Brood Mother's Reckoning

• Value: 0
• Burden: 5
• 1 of 1 pages full.
• A puzzle given to you by a statue outside of the Moarsman Gateway Temple.

In the Dark Season, 343 spawn were set forth into the pools to be blessed by the Whispering One. During the Dark Season when the spawns were set forth, 5 spawn out of every 7 spawn that were set into the pools were weak and destroyed by their siblings. Of those strong spawn that survived, for every 7 spawn that remained in the pools, the Whispering One demanded 4 be sacrificed to his glory.

Know how many spawn survived and you will know where the staff must be placed.

Notes

• The answer to this riddle is 42:

  343 * 2/7 = 49 (Total number of spawn, times by the fraction that survived)
  

  98 * 3/7 = 42 (Total number of spawn that survived left multiplied by the fraction that survive the second time. Make sure you work out the amount surviving, not the amount dying!)
