Up next....Sphinx
The Greek Sphinx has been spotted on your lands and befuddling your citizens left and right. Requires some planning and moderate effort to defeat, send your smartest warriors and for the love of all the gods, don't confuse her with her good-for-nothing Egyptian cousin.
To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book where the characters go on a journey.
3.) Read a book where the MC must solve a riddle.
4.) Read a book with a mountain on cover.
5.) Read a book with a brown cover (at least 50%).

We a new friend...Mares of Diomedes
The Mares of Diomedes are galloping through your lands and nibbling on villagers as they go. They may require only moderate effort to defeat, but don't underestimate them. The Four Horsemen's horses give them wide berth.
To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book between 200 and 299 pages (inclusive).
2.) Read a book with fire on the cover.
3.) Read a book where a character gets poisoned (food poisoning is acceptable, does not have to be fatal).

I think this works. Melissa and other captains??
Alaina wrote: "Is the boat/ship task done?"Not yet - if you can finish one before Melissa I think we can probably use her's somewhere else. We may see this monster again....
Ashley wrote: "Would this work? Practical Magic for sorceress? I could prob finish it today (I can get the audio down to maybe 4/4.5 hours)If Alaina's book will work though, I won't bother!"
Practical Magic would definitely work. I don't know enough about the other book.
To help here is the definition of sorceress - a woman who practices sorcery; witch.
Definition of witch is - 1. a person, now especially a woman, who professes or is supposed to practice magic or sorcery; a sorceress. Compare warlock. 2. a woman who is supposed to have evil or wicked magical powers: witches in black robes and pointed hats. 3. an ugly or mean old woman; hag
According to the captains chat "And in the interest of being inclusive, open to any gender identity"
Alaina - does it fit??
Ashley wrote: "What is the status of the Siren vanquishing? Is someone reading for T3 (deaf not dead character) and T4 (rope on cover)?"I think Mama is working T3 - deaf character. Mama is that correct??

I think they all work. Three tasks with one book🎉
This friendly fellow again....Typhon

Ashley wrote: "I may be feeling a bit competitive after snooping this afternoon. Some of the teams are KILLING IT!!!"I know - some seem to defeat monsters with one book!
Alaina wrote: "I also have Go Tell the Bees That I Am Gone which would work for 800 + and #9 in series."That would defeat this monster😀
Our new opponent is another 800+ book monster. Added to the SS.Lernaean Hydra
Lernaean Hydra has entered your lands and destroying villages as it looks for a new home. If you manage to defeat this monster be prepared to answer "how are you still alive" every time you tell the story. The monster is interested in shiny things and is unconcerned about losing their head(s). Best be quick.
To vanquish this monster you must:
1.) Read a book 800 pages or longer.
2.) Read a book with MPG Adventure.
3.) Read a book with gold text on the cover.
4.) Read a book where the MC has a sister.
5.) Read a book that is #9 or higher in a series.
Alaina wrote: "Do we still need another sorceress book? If so, witches count right? I'm reading For the Wolf and one of the main characters has magical powers."We need TWO of them😒
Do you think this will work for hard-headed? It's in the book I'm reading now...."She may have married Frances for hardheaded reasons."
Ashley, I looked on the Captains chat and a witch is allowed for sorceress 🧙♀️ 😊
Ashley wrote: "Is it possible to "hide" the completed monsters? I was just thinking it might be easier to see what we still need to defeat a monster!"That makes sense - Melissa are you OK with that?
