Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments I think so. It's meant to be if the blurb is anything to go by, lol.

Jenny | 2191 comments I haven't found one for sacrifice yet, I am going to see if anything I read meets that task. If not, I have Electra on my TBR, but it is less than 300 pages.

I probably won't start any of these until the next round of Turf comes up in a few days. Too many other so finish first!


message 53: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Yeah, I have a couple of other books I'd like to get through first too.


message 54: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments It looks like we have almost vanquished King Ghidorah.
Since I chose him, do one of you want to pick the next one?


message 55: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Angie's turn! 😁

I'll have my book finished today! Hmmm.....who to pick....


message 57: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Make sure he or she is a cuddly, fluffy one, with a soothing personality.

...oh wait...

Angie ☯ | 3577 comments Mod
I don't think I can make one fit that criteria!

How about Amhuluk?


message 59: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments I really look forward to the descriptions of the Titans, as I know nothing about most of them. Amhuluk is another I know nothing about.

I'm good with that choice!


message 60: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Sounds good to me. 😁


message 61: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Definitely sounds cuddly... 😂


message 62: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments If I remember correctly Amhuluk is somewhat akin to an uber-Ent, lol. Can disguise himself as a tree and such. (not actually seen it myself, but have been regaled on the subject by a young man who insisted on sharing his knowledge on the topic of Kaiju ad infinitum 😂

Okay, checked in! So, we shall see how cuddly this one is!
Please don't throw things at me.....😂


message 64: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments You know I would only throw fuzzy things at you.

Amhuluk

description
Amhuluk's body looks like a mess of black vines tied together. He has four legs and two arms. There are blue colored streaks running throughout his body. It appears like trees are protruding from his back and he had a fish-like face with multiple yellow, glowing eyes, a stinger-tipped tongue, and squid-like tentacles coming out from his neck. He is very hostile toward other Titans except for Godzilla. He has telekinesis and can hurl parts of himself at opponents using it. Some of his other skills include great strength, amphibiousness, he doesn't feel pain, adaptability, and the ability to send a psychic blast to an opponent's brain using his tentacles.
He was awakened in 2019 by King Ghidorah and he escaped the Monarch outpost surrounding him. He was only pacified when Madison Russell activated the Orca in Fenway Park. Later, he encroached on Behemoth's territory in the Amazon rainforest. He split one of Behemoth's tusks with a single slash of his hand. Then he grabbed his other tusk and dragged Behemoth to the river. Godzilla interrupted their battle and prompted him to leave the area.

To capture Amhuluk, you will need 6 chains

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with vines on the cover
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with blue covers (minimum 50% - your interpretation or tineye)
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with trees on the cover
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with eyes on the cover
Leg 3: Read a chain of 3 books with characters that have telekinesis or psychic powers
Leg 4: Read a chain of 3 books with a hostile character

That's not too awful...but not cuddly! Lol!


message 67: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Aww, I don't know. He is looking like he wants to give us all a great big hug.


message 68: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Oof! Some of these were tricky. Had to resort to a print book for the psychic task, which meant dropping something else I'd planned. at least the default page count has a 9 in it 😂


message 69: by Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7472 comments Mod
Reminder: Everyone should read at least one task per monster. Nobody should read a whole chain by themselves. This is rule #1.


message 70: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Are we doing it wrong? Aren't we reading one book per task per person?


message 71: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments We are. Donna sent the message out to all the groups :)


message 72: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments I just noticed that after I responded in this thread.

We totally could be rules breakers though.


message 73: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Totally. Just as soon as Donna says we can. 🤣


message 74: by Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7472 comments Mod
Oh, it wasn't you guys. I sent out the reminder to everyone because some people can't read the rules.


message 75: by Donna, Curator of Challenge Terrors (new)

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7472 comments Mod
The rule is meant to allow faster readers to help slower readers out BUT not to push them completely out of the game.


message 76: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Makes complete sense to me. Not going to be an issue for us, methinks!


message 77: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Notice how she didn't explicitly say that we couldn't be rule-breakers? Hmmm...

I wonder if one of us found a book that encompassed all six tasks if Donna would notice it being the same book on six lines of the spreadsheet.

(Looking very closely at the cover for Holly (Holly Gibney, #3) by Stephen King to see if there are eyes in the window and vines on the house. Oh, and a bit more blue somewhere.
Pretty sure there will be a hostile character in this book somewhere!

teehee


message 78: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Just looked at my physical copy of the book, and I could totally draw vines and put glowing eyes on the silhouettes in the windows!!!!


message 79: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Hehe... Methinks you've been spinning the NBRC monster wheel a bit too much 😂


message 80: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments also, that building kinda looks like it should have vines...

Right? And glowing eyes.

Jenny, that is pure evil! I am on the phone trying not to giggle. You are gonna make me look like a lunatic!


message 83: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Look like a lunatic?


message 84: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments teehee

ok sound like one...

Donna (dkflynn33) | 7472 comments Mod
you know what I meant.


message 87: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments I did, but I have to uphold my evilness if you are to call me such.

Again, teehee.

You are doing a great job of it. I am off the phone now. I had to make a fool of myself anyway. I called the medical line to make an appointment and they made an appointment for me with a Pediatric allergy office. So I called that office directly to verify that they take adult patients because I don't want to be the only adult to show up in a place full of children. Why would they be called a Pediatric Allergist if they take adults? Silly people.


message 89: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments Just walk in carrying a lolly-pop, and you will be fine.


message 90: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments Back from my trip to Northumbria. Now to fit all the titan books into Turf somehow... 😖

Checking in to see how this team is doing. GR is wonky to say the least


message 92: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments GR is a giant pain in the backside!

I'm getting there with my books for this one (just had a few days away), but I think Angie may be snoozing 😂


message 93: by Jenny (new)

Jenny | 2191 comments I wonder if Angie forgot!!!! I will message her.
I should be done soon-ish.

I'm here!!! I may have had a day or two that I semi-forgot about this one! I looked for books over the weekend and thought I updated the SS but I did not! I've added the ones that I've read that will work and need to see what I had for trees and vines, because....did I write it down anywhere, nope!!

So sorry, I didn't mean to ghost you guys!!

I'm going to blame it on cataract surgery and anesthesia...since the last time I posted here was the day before! Hahahaha


message 95: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments No problem Angie it happens when you have 500 challenges on the go at once, I find, lol.

Hello, my name is Angie and I'm a challenge addict.....


message 97: by Sammy (new)

Sammy (sammystarbuck) | 3810 comments We should start a support group...

Then we can support each other in finding even more challenges to join 😂

Do you think that is vines on this cover? I can't decide if it is a vine or just tree branches or a thorn bush of some sort....

Jenny | 2191 comments I would say that there are vines growing on the branches, yes.

I totally support the support group.
