Folks, I need you to look at line 133. I think you meant Twisty but please double-check. Then verify that you have completed 3 tasks for each arm & leg.

[Shan ~A~]

I am going to leave it to one of the two of you to check things over before we check in going forward. Evidently, I can't see. 😂

[Anastasia]

I checked it and couldn't find anything wrong

[Richard]

I changed line 133 to Twisty & put in the full title of my Juggling task. Should be okay now?

Violator

The Violator is the demonic (& true) form of the Clown. His current disguise is that of the Clown, a 5'6 overweight, balding man with menacing face paint. He is the Spawn's mentor and one of the Phlebiac Brothers. He is a very powerful force with superhuman strength the equivalent of 15 strong men. He can breathe fire, shapeshift, possess others, and survive multiple types of attacks except for decapitation from an angel or hellspawn. He views humanity as weak and thinks that demons should lead the armies of Hell, not Spawn. He is determined to prove his superiority to his master. Since he can't kill them without an order, he weakens them by causing them to waste their powers. He has died many times and been reanimated by his master. After the death of the Spawn, Clown started to build his own army to bring down the kingdom of Heaven. He kills anyone who is aware of the Spawn's demise. He isn't "Clowning Around".

Complete the following Tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with demons
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with angels
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with a bald character
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with all the letters of SPAWN in the title/series

Jojo the Klownzilla and the Klowns

Jojo is the 18 foot tall leader of the killer klowns with yellow eyes and purple hair. All the other killer klowns show formal respect to him.

The Klowns look like circus clowns but they are murderous aliens. Their names are Jumbo, Fatso, Shorty, Rudy, Spike, Slim, Bibbo, Chubby, Frank, Joe, Slam, Mojo, Bippo, Bash, Killbo, Danny, Crinkles, Magori, Storefront, Talls, Rosebud and Daisy. They invade a small town to capture, kill and harvest humans. The Klowns shoot humans with popcorn from bazooka-like weapons. Humans that are captured are encased in pink cotton candy like cocoons using ray gun weapons. Then the Klowns drink human blood while they are in the cocoons.

There are so many Klowns so each team will be assigned a Klown to catch & cage.

First, you will need a cage: Read a book with all the letters of CAGE in the title
then
Spell out the Klown's name
You have been assigned: Bibbo

Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books tagged aliens
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books with 18 intact in the page count
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books set in small towns

I've got high-scoring books for the B's in Bibbo

500+, 700+ & 900+

[Shan ~A~]

I can take the I ~ my book is 350 unless someone has a book with a higher page count for it

[Richard]

I'm currently reading for the cage & will be done in a few hours

With a 500+ page book.

[Richard]

Anastasia wrote: "That leaves me with the O, I will have to look for a book"

[Anastasia]

Finished my 4 for Jojo

[Richard]

I'm struggling finding '18' in the page count

[Anastasia]

Richard wrote: "I'm struggling finding '18' in the page count"

If you like I can take this one for you

[Anastasia]

My kindle edition of Tripwire has 418 pages. I am reading it for turf wars anyway

[Shan ~A~]

The number in page count is always hard. I just got lucky that a book I was reading for another group's buddy read worked or I'd probably still be searching

Art

Art is a demonic killer clown who is mute and mimes. He only appears on Halloween nights to wreak havoc and torture. He appears in all black & white carrying a black trash bag with various crude weapons. His face is painted pale white, while his eyes, mouth, and eyebrows are painted black. He wears a white bald cap on his head, complete with a small black hat strapped to the top.

Art is extremely dangerous. He slaughters nearly everyone he encounters. He has supernatural abilities and can induce paralyzing fear in his victims. He will chase, stalk, and terrorize his victims. Then he decides whether to sadistically mutilate them or spare their lives, leaving them with the trauma he has inflicted on them. He never speaks but he will mime screams of pain when injured. Art is very theatrical while killing in a very animated and comedic manner. He silently laughs during his sadistic pursuits. When cornered, he does exhibit cowardly tendencies. He will cheat or shoot himself rather than deal with the police. His arrogance does tend to crumble when the odds shift and victims fight back.

Complete the following tasks
Arm 1: Read a chain of 3 books with white covers (minimum 50%)
Arm 2: Read a chain of 3 books with a hat (or more) on the cover
Leg 1: Read a chain of 3 books that start with a letter in ART (team must choose one letter)
Leg 2: Read a chain of 3 books with characters with supernatural abilities

[Shan ~A~]

I vote for T for Leg 1. My next two books, after the one I'm reading, start with "The"

[Anastasia]

T is a good choice as The is pretty common.

[Richard]

That's fine with me
