Umm maybe this is my no-coffee brain working but....

Why would we ever want the "Weakening Potion"??

[Rebecca]

I HAVE DEFEATED THE GREAT BLUE AND YELLOW DRAGONS! AT LAST!!


ATTACK - • Great Blue Dragon
(view spoiler)[
This dragon rules the seas, and lakes, and streams, and inlets, and fjords and probably lots of other water related terms. Both of your weapons have a tendency to hit a bit softer on this beast (half as hard if you want to know specifics). However, for each healing potion you use, the blue dragon loses 5 health points.
15 Attack 60 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, Orb of Water (Automatically heal one health at the end of every fight)

Need: 1 damage potion, 1 enhanced weapons potion, 2 heal potion, 1 major heal potion

Hero: Level 1 Magic Staff (7/2 = 3 attack)
Level 7 Sword (13/2 = 6 attack + 3 (damage potion) + 3 (enhanced weapons potion) = 12 attack)
13 Health
Dragon: 15 Attack 60 Health

Hero - uses 1 heal potion (-5 for dragon) ==> Hero has 23 HP and Dragon has 55 HP
Hero attacks Dragon with sword (12 attack) ==>Dragon 43 HP left
Dragon attacks Hero (15 attack) ==> Hero has 8 HP left
Hero - uses 1 heal potion (-5 for dragon) ==> Hero has 18 HP and Dragon has 38 HP

_______________________________________________________


ATTACK - • Great Yellow Dragon
(view spoiler)[
This dragon rules the air. Yes... Like all the other flying dragons. But this one rules it extra special. Your one advantage is bat wings. Yes, bat wings. You can use 2 bat wings for a turn to fly up and meet the dragon on it's own turf and increase your attack power by 5!
15 Attack 80 Health - Reward: 30 Experience, Orb of Air (For quests requiring 4 or more items, this reduces the amount of items needed for a quest by 1).

Need: 1 heal potion, 1 major heal potion, 8 bat wings

Still active: 1 damage potion, 1 enhanced weapons potion

Sword: (13 attack + 5 for this monster + 3 (damage potion) + 3 (enhanced weapons potion) = 24)
Hero attacks Dragon with sword (24 attack) ==>Dragon 56 HP left
Dragon attacks Hero (15 attack) ==> Hero has 10 HP left
Hero - uses 1 heal potion ==> Hero has 20 HP
Hero attacks Dragon with sword (24 attack) ==>Dragon 32 HP left
Dragon attacks Hero (15 attack) ==> Hero has 5 HP left
Hero - uses 1 MAJOR heal potion ==> Hero has 20 HP
Hero attacks Dragon with sword (24 attack) ==>Dragon 8 HP left
Dragon attacks Hero (15 attack) ==> Hero has 5 HP left

Quick Question about the Idiom challenge:

EDITTED: "Icing On The Cake" is an idiom. In my book it's used in the same way, but the wording is a little different... "Icing On The Cupcake". Would that still work?

[Zuzana]

Congrats, Rebecca! Blue orb is a great thing to have. :)

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Congrats Rebecca!

[JackAttack]

Congrats :D

[Reva]

WTG Rebecca!!!

Great pics too.

[Cathy]

Congratulations Rebecca!

[Rebecca]

Thanks everyone!!

I KNOW this has already been asked....probably by me.....but can the Orb of Air be used for Midas Quests?

Orb of Air can be used as anything marked for the Find Items Potion Eligible.

I think if it's used in the same context then it's fine.

The definition of idiom is: "a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words"

So I think since it's clear everyone is using the "Icing on the Cupcake" to mean the same thing then it's still an idiom.

[Rebecca]

Thanks!!

[☼♎ Carmen the Bootyshaker Temptress ☼♎]

Congrats on the bunny Kelly. He's so cute.

Wow awesome Rebecca! Congratulations!

I really need to update my thread. I've been so busy in the gladiator games that I keep forgetting to update other challenges.*SMH*

I was thinking the same thing! When would you ever use the Weakening Potion?

Congrats on the dragon kills Rebecca!

[Reva]

Does:

"why don't sharks bite attorneys? Professional courtesy.

qualify as a joke for the quest?

[Kelly]

That's fine Reva

[Kelly]

Weakening potion can be used for some monsters that require exact kills so you can modify your attack

[Reva]

Re how the slingshot works:

Is good only once in a battle or can it be used with each turn. If so :

Do you need a nut each turn?

[Zuzana]

That's impressive! Congrats Reva! :)

I have a question regarding Hydra- Pride battle (for Kelly): In Reva's battle: she has a lvl 5 sword and a lvl 16 magic staff - shouldn't her attack power be 16-5 +2. The +2 modifier is common to both weapons afterall.

[Cathy]

Wow Reva! Congratulations!

[Diane ~Firefly~]

Amazing job Reva!

[Rebecca]

Amazing Reva!!! Congrats!

Thanks Zuzana.

Whether it is 16-5 or 18-7, the net result is still 11.

[Reva]

Can we anticipate any changes to the caravan? I guess I should start reading for gold for a few days. Still looking for September's Scounger List.

[Teresa]

But if it's 16-5 +2 the result is 13

[Zuzana]

Yup, Teresa. That's what I wrote and that's what I meant.

Reva, at this point the mid September update could be merged with the October one with no harm. It's almost that part of the month.

Re caravan: I hope for the promissed stuff for our houses. I'd love to do some furnishing. ;)

You need a nut each turn, but it doesn't take a turn. So it's like a health potion where you can use one or many in between each round. However, this means I'll limit the amount of nuts you can get from the quest version too :P

[Kelly]

I haven't forgotten about update. Just been very very busy :-/

Huh? What quest version?

[Reva]

For the rug:

6 Skirt the Fleece - Read a book where the main characters job is cleaning

I'm reading a book where one brother is cleaning up the mess, obligations and debts left behind by his dead brother. Would this qualify?

Hmm... I think I'd consider a job something you get paid for. Otherwise it's more of a chore in my mind.

There was a request for a repeatable quest like for salt and herbs but for the nuts.

I thought that was why we bought the squirrel.

[Zuzana]

Reva, that's there's going to be a nuts quest was declared back in June. I didn't know whether to buy a squirel or not and Kelly said that I shouldn't agonize about it because there was gonna be a quest anyway. If you want I can find the quote.

[Kelly]

You'll have extra nuts because of the squirrel. (and free nuts)

✯✯✯WELCOME TO SIR REVA'S SEPTEMBER CARAVAN AND EMPORIUM✯✯✯

The MARKET is now open.

[Rebecca]

FOR "Quest: The First Puppy of Novel Kingdom"

Do articles count as the first letter? Or can we ignore A, An, The?

RebeccaS wrote: "FOR "Quest: The First Puppy of Novel Kingdom"

In cases like that they are usually ignored.

[Reva]

The Puppy + Combat + Pet plus Potion gets you 2+ per turn. That can really add up in big battles.

[Kelly]

Yeah, I'll have to keep making tricky monsters :)

[Rebecca]

Yes!! I can't wait.

I still have many monsters to defeat yet Kelly!

[Reva]

Susan is on the top 10 list of names. Does Susanna count as well?

[Kelly]

Reva wrote: "Susan is on the top 10 list of names. Does Susanna count as well?"

I think we're sticking with exact names unless it's a common nickname/shortening of the name. i.e. Alex for Alexander.
