The Fifth Staff

The journey home for Stumbler, Cat, Tiz and Snot is full of danger. The riddles of old no longer provide the hearth-comfort they once knew. Now they must make their own riddles, find the strength to challenge the village leaders and help Cat find her name. What they need lies in a riddle - 'People will act when they have me, fail when they have me not, and are always in search of me. I am not in the asking, though many still want to know. And without me, riddles have no purpose. What am I?'
