Ariel's Scavenger Hunt

In the coral reef, you get a little disoriented and lose your way. Luckily you see a mermaid admiring your submarine; she seems to especially like the metallic finish and the external cogs. Maybe she can give you directions. When you ask her, she replies “I can point you on your way, but first, I need help finding some items. Can you help me?

I'm looking for

• Traccuddle to help me see better,
• Hackety to learn about your past adventures,
• Intintals to protect me against those nasty moray eels,
• Nelicept to keep the time,
• Gleaguis to record my thoughts,
• Anizaticate to comb my hair,
• Movale to wear to a ball,
• Aperpet to protect me from the sun,
• Belleconalt to light up my garden at night,
• Ortchbor to play with my sisters,
• Brimal so I can learn about the royal family,
• Shriard to play music,
• Aritians so I can learn to dance,
• Ralners to help me walk on land,
• Efinass to protect my voice,
• Strambract to trap crabs,
• Hastralice to help me navigate the streets,
• Iturley to start a fire,
• Nadingleywoos that will make the prince fall in love with me,
• Yerhum so that I will have a soul.

Oh, and don't bother bringing any thingamabobs. I already have 20 of those.”

Not knowing what traccuddle or hackety are, you find yourself in a bit of a predicament.

Maybe if you brought her some items that do what she wants, some of them will be what she meant. Even if some of them aren't what she had in mind, she might like them anyway once she sees them. The more choices you bring her, the more likely one of them will be what she wants or likes. Also, she seemed interested in the look of your ship, maybe she'll be especially pleased if some of the items have the aesthetic of your cutting edge steam technology. Regardless, you'll need to be prepared to demonstrate how the items you bring work, in case she's not familiar with them.

Logistics:

Collect a set of items; multiple items may serve the same purpose, and items may serve multiple purposes. No electronics. When you have your items, call HQ to schedule a meeting with Ariel. For each purpose, if you bring N items that qualify, you will get N(N+1)/2 points (i.e., 1 for 1 item, 3 for 2, 6 for 3 etc). For each purpose for which you have no qualifying items, you will receive -2 points. 1 additional point will be rewarded for each item that is demonstrated to fulfill its function underwater. 2 additional points will be given for each item that matches your steam tech aesthetic.
