Here's the wiki summary thread for the skulls - including a chart with handy links to images and such.

something we noticed tonight about the skulls and their associated child descriptions: the color of the text and child's name matches the color of the skull, every time. Even a few have the same eye color as their skull, namely Blake and Lani, our Baldr and Skye skulls, green and blue respectively. Weird, huh? (But no, the purple skull kids do not have purple eyes!)

It seems that the best course of action at this point is to wait for each new NAVPATH clue to be given, as those clues have thus far consistently pointed us to exactly what pages to use to find the URLs. Don't get me wrong--it's FANTASTIC that we've already got 17 skulls when we have only needed 6 so far (including one we don't have yet but know how to get)--but I think there's no need to get all panicky about not having the remaining skulls yet, other than making sure the GPS missions we know contain skulls get done.

That being said:
Our estimate is that there are 24 total skulls (which would give us 12 stops along our trip into the AI, and we are currently at stop #3).
We have found 17 of those skulls.
We know that 3 more are currently tied up in GPS missions, bringing our total known skulls to 20.
This means we probably only have 4 more skulls to find, hooray!

The St. Louis skull was found more than half an hour ago!

http://thewaytheirworldended.com/SAI-M-K53S09822106437U16TI

We assume it was Nyst and a friend called mecampos on the GPS missions site.

Edit: Uh, I don't know what the hell is going on, but I can't get the attachments to display the other way around. Whatever. Confused

Yeah Nikki, now we need Central Park, though. Wink

Oh, right...the navpath: SARMSSAGSSMHHLI

Updated the list at the start of this thread to reflect the current count of skulls and where we've gotten them.
