The Caretakers' Riddle

**The Caretakers' Riddle** is a quest in *Torment: Tides of Numenera*.

## Synopsis

The Memorialists have placed a whisperlock on the Necropolis' teleport terminal. It's impossible to enter the tombs beneath until the lock is removed.

## Walkthrough

* Speak to Motley in the Necropolis. Next, inspect the corpse on the floor. Close their eyes for a quick Gold tide boost and influence with Talira Kyo. Check the pockets to find a scrap of paper with the number 4135 and the name Najma.
* Talk to Talira Kyo in the Necropolis about the passcode. If you are Gold-dominant, she will believe your claims that you want to protect them and save the people in the Valley from the Endless Gate and tell you the code.
* Otherwise, you will need to see if there are other Memorialists who know the code. Head back to Ronos Cai'sul and he will mention that a backup plan was for them to find the name of the ceturl prince. Interact with the giant black cat idol enough times to learn it (Guni).
* Open the whisperlock.

## Alternate Solution

* Engage the cultists in combat and make sure The Last Castoff is killed.
* Exit the Labyrinth immediatley. You will resurrect in front of the cultists.
* Upon seeing you come back to life, Motley will fall to his knees in front of you and beg forgiveness.
* You now have 4 options:
	+ Tell the cultists to leave (no Tide increase)
	+ Forgive the cultists (moderate Gold Tide increase)
	+ Tell Motley he now owes Lord Inifere a death. Motley will have one of the cultists kill another (moderate Silver Tide increase).
	+ Break Motley's neck (moderate Red Tide increase)
* No matter which choice you make, the cultists will leave, Talira Kyo and the three mercenaries will survive, and Talira Kyo will tell you the code to the whisperlock. The only difference is that killing Motley will not allow you to obtain the scrawled note, which he drops after choosing any of the other three options.
Character Types

**Character Types** are determined by how a character acts in Poptropica. They may be a friend, who is supportive and helpful toward a good cause, an antagonist, who is opposed toward the good cause, or an indifferent character, who has no apparent opinion. More refined tags include Villains and Heroes.

## Friends

**Friends** are characters who generally are supportive and helpful toward a good cause. They are friends of yours and have little bad intention, usually none at all. To tell if a character is a friend, they must meet one of these requirements.

* If you help them with something and the help is taken nicely, yet may take a while.
* If a transaction occurs easily, where you do something for them and them likewise.
* They refer to you with a friendly adjective.

*This list is subject to discussion.*

## Enemies

Enemies are characters who generally are opposed to a good cause, and/or try to sabotage or prolong it in any way. This term is loose, so it can be applied to anyone who is generally rude or uses you to get what they want, or if they are simply in your way. To tell if a character is an antagonist, they must meet one of these requirements.

* Rude or unhelpful behavior.
* If they try to sabotage a good plan.
* If they plan to take something that isn't theirs.
* If they use you to get what they want.

*This list is subject to discussion.*

### Opponents

Opponents, while not completely hostile toward your character, are in competition with your character. Do not confuse opponents with villains, who are not afraid to harm/kill your character to reach their goal.

### Villains

Villains are a more specific version of Enemies - usually, a villain is in charge of enemies, and is the one behind the lever. In most cases, they'll have an evil plan to do something catastrophic to the Poptropica universe.

## Indifferent Characters

Indifferent Characters may not even be crucial to the plot, as they are characters with no outward opinion. You may talk to them, but you cannot engage in a transaction, or get anything from them. To tell if a character is indifferent, look over the above requirements for Friends and Enemies. If they do not meet any of those requirements, then they are indifferent.
One True Love

**One True Love** is a side quest in *Torment: Tides of Numenera*.

## Synopsis

Omahdon, a man I met at the Caravanserai, is looking for his lost love, Perseia. He says that she suffers from a madness that causes her to flee from imagined dangers, and he has been trying to catch up to her for years. Omahdon tracked Perseia to Sagus Cliffs, and he asked me to help him look for her.

## Walkthrough

* After talking to Omahdon, make a beeline for Tranquility's lounge. Examine the night table. Use  Might (Smashing) to force it open or  Speed (Quick Fingers) to pick the lock. You'll find the Antique Hair Clip.
* Return the comb to Omahdon, who will request that you talk to Tranquility and interrogate her as to why she lied to him. Tranquility will admit it - and point out that Omahdon himself is to blame. He states that Perseia and he met in the Valley and fell in love, when in reality, he is an obsessed, dangerous maniac who *resurrected* her from the dead, expecting her to fall in love with him.
* She will ask what you are planning to do. You can decide to try and convince Omahdon to let Perseia go, throw him off the trail, or try and bring them together. You can also use  Intellect (Persuasion) to suggest that Perseia put Omahdon in a trance - if you know of her abilities.
* Return to Omahdon at any rate. If you want to convince him to abandon his pursuit, you can purse that line of conversation and use  Intellect (Persuasion) to have him abandon it.

## Rewards

* Convincing Omahdon to abandon his pursuit results in just the experience reward.
Angler Fish

The angler fish is one of the aquatic animals that Cam Jameson instructs you to take pictures of.

The Sea Creature Files notes for it are: "This predator uses its unique biology to lure smaller fish close enough to eat them. You may need to offer it a feast in order to tempt it from the safety of its hiding spot."

 Gender

## Storyline

Cam Jameson wants a picture of the angler fish, but it's initially hiding in its cave, and you can't get the shot.

In order to get a picture of the angler fish, you must complete a puzzle to lure the angler fish out of its cave. You do this by moving around the area collecting tiny orange fish (avoid the sea urchins, it scares the fish and they swim away). Once you have enough fish, you can return to the fish's cave. The angler fish will come out to eat, and this will allow to you snap a photo.

