I wonder if anyone who chose not to continue the plot, but kept the Temple t-shirt will be able to sell it later? o_O

It was probably another no-trade item, like the crystals and the scroll.

If this is anything like a soap opera, and it seems to be then I would almost suspect the least that we would normally expect, somehow.

If it is a soap, then Tomos is really Jazan's second cousin's former roommate from grad school; Amira is really Nabile's evil twin born to a different mother; and Scordax is really Nightsteed's secret lover in disguise.

I think Tomos and Nabile make a great professional team -- nothing in real life says they need to be married to work together. As for romantic interest, erm... I still think Tomos hasn't lived up to the role of hero that was indicated by the holo card, so I hope there's more to him than just being Nabile's castoff.

I agree. Nabile should have been the holo card. She is a much better hero. I also agree about the love intrest. They would have been acting like it earlier if there was really something there. That doesn't mean Tomos still can't be a sore loser.

Last thing. I totally called it when I figure Megan wasn't plot related. That is too bad though. I like Aishas, and the cards have never had a hero in another set to date.

Edit: I love days like this when I can go away and have nothing happen.

Edit 2:

nice idea sky, but I don't think you need to have gotten to the scroll to collect points. TNT said they'd be giving points based on any sections you complete. Not necessarily including the last.

Yeah. You have a point. I didn't realize until later that you could start then stop and still not get your scroll.

Spoiler!!!

Here's the next comic text.

(Highlight to read. Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for any nausea, death via laughter, or other reactions to this comic. Yeah, it's that bad.)

Quote:

Let me in! Let me in!
Thank you! What was that thing?
Another of Jazan's creations sent to torment us. It gets worse everyday!
If you want to seek refuge here, you need to speak to the quartermaster over there. As you see, things are getting crowded in here.
While Tomos settles as a refugee, Nabile and the handmaiden are escorted to the palace. There, Jazan is overseeing the final preparations for his wedding.

They arrive to find that the wedding ceremony has already begun.
Have my bride brought forth.
Get your hands off me, you thugs!
If anyone knows why these two should not be married, let them speak now...
I do. The prince does not love Amira and she absolutely hates him.
How dare you interrupt! You! How did you leave my tower?

You know I speak the truth. You also know the curse will not be broken unless true love unites you with your bride.
My goodness! It can't be! She looks just like Princess Neera.
Princess who?
A long time ago Princess Neera brought her family to shame after she fell in love with a simple peasant. Her father cast her out of the palace and lefte her to live in poverty with her husband.
If she is truly a descendant of Princess Neera then she is a of royal blood and Amira's distant cousin.
I have read your history Jazan, and I know you were once a kind prince. Deep down I believe there is still a good heart inside you. This wickedness is the curse — it isn't you!
Amira may not love you, but I do!

Nabile, no! Don't do it!
No one has ever offered me such kindness.
Princess Amira, I release you from your obligation. Let us begin the ceremony again.
And so it came to pass that Nabile, a descendant from the royal line of Sakhmet, married Jazan, Prince of Qasala.
The moment he placed the ring on her finger, the city of Sakhmet returned to the world of the living and the monsters vanished.
Nabile returned to Qasala with Jazan as her husband...
...and together they began rebuilding the kingdom.

Edit: Please respect the people who don't want to see it, and if you're going to talk about it at all, hide your words.

That's awful. And thank you for posting it that way. Very nice for those that don't want to know. Hmmm... I wonder what the darkest faerie plot is going to be like...

muzzle32 · **Posted:** Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:55 am

great idea for posting a spoiler.

unfortunately, it's so....anticlimactic. i was hoping for a little fire and brimstone, and some more battledome foes before it was all over.

EDIT: does anyone else think that TNT just kinda gave up on this one? making us run all over the repository for weeks on end, and all the pointless tasks in general....really it's just busy work, not real puzzle solving or any action.

Ledi · **Posted:** Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:57 am

Oh dear... tht was so... amusing. ^^

But it feels kinda rushed and anticlimatic, yeah... like the end of the Bori plot.

amusing nonetheless. Thanks!

Skynetmain · **Posted:** Thu Nov 10, 2005 12:57 am

Thanks for the spoiler, dolphin. Very revealing. Who knew that [censored]?!

I bet the Darkest Faerie plot will be another stupid war. Going through the cards, that seems most likely. Once again we get a head-strong Lupe as the hero. Yay. We need to lead a Zafara uprising to take over a plot of their own.

Edit: [censored] means that this was such a weak ending. A better dues ex machina would have been so much more prefered.

Omg. That did make me nauseous. It's as if someone threw together this storyline in five minutes or less.

I don't think I'm going to involve myself in any more plots. This shall be my first and last.

So now what with our part of the plot? (still drumming fingers)

Dolphin care to share how you obtained that script when it hasn't even been released? What is the secret?

No, it was definitely puzzle solving, the problem is that once it's out in the open, you don't get the fun of solving it, you just have to go through the steps.

Through 1 part hard work, 3 parts waiting for it to be released, and 8 parts staggering genius
