Clue scroll (beginner)

Challenge scrolls are logical problems posed to the player by an NPC. They appear in medium, hard and elite clues in Treasure Trails and have two steps to it: first, the player has to find the right NPC to speak to (when they get a cryptic, cipher, or anagram clue), and then they have to solve the riddle, to advance along their trail.

To complete the scroll, view the question on the scroll, then speak to the NPC which gave it to provide the answer. When the correct answer is provided, the challenge is complete, and the player will receive either the next clue, or the reward.
