I really liked it. Hope you enjoy it!

I added all my books except for a couple with very few ingredients in the text. Still, some of the ones I added don't have a lot so feel free to remove them if we need the space.

I'll get them added today. :)

I have several books to add. Should I add all of them or concentrate on certain things?

Zuzana wrote: "Yup, it has to be the same word. What about GAME?

We don't have to rush finishing this challenge though. I have in mind easier ways to get 10 XP next Sunday... *evil laugh*"

GAME is fine. Can’t wait to see what you have in mind. Lol

I’ll go ahead and level up my sword to level one or two. Do we have to spell the same word for #7?

Thanks, Zuzana. That sounds like a plan. I hope to finish part of Academy II this week and maybe Robbing Robin Hood.

Quest idea from apprenticeship team Lady Zuzana and Lady Jackie:

Knowledge is Power

The Local tavern is a bottomless well of knowledge. Heroes have been asking questions about quests and monsters there since the very beginning of the game. It would be beneficial for both the newbies and the veterans to check out the thread and report something useful that they have learned onto the old FAQ thread.
Report 3 pieces of advice or answers to important questions that were discussed in the Tavern to the Ole FAQ thread. Link to the Tavern post.
You'll be rewarded 1 XP for each piece of advice.

Looks good to me. And makes good sense. I'll post it as is. Thanks.

I think I'm going to work on one of the participation quests, probably Academy II, and then work on some book quests at the same time. It looks like the best way to keep up with these is to use a spreadsheet until they are completed and then post in my activity log. I'll also work on leveling up my magic staff.

I killed the drop bear and did the hello my name is ...quest so now I have 13 XP but only one 1 HP. I'm assuming that next I should complete quests to get to 15 XP and level up to level 3?

Also, I see from the rules that you can store books that you read but haven't used yet in a quest. What do you do to keep up with them?
