PROBE EXAMINE QUEST
A box of coloured rocks weighs one pound.
It has a basic merchant value of 0 pieces of gold.
A box of coloured rocks was last set to a value of 5 gold coins.
It cannot be owned.
You discern that it originates from Study in the white house.
It contains rocks of red, blue, yellow, white, orange, green, black and purple. The rocks are large and unwieldly, though there is a small shovel chained to the hearth to ADD the rocks to the fire. You must add four coloured rocks to the fire (the same colours may be repeated), and then, when you light the fire, the flames which emerge will hint at the correct combination. Primary coloured flames mean you have a correct coloured rock in the correct adding position, while secondary coloured flames mean you have a correct coloured rock in the wrong added position of the four. You cannot find out anything about the contents of the box as it is not open.
