Daffy Quest

[When you arrive to the daisy patch, you'll find the hatch hidden under the grass just at the edge of the meadow, before the mist overtakes it. The dark stairs are waiting for you to descend.]

Proceed! (Ping Ash for any decisions that don't have instructions!)

Another skeleton presides in this room--it's a sheep skeleton, but it appears to have fangs. It immediately rises from the platform to scrutinize the intruders, speaking in a gravelly rumbling voice.

Answer me this, intruders: A shepherd goes to market and buys a wolf, a sheep and a cabbage. On his way home, he has to cross a river by boat from one side to the other. The boat can carry only the farmer and one other thing – the wolf, the sheep or the cabbage, so the farmer will need to make a few trips to boat all three over to the other side. During the boating, he will always have to leave two things on their own on the banks of the river. For obvious reasons, the wolf cannot be left alone with the sheep – he will devour it. The sheep cannot be left with the cabbage, because she will eat it. How then, can the farmer transfer all three to the other side of the river, leaving them all intact?

. . . Take the sheep to the other side. Go back, pick up the wolf 'n bring it to the other side. Take the sheep 'n bring it back to the original side. Take the cabbage over to the other side. Then go back 'n pick up the sheep.

[WHY NOT JUST EAT THE CABBAGE AND THE SHEEP]

. . .

Imagine it's a delivery job, instead'a buyin' 'em for yourself.

OH that makes sense.

[SHEEP SKELETON SIDE EYES RUGGIE BUT DOES NOT COMMENT ON THAT INNER THOUGHT]

Correct.

[a single key falls to the ground, with a dish ornament on its end]

[ picks it up ]

That should be both'a them. Let's go.
