Sphere?

[Zuzana]

I'm catching up on quests, too. I have to finish two books for Time for the Dead quest and 5 more books to get Spock's Plasma weapon.

I don't have much money but when the caravan arrives the little I have will be spent on heal potions.

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

I'm not sure if this was asked before but I haven't used any heal potions or any of them and was wondering, how do you use them?

See any of the dragon attacks posted before.

[Zuzana]

Carmen, you can drink any number of healing potions during your battles. The potions restore your health (a specific number of health points) so you can go on attacking the monster until it's dead.

Rules: "Potions may be used during or after battle. They do not replace your turn during battle and as many potions as you want can be used at any time.
• Minor Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 5 health during a battle.
• Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 10 health during a battle.
• Major Heal Potion - Allows healing up to 15 health during a battle."

If you guys know one that's wrong you can let me know and I can update it in goodreads. I signed up for the librarian status since so many members point out mistakes when doing challenges.

Good book. Read it when it came out. Any other suggestions?

So, can you just use a book with something spherical on the cover? Like a crystal ball or a basketball or a planet?

How about one of these:



...or am I completely on the wrong track?

It's up to each person how to interpret it. Just offer a brief explanation.

[Emily]

Okay. I was just trying to come up with some suggestions for Reva, but wanted to make sure I wasn't completely off the mark. :)

Thanks ladies :)

Caravan? Preview of August? Expiring quests , if any?

[Kelly]

Caravan will be up today.

[Moderators of NBRC, Challenger-in-Chief]

The merchants of the caravan are happy to service the inhabitants of Novel Kingdom once again.

How do you find a book exactly 125 pages. I have one that's 126 pages will that do?

[Kelly]

Reva wrote: "How do you find a book exactly 125 pages. I have one that's 126 pages will that do?"

Best way that I have to find pages is to add num_pages to your to-read list then sort on that column.

Marked by Midnight and Kiss the Flame are the two that I have listed at 125.

It appears that searching google for:

site:www.amazon.com "Print Length: 125 pages"

Also has good results.

This one's free (no idea on quality or content) http://www.amazon.com/Cobbler-Ruled-A...

Also:

[Reva]

Thanks for the above.


Not nice to cap the Heal Potions. You didn't before. :-(

Why don't you ever offer minor or major heal potions?

[Reva]

Would you free the Cottage to get it out of the way please? Thanks

That's probably my fault, Reva. I shouldn't have explained why caravan heal potions are way better than the kitchen. ;) Well, from now on I won't discuss strategy here. I don't want to give Kelly any more ideas. :D

Yes, I'm kicking myself for mouthing off about the Jabberwocky.

[Reva]

Any suggestions for authors with no vowels?

[Zuzana]

Try authors with first names Bryn, Brynn, Kym or Lynn.

here is a useful list: http://babynames.allparenting.com/bab...

[Kelly]

Don't worry. It wasn't your comments that made me put the limits on.

I want to try to rotate the potions you can get through the caravan a bit more randomly. So they're more like bonuses rather than something that's always there. But that also opens up the ability to have other potions cycle through too.

Same with the items.

[Kelly]

And if you're worried about the Jabberwocky just wait til you see this months monster :)

[Mary]

One of the books I'm currently reading is Agatha Christie's Mysterious Affair At Styles My copy does not have a teacup on it but I noticed that the original copy does have one. May I use it for the midas quest that needs the teacup?

[Rebecca]

So will there not always be a heal potion in the caravan? I'm just now thinking about dragons and I will need a ton of heal potions to defeat them. I had no idea I should have stocked up on them previously.

Or will there be potions that work similarly to help with the monsters?

[Rebecca]

Reva - The book everything I never told you has the author Celeste Ng so the last name has no vowels.

I'm reading something by Lynn Graham.

Kelly, You're positively evil. ;)

Stop teasing and tell us at least if any quests expire in August. Pretty please. :D

[Reva]

Before I waste all my hard earned potions, what does the red gem of power do?

[Zuzana]

Reva wrote: "Before I waste all my hard earned potions, what does the red gem of power do?"

The Red gem's supposed to feature in one of the future quests. So maybe we'll get to know in August update.

If I were you I'd wait till the update. What if the promised new monster brings something much more useful than the gem and you won't be able to kill it because you wasted all your potions on Jabberwocky?

I'll work on the quests this weekend. Just have been super busy with other things I am volunteered for and they had a lot to do last week.

The monster for the next update will take quite awhile to work on. There will be at least one new interesting potion to help with part of it.

I should be able to add the quest that has the red gem though I don't think all the parts for what you'll need in the quest will be out yet. So you can just look at it :)

There might not be, but I'll probably just vary the strength of the health potion available. (and cost obviously).

The cost of a particular potion may not be static between caravans either but shouldn't vary too much.

Don't think that it hasn't already crossed my mind. Thus the question.

[Cathy M.]

I finally have enough gold to get a cat familiar but am wondering if it's worth it. 2 attack points at the beginning of the fight doesn't seem like it would make that much of a difference but haven't looked through fight logs to see it in practice yet. Need advice please!!

It can make a real difference in how successful you are. Eventually it allows you to one shot monsters quicker and can affect the number of potions needed to defeat a monster.

Get the cat. I've found it worthwhile -- but only if you plan to do a great deal of battles.

[Rebecca]

FINALLY!! I just defeated the Great Red Dragon!! Victory feels so good!

Now to work on my health so I can go for some more!

[Teresa]

Congrats, Rebecca!!!

[❀Tea❀]

Congrats Rebecca :)

Way to go, Rebecca! Congratulations! :)

Congrats Rebecca!

[Rebecca]

Thanks everyone!! I'm going to need about 2 more months to gather the eggs and health potions to attack the next one....Great Green!

[Cat]

congratulations! it's a heady feeling! :)

Thank you Reva! I will get the cat :)


Congratulations Rebecca on the dragon kill! So exciting!!

[Reva]

Not wanting to be a pest but it's 4 days to the end of the month. Are we going to get a preview of Augusts' quests?

It would be nice to see something before the caravan closes. :-)

[Kelly]

I've started. Almost have my monster spec'd out. You'll like it, it's evil :)

I also have plans for 3 quests so far and plan to add 2 others.

It will be out before caravan closes.

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Congrats Rebecca!
