GATES UNTO VALHALLA

Oh Mighty and Wise Warrior, you have been selected to represent the Nordic Gods at Odin's Feast of a Thousand-and-Forty Swords! Also known as: SCANCON2018 (and Cory's 40th birthday). But if you wish to visit the inner sanctum of ScanCon Valhalla you must prove that your gaming skills have not waned with age. You must solve... The Trickster's Riddle!

Read the runic clue, review the music of the Gods, consult the Tower's Tome, walk through the Moongate, and enter the mystic number into the receptacle that appears. Only then can you enter the gateway to Valhalla!


The tunnel is damp and dark. Into this dreadful place you have brought with you a small parchment of paper given to you by the mystic oracle of bar'a'boo. She said it would aid you in your quest to find the secret gates to Valhalla. The parchment contains mysterious runes that the wise men of the village would not dare translate. It wasn't until a few days ago when you received a strange package by bardic courier that you finally had some idea as to what these runes mean. Stepping carefully, you narrowly avoid a tripwire, and finally reach the end of the ancient tunnel. Holding aloft your burning torch, by its flickering light you can make out an inscription carved into the wall...

Five digits must the number be
No more or less will work for thee
Take fight, and skill, and crystal ball
Calculate the truth and enter the Hall
