Accessory Bin: Big Fab Bows



Make a rather large statement with these new fabulous bows from the Accessory Bin.

Clothing Rack: Steele Excavations Tees



Look back at your fond memories of the excavation site with these new tees from the Clothing Rack!

Missing Plot Prizes

Looks like we accidentally left out a couple of plot prizes earlier! Oops!

Go back to the treasure room for the possibility of two more prizes!

Steele Excavation Plot: Treasures Galore

Everyone happy with their loot? I told you I was fair. I just know that you guys will make sure that stuff goes immediately to a museum. It would just be unseemly if we kept these things personally, or sold them to other people of taste. In an unrelated note, I think I'm going to buy that yacht I had my eye on.

I have to say, I'm a bit disappointed. Some dinosaur-looking things? Like anyone wanted one of those! And what were they doing down in an ancient temple, for that matter? What's with Butterface? She has to be on the mural for a reason. And who sent me the coordinates and artifact? And why?

Really, this whole thing seemed to ask more questions than it answered, didn't it? If this were a movie, I would call that a sequel hook. But real life doesn't have sequels, just ask Vernon Yun! Too soon? Too soon.

And yet... I have your contact info, right? Just in case I need a crew in the future.

Free Gift: Blake Steele Doll



There is a new free gift available courtesy of Steele Excavations! This little doll is closest you can come to hanging out with the real Blake Steele! Fortunately (or unfortunately?) this doll even has a built-in voice box with recorded sayings!

Weekend Quests


Quentin is the weekend quest! Do those quests for increased prizes and special rewards!

Cash Shop: Minions Giapa and Beaky




While you recover from the pandamonium of pecking away at those stone beasts, let's take a peep at some unbearably cute minions in the cash shop!

No attempts to bamboozle you here – these minions transform into other things, too. Feather you like books or plushies, wearables or stickers, it would be ursinine to ignore Giapa and Beaky.

Steele Excavation Plot: The Guardian is Defeated!

Huh, well, that wasn't exactly what I was expecting for my husband, you know? I'm sure he's a perfectly good guy, but he sure was pissed that we busted into his bedroom. I don't think we're compatible in species or size, and we'll just leave the details left unsaid.

I guess I fulfilled my promise of archaeology beefcake, technically. Mummies were a no-go, apparently. I guess you guys can be the babes. Smiley was the beefcake, and you've met me already. It seems like all I have to make good on is my promise of treasure.

HA, SCREW YOU GUYS, I WAS THE EVIL OVERLORD ALL ALONG. NOW THE TREASURE IS MINE, AND I WILL BE LEAVING YOU IN THE TEMPLE WHILE I RUN AWAY, DRAWING MY CAPE AROUND MYSELF AND TWIRLING MY MUSTACHE! YOU DIDN'T EXPECT THAT, DID YOU? I AM SO NEFARIOUS!

No, that would be so lame of me. And who the heck wears a cape to go exploring, anyway?

I did manage to get a peek into that room Smiley Beefcake was blocking. I mean, I didn't get a great look, but I did see something big and sparkly. You think this guy is gonna waste his time down in this dark pit guarding something worthless? Yeah, I think not.

However, before we go uh... "preserve" historical items by placing them safely in our pockets, let me just take a minute to figure out who gets dibs. Don't make that face at me. Do you want somebody who just wandered in yesterday to waltz off with the Ark of the Covenant while you get stuck with some chintzy pottery? Probably not, so give me a second here. I'm all about fairness, y'know?

By the way, those of you who did just wander in? I don't have all the time in the world, so if you still want to poke around the temple, I'd suggest you do that pretty soon.

Saheric Temple Guardian!

If you're battling, you probably just noticed this guy's massive health jump.

Long story short, we caught some people cheating. They got in a loooot of damage by cheating, and took away the opportunity for the rest of you to kill him legitimately.

So we've added back the damage they did, since we didn't think it was fair to count their damage against the whole.

Happy battling!

Beanbag Shop: Rocky Beanbags



These new beanbags from the Beanbag Shop look mighty uncomfortable.
