 		Isn't One Other Way-
To revive a deceased traveller
I think one of us can also call out for the dead traveller, eat one of our items and then you'll be back. But I think the warning was that they're be consequences for the eater. This was in someone's book about how to revive dead travellers?

Also, because today is Sunday we still have some time before we move right?

Take Care,
Kendra

I have one as well


Aw, thanks you guys... Smile It'll be okay though, the email said I'd respawn in two days, and the only item I was carrying was that horseshoe. Save the life beads for later!

Woah, that's cool. I hadn't heard anything about eating items. That should really come in handy if things get really messy. Thanks for the info!

And yeah, you have until Monday night at 7pm EST to reply.

 		From TV today, pretty much same as the others by the trees:

Quote:
One traveler, holding a dictionary, asks, "Does, uh, anyone need anything defined?"

His friend responds, "Still have that nifty book of yours? You should ask it about the blue fruit on these dead trees."

The traveler referring to the "nifty book" turns to Kendra and asks, "So, what's your name, traveler?"

You answer, introducing yourself, Kendra, and Mrs. Nibbles.

Kendra checks that you and the kitten are safe before saying hello to the other travelers and apologizing for not having any business cards on her right now.

Another traveler who looks pretty confused says, "Hi, there! Is there any chance one of you can speak lizard? My lizard friend here is concerned about some ceremony tonight but doesn't speak English very well."

Then Kendra shouts to the air, "Yoo-hoo! Is anyone else besides travelers here? Perhaps a Mr. Arnold Plotter? I'm a big fan of your work! And just recently I gave a domestic Jumping Pelutia bush to Guy and a few other friends in the business!"

At the sight of snakes hanging from the branches of the trees, one of the travelers says, "Oh man, talking snakes... why did it have to be snakes? Frogs, I can handle, but snakes… sheesh. Never can quite understand them. Hey, partner - you catching any of this?"

Then he speaks very slowly and clearly as he asks the snake, "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth?"

The snake rolls its eyes. It seems to have a basic understanding of English, but not much.

Just then, a ghost emerges from the forest beyond. He looks at Kendra.

"I am Arnold Plotter," he says. "Are you the translator who has come to save the Governor?"

In the distance, an unfamiliar voice cries out, "HELP!"

One of the snakes looks at Kendra and says, "Sheeeeeeaaaaaasssssaaaaaa… fffrrrrriiiiiiiishshhhhhheeeennnnaaaa... thrippeeeeeeeenmaaaaaashhhhhhh…"

Suddenly, Mrs. Nibbles leaps out of your hands! She runs to the trees and looks up, growling.





So, im at a friends house, my internet is down Sad but I had to come check on the game, so I am going to wait to make my move until monday morning.

I plan on warning my kitten not to attack until we figure out who the enemies are and who our allies are, but I have to warn you guys, she acts completely on her own, and she hasnt misled me or gave me any reason to doubt her instincts. I would like to see exactly what she was growling at, and have kendra talk to it if it is reptilian, because Mrs. Nibbles is more powerful than we know, I'm sure of it, and the book i found of a cat eating a dragon, I think once sides are determined I will try to control her as much as possible. And as I said many pages back, I'm on the Governor's side.

 		Who is friend or foe?
Hedging my bets!
Again, still wondering if it was smart to talk to Arnold- I tried to play it cool whilst I got him for some more information. And pull out the charm world-known for Kendra Washington, reptile translator to the stars! My response:

Quote:
With a wave to the crowd of potentially new clients I smile and say, "Hi there, I might know a translator for hire."

Then greeting the ephemeral Arnold Plotter, horticulturist extraordinaire say I smile, "That depends, Mr. Plotter. Do you intend to buy the new translator a welcome to the job drink?"

Gesturing to the trees I then ask him trying to push his attention behind him to the leafless trees, "I've read your piece about this forest but this is the first time I've been! How have your studies been going? Oooh- what's that over there?"

As Plotter's back is turned for a moment I quickly address the snake with a friendly nod I say in the snake dialect just at a timbre the snake can hear, "Save The Governor, Save the Village. I am curious sir, who has come to you asking to join with the rebels?"

 		My bet is on the snakes - those suckers have no problem swallowing a rat! But! The rats are ghosts are the not? The snakes are real!


Seems all is quiet on the TV front today.

Quote:
Marveling at your strange ability to calm and attract animals and other… things (after all, your fondness for the creatures of the world doesn't stop at polar bears), you thank the rats for their warning

Your companion says hello. "My name is Koli Xela, I don't know exactly what happened, I was working in the blacksmith's house and one of the ghosts attacked me, I was transported here... I think. Thankfully I happened to find a bag of cookies that appear to have some form of ghost repellent in them but they are almost gone now. From what I overheard someone named the Gardener, or Garden, something like that, is trying to sacrifice a ghost and two travelers to... something... for... well, I don't know what exactly but I gather it isn't good, and seeing as they intended to make ME one of the sacrifices I think I'll be happily against whatever it is they are trying to do."

