OOC: What time would it be right now? I believe those in the tavern may have some information for us, and who knows what else they may have.

Hmm, I see what you mean, however, I personally see the weapon as more of a gold plating, or something along those lines, I prefer to think of it as a symbol of justice.

Let's go over to the graveyard, that way we can find what we might need there, and Puddles will probably be able to find something to eat.

Thank you! I do tend to be a bit "comma-happy" And I'll try to fix the Picture ASAP.

Golden Dragon Eurobricks: Batman Minifig Customization Contest Entry (1) by Lumbrax, on Flickr Backstory: Justin M. Walter, mention that name in Gotham, or any other city, and you'll just get a blank stare, very few have ever heard of him, or who he really is. However, on the other hand, mention his alternate name "Golden Dragon" and old ladies will praise him, young children will become excited, thieves and robbers will shrink away in fear. How could such a small name make such an impact? it is simple. Golden Dragon is the symbol of Gotham, the alternate of the Dark Knight, he is even often times called the White Knight, and he is much like the White Knight of ancient times (King Arthur) he works in broad daylight, though even then you cannot find him, if you are in trouble he will be there, if you are robbing, or stealing, or doing anything you shouldn't, you'll quickly find yourself in handcuffs made of gold, bound to a light pole, and never even once get a chance to see who did it. Though in the back of your mind, you know, the Golden Dragon has visited town. Justin M. Walter, started life as a simple child, though soon his parents realized he had the amazing ability to "hide in plain sight" and his reflexes were heavenly. Even as a little child it was hard to find him if he didn't want to be found. By the age of 12 he was the talk of the town, though not in a good way, he was the most infamous thief anyone knew, though they didn't know his actual name, he was able to get places most couldn't, and even had some run-ins with other criminals, but no one could match him. With such a bad record, one may ask, why is he a hero? Well, much later on in his years, during a deal with the Joker in extracting a large amount of money, he was cheated, and lost everything he had, he decided it was time to turn the tide, and become a seeker of peace. Ever since, he has worked his way up to gather a small fortune, though he is still mostly anonymous as such, and created a base under ground which is surrounded by ice in order to hide it, and instead of wearing black as he did when he was a thief, he switched to wearing all white, and uses just a Solid Gold knife as his signature weapon of defense.

Brick Grooves Eurobricks: Batman Minifig Customization Contest Entry (3) by Lumbrax, on Flickr Backstory: Brick Grooves is just your average everyday Gothamite. He loves to party, and party hard! He is well known for his hit singles "Party Block" and "I'm Bricky and I know it" Of course, you may be wondering, how does he even fit into Gotham, and what makes him so special? Well, remember the amazing music playing in the background at Bruce's birthday party right before his mansion burned down? And the beats that were dropped at the celebration party for Harvey Dent? And we can't forget all the other songs played at parties all across Gotham, those were all DJ'd by none other than Brick Grooves, the most famous DJ in Gotham. Bruce Wayne and many other famous millionaires have decided that he is by far one of the best people to go to when music is needed. Grooves can often be seen walking down the street, or in parties with his infamous 24kt Gold-topped Microphone.

Professor Inferno Eurobricks: Batman Minifig Customization Contest Entry (2) by Lumbrax, on Flickr Backstory: The professor (as his students called him) was often found testing ideas and theories outside of what was legal, however, it was due to one of these tests that the incident which changed his life, was made. The Professor had been working on a new chemical which might be used instead of gasoline, or other combustible products. However, half way through, the mayor of Gotham decided it would be best for the testing to stop, due to the many recent explosions which had rocked the city during the "tests" the professor became angry, and refused to stop testing, until one fateful day when the new chemical (called Chemical Z) exploded, and covered the Professor, giving him 4th degree burns over most of his body, after arriving at Gotham hospital he was lucky to be alive, after a few weeks he was almost ready to go, until the Joker blew up the hospital, with the Professor stuck inside. This time, his body had become accustomed to fire, he absorbed the flames around him, and he was reborn as Professor Inferno, however, he required a special breathing mask in order to survive, shortly after, he decided to seek his revenge on Gotham, he became the villain Professor Inferno and continued on with his research, until he was able to make bombs, grenades, and other explosives which he would use to burn down Gotham, not even the Dark Knight would be able to stop him! His weapons of preference are a AA-12 (with special explosives packed in) and a timebomb, which he tends to carry with him wherever he goes, hoping to one day burn down Gotham, and the Dark Knight with it.

