[Snowtulip]

My nerd brain is thinking this might result in a 25% reduction in reading ;)

Might impact challenges! Yikes!

[Eldarwen]

Yes, I am! I'll get to it right away! :-D

This should finish card 2 as well. So you might as well stick around El!

CARD 1

You've never been one to try to outdo everyone else. No one really needs to go a whole 20,000 leagues under the sea when 5,000 is plenty. You're quite sure after traveling 5,000 leagues that there's really nothing more that would surprise you down there. You've seen all the fish, sunken ships, sharks and mermaids that you could ever care to see in the sea. Just make sure to take some pictures so you can have a few rounds bought for you at the Tavern after you've returned.
Travel 5,000 leagues and take pictures! Reserve a wonderful spot at the tavern for all your stories.
Leagues may be traveled by reading books. To determine the amount of leagues traveled by a single book, round down to the nearest 100 pages, then calculate 2 to the power of the number of hundreds of pages. (Hint: use the xy button on the calculator)
Examples: 512 page book -> 5 hundred pages -> 2^5 = 32 leagues
(If not all spots are needed, x out all columns)


Tasks:
•Book 1
•Book 2
•Book 3
•Book 4
•Book 5
•Book 6
•Book 7
•Book 8
•Book 9
•Book 10

Rewards:
•5 Experience
•1 Greater Heal Potion
•1 Shield Potion

CARD 2
A Pain Giant
A pain giant is really nothing more than a giant pain. They're very aptly named and sadly very painful. At least there's still quite a few of them about because of their general disagreeability.

Attack: 15 Health: 50

Rewards:
•5 Experience
•8 Gold

[Eldarwen]

Aaarrrgghhh!!!!

We are officially cursed with crappy doubles!!! We JUST discarded this >.>

[Eldarwen]

While we're waiting on an official team verdict (though I assume discard again?), if someone is dying to read something, feel free to pick up my "something very high on over" task. I haven't actually gotten around to starting my book yet so someone else may well have something done way before me.

I will now be off to bed, so good night! :-)

[VNerdbooks]

ugh yes bin again, thats ridiculous!!

[Ghost in the Stacks]

Just finished How (Not) to Kiss a Toad, I put is as "banked" but could could for something high, as the moon is high, and she is flying.


Up to you all.

V - GoT took a while for me but every season I get sucked in more and more! I'll be interested to hear how you like it.

Yay ST!! So happy for you! When do you get to start?

[K~Terror]

I love hiking!!! I drag my family when I can but they are not big fans.

How did you like Woman in Cabin 10? It looks really good!!

25% reduction? WHAT??!!!! Can you tell them to shut up while biking so you can listen to audio - or is that frowned upon?

[Eldarwen]

Ah sorry, I wasn't around this morning so we just missed the discarding deadline.... in 12 hours we'll have the next one.

[VNerdbooks]

no probs E i missed it too lol

[K~Terror]

Sorry I thought it was gone and didn't look it up last night. I should have my "B" for Blue card done soon.

I don't have anything lined up next so wondering if we should try to get the next series grid done - I have a 13. Or just wait for new cards? We still have quite a few open on this grid so not sure if we can wrap it up as it looks peeps may be out of series books! Lol!

CARD 5
It's warm and sunny out in Novel Kingdom and you'd like nothing more than to go hiking in the woods and enjoy a nice picnic complete with Drop Bear Burgers and Lemonade. You've just gotten into the forest when the mosquitoes attack! Little bites all over your body feeling like you've descended to the 7th level of Hell, Violence. You frantically try to cover up but they've grown superior and beat back your every attempt at salvation. You're only hope now is to squash every last one of them in your trusty Ye Old Flysquatter.

Tasks:
•Read a book with irritating/annoying character or book that was annoying to you
•Read a book where someone bites
•Read a book with blood on cover or in title or series
•Read a book you were itching to read

Rewards:
•5 Experience
•1 Poison Potion

[Eldarwen]

Hm, with 2 days left to go, I'm not sure we'll get another weapon level done.

Maybe we should just focus on a few more card tasks instead?

I'll be done with my #7 in a bit, only a few more pages left!

The Woman in Cabin 10 really wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. It was just okay.

[VNerdbooks]

I'll take the itching to read spot with Sugar Free (Sugar Bowl #3)

[Ghost in the Stacks]

How mot to Kiss a Toad works for Read a book with irritating/annoying character or book that was annoying to you

The owners of the bakery were super annoying and rude. I didnt like the characters at all.

[Eldarwen]

Sounds good!

[Eldarwen]

I'm assuming that in K's banked vampire book someone bites.... ;-) Vampires and all.

And it also has blood on cover.

What about the other banked books? Does someone bite in those??

[Eldarwen]

As soon as the spreadsheet decides to add my book to my tab, level 14 of the weapon will be finished and completed on the spreadsheet.

[VNerdbooks]
