Gretchen slings her musket over her back and groans, "I think we could all use a clinic considering how badly we got hurt."

"All I got was a gash on the arm!" Rix growls as she displays her wound for both ladies to see. "Even still, we need to get some healing. If those things were able to deal that much damage to us as a group of three, then there could be more that we'd have to fight when we go to rescue Forjod," says Gretchen.

"What's it matter to you Gretch? This gash is nothing!  I'll take on his entire band of captors if I have to!" Rix shouts as she shifts her gaze in the direction of the ruins.

"What's it matter to me!? Look at us!  I took a mace to the chest and Reby here has a few wounds of her own!  Stop being so arrogant and learn to take care of yourself for once!  Would your husband want you to risk your life so recklessly in a solo rescue attempt?" Gretchen screams at Rix, bits of saliva shooting from her mouth.

Rix gives Gretchen a menacing glower, but she doesn't say a word.

The paper is a letter of sorts, though some of the words are smudged it is still legible. It reads:

''My dearest son Henry,

''If you are reading this, it means that I have moved out and taken most of my valuables with me. Most. I say this because I have left behind something that was very special to me that I now want to pass down to you. You loved watching the stars as much as I did whenever we spent time together in the observatory or as you liked to call it, "The Stargazer's Platform". Ahhhh those were the days.

Anyway, what is locked behind that drawer is something that I'm confident you will find to be very useful in your studies, but like I've always said, you want something in life, you have to earn it. As you've probably noticed by now, those buttons will come into play, but don't fret, you don't have to press all six, but you will have to press them in the correct order.

Below are a few riddles for you to solve that will help you figure out the right sequence.

Riddle 1- My kind are common around the forest. To be common means that we are often hunted by predators and humans alike, therefore I must rely on my swift feet and bone weapons for my survival. Skilled hunters like to hang my head on a wall as a trophy. What am I?

Riddle 2- I am often either fishing by the river or sleeping in my cave. I also enjoy sticking my muzzle into bees' nests for that sweet taste of honey regardless of the tiny insects' negative opinion of my intrusion. You would be wise not to provoke me, as you may soon find me coming down on you at a frightening speed. What am I?

Riddle 3- I am a popular inhabitant of the farm, though you may see a few of my kind wandering around the grassy plains or the mountains. Much of the clothing you see comes from me. What am I?

Answer these three riddles correctly, and the prize is yours. Don't worry, the device will reset each time you fail, so you won't get locked out permanently.

Best of luck to you, and may the stars be forever bright!''

Love, -Uncle Edgar''
