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.

running it through a crypthograph solver : FROM FOUND YOU NEIL TO ALL
... does not make sense haha Very Happy

and sorry Nessa, we weren't fast enough Sad

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

)

haha okay, you beat me Very Happy

and I think that's great idea, reminds me a little bit of this magic notebook some of us in TV had..

My Response for the day

Quote:

I watch the conversation between my new companion and the ghostly rats.. who seem to be speaking english... ?

I feel confused for a moment

The shouting from the side room pulls me out of my reverie and pushes me into action, I lean down and take the tiny robot lizard; you never know when a robot may be useful, and it's a robot.. I'm a bit of a technophile myself.

I grab another set of arrows and kneel by the chest, using it as a rudimentary cover as I prepare for the hordes of ghosts to charge in..

I look to my new companion

"Well, one way or another it's going to be an interesting day, eh Lairosiel?" I say with a smile, offering her a lightly glowing arrow. It's not going to be a ton of use in a fight without a bow but it's better than being completely defenseless.

Yeah, I know, I have a flair for the dramatic Razz

Anyway grab the life bead and decide if your staying here or going, next turn I'll grab the pen and try a door, see what we can do about getting out of the well.

hehe I answered them just some seconds ago:

"Hey Koli, quick, tell me what's inside.. anything useful like.. a life bead or weapon hu? It seems as if we could need anyhing helpful at the moment - I'm not dead and it looks like neither you are, so apparently we're the ones there are after. At least you're not the one who's getting sacrificed.. for now."

In This Installment....
When we last left Governor's Heroes

Looks like Nessa is with Mr. Plotter and we're in a forest of anti-ghost fruits. Cool!

Here's what TV sent:

Quote:

Introducing yourself politely to Mr. Plotter, you engage in a little polite chat before moving to the next part of your plan.

A traveler with a dictionary says to his friend, "Sorry, dude. I don't think it's Ghostpedia; I need a specific term to look up. Well... ah, screw it. There's no use in not trying. It's not like I'm contributing anything else to this group."

He opens the dictionary and asks, very generally, about the blue fruit on the trees.

Instantly a tiny professor ghost appears on the pages. He looks up at the traveler a bit annoyed and says, "Don't you know how a dictionary works? You need a specific �" but he trails off as he sees the trees. "Oh," he says. "These are the Frenghif fruits. Their juice is� eh� if you'll excuse me." And he vanishes.

Another traveler says, "Well, greetings and salutations, fellow travelers. I am Sam -- the Caterlice Metatron. Need something? I'll just say the word. Right about now that word should be vermin-away, but considering the conversation going on over there, I better not. Although, Kitten, and I am talking to the cat -- unless you have something to share, it's not nice to interrupt the adults when they are talking."

Mrs. Nibbles turns and begins to growl at Sam.

Another traveler picks the sneaky kitten up, handing her wriggly ghost back to Absynth. She glares at the traveler as she pat her on the head.

"I'm afraid I can't buy you a drink today," Mr. Plotter tells you with a long face. "Today is rather a difficult day in our village."

The traveler who picked up Mrs. Nibbles asks, "Hold on, did you say 'save the Governor?' What is wrong with the Governor?"

He responds, "There is a great war about to begin. The creatures of this village will likely decide which side wins. Some ghosts wish to overthrow the Governor."

You get him to turn his head for a moment and then talk to the snake, asking which rebel ghost has been to see them.

"Erdu," the snake hisses back. You have the impression that no one else in the area has any idea what your conversation is about.

Mr. Plotter turns back. "I didn't see it. What was there?"

Nearby, Sam whispers, "See the source of the scream." Before all of you, a projected image appears of another traveler tied to a burning stake. She is smoking and horribly burnt. Her head lolls to the side, and it is clear that she is dead.

Just then, the opening from which you fell to this area begins to shoot fire. Sam gets singed. Around you, bodiless voices laugh, and one voice says, "It is time for war. Lizards and snakes, kill all of the living travelers first!"

