Close the Portal by Finding and Re-burying the Cursed Gemstone!
"Be brave - things are about to get spooky...
Long ago, intrepid explorer Vanessa Beaumont (Nessie-Bo for short) stumbled upon her greatest find - the Mystical Gemstone of Bownessia! Unlucky for Nessie-Bo, the gem was cursed! She reburied it locally and accidentally opened a ghostly portal that has never closed! We've got our hands on Nessie-Bo's old notebook and need you - our GREATEST adventurer - to follow the clues she left behind. Can you find the gem's buried location, close the portal, and let Bowness finally rest in peace?"