After eyeing the rats at your feet, Koli Xela goes on. "You speak to animals? Is it just the small companions or can you speak to multiple species? Do your friends have any thoughts on which way to go?"

You begin a minor search for a weapon or some way out, asking the rats whether they have any idea what you should do.

"Why not try those items in the chest?" One of the rats indicates the large trunk at the other end of the room by flicking his tail toward it. "You'd best hurry, though. There's a war about to start, and we're meant to kill the Governor soon. Don't want to get caught up in all that, Lady Rat Leader." The rats bow.

You introduce yourself to the other traveler, curtseying politely.

Koli Xela heads to the chest and uses a key. Click. The chest opens.

With a soft creak, the top comes up, and your companion looks inside.

From the door in the middle you hear a noise. It is a low grumbling, and then a shout of joy. "The war has begun, my friends! Gather! It is time to take Transition Village back for the dead!"



okay, it's getting hot in here..Kolixela, do you know what's inside the chest? Smile

Always ready for any kind of situation, you get right to action. First you introduce yourself to the other traveler and explain your situation. She says, "I'm Lairosiel" and gives a polite courtesy. Then she turns to the rats.



"Thanks for your warning, I really appreciate it!"



"Ah weapon a weapon …" she mumbles to herself, looking around the room. Apparently she is concerned about being able to protect herself.



Turning back to the rats, she asks, "So, any guess which way we should go?

We really need to stop those nasty ghosts! We're all in great danger -- at least that's what everybody is telling us."



"Why not try those items in the chest?" One of the rats indicates the large trunk at the other end of the room by flicking his tail toward it. "You'd best hurry, though. There's a war about to start, and we're meant to kill the Governor soon. Don't want to get caught up in all that, Lady Rat Leader." The rats bow.



You head to the chest and try the key. Click. It opens.



With a soft creak, the top comes up, and you look inside. There are three items: a pen, a life bead, and a tiny robot lizard. You may take only one item per turn.


You look around for any sign of the poisoned arrow, but it seems to have vanished with the ghost it destroyed.



From the door in the middle you hear a noise. It is a low grumbling, and then a shout of joy. "The war has begun, my friends! Gather! It is time to take Transition Village back for the dead!"


I'll be taking the tiny robot Lizard this turn, haven't really decided from there

 		For the record, I've got a lifebead as well. I wonder if we revive Nessa, if the sacrifice no longer counts? It probably still does, but perhaps its worth thinking about.

In my last turn, I entered the silver laboratory, and examined the bubbling pot. Here's what I found:

Transition Village wrote:
This is a bit odd. What in the world a lab is doing in the Governor's mansion is beyond you. Intriguing. You investigate.

Finding no one there, you examine the bubbling pot first.

Surprisingly, it stops bubbling as soon as you lean over to look inside! The blue water is as clear and smooth as if it had just appeared there. And, even more surprising, you see several letters appearing on the water's surface. They look like a reflection, but there are no letters floating before your face. These letters look like something from elsewhere.

They read, YTMK YMOGB ZMO GCLR QM XRR?


Not sure what that says yet. I tried Rot-it and a Base64 decoder with no results, but I'm running late for a meeting, so I'll give it a better try and send my response later.

Actually, I got an email today! I was surprised- it seems that Sunday must've counted as part of that 48-hour period. Very Happy But thanks!

TV:
Quote:
You have gone out in a blaze of glory, thus serving as the final sacrifice needed to begin the war against the Governor. Most importantly, you were brave beyond expectation.

Unfortunately, none of your fellow travelers has revived you.

You feel your body melt away into nothingness, and then you sit up, confused and alone. You are in a forest. Ahead of you, a little way in the distance, is a circle of odd-looking trees and several travelers. There is a great commotion. You have no items, but you see a stone at your feet with a ribbon around it. The ribbon reads Nessa. On the stone is a carving of you on the stake. Below the image is one word: Bravery.

To your right, you think you hear someone. A man says, "You should hide if you don't plan to fight. I'm all out of raincoats."


I'm going to take the stone and talk to the man near me. By the way, which other traveler died?? If I was the last...

It totally makes sense. lol

I ran it through another decrypto and got: WHOM WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE

Maybe try asking it to see someone? Instead of "Mirror, mirror, on the wall", it's "Cauldron, cauldron, on the floor"... Yeah, that was lame. Sorry.

(And don't worry! No one knew I was dead IG anyway. Wink )