But the snake responds in a heavy accent, "We fight for Governor."

A howl of anger rises up around you, and the voice says, "Then we will kill all of you! And the rats will have you for dinner!"

One of the travelers searches through a book furiously, looking quite nervous.

Mr. Plotter makes a small gesture at you, and he hands you several raincoats, one for every living person in this area. Then he dashes off into the woods.

And my response:

Quote:

What a first day on the job! The area lights around me in fire and I steel my reserves. If I can handle Paris's after-after-party, this is nothing!

Wanting to protect my new friends and possible future clients, I quickly distribute the raincoats to the crowd before wrapping myself in it. Although they felt like ordinary raincoats when Mr. Plotter gave them to me, the garments feel unusually protective.

Trying to usher the living travelers, Mrs. Nibles and the friendly snake away from the fires, I say "Take cover! Try behind the trees!"

I notice one of the leafless trees that has a large enough trunk to hide me and my friends, urging people to hide there.

As the fires rage around us I think. who's the Erdu fellow, and how can we stop him? Peering through the woods I try to look to see where Mr. Plotter may have gone and if there is any other way to help him. Perhaps he was on the Governor's side anyway.

Gently tapping the traveler with the dictionary, I ask him, "Does your book tell us why they'd attack us out here with the Frenghif fruits or whatever it is that ghost said? Do you think these fruits are valuable?"

Then turning to the brave snake I first met I ask, "Do you know of any lizards who may have a sympathetic ear to our cause to save the Governor? Or any way to stop this?"

When it rains it pours... thank goodness Mr. Plotter gave us a raincoat.

OK I'm really behind on posting, but here is TV's latest response, I think Im in the same forest some of you are:

Quote:

You scream, fed up with the insanity, and Erdu rushes toward you. "What is this? A bug?" You aren't sure what he means at first, but then he rips the cup from your ear. It's horrifically painful, and then you feel a wonderful release. The pressure in your head is gone.

Unfortunately, you are being held tight by Erdu. "Come watch the village fall," he whispers into your good ear. The next thing you know, you are standing in a forest alone.

Ahead of you are some odd-looking trees and some loud commotion. A ghost man runs up to you and says, "You should hide if you don't plan to fight. I'm all out of raincoats."

To your left, you think you hear someone moving around.

Thanks, Nessa. Not really sure what my next action would have been if I didn't know what that said, haha. For future reference, where did you find that decrypto tool? I'm still pretty new at decoding things Embarassed

Anyway, here's my response:

ironnikki wrote:

After puzzling over the odd text reflecting in the water, I realize that this is an encoded message. I spend a few minutes thinking it over and switching letters around, and finally reach a conclusion:

"'Whom would you like to see?" I think about it for a minute, then slap myself on the forehead. "Who would I like to see? Duh! I'd like to see the servant girl, please!" I apprehensively peek over the rim to see if my command was heeded.

Ahh, Merry Meet in the circle of trees.

TV:

Quote:

Of all the odd events taking place, the only thing that makes sense is the fact that the trees are leafless with blueberry� things. Yes. That is clearly quite logical. The rest of this, however�

A traveler with a dictionary says to his friend, "Sorry, dude. I don't think it's Ghostpedia; I need a specific term to look up. Well... ah, screw it. There's no use in not trying. It's not like I'm contributing anything else to this group."

Mrs. Nibbles turns and begins to growl at Sam.

You pick the sneaky kitten up, handing her wriggly ghost back to Absynth. She glares at you as you pat her on the head.

With a smile, Kendra addresses the horticulturalist. "That depends, Mr. Plotter. Do you intend to buy the new translator a welcome to the job drink?"

"I'm afraid I can't buy you a drink today," he tells her with a long face. "Today is rather a difficult day in our village."

You ask Mr. Plotter about saving the Governor, and he responds, "There is a great war about to begin. The creatures of this village will likely decide which side wins. Some ghosts wish to overthrow the Governor."

Gesturing to the trees Kendra says, "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?"

