            "text": "You dig at the base of the tallest stone, expecting buried infrastructure. You find rock. More rock. Then clay. Then more rock. Whatever's causing the resonance, it's deeper than your hands can reach or it's not coming from below at all. The humming continues, indifferent to your excavation. You fill the hole back in and brush off your knees."

          "success": {
            "text": "You follow the hum to the base of the tallest stone and dig carefully with your hands. Thirty centimeters down, you hit metal - a corroded pipe, pre-war municipal water line, still pressurized. The thermal shift at dusk changes the pipe pressure and creates the resonance. The purple tint is probably mineral fluorescence from a manganese deposit nearby, activated by the vibration. Mystery explained. But you pocket a few fragments of the manganese-stained stone anyway. A mineralogist would pay for samples like these."

    "text": "You hear it at dusk - a low, resonant hum coming from a cluster of sandstone formations just off the trail. Not wind. The air is still. The sound pulses gently, rising and falling in a rhythm that doesn't match anything natural.\n\nThree tall stones stand in a rough triangle, their surfaces worn smooth by centuries of wind. The humming seems to come from the ground between them. A faint purple tint colors the air at the base of the tallest stone, visible only when you look at it from a certain angle.\n\nTravelers have left offerings at the base - a strip of cloth, a few spent shell casings, a carved wooden bead.",
