Welcome Megan! And a bit of advice....steer clear of the rat stew at all costs... better stick with ale and hope for a bit of mouse meatball.
35559 Yep I found that out during the last group challenge that had these :(
35559 The puzzle isn't always posted by the overall "NBRC Mod" account, but also by the mods actual accounts.

Yep you and Karsyn are correct.

Sorry this is a lot for my brain which is asleep right now. A 25+ attack for the rock would be CRAZY.

Edit: Looks like Reva did the battles correctly, but I think she typed it wrong here in the local tavern.

35559 Yes, Ray, it looks like your Rock Attack points aren't going up +2 each time so they are incorrect.

(took me a while to get it the first time, got a lot of help here :) )

Your rock attacks look good to me Karsyn.

35559 That's not problem, I was just letting Ray know that I have them available and seeing what he would be willing to pay.

Won't make the transaction until it's open ;)

Well of course I spoke too soon. I just checked and now Overdrive DOES have the first book! I know I checked maybe 2 years ago and they didn't have the MP3 version, just a windows media player version which I can't play on any of devices.

Yay! Putting it on hold now :) Glad this discussion reminded me of it.

Morgan - sorry I was skimming on my phone and must have put your comment and the one below (about Dresden Files) together in my eyes. Part of the reason I listen to books more than read! (ha)

35559 Morgan - I'm in Maryland too and both of my library systems DONT have the first Dresden Files book on audio. AND I can't even get it on inter library loan. That's the only reason I haven't started this series yet:(

Hope you have better luck!

They are completely "formula", but that's why I keep coming back for more. The humor and the characters. The plot has become predictable, but I will always come back for Ranger, Lula, and Grandma Mazur!