He turns away, and Kendra looks at the snake. "Waaaaaaaashiiiiimaaaaa rrrrrrrrifeeeeeeeeeeentaaaaaaaa," she says.

"Thiiiiiiif," the snake hisses back.

Mr. Plotter turns around again. "I didn't see it. What was there?"

Nearby, Sam whispers, "See the source of the scream." Before all of you, a projected image appears of another traveler tied to a burning stake. She is smoking and horribly burnt. Her head lolls to the side, and it is clear that she is dead.

A howl of anger rises up around you, and the voice says, "Then we will kill all of you! And the rats will have you for dinner!"

Mr. Plotter makes a small gesture at Kendra, and he hands her something.

You look in your book furiously, thumbing around for something relevant to the situation.

Don't Believe This

Page 23 Some ghosts gain great health and power from Frenghif Iron. It is said to heal even their most serious afterlife wounds. Unfortunately, Frenghif Iron is not to be found in Transition Village, as it does not grow on trees.

Ok, so the blue berries are our weapons against the bad ghosts!

My response:

Quote:

Deftly catching the raincoat The Translator tossed to me I pull it on and tuck the book safely inside.

"Quick, everyone! Arm yourselves with these berries! They kill ghosts!!" I begin knocking down bunches of the blue Frenghif Iron berries. "Just be careful not to hit any of our ghost friends!" I shout. I grab handfuls of the berries and start filling the pockets of the raincoat with them desperately hoping my former softball days choose not to desert me.

Hey guys,

So, I'm a way on holiday at the moment and I lack an internet connection. Last night I sent in my move via phone, but I haven't been able to read the forum for a few days so what I sent in is a little out of sync and a little silly. I should be out where Nessa once was. Here's my last reply from TV:

Quote:

You hear Nessa's cry, and you run for the door, mentioning that Billy may be in the fields at the east end of the village. The ghost with tear-stained cheeks spins around. "NO!" she cries. "The sacrifice!"

She dashes out the door ahead of you and runs toward the field. The old man and several other ghosts try to stop her, but it is too late. She is long gone.

"Get to the trees," the old man begs you. "Get to the trees soon to stop this war."

This turn I'll run over to the trees, if possible. Oh, and who was the distracted traveller in the church, with the letter and finger?

Gee! That didn't take long!
TV:

Quote:

Several other ghosts arrive at the scene, most of them wearing flowers on their clothes in one way or another, and they engage the ghosts who have surrounded you in battle. You and your friends are trapped in the middle of everything.

Sam wonders aloud whether all of you are among the living who must die, according to the ghosts.

The traveler with the dictionary turns to Sam and says, "Sammy, you alright? Stick with me, buddy. We've been through enough together. Try not to get yourself killed."

You catch the raincoat that the translator throws you, and you put it on. Surely there's a reason for these. They're light and annoyingly rubbery, just like any cheap raincoat, but there's something more to them. You feel protected. And it's not as hot anymore.

These are fireproof raincoats.

You announce to the group of travelers, screaming over the sound of burning grass and clashing weapons, that the fruits on the tree are weapons, too. You grab some for yourself.

The translator ushers all of you into a hollow in the trunk of one of the trees, and then she goes about finding more information.

First the taps the traveler with the dictionary. "Does your book tell us why they'd attack us out here with the Frenghif fruits, or whatever it is that ghost said? Do you think these fruits are valuable?"

The traveler says, "Frenghif fruits" to the dictionary again, and the tiny ghost reappears, this time cowering and looking around in fear. "What do you want! I told you what they are, now just leave me alone!" He seems terrified. Kendra explains what she wants to know, and the professor answers, "They are one of the Governor's most important lines of defense. To destroy these trees � dangerous though they are � is to gain access to the mansion." Then he vanishes again.

