Thank you it is indeed very pretty and shiny, and I'm sure I can channel the power within it to cause beautiful destruction. Nyx bows as she receives the glimmering gem, and then flashes a dazzling smile as a realisation dawns... And, uhm, the Water Gem? The lovely Aquamarine? Any plans for that at all? I'd give it a good home, and make excellent use of it.

Nice work Boomers, killing off that uber-irritating Watery Rock thingy with a single strike! So if there's loot to distribute, you know I'd absolutely adore a nice Emerald Wood Gem, but if there are spare Garnets and Aquamarines and Grand Tonics knocking about, I'd give them a happy home! And then we have the usual exploring the area, digging and resting-to-full-health to do, right?

And a very Happy Birthday Hinckles from me too! I hope you have a wonderful day, with great fun and great company, who remind you how special you are!

Florence strikes again, this time with a fantastically uplifting, yet dark track.

Barur, thank you very much for your healing, I feel... invigorated! Back to business. Once again, I shall cast Darkness magic on the Water Rock Monster from the back row.

I'm afraid I'll have to lick my wounds this round as well; if that Watery Rock thing hits me with his special attack again, I'll be done for and I don't like dying. Well, that's not true I do like dying, just not if it's me doing the dying. It's not like I haven't killed a few of these bastards anyway, so I'll sit this round out, and hope one of you Clerics does that miracle thingy.

What Oxy stain remover??? We don't have any Oxy stain remover!!! That's soda crystals in that tub! I suggest you go and buy some real Oxy stain remover stuff tomorrow..... <domestic discussion over, please continue talking about the lovely castle>

Owww! Stupid rock thing. Thank goodness Larry will protect us from damage in the next round (my hero! ) Once again I shall cast Darkness magic on the Water Rock Monster from the back row on the assumption that Larry will save me from death by the rock's special attack. If he won't be able to, then I'll also be sitting this one out.

And again another comment about people's alignment. Please don't comment on people's alignment whether living or dead, because, just as Rick has already said, it constitutes playing the game outside the thread.

Which is the study of....?

Yays, more dead! Just you to go watery rock thing, and don't go stealing my health, 'cos that'd make me really annoyed. Darkness magic on the Water Rock Monster from the back row for me.

I'm pretty sure you can't actually get into the shop without paying to get into the park, as the shop is inside the park (all the shops are). I can't be sure though, as I haven't actually ever tried. (I've always gone into the park anyway.) This page has the opening hours; it seems the park is only open until the end of the month. This is their FAQ page, which doesn't tell you about their shops, but it does have a contact telephone number at the bottom of the page, so you could call them and ask. If you find out, let everyone know!

Sorry chaps, that just sort of.... happens.... sometimes. I'm surprised that Barur lost health, I thought his Cleric-y-ness made him immune to special attacks? Which is why I thought he and Sylph would be the best ones to attack the Water Rock Monster? So anyway, I shall cast Darkness magic on the Wood Rock Monster from the back row. Again. Let's finish these walking dust-buckets off boys!

This is great! You've really managed to faithfully recreate this particular tube station, especially the iconic architecture, and it looks fabulous. I've seen so many WW2 scenes like this in museums, but it's especially nice to see one in LEGO. The picture in your signature intrigued me, and I found a whole treasure trove of wonderful tube-related constructions on your flickr stream, including some that remind me of my own local tube station. Beautiful work, thank you for sharing.

Hmmm, so I can't use Fire or Wind.. and I'm not in the mood for Lightning, so.... Darkness it is! I shall cast Darkness magic on the Wood Rock Monster from the back row. I want that Emerald! (And who wants to make the lame joke "let's rock!"?? Or did I just do that? Oh, I did. Sorry.... )

Metagaming is frowned on; as Hinckley says you're not supposed to do it. It includes not basing any decisions on character profiles, pictures or any other information from the host. It also includes not posting stuff like "I'm sorry I wasn't around to vote but my cat ate my laptop but I hope we got a scum!" or "sorry to see you leave the game character X as you were a fellow townie". Making any reference to anyone's affiliation, whether they be living or dead, or questioning peoples motives such as "Why are you telling us that you don't have a night action?" in this thread, is metagaming and should be avoided. EDIT: Beaten to it by Hinckley. I'm a pussycat!

Larry, the only way you'd break me is if you sat on me, you clumsy oaf!. But you're sweet to think that I might need a rest, though. As to which way to go, I'm still happy to go with the flow and if Amorith has a good feeling about going right, then I'm happy to trust his senses.

Let's have a look at the map again: I thought we'd come via the Shrine Rock to the Mountain Pass and so we're facing North, heading for the Cave of Element and then onto the Hanging Garden?? Oh, but then if we're heading for the red crosses, I suppose it would make sense if we headed to the one on the left towards the Cave. Yeah, left then or aye, or noises of agreement generally. All I did was kill a few people, and baddies, of course, sorry, just baddies. Honestly, a little bit of mass murder and no-one will give a girl a break, and I haven't had my nails done for aaaages and my hair's an utter mess... Nyx continues to mutter under her breath

I have a bedroll too, and I'm certain I said I wanted to rest. You want a girl to fight your battles for you?? I thought you were all brave and stuff. Oh Larry.... And I wanted a nice shiny gem too, they shine so nicely and stuff, but I suppose I already have one of those. Uhm, looking at the map I say nay, or right or whatever but I'm happy to go with the flow.

Uhhhm... ditto...

What? What did I do? OK, I just killed some things, but I kinda thought that was the point. That's why I'm here - the killing stuff.... and the shiny things, of course. We're on the same team; I wouldn't flame you alive, or electrocute you or anything.

Uhmmmmm.... Ooooooh.. Well, that's them sorted, anyway... And Yay! It will match the detail on my dress and my lovely yet lethal Dawnstar. I shall take this opportunity to drink another canteen of water (it is time to, right?) and I'm sure our wise leader will check the ruins for traps before we explore them further. And then, once it's safe a bit of digging, and then resting in bedrolls and, oooh, there's nothing like a bit of mass destruction to get the blood pumping...

I had a lovely rest while you did all that digging Sylph, glad we're all back to full Health and Ether again. These vile lizards can be none other than Beasts, so my Fire magic will be most effective against all of them except the pretty pink mutant. I respectfully suggest that is targeted by someone else, although if we could skin it afterwards and turn it into matching handbag and shoes, that'd be nice. For my part, I shall cast Fire on the Orange Mutant (Earth Lizard) from the back row.
