Time for Puzzles! Winner announced, you lousy non-voter people, you!

[Eggie]

The Rules:
Every week a post will be made with a list of items and a scenario. Using your wit, skill and large collection of 1950's Batrbie dolls; find a way to complete the scenario with the items provided. You can only use a set number of items of your own choice. When I say use your skill, use it.

For example: you have a boulder and a reinforced window. I advise not using Pick Up boulder, chuck through window. Think of something adventuresque to use.

Voting: After the week voting shall start.

What If I win?: you choose the next scenario and list of items. Then you post it for all the world to see.



Here is your quest: Rescue someone from something.
Here are the only items you can use:
A fish
A barrel
A painting
A chicken leg
An egg
A sword
A rope
A hook
A hammer
A branch
A flower
A net
A rock
A broom
A sock
A tooth
A brick
A portable TV
A gravy boat

You DO NOT have to use all of them. There's no limit on what characters and locations you have. Now go forth, and have some fun with it for God's sake...

Rescue the fish from the floating eyeball of doom!

Approach floating eyeball's castle

fish is visble at the window of the very very very tall tower. Need some way to scale the tower

Go to nearby village. In shop, shopkeeper has a rope and a hook for sale, but you have no money, just a sword.

Shopkeeper says he will exchange the rope for the sword, but not the hook.

Do the exchange

Other guy enters shop, and you explain your problem. He says that he'll buy your sword for enough money to buy the rope and the hook.

Talk to shopkeeper again. Offer to exchange rope for sword. He says, no, he always has to make a profit. The least he'd accept for a fine sword such as this is a portable TV.

Fuming with anger, storm out of shop and walk past the local wishing well. Small child stands beside well, crying

Ask child what is wrong. He says that some big boys threw his sock down the well. Ask for reward from child in return for retrieiving sock, he bursts into more tears. "Tough kid, thats how things work: no seemingly useless object that will turn out to come in handy later in return for your sock and I won't do it. Sorry, its not me, its adventurer union rules..."

Kid says, "well, there's all the other of my socks that they threw down there: every day for the last 4 years".

Tie rope to well, climb down, get the socks, climb up again. Give socks to kid, he lets you have one. Untie rope again.

Explrring village, see an old man watching a portable TV, with his manky feet up on a stool. Ask him to have the TV. "No, sonny, got to have something to keep me entertained". "How about sock puppets?" "Oh, I love those". Use sock as puppet. He's entertained, but as soon as you try to go off with nthe TV, he wants the sock puppet back again. Need some way to keep the sock puppet going without staying there. Try to put the sock on his feet, but they are too disgusting to touch.

Old man's neighbour is a lady baking rock cakes. She's using oven gloves on the cooker. Talk to her and ask for glove. She says she cant let you have it as she's baking rock cakes for her son. Go and see son: he's using rock cakes as a hammer on some nails, but they dont last very long, so he keeps going through them.

Go back to old mans house and ask to borrow his hammer. Take hammer to son of neighbour, who then stops using the rock cakes. Lasy let you borrow oven glove which allows you to put the sock on th eold man's foot. No wthe old man is entertained, so you can take the TV, which you give to the shopkeeper who lets you have the sword, which you give to the other guy in the shop who gives you the money to buy the hook!

Combine rope and hook.

Go back to castle, throw rope/hook combination at high window to climb up and rescue fish. Hook accidentally impales fish in the process....


And in this country they use eyeballs for currency 

[Synthetique]

Money wasn't in the list o' things you could have in the inventory!! 

Just kiddin.. Nice puzzle there. I would have written something like that, but better, if i'd written anything at all..

[Eggie]

Money is no object.

THE END...

Mine kinda sucks.

[Eggie]

That's pretty bizzare. But I've no doubt going TALK TO CAT would have given many vital hints that all all the cat needed to come down was a sword, a broom, a painting, a fake eyeball etc etc