Kendra turns to the snake who is nearby and says, "Freeeeeeeeeeeskaaaaaaa muuuusaaaaaaa leeeeeeeeeeethhhhhh�"

The snake replies, "Yissssssssssssik friiiiiiiiiiiiilaaaaaaa huuuuuuuuuuushaaaaasssssss�"

At this point, all of you realize that Sam is not with you.

He is alone in the middle of the fighting. What happened? Why did he not come with you?

Sam appears to mutter something under his breath, and then his entire body transforms � into the Great F. Rogers, Wizard of the Neighborhood, wearing a red cardigan, blue pants, and nifty shoes. He asks, "Hey - did anyone else see that dead chick, or was it just me? I mean, what was that all about?"

It's at this point that Sammy realizes he's alone. He notices the raincoat that Kendra handed him, and he puts it on.

One of the ghosts sees him. He's wearing a flower on his chest, and he's fighting with all his might against one of the meanest looking ghosts. He says, "The Wizard of the Neighborhood?"

Several ghosts stop fighting for just a moment, and they look him over. The ghosts with the flowers seem confused but glad to see him, while the rest of the ghosts appear furious.

"This isn't your war, Wizard!" one of them shouts, and suddenly there is a massive explosion next to Sammy. A branch falls and pins him underneath it. He wriggles but is unable to shout out for help; the branch is on his face. He can't speak. The war wages on.

And my reply:

Quote:

"Yeah! I saw the dead chick!" I yell over the confusion. "She looked an awful like this person over here," I say pointing to the ghost? resurrected? zombie? Nessa.

I begin pelting the ghosts not wearing flowers with the blue berries when there is a sudden huge ka-BOOM! Choking on the smoke and disturbed dust the explosion apparently raised I make out the figure of The Wizard of the Neighborhood pinned by a large branch.

"Hey!" I shout to the others, "the Wizard needs help!!" I throw a handful of berries at the approaching unflowered ghosts in hopes of slowing them down. Then I make my way to the fallen limb and try to lift/shove/move anything from the area of the Wizards head, thankful the raincoat is prevent my being rendered into fried WolfHawk and wishing my old dragon friend could show up to help.

KOOOLLLIIII HELPZ ME!!! Laughing

Quote:

Feeling quite anxious, you rely on sarcasm to get you through this difficult moment.

Koli ducks beside the chest for cover and prepares a bow and set of arrows. You watch as your friend smiles weakly and says, "Well, one way or another it's going to be an interesting day, eh, Lairosiel?" He hands you an arrow.

The rats look at you and say, "Flee, Lady Rat Leader! If the ghosts see you h�"

And then the ghosts come out. There are five of them. They are large men, each strapped with weapons. They don't see Koli.

"What is this?"

"A live one!"

"One of the Governor's guests!"

"Aw, and she has an arrow. Isn't that cute?"

The leader of the pack carries a large mace. He grips it so tightly that his transparent knuckles are white.

"Rats," the lead ghost commands. "Eat her. We'll watch."

The rats hesitate for just a moment, and then they come toward you.

Trial By Fire
They took down the Great Rogers??

Still need to think about my move, but will try to help everyone whilst not getting slain! Here's my move today:

Quote:

Sam wonders aloud whether all of you are among the living who must die, according to the ghosts.

The traveler with the dictionary turns to Sam and says, "Sammy, you alright? Stick with me, buddy. We've been through enough together. Try not to get yourself killed."

You've seen worse. Anyone who makes it to the top of the reptilian celebrity karaoke industry has to have some pretty thick skin. So bring it on.

Recognizing that not everyone around you is quite as levelheaded in the face of certain death, you go about distributing the raincoats. Surely there's a reason for these. You put yours on. They're light and annoyingly rubbery, just like any cheap raincoat, but there's something more to them. You feel protected. And it's not as hot anymore.

These are fireproof raincoats.

Another traveler shouts over the sound of burning and the clash of weapons, "Quick, everyone! Arm yourselves with these berries! They kill ghosts!!" She begins knocking down bunches of the blue Frenghif Iron berries. "Just be careful not to hit any of our ghost friends!"

