Ahhh, good thing I didn't categorize it under the repeatable ones, then, haha! Thanks for the clarification :D

Yup, I’ve killed everyone except the werewolf b/c I’m behind on updating.

I do scrounged quests sometimes, I’ve finished 2 lists and have 1 word left on another. Kinda bummed that there are some duplicates though and super weird words like “mumming” are nigh impossible.

If you want I can put all the words in a google sheet and have it auto-alphabetize, so you can reference easily and not end up with more dups. I think I can make it so you can add words later and they will slot in alphabetically later. It’ll be a week or 2 tho, as aforementioned family stuff is happening

Congrats on your slaying prowess, Ray. :) I will look into the the phase two of Ghosts to ressurect with a dose of the Reanimation potion.

And thanks for the kind offer, but I already have the list of all scrounger words. The doubles and weird words are from the time before I started creating quests. IMO weird words are fine (eventhough I don't use them), they just make the quests more challenging.

Just a friendly reminder to all the adventurers!

A number of quests require you to report back to the community — that means sharing your list of books, a poem, a review, a recommendation, or your hard-won wisdom in the Local Tavern, Theatre, or Melting Pot.

Remember: a quest isn’t complete until you’ve told the tale! Otherwise, it’s like slaying a dragon and forgetting to boast about it — unthinkable.

Some examples include:

Knowledge is Power
Santa's Little Helper
Stick to your New Year's Reading resolutions (For a change)
Impress the Queen
New Year, Same Me
Digging for Relief
Should I Know This?
Cheep-skate: a Budget-Friendly Bounty
The Great Easter Egg-scapade!
What's in a name?
The Emperor’s New Nonsense
The Theatre of War: A Play in Too Many Acts
Twice Upon a Title
Threads of the Rainbow Tapestry
Magical Field Trip
The Prince and his Date-scapades
Stage Fright and Other Unnatural Disasters
The End (of Another Year) Is Nigh!
there are more but these are more recent ones

If you’ve forgotten, just post now — the Novel Kingdom Constable will look the other way. Probably whistling. Probably off-key.

The Prince and his Date-scapades
• Read 2 books that include a quoted poem or song. Share in the Local Tavern.
1. Fame and Fortune; 25Sep2025. Plot is a singing competition!
“Pulls me in enough to keep me guessing, whoa
And maybe I should stop and start confessing
Confessing, yeah
Oh, I’ve been shaking
I love it when you go crazy
You take all my inhibitions
Baby, there’s nothing holdin’ me back”
2. The House In Richmond; 28Sep2025. Jamie sings karaoke.
“Moon River, wider than a mile
I’m crossing you in style someday
Oh dream maker
You heartbreaker”

Last Orders at the Haunted Tankard
Read a non-horror book that nevertheless gave you a fright, and recount the spookiest scene in the Local Tavern thread = Take My Oxygen, This Plane is Going Down; 16Oct2025. There’s a scene with wicked powerful magic Fae threatening our protagonists and they were just so… inhuman that it was super creepy.
