Successes with Int and Cryptography + Intelligence Analysis can be used to
- guess one word, which will be filled in everywhere it appears.
- guess a particular set of words, which will be filled in or not where you specified, but the GMs may not be able to track that very easily.
- ask for a hint about a particular word
Words
CONJUNCTION every thing may be ADJECTIVE, every ADJECTIVE thing is ADJECTIVE by its ADJECTIVE WORD. WORD the WORD WORD, if there is a place, then there is a path to that place. If WORD or WORD WORD WORD WORD from the WORD WORD to the WORD WORD, then there is a path that can be WORD from the place where it once was, to the place where it now is.
To WORD the path from the WORD which was to the WORD which is, from the place WORD to the place WORD, you must follow the path of the WORD of the WORD WORD the WORD of the WORD.
Begin your WORD at the WORD water WORD the WORD, WORD south and south only until you reach the first of the WORD WORD WORD WORD, WORD WORD than can be WORD by five WORD WORD WORD WORD. Climb the WORD until you can climb no WORD, and WORD until you WORD the WORD of a WORD you have never WORD before. Take WORD note from WORD it WORD, and when you climb back down, walk in that same direction until the sun sets.
Make camp at the base of the WORD you find, but guard your camp well, for a WORD WORD is not a WORD WORD. When WORD WORD you, if it WORD you, watch WORD to see which WORD to the south WORD the WORD WORD first with its WORD. Walk to that WORD, and around it from north to west to south to east. With your WORD WORD, walk around it again, and again a third time. When your WORD is WORD, take WORD of what WORD you and follow it until it ends.
Then, follow in that direction until the sun is directly overhead, and while the WORD have WORD WORD, the WORD WORD WORD you. Dig a hole until you have found WORD and WORD, then place them out in an WORD WORD and wait WORD until WORD WORD to WORD them up. Follow it until it WORD, and WORD the WORD it WORD in with WORD from your WORD WORD. WORD the WORD WORD WORD with WORD from your WORD WORD, and walk WORD them before WORD WORD WORD.