Like the other animals, once you capture a photo of it, the picture in your Sea Creature Files will become coloured in, with the word [COMPLETED] stamped at the bottom of the page.
Varrenoth

**Varrenoth** is a character in *Torment: Tides of Numenera*.

## Background

This large and heavily muscled woman wears what appear to be rags that should have fallen apart ages ago. She looks so tired that it wouldn't be a surprise if she fell asleep on her feet. And yet, when she opens her mouth, her voice is energetic, like a little girl who's about to get a present. Varrenoth seems to be a construct, sent out by her people and not quite in control of her own body...

## Objective

## Previous pranks

### 2010

On April 1st, 2010, a new costume was added to the Poptropica Store named the April Fool. Strangely, this costume addition was not announced on the Creator's Blog.

### 2011

On April 1st, 2011, a new card was added to the Poptropica Store named the Prank Can. This card allowed the player to prank themself, or prank other players in Common Rooms. This update was accompanied by a Creators' Blog post which was comprised solely of an embedded YouTube video. The video, published on the Official Poptropica YouTube channel, showcases the features of the card.

## Storyline

### Role in Mythology Island

Aphrodite is the goddess of love. To gain her help, you must perform a task, which is to name some of the gods in a mini game. All you have to do is to look at the statues that pop up and try to guess it. The good thing is that it tells you how many letters that whoever god's or goddess' name has. After you complete the task, she will give you a magic mirror that will transport you to the realm of any major gods (Zeus, Hades, Poseidon, Aphrodite). It will only work if you have already been to the realm of the major gods at least once. The answers to the quiz are (in order) Ares, Hermes, Aphrodite, Artemis, and Hestia.

## Storyline

### Role on Shrink Ray Island

C.J. was one of Mr. Silva's students, and she won every science fair he ever held at the school. She became very popular and Mr. Silva realized he could get that kind of popularity (and money) if he stole one of her inventions. So he swiped the Shrink Ray she was planning on unveiling at the science fair and used it to shrink her down and kept her in his office to keep her quiet. She was able to contact a Poptropican who had also been shrunk through morse code and a telescope. She told the Poptropican that Mr. Silva was the thief. The Poptropican rushed to go find her, but Mr. Silva tried to shrink them down to an impossibly small size, which would probably destroy them. But the shrink ray bounced off of a mirror and hit him, which shrunk him down and caused him to fall into a jar of ants. The Poptropican and CJ reversed the gun and shot themselves to return to normal size and CJ used Mr. Silva as her science fair project, "The Incredible Shrunken Man."

## Trivia

* She was mentioned to have won three other science fairs.

As time goes on, more fruit will be added to the skewers and it will get harder and harder to keep the dot on the plate. The last person to hold onto their skewer wins, so make sure that's you!
Tabanid

**Tabanid** are cloaked humanoids who feast on the power and substance of structures across the Ninth World.

## Background

On the outside, a tabanid is a humanoid creature cloaked in mystery and several layers of material, over which is draped a trailing cloak of synth, shaped drit, and fused metal. Beneath it all (but connected by a sticky nerve tissue) is an insectoid with the ability to drain both power and substance from both objects and structures. Excess power makes its skin shine like a glowglobe, though most of that light is contained within the layers that wrap it. Excess inorganic material is mostly discarded as dross, though portions of what it absorbs become worked into the layers it wraps itself in or into the cloaks that trail it. The more elaborate the cloak, the more richly a tabanid has fed recently.

Tabanid are intelligent, but are rarely found together - only when they meet for an exchange of information and mating, usually in the belly of a structure large enough to feed a whole tribe of tabanid for years to come. But tabanid prize novelty, so they never stay in place for long, preferring to sample the taste of places they've never visited before.

## Abilities and Traits

##### Modifications:

Breaks objects as level 7. Stealth tasks as level 6.

##### Combat:

Tabanid can animate their long, trailing cloaks to become additional, deadly "limbs" in combat, thus giving them a reach of 20 ft. and allowing them the option of grabbing and holding immobile foes they strike. If a grabbed target fails a Might defense task, they can do nothing until they can escape on a later round.

In addition, a tabanid can also absorb worked materials ( which includes drit) by touch, healing itself for a number of points equal to the level of the material or component. Mundane materials provide one point of healing, synth provides 2 points, synthsteel 3 points, etc. If a tabanid holds its action until it's attacked, it can absorb a physical object made from these materials (such as a sword, arrow, or cypher that touches it) if the attacker fails a Speed defense task.

##### Interaction:

Tabanid are eager for stories of faraway places, news, and maps. Characters can negotiate with one instead of fighting in some cases, though a hungry tabanid can be stubborn to convince.

##### Use:

An odd traveler has come to the community and secured accommodations. The traveler is rarely seen outside their room, and when they are, they're always covered completely in clothing. Around the same time, installations within the community begin to malfunction.

##### Loot:

Sometimes a rare component or even a cypher or two can be found stitched into a defeated tabanid's layered cloak.

## Miscellaneous

Tabanid are preferentially drawn to new construction.

Ruins of Ossiphagan

The **Ruins of Ossiphagan** form a volcanic landscape of lava and obsidian rocks. There, the skeleton of an enormous creature could be found, looking like it was torn open by some monstrous predator.

He used a weed whacker to kill plant mutations as they attempted to get to his people. He quickly raised the drawbridge to slow down the plant mutations and save his people. The plant mutations got through, however, and he was cornered in a secret room in his apartment. The plant mutations unfortunately killed him. There is a picture of him and Mayor Crumb in Mayor Crumb's office which was taken on 05/16 (supposedly 16 May) which is also the code to his secret room. The same picture hangs by the entrance to his secret room and has a lock-like mechanism attached.
