 Dec 2003
Yes. Who will find the treasure first?

Bluemanticore	19 Dec 2003
The person who gets the map MIGHT find the treasure, if they can figure out the clues given for directions. (We'll get to that a bit later :) ) But which person will get to the Hermit first and thus get the map, the Knight or the Queen?

ros	19 Dec 2003
The Knight will get to the Hermit & the map first. Where will he find the Queen to read the directions for him?

Bluemanticore	19 Dec 2003
The Queen is just exiting the forest at the base of the Hermit's hill. What can the Knight do to convince the Queen to help him find the treasure?

Moonbow*	20 Dec 2003
..... He's begged her to help him. What transport do they use for their journey? (best keep it short I think?)

Agathe	20 Dec 2003
A chariot is the best for them. But where EXACTLY are they going?

Moonbow*	20 Dec 2003
... I think to the Moon. But, where do you think would be nice?

Jewel-ry	20 Dec 2003
I think they should go and find a new perspective. Perhaps they could hang from a tree, but which tree? J :)

Agathe	20 Dec 2003
The one that is in a powerful empire. Who do you think rules the empire?

Jewel-ry	20 Dec 2003
The emperor of course! But who do you think sits by his side? J :OS

Jen	20 Dec 2003
Well, it used to be the Empress. But they've since divorced and now the High Priestess sits by his side. But..why did they divorce.....and how does this relate to the knight of cups? ;)

ros	20 Dec 2003
They divorced because of the Knight of Cups love for the Empress & the Knight is going to the Hermit to get the map for the treasure. When the Wheel turns again, will we find what is on the map?

Agathe	20 Dec 2003
It is more complicated than that. They will have to look for the Fool, as he is the only one to explain everything. Where can they find him?

Jewel-ry	20 Dec 2003
Hes probably out walking the dog. However hes explained everything to the Page of Pentacles who will pass the message on. How will he do that though? J :OS

Agathe	20 Dec 2003
The High Priestess should know the answer and lead the Page. What is the easiest way to get to her?

Majecot	20 Dec 2003
Over the river and thru the woods? (sorry couldn't resist)

Bluemanticore	20 Dec 2003
So the Hight Priestess is going to lead the Page of Pentacles over the river and through the woods to the base of the Hermit's hill to meet the Knight of Cups and Queen of Wands so the Page can translate the map and tell the Knight and Queen what the map says regarding where to find the treasure. :) What does the map say? Clues, perhaps?

Agathe	21 Dec 2003
Well, they have to go through a meadow with a ruined Tower in the middle of it. More clues?

Bluemanticore	21 Dec 2003
Go the number of miles north as the blindfolded woman has swords, to meet the man on the grey stallion of the same suit. How many miles and who will they meet for the next clue?

ros	21 Dec 2003
They may have to go 2 more miles. They will meet a man that gives them money to continue on, but why is he holding the scales?

Agathe	21 Dec 2003
Because they are not the only ones who are looking for the treasure. Everyone who reaches the man will get the money...evenly. What is their next direction?

Bluemanticore	21 Dec 2003
They will go as many miles east as the woman with the bird has coins in her grape vineyard. They will meet a woman of great importance, sitting on a throne with a black cat. Who is she, where will she send them next?

ros	23 Dec 2003
She may be the Queen of Wands. She will order them to darkness & to take the middle path. As they reach daylight they will hang. But why?

Bluemanticore	23 Dec 2003
Because they meet the Hanged Man there, and he has something important to tell them. They will need to find the lady of the 8th Major Arcana card, for they will need what she has to open the heavy door to the treasure. But where is she?

ros	23 Dec 2003
She is in the woods looking for a lion. Will anyone find her to open the door to the treasure?

Bluemanticore	23 Dec 2003
To find her, they'll have to find the lion. Back to the forest they will have to go. Which road will lead them to the forest with the lion: the red brick one, the blue brick one, or the yellow brick one? :)

ros	23 Dec 2003
Of course the yellow brick road. They find out it leads to the mountain top with the Hermit. What information does he have & which way will he direct them?

LadyMedusa	24 Dec 2003
West down the trail to the rivers edge where they will meet up with a woman and child who arrive in a boat laden with swords.

Bluemanticore	24 Dec 2003
That will make the Queen of Swords happy, for she can use a new sword from their boat. Do they have something special to offer the Knight of Cups and the Strong Lady too? Perhaps more directions for them all how to find the treasure also?

ros	29 Dec 2003
They will be offered the horse of the Knight of Wands or the Chariot. It will take them 3 days to get to the other side of the desert where the next map with direction is located on top of the mountain. Offering the horse & only one may take the journey.Who will go to through the desert to get the next set of directions & do they choose the horse or chariot?

Bluemanticore	29 Dec 2003
The Knight of Cups shall go, taking the Chariot to be pulled by the Strong Lady's lion. The Queen gives to him her best sword, so he shall have protection from the dangers he will come across crossing the desert. As the Knight heads off, what will be the first challenge to meet him, and when?

ros	30 Dec 2003
The first challenge will be to untie the 8 of swords for she knows the direction to get out of the desert. They will get to her when the lion decides to move faster. What is wrong with the lion?

Bluemanticore	30 Dec 2003
The Sun makes the sand of the desert very hot during the day, it hurts the lion's feet. If they wait to travel by night to find the Lady of the 8 of Swords, the lion can move faster over the cooler sands, but the dangers will be greater also. Which to choose, move slower and a bit safer by day or quicker and more dangerously at night?

ros	31 Dec 2003
O.K. they will leave when the wolf howls at the Moon. It is full so it will be light out also. Does the 8 of Swords know they are on there way & when will they get to her?

Bluemanticore	02 Jan 2004
The Lady of the 8 Swords does know they are coming. They will get there a little after 1 in the morning, so they will still have some travel time after they untie her. When they meet her, what directions does she have for them?

ros	14 Jan 2004
The Lady of 8 swords will tell the to follow the Star untill morning & by then they find a man who has a boat & 6 swords.He will tell them that they will have to cross river to the other desert . They can only take what the boat can handle. What will they do when they get to the boat ?
