Chapter 1 - "Lumbridge Confidential"
Day 1 of the Cryptic Clue Fest
The sun had begun to dip slowly beneath the horizon, bringing another quiet day in Lumbridge to a close.
I was making some final adjustments to a log I was writing when I heard the sound of somebody knocking on the oak, front door of my humble home.
Cautiously, I approached and opened it slightly to peek outside. To my surprise however whoever had knocked had vanished, leaving only a single, large, envelope sticking out of a crack in my door.
The envelope’s large, red; wax seal was emblazoned with a strange symbol. I carefully plucked it free and headed back inside to open it.
Within the envelope, I found a piece of folded parchment and a hastily written note. Placing the folded paper aside, I began to read the note;
I was told that if I ever felt I was in danger, you were the one person I could trust.
Something of great value is threatened by greed and those of ill will; I assure you this is no joke, but a very serious cry for aid.
I have included a clue that you must solve. This clue will reveal my identity and a selection of items you should carry with you so I know you have solved my challenge. I must be certain of your skill and your identity, you see.
I will explain everything when we can speak safely in person.
Trust no-one!
I knew that whatever I was being dragged into was trouble, but curiosity pulled at my hands, urging them towards the so-called ’clue’ and I found myself unfolding it...
I had expected some sort of anagram, a riddle or code to break. I found myself a little shocked by what I discovered...
my shopping list
Remember tO Deliver Documents on thE way to the ClerK.
Bucket
RING mould
3 PIeces of caKE
2 ruBber tUbes
Concentrated KhalphitE spiTS
10 FingErs from A newT
HERbal teaS
The bizarre shopping list was written in the same script as the note, but the grammar was incredibly poor. This didn’t seem like any clue or puzzle I had come across in my life, but there had to be something more to it.
The person who had written this clue and the letter were the same person, I was sure. So why was this one written so strangely when the other had been written normally?
An idea struck me and I took my notebook out and I began to write down all the things that stood out in the list and soon an answer began to emerge.
