Though Rosemary usually stayed away from the Capricorn Tavern due to the cramped and crowdedness of the space, she knew that they played card games - and, with the reputations of pirates and cheating, she knew that was probably her best bet. Heading in shortly after Papercutter, who seemed to have the same idea she did, the ocelot made her way to the bar area as she kept an eye out for a basket full of yellow-painted cowrie shells.

But she smelled them before she spotted them; changing her course, she headed for the basket and plucked out one of them to put in her satchel to join the other two. Blue, pink, and yellow. She already had an idea for where she might find the fourth place - the one with the green shell if she remembered correctly from Jacob's explanation. Thinking on the last riddle, she adjusted the strap on her leather bag. Well, she could think about that while she headed to the fourth one.

With her shell firmly secured in her bag, the ocelot took another winding path to another section of the territory - this one on the outskirts, by its very nature. She only knew one location in the territory to have a bell of any sort: the railroad gait. She remembered how some joiners she saw would ring the bell here to get the attention of others, though she honestly didn't remember if she had been one of them. Still, as she came closer, her pawsteps quickened as her excitement got the best of her.

Her forked tail flicked happily behind her as she saw the basket slip into view, nestled next to the train and full of painted shells. Plucking one from the pile, she tucked it into her bag with the three others - blue, pink, yellow, and green. Purple was at the next and final destination; she could feel her paws ache with all this walking, and she silently wished she mastered her flight with her air elemental abilities by now. Surely it'd go by much faster and save her muscles some aches!

Now, to find "where everything glittered, even gold" - well, Rosemary knew the territory contained a lot of gold. From The Tempest, Capricorn Tavern, and Treasure Bay they certainly had a lot of the stuff on the island. But she already visited The Tempest and Capricorn Tavern for two other shells, and didn't see an additional basket anywhere near the gold. She also doubted that Jacob put the last one next to the most dangerous area on the island, especially given how much he disliked violence and said this wasn't to be a sparring match.

Her forked tail flicked as she started going in the direction of the jungle, her speed steadily increasing as she grew more certain of the last location: the glowing crystal mines. Rosemary actually never visited the place before, but she heard stories about it from the rest of the pirate crew; naturally, she felt a bit uncertain about pinning the last location on rumors, but she didn't really have much choice.

Brow furrowing as she approached the mouth of the mines, she hesitated a bit before she went in, not too fond of going underground just to retreive a shell and win the competition. But head in she did, her forked tail high in the air and her four eyes on alert. Cautiously walking through the mine, she headed to where she heard the glowy-est bits were supposed to be and, sure enough, as she entered the tunnel she saw a basket of purple shells waiting in the middle. Grabbing one, she tucked it into her satchel with the other four and supposed that was it.
