Jackie’s comments from the Nothing But Reading Challenges group.

I'm confused. I only have 18 HP so I don't see how I can defeat any of them.

I do see how I could hire Lady Ysmay and buy the two potions that you mentioned. Then I could defeat sewer rat, goblin, brown bat, drop bear, and rock #2 and add 5 HP each battle. That would give me enough HP to fight a dragon.

As far as which dragon, the Green Dragon looks like the best fit for my magic staff. However, I really like the Blue Dragon's reward of the Orb of Water. Help!

Hope I'm making sense.

Okay, I did the Leprechaun quest to determine my name and introduced myself in the green room.

Hero: LVL 5 || HP: 18/18 || Sword: 1 (AP: 3)|| Magic: 6 (AP:8+1)|| XP: 45

Introducing myself as the land's newest leprechaun - Warty McCoppertop at your service.

Sounds great! I'm ready to go dragon hunting. :)

Magic staff leveled up to Level 6

Hero: LVL 4 || HP: 7/16 || Sword: 1 (AP: 3)|| Magic: 6 (AP:8+1)|| XP: 44

Sounds like fun! I'm loving this! Thanks for all the guidance. I would never have known to do so many of these things without you.

I'm going to try to level up my staff this week and continue to work on my quests. But I'll remember not to turn them in until Sunday.

I see. I vanquished Rock #1.

Currently:
Lady Jackie: LVL 4 || HP: 7/16 || Sword: 1 (AP: 3)|| Magic: 5 (AP:7+1)|| XP: 44

So I could kill two rocks with what I have now. And gain 20XP and level up again?

Edit: Never mind, just saw msg 96.

Rocks are Uncommon monsters. There's 10 of them altogether and their stats are getting higher the more of them you kill.

So the reward (10 Experience, 3 Gold, 1 Pebble) is for each rock and you can kill 10 in total?

Also, I can kill one rock without losing any HP and one more losing 3 HP.

I'm finished. Monsters killed including a small pumpkin and a mouse.

Sewer rat + Drop bear + Brown Bat = - 11 HP + 3 XP and LVL up

Okay, that makes sense. So, I'll battle sewer rat, drop bear, and brown bat and level up leaving me with 30XP and 16HP. Should I then fight the Goblin which would leave me with 10HP?

Question:

First all, I need 3XP to get to the next level and I have 14HP.

I could kill the Sewer Rat without losing any HP and gain 1XP.
Then I could kill the Drop Bear losing 8 HP and gaining 1XP.

That leaves me with 6HP and If I took on the Brown Bat, I would lose 3HP and gain the other 1XP that I need to level up.

My question is, if instead of the Brown Bat, I fought the Goblin, I would lose the 6HP that I have before I could finish him off. So that's not an option, right? In other words if my health drops to 0, I'm dead, right?

But, I have a minor heal potion so could or should I use it?

I completed the second part of the Academy II quest. :)

No worries, Louise!

10. Both partners read a book that involves a teacher or student, or that has a link to a video game (i.e. Ready Player One or The Last Wish)

How it fits: MC is a high school student who accidentally attains super powers.

I'm currently reading a book featuring a high school student MC and just finished one where the MC was a college student. I guess either one would work for #10?

I've got the A - finished this week.

Zuzana, this is great! It's a map anyone could follow to play the game. :)
