Looking back in the history, the post describing the "wrong" box actually had the right phrase on it. So even if we were expecting a puzzle about tiny little details, we didn't have the right information to actually accomplish this. We looked like fools for nothing.
Well.
Anyway, let's find a monster or something. :P

The post describing the wrong box had To my House I am bound on it. Whisp explained the box you were looking for had To my House am I bound. Admittedly the only difference is the I and Am are swapped, yes, but it was deliberate. And since it was very unpopular, both the penalties and rewards for catching onto or missing such subtle details have been removed from the later sections. I am very sorry you feel I made a fool out of you guys, but the idea was to start you guys thinking about wordplay and the like for the more political section. Again, those word play sections have been removed now, and this will not happen again. Promise.
Also, I may not be around tomorrow, as I'll be heading to my Grandma's funeral...and then going to work, since I couldn't arrange cover. Well, no, my boss offered...but she's 6 months pregnant and working the morning shift, so I couldn't let her do that. Sorry to start us up again only to possibly take another break, but Fridays can sometimes be...hectic and I'll like as not only have an hour or two spare.

Yup. XD It was always my intention to focus heavily on the transformation side of things, and this ensures plenty of interesting new options.

So, I've realized that I've got 2 talents to spend, and I've finally learned about advanced talents and drawbacks and all that stuff.
Also, while Mystic's randomness is fun, it's also just more things to keep track of, so I'm thinking of swapping out that dip for something else.
I may be posting an updated Julie statblock proposal, now that we're out of combat.

Hmm... My theoretical modifications are getting to the degree to where I should probably just wait until we level up or rest for the night. I've discovered I can finagle around my build by switching to Hedgewitch, resulting in doing literally everything I can do now, but with slightly less uses per day, but with a lot more out of combat utility.
Seeing it would reduce my uses per day past what I've already spent, it wouldn't be fair to make those changes now.

Sorry, as some of you already know I got distracted by a family issue, my step-father being diagnosed with cancer.
So, shall we assume you leave the remaining attackers under Seria's well armed care? Do you want to finish them off? Or would you like to present a third option?

So, as you might have noticed, I'm running really slowly in this game. I'll be honest - I don't know why. The story is in my mind, the interest is there, but the energy isn't.
As some of you know from other games, I am having some personal issues. The details are a little depressing, but I'll sum it up as I've lost or am about to loose a lot of close family members over the last 18 months or so. I've already lost my brother and grandmother, and now I'm losing the man who raised me when my actual father decided sleeping with everyone and drinking all the food money were good plans.
To the surprise of no one, I've been diagnosed as having depression. The main symptom of that? Lack of energy.
For some reason, while I've been...OK at keeping up with other games and such, this game keeps falling by the wayside. For one, I keep thinking other folks need to post, and when I start thinking 'maybe I sould deal with stuff anyway' I tend to get distracted. Mostly, I admit, by Stardew Valley.
So, basically, I intend to keep going. However, for at least a short while, I am going to be slow. I'll therefore understand if folks want to drop out.

The difference between the two is semantic at best.
Also, to make things clear: I have no issues out of character about people acting over Lady Karnelia's head.
Being hesitant and not taking her place is who she is (mostly due to her family life), and it's only logical that more assertive or forceful characters would step over her.

Holy.. Dueling Sphere.. Bleed damage that works for my chainsword and Cut From the Air... Yess..... If I can still take Smash From the Air at level 9 I totally wanna make the switch..

So...what the hell happened?
The short version is dead relatives, physical illness and depression sapped my energy, and this game just got...forgotten. Unfortunately, I'll be honest - it's going to remain so. I've lost my drive in the plotline for now, I'm afraid. And my energy is still very hit and miss.
This doesn't automatically mean I won't pick up this idea at a later date - I've done so with another game - but for now...yeah.
I am terribly sorry, both for stopping so close to end of the first part and for not simply admitting it. I kept thinking 'I'll go pick that up' and then...not.
Thank you all for being wonderful players.
Jon.
