Branch sat down slowly at the small table inside their cabin and it began to read out loud from the letter...

" dearest mr. and Mrs. Blockington , 

I hope that this letter finds you in good health as it has been many years since I have spoken to the two of you. When I received the news 5 years ago that the two of you had completed the mission to the jungle that you were sent on, I was filled with joy thinking of the Adventure and untold treasure that you had probably come across. POC admin was quite pleased with your work and happily showed me the relic that you had retrieved for him while I was visiting his castle for a weekend a few months after your successful return. 6 months ago while visiting a small Village on the outskirts have a distant Desert I was approached by an old voodoo doctor and storyteller.. he told me a tale of an ancient ruin occupied once by a thriving population of tribal block people.. he says it has been abandoned for hundreds of years. He also informed me that many Of the would be explorers who have attempted to venture to this area have never been seen again. As if he had not captured my attention already, his story climax described a secret room deep below the ruins containing a vast hoarde of ancient treasure! One item in particular is the focus of this letter and the object of the mission that I am offering you.. he told me of an item that he called a "dispenser" . It is an extremely rare block type that existed as a useful tool and trap mechanism in the distant past and one that is potentially still used in a parallel block universe..

So with all this said, I would like to offer the two of you another adventure. I desperately want this dispenser.. As I am quite wealthy I have very little interest in the resources and other treasure possessed within this ruin . If the two of you are still in the business of exploration and adventure I would like to propose you with the chance of acquiring riches!! On the back of this letter is a map. If you, my brave friends, would be willing to acquire the dispenser for me.. then you are welcome to keep the rest of the treasures within the secret room. Follow this map, and it will surely lead you to riches beyond your wildest dreams. Simply bring me the dispenser after you have completed your journey and the rest is yours to keep! You have proved yourself worthy many times in the past and I know you are the only people talented enough to succeed in this arduous quest! I shall keep the torches burning in expectation of your arrival. I'm certain you still remember where my home is located.. I shall have a cup of tea waiting for the two of you when you make it back successfully! I trust you both fully and will be sending you my prayers and thoughts during your journey.. good luck and Godspeed Mr and Mrs. Blockington!!

Sincerely Yours,

Edipus Solverlabs II "   

Branch finished reading and set the letter down on the table. He looked up at acorn who had been staring at him and listening intensely while he read. " what do you say honey? Feel up for another adventure?" She said with a smirk. Branch was silent for a moment then finally spoke .." well.. it sounds risky, dangerous, deadly, and uncertain.. so...I SAY LETS DO IT!!" They both stood up simultaneously and again gathering supplies from there chest boxes. " I'll get the shovels .." he said with a smile. " I shall grab the pickaxes !! " she replied joyously, adding.." this time let's bring a big stack of 64 steaks!! " 

By the time the two explorers had finished gathering there supplies, the night had almost passed. " only a couple hours until sunrise my dear.. come, let's take a quick nap and we can head out at first light. " the two lovebirds laid down together upon there wooden bed. And rested their heads upon soft blocks of light grey wool.. slowly drifting to sleep. That night their dreams were of adventure and danger. But dreams could not compare to what they were about to experience.
