"That's the way you want it unicorn, so be it. Hope you enjoyed your last apple." ooc: can we shoot arrows and magic through the fence or does it need to be opened first?

These are great, everyone was very recognizable. One of the few games I love on my PS3.

"Thank you Hoptet. Now, Thothwick, you think you can take care of this part?" She hands the apple and vial of Last Wish Powder to him. "Then perhaps Batholomew can sweet-talk the grumpy unicorn into eating it."

"Hoptet, do you have an idea to get an apple?"

Cinna distracts the monkey with the gold coin, and trying to reach into the cage further away from the apples. She is pretending to try and reach for toys or other items (not poop) and is being very careful not to get bitten.

"Hmm. Can anyone use that harpoon of Bluto's? maybe we could spear the apple. Or maybe Thothwick could swipe one if we distract the monkey."

"Yipe. Careful monkey, you almost got me. I wish you could understand me, I just need one little apple. How about a trade for this shiny thing?" Cinna pulls out one shiny gold coin and tries to mime to the monkey that she would like an apple and in turn will give him the shiny coin. She is careful to keep the coin far away from the bars so that he can't grab it.

Cinna walks quietly over to the monkey cage to look for any uneaten apples.

"Yes, maybe he will tell you if he is thirsty or hungry. "

For general use, I like the new curved smaller bill cap. It's available in quite a few colors. However, I really like the more detailed versions from CMF. I think they look nice interspersed with the plain ones throughout a city.

"We will now make haste to the menagerie to find that rude unicorn."

"You make a good point there Thothwick. I'll wait to hear from Bartholomew and then decide."

I don't hate this as much as when it first started showing up as a possibility (on Flickr), but not sure where anyone is getting a "theme" idea. I think this would be like the other Cuusoo sets and just be a 1-off. They might make new parts but more likely they will just create colors/prints for parts that already exist. It could give us some interesting printed parts though. I hope it isn't $250! Wow that would be a lot of money for something fashioned after a computer game and into a toy.

I like all the figs, but Gandolf I hope will have hair under showing under the hat. He looks very strange with no hair.

I hope some other figs have a left-robot-arm and a left-robot-leg to make the parts more useful. I doubt that I will keep any of these hunter figs together but will "fix" them like others have mentioned. I do like the new hips print with just a belt, it will be useful in MOCs to have a plain belt print. Not really sure about the monsters so far, maybe like the werewolf ... still deciding. I don't like Frankenstein's Monster but the head itself will be useful for zombies and other things. Don't care about having yet another Dracula character...meh. I'm excited about everything in 2012. Maybe I should get a second job...or put more inventory in my Bricklink store.

"I'd like to get to the bog as soon as possible, so we can get Bluto healed. I think that it will take us time to travel to the bog whether we go now or if we go to the manajerie first. My idea is that the unicorn can wait, but Bluto can not. I'd like to hear everyone's opinion though, before we decide. Of course as we decide, the clock is ticking."

Very nice design. It looks easy to defend and fits in well to the area.

"I don't think we have time for that today. I think we should head straight to the bogs to find that witch. If we can find her before Bluto dies, that would be most preferable. Don't you agree?"

"Thank you for your kindness, we will be sure to bring this powder back if we don't end up needing it." She stores the second bottle of power safely in her bag. "Yes...of course. My apologies. I've been doing a lot of digging in the hot sun and found three traps...my mind isn't as sharp today as it usually is. I hope we can find the witch in time. Now we must leave you to your work and get on with ours, unless any of my comrades have any questions for you, goodbye."

He's just learning to read, no reason you can't still have him as a sigfig. I'm not planning* to use any of the students in any more MOCs. *of course that doesn't mean I won't.

"Thank you for the trade. I think we would like to accept the free bottle of powder too, just in case like Thormanil mentioned. Do you have a map or exact location for the witch? This way we can go there directly and hopefully get poor Bluto healed because time is running out for him." Cinna stores the Last Wish Powder in her pack. "One last thing, is it possible to kill a creature after he has been turned into an undead creature?"

"So glad we got here in time. Yes, here is the pearl for you. We realized we could buy it in the sauk, but by then it was already evening so we figured we would bring you fresh one. Also, for future reference, in case you didn't know, be careful on the beach as there are some deadly traps under the sand."

"Wonderful job everyone. If two of you could carry Bluto, I think the other two should run back to the market and hopefully catch the necromancer before he closes shop. We can at least trade the pearl and hopefully get some information about healing the boy, if nothing else perhaps he will point us to the doctor. Bartolomew please come with me and we will run to the market, if it takes a lot longer to travel carrying Bluto we will need to head to the minajerie before daylight if possible." Cinna takes the perl, hands mead to Thormanil, smelling salts to Bartholomew, and Nostrum to Thothwick.

The village of Urk'cape is very much thankful for the gift. Wolftracks is happy to report that the gold has been used to build a school for teaching the whole village how to read. It is the hope of the elders and of Wolftracks that these steps will assure a tragedy such as this never happens again. (image is a link) Afraid so.

Greetings, we are Wolftracks Mitgardian Rescue Company. If a loved one is missing, we will search all of Historica to find him or her. We do not give up and we do not fail. We make no promises on the condition of the people we find, after all it is a harsh land out there. We do our best to track down as many details as we can and bring back to you all the news that we were able to gather. We are here today to inform the guild that Than-Reya, speaker for the Urk'cape tribe, has perished on a journey into the desolate Siccus Badlands. She and her husband were on a quest to build an embassy in Kaliphlin for the Mitgardian guild. Unfortunately they were ill prepared for the desert creatures and were attacked in the night. One creature was slain but it appears that there was another who tried to drag Than-Reya's husband into it's burrow.We can only guess that the screeching death cries of the slain creature are what finally drove off the other. Most of her belongings were missing, including the cart of wares they were sent out with for building the embassy. We found a flag pole at the camp, but no flags. The good news is that we did find Than-Reya's journal and are currently working on peicing together the details of the journey. We will report back to you when we have more details. Wolftracks vows to continue Than-Reya's quest and successfully build a Mitgardian embassy. UPDATE: Captain Michael of Wolftracks back with an update. Over the past few days we have been researching Than-Reya's journal, which was found at the destroyed camp site. What we have found so far is that Than-Reya and her husband did try to research the area, but due to their inability to read and the lack of anyone with knowledge of the area in their village, they were unprepared for the harsh environment. More importantly they did not understand how to create appropriate defenses in the sands of the Badlands. Thanks to the generous gift from Jarl Nibelung and the Mitgardian Court of Valholl, the village of Urk'cape has been able to create a school to teach all of the people how to read the written languages of each land. They renovated an old barn in the village to create the school. They hired a skilled teacher, Professor Javier Crasious. The lessons have already begun and the villages are picking up the new skills quickly.
