Storyline
He was known for stealing stacks of tea from a wealthy merchant. Timon and his crew drank most of it (getting high off their own supply), but he saved the best and stored it in some secret location.
He did not care for a map with an X, but rather for impossible riddles. Can you outsmart him and find where he hid the tea?
