- Watching DeceasedCrab's LP of Cocoron.

- Charging DS... for the second time today.

- Is wondering if she'll ever get any more readers of her KQ5 fanfic or her QFG1 fanfic besides two people.

- Is silently cursing Delling. Why? Well, a month or so ago, I sent him a message (and Sir Cray as well as per usual) saying "Hey, how this chapter 6 look to you?"

He responded by saying Graham needs to be more clever which I agreed.

...And that's where I got stuck. I couldn't think of ANYTHING! The closest I could think of, was having The Witch call out a bunch of forest monsters (wolves, man eating plants, owls, crows enc) to surround Graham and Cedric to rip them to shreds.

Cedric (who is a human mage in my story) brandishes his wand for combat, but Graham says "Cedric! Don't try to be a hero!"

Cedric replies, "Well, do you have any other bright ideas Graham?!"

Graham doesn't answer. He's too but trying to quickly formulate a plan in his head. C'mon think! Think! What would father do in this situation?

I stopped after that, because I couldn't think of any better situations for Graham to be clever and tempt The Witch (one of Delling' suggestions was having them run away, and Graham drops the lamp. But, Graham has the amulet, and Cedric knows a "Shield Spell" to protect himself so they both should be fine) or figure out a way to get them out of this currently written bad situation they're in.

The scene I'd thought up was similar to the scene in KQ2+ when [spoiler] Graham is heading back to the Kolyma Swamp to give the Tiara to Count Caldaur, and surrounded by The Brotherhood Pack including their leader, and the Boatman Charon isn't there. There are a few ways to die here:

Do nothing or try to run away (as i have personally tested), which gets you struck down by the leader ("Oh, for howling out loud!" says Mr. Narrator in one of many favorite lines).

Slice up one of the wolves (not the leader) with your sword, and then one of the other wolves pounces on you ("You are clearly outnumbered here. Perhaps a change of target would be wise.")

Fire the pea-shooter silver needle at the leader wolf... without tipping it with poison first which just makes it bounce harmlessly off him, and then he kills you anyway ("You'll need more than silver alone to defeat this pack of wolves.")

Stab yourself with the poisoned silver needle and die instantly ("As the poison instantly takes effect, you barely have seconds to decide that this was not such a good idea.")

Fire the poisoned pea-shooter at one of the wolves (not the leader) and then he leader kills you ("Choice of tactic: Excellent. Choice of target: Deplorable.")

The way to solve this is, of course, killing the leader with the poisoned pea-shooter silver needle, and the Brotherhood runs off nto the swamp, lost forever. After that, you can safely cross the lake and day finally dawns.[/spoiler]
I thought that a similar situation with The Witch would work: get rid of the leader with the Lamp, and the Bad Things would leave our two heroes alone. And also, because The Witch is gone, the forest would restore itself over the course of a day or two and turn the frogs back into humans.

Grrrr!

This isn't helped by the fact that we're moving soon, so I gotta focus on packing soon.

Seems nice so far at least.  But yeah, we were supposed to be flying out tonight to Boston but everything is cancelled til after the hurricane. I've got my laptop though so I can at least still work. I feel more bad for my boyfriend whose work does not travel and who had no laptop or anything with him!
