Upon the appointed race time, Lord Steward Engval arrived with a look that crossed between hope and disappointment. He announced before a large crowd of participants that the race would be canceled. Disappointment and anger flaired momentarily until it was explained that they were still needed. Apparently the Lord Steward had just learned of several possible clues to the whereabouts of the Spoon of Skara Brae that had been stolen over a year ago. Receiving assurances from the gathering, he passed out maps marking areas where possible clues might be found.

It was a long, frustrating and confusing search. Many dropped out, got lost, gave up hope. The few who pressed on did so with determination. In the end it was a man named Christopher that managed to solve the riddle of the spoon before all others. There in a building on Buccaneer's Den he found the Spoon of Skara Brae. Triumphant he brought the Spoon safely home to Skara Brae. May the name of Christopher be remembered for ages untold as the hero of the Spoon.