Thank you, anything you can help us with is wonderful! After this, where are we going?

Agreed, another job well done Slyph!

OOC: Sorry I have been crazy busy, and absent, I have been reading up as much as possible. Based off of what you said, I would agree, opening the middle would be best, as it is impossible for it to be what it is labeled, and therefore would be much easier to determine from there on.

Well, perhaps we can help him a bit? What if we just remove the lids? I mean, it wouldn't be hard to figure out which powder is red, which is green, and which is red and green, right?

Ok, is it possible to see what the powders look like? If we do it right, we can discern what each color should look like, and relabeling it should be pretty easy from there.

Yeah, that should be MUCH easier to testing potions....

Well, that was actually pretty easy! Now what?

Well, Durkon, do any of them smell like mushrooms? I mean, for one thing we don't have any clue as to what the potions do, or what we mix with what, however, here is a list of the ones that are the same/smell the same. Own Smell #1: Similar Smell: 2, 19 Own Smell #16: Similar Smell: 5, 6, 13,18, 24 Own Smell #20: Similar Smell: 2, 9, 19 Own Smell #23: Similar Smell: 5, 10, 13, 21, 24 #20 is very similar in smell to #1, and are the same color, so they may be the same potion, or the same base, but with some variations. Now, onto the potions that smell like other ones. #2 smells like 1, & 20, and is the same smell as #19. Therefore, #2 and #19 are most likely the same potion due to the fact they have the same smell, and are the same color. #3 appears to be similar to #2 and #19, as well as #9 and #11, therefore, based off of color, it appears that #3 might be a mix of #9 and #11. #4, is similar to #2 & #19, and is the same as #11, showing that #11 apparently smells like #2 and #19, and may have similar ingredients, though it is more like #4, hence the same color. I am sure someone else will want to explain the next chunk, as this is rather tiring, however, it seems that #2 and #19 are the same smell and color, and smell like #1. #3 is similar to #2 and #19, though is more likely composed of #11 and #9 based off of appearance, and smell. #4 is the same smell/color as #11, therefore it also smells like #3. Also, just a random note, #8 & #25 are a brown-ish color, therefore I believe they might possibly be the mushroom potions.

Agreed, there are way too many different possibilities, and we only have so many scrolls. Perhaps Sam could help us?

Agreed, chocolate chips makes everything better. Ok, so what type of potion do we have to make again? And I agree, Durkon would probably be best at smelling the potions to find out what they are, especially after all the potions he/she has already taken.

Ok, well, I guess it was a good idea to find the yellow door, now wasn't it? Lets go back to the yellow door and see what secrets it holds.

Guys, we might as well as just finish up the exploration in this part, I mean, it is pretty much on the way, and it may have what we need! I say we go east then north.

Agreed, only keep it simple, we will go right, then up, then over to the red door.

Agreed, it sounds fine to me.

Agreed, perhaps the book is in a different location.

Erdathcath searches the room hoping to find the book Sam needs.

Ok guys, in case you didn't understand Puddles (that is his name, or actually, Puddles Jr.) he lives here, and happened to awake when we knocked on the wall, therefore, I believe there most likely won't be anything on the other side, except bats, so we should probably follow him.

Who am I? I am Erdathcath, my companions and I have been traveling in this hole for quite a while now looking for some potions, and other things that some bossy person wants, in order to collect some items we might need to make a expensive looking sword. With that out of the way, who are you?
