@drdocser These quest puzzles are randomly generated, I think, so no one's gonna run into the exactly your situation. But I've just got stuck on something similar. My puzzle led me to an island, told me to find a hill top campfire, then [keep a weather eye] and walk six paces to the northeast.
Not sure what keeping a weather stands for. Tried the literal meaning, which is to look into the far away horizon. But the top of the hill is pretty heavy on vegetation, can't see s**t through those leaves.
Then I thought maybe it means I should look for eye marks of sorts nearby. Searched around and found none.
The puzzle paper has an eye mark in the bottom left corner, with a letter E near it. Thought maybe it means there's some clue East of the campfire. Checked and found nothing.
Skipped that sentence, and walked six paces toward northeast of the campfire. Dug, got nothing. Dug in circles around the initial hole, still nothing. Then the server was brought offline for maintenance.
Anyone else stuck by the mysterious weather eye?
