Common reasons for the kidnapping of small children are most usually for slavery or sacrificial purposes," she says with a frown as they reach a large room decorated with chairs, couches, and tables. A large fireplace heats the room as well. "Please, if you would all be seated I have a proposition for those of you who wish to help, and information to share also."After everyone has settled in Jenya begins, I have not given up on the orphanage and the church does not intend to. We have publicly vowed to locate the missing children and bring the kidnappers to justice.""Three nights ago four children were kidnapped from the orphanage, and they  are not the first. Two boys and two girls were the recently taken. We are not sure how the kidnappers were able to gain access as there are bars on all the windows and excellent locks protecting all the doors. The children are also locked into their rooms at night to prevent any midnight mischief.""In an attempt at locating these children I have borrowed an item from the church's vault. It is a magical mace that will answer a question asked to it once per week. I used this power to ask the question, "Where are the children who were abducted from the Lantern Street Orphanage?" The answer I received was rather cryptic I'm afraid."She takes a folded piece of parchment from her robes and hands it to Zeric. "This is the answer I was given. Perhaps you can make more of it?"On the parchment:The locks are key to finding them.Look beyond the curtain, below the cauldron,But beware the doors with teeth.Descend into the malachite 'hold,Where precious life is bought with gold.Half a dwarf binds them, but not for long.</blockquote>
