((Looks like this has turned into a suggestion game))

"But... you can come so long as you stay near me at all times."

[Parsely]

Yayy!! c: I promise I won't let you down!! (`･ω･´)ゞ

[kj1225]

Kyle pats her on the shoulder and goes inside.

[Parsely]

Revi has joined the party!

((Looks like this has turned into a suggestion game))

Did you really want that conversation to drag out through the updates? And you guys can turn anytime you want. There's still a lot left to go.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Where do you get these things?

I'm not sure what to do. Lore's furious. Alex would probably try to stay quiet.

My Google-Fu is strong.

And I suggest you try solving the riddle. Lore is pouting specifically so that you guys can do whatever you want.

[GreatWyrmGold]

...Really? If you're going to pull that on me again, I demand you make it one actually worth solving. This is too easy. It's not even a riddle, it's a complicated word problem.

Thaegan exists. (1)
So do her children. (13)
Same with the toads. (13*1)
Why do the toads have grubs on them? (13*1*2)
And why are fleas wasting their time on grubs? (13*1*2*2)
And of course there's no way to estimate mice, pets, or other such critters, but eh.

Barring some kind of system-specific screwery about how sorceresses aren't alive or something, the answer is 105.

Again? I've given you dumb word problems before?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Yes. Just now. Remember? The sorceress and her thirteen children and all the critters in the cave?

[mastahcheese]

I would have went ahead and said that, but I can't read.

...I suppose, technically, that last action of mine was a little out-of-character, too, but I'll just say he interpreted it from the way Alex suddenly stopped.

[GreatWyrmGold]

I would have went and solved it, but I didn't think it was important.

And blurting out the answer to a riddle when the grown-up in the room is raging over the fact that it's just a riddle seems kind of...odd. Certainly out of character.

It was supposed to be one of those moments where the seemingly innocuous detail is skimmed over by the 'smart' character and the young/inexperienced/carefree/simpleminded/blockheaded character focuses upon it, solving a key problem or opening a secret door that the group was looking for. >.>

Its not odd at all. You're a kid dude. Kids get distracted and do things when adults aren't looking. He's mad because it looks like its just a simple child's riddle, and it is, but its just camouflage (which apparently worked a bit too well..). Its more than it appears to be, and you should be interested in it because you're a child and it would take you a good bit of thinking to solve it.

In-character? You treated the riddle like an adult whom a simple math problem like that would come easy to. Definitely not in-character. :l

Yes. Just now. Remember? The sorceress and her thirteen children and all the critters in the cave?

You didn't solve it in character just yet. You were in the process of solving it, that is when you ran out of fingers and were preparing to count on your toes, because I was making a joke about how the, for all intents and purposes, smart character is bad at maths.

[GreatWyrmGold]

...Well, you know what I bet would help?
The rest of the riddle. Because, right now, it looks like the old St. Ives riddle without the twist.
