(Chapter 3 story thread up in a few.)

Both the puzzle and the challenge for this Chapter are due Jun 23rd at 11:59 pm Subeta time.

The puzzle should be sent by smail and the challenge posted on the story thread. Add as much RP as you like, but the "gift" prepared is the crux of the matter. This is a class-specific challenge for your Bard. Everyone else will be immobile, although you will not be silenced. You will just be unable to move from your spot.

If there is no Bard in your party, you may use your Vagabond. If there are two Bards, you must decide if it will be a duet, or which one of you will do it. This challenge is wide-open as to selection and style of delivery, but it must meet the class. No fireball or potion brew substitutions. This is a BARDIC challenge.

Questions or comments welcome!

Yes! Bard challenge. Now I'm all giddy already. I just hope Aodh won't mess it up.

Oh a bard challenge, this could be so cool! :D I am way excited to hear about the challenge!

Same! :D I'm sure Angelica will do a great job! 👍 ()

About the puzzle:

This cryptogram is a slightly edited quote from one of the favorite scenes in WS3. It not only got lots of comments, but a TON of smails. Have fun with it!

AHAHA THIS SCENE. I remember this scene. I /loved/ this scene. Unfortunately, knowing this scene means I figured out a good portion of the letters with just two words, but...ah well. ^.^;;

Well, that's always a chance, and it was outrageously popular. Not to worry, the puzzles WILL get harder, and harder, and.....

giggles Love your HA, by the way. What's the pretty kitty~?

That's the

Not that I don't love the character, which I do, but I'm glad to be "me" again. (Boytars make me weep!)

There's an too

You made a very lovely boy, though! snickers

Thanks? hehe

Folks, I love the generator I used for longer cryptos, BUT it put an error in the puzzle. The first three letters on line 8 are not a new word, but the end part of the last word on line 7. Please connect them before you drive yourselves bonkers!

Like this? o:

Yes, it's evidently an error in format. Basically, if it doesn't make sense, attach it to the piece before or after.

Okay! Thank you! 👍

It's not really a hard one--so if you start, it should be obvious. I hope! grits teeth

A few more times that words get broken up are

End of line 10-beginning of 11 End of line 17-beginning of 18 End of line 21-beginning of 22

Haha I hope so too! 😳

you have no idea how happy that image made me!

I LOOOOOVVVVVVVEEEEEEE the great doctor :)

shame we'll never get more of it after the tragedy but what can you do.

puts thinking cap on This will be interesting, bard challenges are the best in my opinion :)

Small question. Are the companions rooted also? I was thinking of using mine with this, but I won't if they are immobile.

I just completed the word puzzle thing and read further (yes I'm THAT type of person...)

LE GASP!!!! you want my dark elf.... to sing!!!!

Madam, might I remind you that my vegabond makes his living as a hired bounty hunter and assassin? whatever he comes up with... won't inspire trust -_-;
