Live Action Role Playing, or LARPing, consists of a bunch of fanatics meeting in the woods to get some exercise and share their love of the pastime...hmmm...like it or not, these are our brethren, except sans the costumes. Ok, so maybe they go out and bash each other with boffers, while you might only bash your caching partner in the head if they forgot to load the coordinates. Check out this band of merry oddly-named larpers: 
Only count nine? You may have missed lfih, the invisible halfling rogue being carried by ivvu the swordmaster. Decode their names and perhaps you'll pass them in the woods on the way to the cache.
We are pleased to present “The NoVAGO 12 Days of Cachemas”, a cache series running from December 25 to January 5 modeled after a familiar Christmas song. Starting on December 25th, one new cache in this series will be released each day, until “The 12 Days of Cachemas” song is complete. Each cache in this series will contain clues. Collect all clues and figure out the location of the prize cache with some very special prizes. To date, the following NoVAGO 2009 Cachemas caches have been published:
