We have a few months left to go, in all likelihood. I know, it's a long haul, but we'll be there before you know it, I assure you.
Today's Tips:
- Items with an unclear description might require something special in order to be utilized. If you have something that you can't seem to do anything with right now, just hang onto it: You might find a way to in the future.
- If you find yourself lagging behind in levels, it might be a good idea to try latching onto a guild. If not, then make absolutely sure you get "Experience" questions correct! They're there to give you a leg-up.
- You cannot, as an action, say "I want to target the enemy with the least HP," and likewise, you can't say "I want target the contestant with the least points." These are hidden to you. You can, however, use your OWN points- or your summons- in creating actions. For instance, "I want to attack myself, but only if my summon's HP is less than 100!" is perfectly legal (though a rather strange action).
OK, let's get this week started.
--------
We had dealt with the guards, and they went down without too much trouble.
"Daniel, this was a really great idea. I don't think we made enough noise to be noticed by any other guards!" Wooley was pretty excited.
"And look!" Lily appeared to have stumbled upon something. "There's a little trapdoor going underground, from the looks of it, hidden by some rocks here. Do you think this might lead right into the basement?"
It looked old and unused, but we made our way down through the rotting door, and found ourselves in a musty, rancid-smelling pit. Torches burned on the walls, and a corridor led under the castle, making it evident that this would lead us in the right direction.
"Ugh, what stinks so bad?" Veronica cried out.
"Ohhhh... it is the bubbling brew that I use to make my concoctions, my love."
We whirled around, and noticed a strange-looking, very old humanoid dressed in a blue cape and hunched over a vast and eclectic collection of strange-looking items. He looked up at us with a toothy, horrifying smile.
"Don't look so surprised, my friends. I've dwelled here for a dozen dozen years, just waiting for people like yourselves... the rats are good company in this forgotten pit of darkness."
"Who are you? Why do you call us your friends?"
"My name? It is Zaile. I am ever pleased to meet you. The others, they think me dead. I used to be a slave for His Majesty, but I made my disappearance long ago. Little do they know how close I remain... I've been waiting, FEEDING off of the life around me, in the hopes of giving a little help to anyone who would go in there and show that... Mazell... what it means to be mortified."
Shayla looked a little bit fearful. "We have to go. This corridor; does it lead to the dungeon?"
"Why yes... but please, stay for a bit. Keep me company. I'd be very happy to exchange some of these items, if only you'll give me some..." --he closed his eyes and sighed deeply-- "... life..."
Shayla looked at everyone else sternly. "We don't have time. We must hurry along! This could be a trap!"
Zaile looked almost hurt. "Help an old and frail one- I only wish to help you..."
"Y-you know, it does look like there are some useful items there..." Lily looked hesitant. "Maybe it wouldn't hurt to at least check things out before we move on..."
A cry cut through the dead air of the dungeon. There were a bunch of monsters down here in this old path; there was no doubt about that. As we debated what to do with this strange character, time ticked by...

#79:
b) Final Fantasy XII (70 Points)
Say what you will, but there's no question here. They're both composed by the same awesome Sakimoto, and both Breath of Fire: DQ and FFXII have some similar-sounding tracks.
#80:
b) Green Hair (75 Points)
OK. Honestly, I really can't believe how much of a landslide this is. They're all just different wavelengths of light! Wait until you see the tally. Purple: 8; Green: 43; Red: 9; Pink: 1; Yellow: 4. Crazy. What RPG hero even has green hair?! Oh, I know- the hero of DQIV. Oh yes.

Honesty is important! Don't spoil the game. Keep in mind that masqueraders will be obvious, since two submissions under the same name will cause me to fire an e-mail to the true competitor based on my records, where I can verify their actions. Anybody caught cheating in this manner will be immediately removed from the competition!
Please fill out your nickname and your actions for the day! Place your answer choices in the respective boxes (don't worry about being precise with wording or anything), and write your action in the action box. You can equip or unequip stuff once per day without taking your action up, too. Examples of actions could be "I want to attack Li'l Ant!" or "I want to buy two Eye Dropses!" or "I want to buy a Wood Sword and Smelling Salts, and I want to equip the Wood Sword!"
