[Rebecca]

Congrats Reva!! You truly are the master.

I'm loving these mercenary suggestions :)

[Samantha]

I have a question about collecting scrounger items. Are you able to find multiple items within one book, or is it one item per book?

[Cathy]

One item per book.

[Samantha]

Ok, thanks!

[Kelly]

I'll specifically mention in the quest for the few that you can find multiple items per book (like the bugs).

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Jack has some new goods over in his store. There's a new mercenary up (fear not that I have forgotten your other suggestions on them, we'll look into those.)

Also there's an update on the board here.

Attack #342- Correction Fluid 1/2/2016

This oozing white monster flows over the pages of books, over the hills and valleys and seeps into the deepest part of your soul leaving only sickly whiteness. If you thought a black soul was bad, it's nothing compared to a white-out soul. The emptiness inside is truly horrifying.

10 attack (+5 per round, first increase on second round) 300 HP - Correction Fluid will slowly wipe out your entire existence. Each round parts of your heroes life will be erased. At the end of each round the topmost item(s) that your hero has will be wiped out and you will be unable to use it. If you do not have a particular item or it has already been erased, skip it and go to the next item. The correction fluid will wear off of your items one week after it is applied.

[Kelly]

:) Just in time for the new monster!

[Kelly]

Also, backroom quests are in planning. We shall see.

[Jo-Jo]

Hi everyone! I'm new to this and all I've done so far is level up my sword and magic staff a tiny bit. I am unsure about a couple of things and thought that maybe some of the veterans here could help me out. I saw that there are quests on the notice board but I'm not sure if we are able to work on any of them or if we need to work on just the ones from the month we are in? Also, for fighting monsters...it says that the common monsters all run away for a week after fighting one. Am I able to fight more than one type of common monster or only one type before they all run away...in other words does just the type I'm fighting run away or do all types of common monsters run away when I fight one type? I hope that question makes sense. Also, do you have to turn in a book(read a book) to attack a monster or can you just attack? Is there somewhere to turn in completed quests/tasks or do you just keep track of your own progress on your own thread?

I think that's all the questions I had. Thanks a lot for answers and info, I appreciate the help. I'm probably way over-complicating things but just want to make sure I'm doing this right. =)

Oh, and it's nice to meet you all...looking forward to this- it seems like loads of fun.

[Kelly]

You can work on any quests that haven't expired. There's notes in the quests thread or you can search the notice board. Expired quests can be worked on using gift cards or time walker potions.

Common monsters can each be attacked and are on their own one week timer. For example attack rat on Monday and bat on Wednesday, the rat can be attacked again the following Monday and the bat the following Wednesday.

Quests don't need to be officially turned in. Everything is self tracked though people do tend to post ones they're proud of in the tavern for bragging rights.

Fun update! I'm digging the new quests. The rainbow one is super creative!

Love the new mercenary duo. They will be such fun to adventure with on off weeks for me. <3

[Kelly]

And no need to read a book to attack unless you're trying to respawn a common monster faster.

We're glad to have you! :)

Many welcomes to you Joanne! I hope you enjoy this challenge as much as the rest of us do. It's the most interesting and creative one I've ever seen.

[Reva]

Great update Kelly. ;-)

[Alyssa]

Am I the only one who's seeing Amile and Ester as Mary Kate and Ashley.? That picture.. lol

[Teresa]

I see it too, Alyssa!

[Teresa]

I love the new Hats! Now to get some gold!!

[Reva]

For:

Read a book with the word king, queen, prince or princess (plurals are acceptable) in the title (3 Gold)

Does Sheikh count?

No, just the words listed.

Heh, remember just one hat at a time :P

Welcome Joanne. It's always nice to see a new face:)

Way to go Reva!!!

Awesome! Thanks so much, that's a huge help!

[Jo-Jo]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!!!

I guess I'm going to go attack my first common monster then...now that I know what to do. I'm so excited, and it's just a rat! *rookie grin*

Go Joanne! Show him who's the boss hero.

*whispers*
And please could you bring it here later. We are kinda low on meat for stew

[Jo-Jo]

*Walks in and slaps the dead rat on the table* (in the secret back room of course)

"Fresh meat for you Tea!" The little F#@%er bit me! I'm going to go somewhere and nurse my wounds...and pride *shakes head* blasted rat!

[Cathy]

Yay! Rat stew!

[Kelly]

Hrm... Maybe rat blood sausage for next month's quests....

[Reva]

Kelly wrote: "Hrm... Maybe rat blood sausage for next month's quests...."

Shishka rat

Rat kabobs

Mouse kofta

Mouse sliders

[Kelly]

Hmm. I think I need a cooking quest. Maybe Queen Skye will have some sort of ball....

[Cathy M.]

Wow! Congrats Reva!

Welcome to the fun Joanne :D

[Cathy]

A cooking quest might encourage me to work harder toward the kitchen. Right now my focus is on increasing my staff power.

BTW, I love having a quest to use up drop bear steaks that don't require the kitchen.

[Zuzana]

Cathy wrote: "BTW, I love having a quest to use up drop bear steaks that don't require the kitchen. "

Is it so? I thought that there are no steaks without both kitchen and the recipe quest.

[Zuzana]

Congrats Reva on your monster slaying! :D

Welcome to all newcomers! Have fun!

Steaks require kitchen & recipe.

Otherwise it would call for drop bear meat.

[Zuzana]

I think that's what Kelly meant. I don't know about you but here we use raw meat to reduce swelling. :-)

Kelly, in the Blackest eye
quest, should't there be "5 drop bear meat" instead of "5 drop bear steaks"?

Gah. That's what I meant. I'll go update. Sorry guys. (Was thinking the raw steaks you buy in my head.)

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

Updated to be:
"Give Winster 5 Drop Bear Meats to keep on his eye to reduce the swelling."

[Karen D]

hi everyone! This sounds like fun and trying to figure out how to play. :)

One question, in the rules board, it says that any book read in 2015 (over 100 pages) can count. If I'm starting now, is that still true? Or should I just stick to books read in 2016? Or books read from here on out?

Thanks!

Now, you stick with 2016 books only.
Welcome to the madness kingdom.

Thanks Tea! That makes perfect sense, and what I figured but just wanted to make sure.

Looking forward to getting started!

Ahh, thanks for the reminder. I meant to update that. It gets a bit hard for anyone to join if they have a whole year backlog.

Wlecome :)

That's a huge help, thank you!

[Reva]

For the Red Gem:

Activates the red gem in the shield - allows you to double your attack power for one turn once a calendar month. (Includes weapon enhancements, does not include pets attack, only includes one strike during the turn so either slingshot or sword or staff may be doubled.)


So if my attack normally in Round 3 is: is 17 +2 + 3 Orb + 3 Bauble = 25

Would it double to:


34 +2 + 6 Orb + 6 Bauble = 48 ? Would the +2 double also?

If I used growth weapon, enhanced weapon and damage potions as part of my attack, would they double as well?

[Reva]

Welcome Lady P

*slides a cup of Ale down the bar*

Hope you enjoy the game.
