Hail, mighty users!

For years--or, months--you have been active upon this site; browsing through Forums, participating within Contests and Clubs, posting Reviews and Works... You may believe that you have been familiarized with the site, a well-traveled user with the greatest of expertise! But, how well do you truly know the pages and writers that dwell within them?


THE CHALLENGE:


Periodically, "Scavenger Hunts" will be posted upon this Forum. The term being used loosely, you will not be locating miscellaneous items. Rather, you will be searching for clues that will guide you to a final prize! Though, you should not anticipate the clues to be simple--whilst some may be, others will be complex and cryptic. Truly, your success will serve as a testament to your prowess within the realm of logic, reason, and adventure!

THE BOUNTY:


Prizes will generally vary, but will often include:

[*]Points
[*]Reviews
[*]GOLD!

This "GOLD!" will serve as a score system for a leaderboard, as well as to allow you to purchase perks--which will come soon--that will assist you within your journies!

HALL OF HEROES:

Spoiler! :
-@Tuesday . . . ONE(1) GOLD!
-@CaptainSaltWater . . . ONE(1) GOLD!


MAY YOU FIND PROSPERITY, TRAVELERS!

HUNT I: "THE SURVEYOR"


To whom it may concern,

I require your services for surveying a region near the river. My informants inform me that it bears vast gold and iron resources, which would surely thrust a man into the elites of affluence. I would like you to confirm these tales. Whatever loose treasure you may locate, you may keep. So long as you return to me with honest information.

For the matter of secrecy, I cannot readily divulge the location of this river. Rather, attached is a message that, when deciphered, will guide you there.

,Yours truly, Sir Cade Tyran.



THE CLUE: "CIPHER"

HQTOGTNA HQTV.
L3R5


THE BOUNTY: CLAIMED

-Thirty points
-One GOLD!

I think I will take part in this hunt. I'm reading "Inferno" and my inner Robert Langdon is smirking.

Huh, I wonder if the L3R5 is a hint to deciphering it...

*frantically Googles different ciphers and codes*

I tried substituting each letter for the letter following it and got "Iruphuob Iruw"... I doubt that's anywhere near right.
When I switched my method around and tried substituting the letters for the ones before them I got "Gpsnf--" yeah, no, gibberish...
