This time, the Chaos Elemental answers to a letter sent in by Moe is 4210. His original text was:

Dear Chaos Elemental

In the wilderness of Gielinor,
Lived a beauty by the name of Ele,
Her tentacles wisp and hasteful,
Her eyes seering and graceful.

Exquisitely she would waft,
Down the aisles of four and nine,
Slaying all those who dared cross path,
Not even a revenant could withstand.

Ele spoke in tongue twisters,
Even Reldo shan't understand,
Scrying the content of the future she would do,
That even Mod Mark could not do.

O Chaos Elemental, Mel-ona the Scale,
I ask to you,
Will you be my Valentine?

From your loving companion,
Moe Is 4210

Next the Chaos Elemental replied:

O, Moe is me!

Moshort Karma went, a story long and fraught
Others set up tents, in the halls they fought;
One of the many cursed, to tell tales of their lives;
In which you'll become versed, by seeing through their eyes.

Divine, she comes to moonlit shores;
Stolen as her father snores;
Restlessly she wails and roars;
Spells to those who help her cause.

Gold to half magnesium, at oxygen, half sodium,
Carbon monoxide, sulphur, half manganese. I see
Carbon, hydrogen, a oxygen, half scandium
Argon, molybdenum, you are half antimony.

There once were a series o' quests,
Full o' cutlasses 'n' stripy vests,
It's gettin' another,
Yer'll go undercover,
In a fact'ry o' b...

O, a Leech Laments!

Notes From Letter 15

  • "Moshort Karma" is an anagram of Marmaros & Thok. Unlike the other Fremennik at Daemonheim, they fought into the depths of the dungeon only for Marmaros to be driven mad by a Hope Devourer (as established from the previous letters to the Chaos Elemental).
  • "One of the many cursed, to tell tales of their lives; in which you'll become versed, by seeing through their eyes" makes reference to Skaldrun and the release of the Fremennik Sagas, respectively.
  • "Moonlit shores" refers to Lunar Isle, while "spells for all who help her" refer to the new Lunar spells that will reward players helping Pauline Polaris on Livid Farm.
  • Taking the chemical symbols for the mentioned elements and molecules, and substituting words that sound like letters for the actual letters they sound like, gives the following:
    • Gold to half magnesium, at oxygen, half sodium = Au to half Mg, at O, half Na (AUTOMATON)
    • Carbon monoxide, sulphur, half manganese. I see = CO, S, half Mn. I C (COSMIC)
    • Carbon, hydrogen, a oxygen, half scandium = C, H, a O, half Sc (CHAOS)
    • Argon, molybdenum, you are half antimony. = Ar, Mo, U R half Sb (ARMOURS)
  • The use of elements in this riddle alluded to the Elemental Workshop IV quest, which had players using the Automaton Da-Vi to help create Cosmic and Chaos armours.
  • The pirate-based rhyme is intended to end with the word "Barrelchests", and referred to the next quest in the pirate series (A Clockwork Syringe) and its Barrelchest factory.
  • "O, a Leech Laments" is an anagram of Chaos Elemental.
