You have the correct number of visitors, Av, but one of those is wrong. :P

Consider: Terisa was thrown into the dungeon for helping somebody escape from Orison. That somebody is the wrong name. But again, she did have four different visitors.

The Tor and Master Quillon?

Correct! Besides Lebbick, who doesn't count as a "visitor" (considering it's his dungeon), Terisa is visited by Artagel, the Tor, Master Eremis, and Master Quillon.


Very good! :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :) :biggrin: 8) :D :)

That's some smileywall! ;)

So I get the next question? Continuing from my last question, Terisa during her many attacks and altercations was hurt several times. You listed: knocked by Termigan guards, cut her cheek by Mountback Gart and Gilbur Darsinting her into an avalanche. Find another example.

Oh, you're RIGHT, Shadowbinding Shoe, we never gave a satisfactory answer to your question, did we? (Sorry, I should never try to post on here when I'm tired! Obviously, I'm prone to errors in that mental state.)
Let's see, when Terisa is at the crossroads with Artagel and guards from both Mordant's and Alend's armies, seven Alend guards and three Mordant guards are killed by the black spot creatures before Terisa breaks the mirror of the renegade Imagers. Is that the answer you were looking for?

We had the previous one right. :D His next question was give another example of when they were attacked, so your answer should also be valid. :D

Yes, Avatar is correct and you as well. During that attack Artagel drops her off her horse to protect her better and flings her about on the gound after that. She must have gained a few bruises from that.

Okay, this question concerns events around that time in the story (shortly afterwards, to be more accurate). Who is the first in Mordant's army to realize that Margonal intends Alend's army to march with Mordant's army towards Esmerel?

No, Lebbick is dead by this point, and Norge has been appointed by the Tor to replace him. But it's a Mordant soldier, all right!

Nope, not Artagel! You are certainly narrowing it down, though! :)

Ribuld is the correct answer! And we know that Argus is dead by this point in the story, so who else could it be? :P

Yeah, Ribuld went uninvited with the Tor, Terisa, and Geraden into the camp of the Alends, but wasn't allowed inside Margonal's tent. Instead, he watched the Alends preparing to march with Mordant's army, and kept it a secret--because it amused him and because he might be wrong about what it all meant.

Anyway, good going, Avatar, and your question! :letsparty:

(The dancing bananas needed a rest, tonight.)
