Amberel recommended this cache to me soon after it was published. He also suggested to think twice about taking children without being sure they were well disciplined. Now completed, I second this very good advice.

The first night that I looked at the puzzle I could not make the figures read correctly, my workings looked promising, but I couldn't get a 'success'. I got irritable as I knew my maths were correct. The second night after consuming the majority of a Trauben Brand bottle, feeling very relaxed, and slowly reading the whole page once more I had a ding moment shortly followed by a 'success'. Not the most healthy of methods, but it worked for me. Once I saw what was required and where, I set to work to find other brave enough souls to face the Inquisitor's tasks.

Our team for the day included myself, xJammmzy (MyNameIsJames), two of PigDogBoyGirl, Electric Sparrow, ES's brother and sister-in-law, and a little dog called Sparky. Two of the party were children, re the above; they were very sensible, I have been with both of them in these sort of areas previously. Horsley Hunter was to be with us too, but unfortunately due to an injury the night before sadly couldn't make it.

As James explained, we started off confidently. Over confidently, and made a mistake in navigation straight away. The map was then pulled out the backpack and consulted continuously throughout the adventure.

I had little idea what the tasks we would face would entail. After we had successfully completed the first, I wondered what the second would bring. The Grand Inquisitor I am sure will be pleased to hear that the second task he set gave me cold sweats and sweaty palms whilst the task was executed. One eye on Sparky, the other darting among the others. "No one slip! Please God no one slip!" rang through my mind, but I had to keep a cool a face as I could until the task was complete.

As for the third, many of the team enjoyed this. Sorry, yes, enjoyed! This was not so torturous. If we hadn't come so prepared, it could well of been. Though Electric Sparrow seemed to scale a good part of it effortlessly, and a couple of the others had a good try too. I would say that I could learn a lot from her technique, but not sure I would. Along one of the more easier sections prior to arriving to that stage I had been following right behind her dancing over deads, trying to match her every foot placement and I managed to stumble over.

To complete this was truly a team effort. Everyone helped, I can't go into details with exactly who did what and where though as it would give spoilers. To think that James and I alone were going to attempt this after completing h4ck3r a few weeks back is now an insane thought. I am relieved that James was too cold and tired to do anything else after we finished that one. Thank you to the whole team, a great effort! And thank you to the Grand Inquisitor, you have certainly outdone yourself this time. I shudder to think what else you could come up with.