You usher the other travelers into a hollow in the trunk of one of the trees, and then you go about finding more information. This is a war zone. You can't just sit around and wait for things to blow over.

First you address the traveler with the dictionary.

The traveler says, "Frenghif fruits" to the dictionary again, and the tiny ghost reappears, this time cowering and looking around in fear. "What do you want! I told you what they are, now just leave me alone!" He seems terrified. You explain what you want to know, and the professor answers, "They are one of the Governor's most important lines of defense. To destroy these trees � dangerous though they are � is to gain access to the mansion." Then he vanishes again.

Next you question the snake, who is nearby. He responds, "I will contact them. They should be here in a matter of hours."

At this point, all of you realize that Sam is not with you.

He is alone in the middle of the fighting. What happened? Why did he not come along?

Sam appears to mutter something under his breath, and then his entire body transforms � into the Great F. Rogers, Wizard of the Neighborhood, wearing a red cardigan, blue pants, and nifty shoes. He asks, "Hey - did anyone else see that dead chick, or was it just me? I mean, what was that all about?"

It's at this point that Sammy realizes he's alone. He notices the raincoat that you handed him, and he puts it on.

Several ghosts stop fighting for just a moment, and they look him over. The ghosts with the flowers seem confused but glad to see him, while the rest of the ghosts appear furious.

"This isn't your war, Wizard!" one of them shouts, and suddenly there is a massive explosion next to Sammy. A branch falls and pins him underneath it. He wriggles but is unable to shout out for help; the branch is on his face. He can't speak. The war wages on.

On my way!

Quote:

I manage to keep my cool as the ghosts enter the room, I quietly reach down and gather the pen still in the box, silently storing it for later.

'Yaddle' I think, a grim smile gracing my lips, 'I hoped I'd see you again'

I once again slip my mind into that thoughtless void of meditative focus, happily giving Yaddle one of my poison laced arrows. I aim for his heart (or where his heart should be if he were alive) and loose the arrow. When it's too late for him to dodge I stand, smiling

"Hello Yaddle"

I turn towards the rats

"You should rethink your alliances, little bretheren"

I hand Lairosiel my small bag filled with ghost repellent

"Use it if you must"

I turn towards Lairosiel

"I think there's a Mace over there you can use" I say with a glint in my eyes

"Pretty well made too if I remember correctly"

Quote:

For a moment you stop to consider just how strange this village is, but then you snap back to action. You take the tiny robot lizard into your hands, and its eyes glow red for just a moment. Then it lies flat in your palm. The rats don't notice. You place it in your pocket.

Lairosiel says, "Hey Koli, quick, tell me what's inside. Anything useful like� a life bead or weapon, huh? It seems as if we could need anything helpful at the moment. I'm not dead, and it looks like neither you are, so apparently we're the ones they're are after. At least you're not the one who's getting sacrificed... for now." You have the impression that she's trying to be sarcastic, but there's plenty of truth to her words. Both of you need to be careful.

You duck beside the chest for cover and prepare your weapon. Then you give an arrow to your companion and wait.

The rats speak to her. "Flee, Lady Rat Leader! If the ghosts see you h�"

And then the ghosts come out. There are five of them. They are large men, each strapped with weapons. They don't see you.

"What is this?"

"A live one!"

"One of the Governor's guests!"

"Aw, and she has an arrow. Isn't that cute?"

The leader of the pack is someone you know. He carries a large mace, and he grips it so tightly that his transparent knuckles are white.

"Rats," the lead ghost commands. "Eat her. We'll watch."

The rats hesitate for just a moment, and then they come toward Lairosiel.

Here, I've handed you a much more useful weapon (and likely gotten you a mace if my arrow flies true Razz

)

Hopefully the rats will defect and join us, if not destroy em all I guess

in this room!" I stare at the ghost rats. "Squeak! There is no need for fighting, not for you! They are using you for their own goals!"
I try to win some time, maybe Koli pulls a rabbit out of the hat - hopefully something more useful than a rabbit.
