Hmm... this might be tougher than I thought. But then again, none of you really tried to think out of the box yet. :creative: ;)


Let's recap all clues you have so far:
  • Inside the walls, inside the castle, in the VIP room:
    Zamolxis who brought Genie, Dragon & Pixie
  • Garden decorations:
    Nomad, Phoenix (Kristo)
    Ghost (Macros)
    Sprite, Imp, Griffin (Koni)
    Angel, Mage, Hydra (Asheera)
    Faerie Dragon (Lord Lakely)
  • You don't need to have played H3 to figure this out.
Now, for some reason, my money go on Kalah or ThunderTitan that they might figure this out first - provided they'll join this round - but we'll see (take this as an incentive ;) - for Kalah & TT to raise to the occasion, and for others to prove me wrong:p)

And a piece of advise: instead of guessing, try bringing some more creatures. The more creatures will be in one list or another, the more obvious what separates them might become more obvious. B-)

Yeah, but that counts for everyone :P
If I bring the creature that makes it obvious, someone else can gain on my guess and snatch the win. So...


But alright. I'll bring a Gold Golem.

I present a Nightmare and I receive access to the most secure area of the castle - the royal quarters (next I can think of would be queen's chambers... don't make me go there :p)


So let's see what we have so far (and trying to add another clue):
  • Passed the walls, inside the castle, passed the VIP room, roaming around in the royal quarters:
    Zamolxis who brought Genie, Dragon, Pixie & Nightmare
  • Garden decorations:
    Nomad, Phoenix (Kristo)
    Ghost, Gold Golem (Macros)
    Sprite, Imp, Griffin (Koni)
    Angel, Mage, Hydra, Gargoyle (Asheera)
    Faerie Dragon, Faerie (Lord Lakely)
    Harpy (SWST)
  • You don't need to have played H3 to figure this out. As a matter of fact, you don't need to have played any Heroes game to figure this out (it may help a bit, but it's not essential).
  • It has nothing to do with creature's ability to fly, their speed or price. Same as for previous clue, this is all still in-the-box thinking. Try to figure out what the box may be, in order to get rid of it. And for that the only thing I can say to help you, is to throw in even more creatures, until you figure out what separates the two lists ;)
(Oh, and try to get Kalah & TT in here. My intuition still tells me one of them might be the first to figure out at least half of the solution) ;)

BINGO!


You can start the ne........ wait, no,.. that did sound like a nice code, but now I remember it's not really what I had in mind when I started this round. So I'm afraid you'll have to keep on guessing.... :P

I suppose a Conscript won't get in right? :P
All humans do is to go to a place, bountiful of nature, and live there. Then the human multiplies and sucks all the wonders there. They move to the next. There is one thing that works the same way as that: a virus.

I'm bringing a Devil and I can get even further in. :tongue:

Somewhere, in a highly restricted area of the castle, Zam enters queen's chambers. Meanwhile outside, in front of the wall, the gate keeper checks if anyone brought an appropriate gift:
- Asheera... no.

- Milla... no.

- Lord Lakely... hehe, interesting choice. Perhaps another time. But no, for now they're of no more use than any of the other garden decorations (unless they wish to give it a try themselves).

- a55a55in... what? you came here empty handed? Not nice. If only fantasy creatures can get in? Well, take a look around at our nice garden or listen to Milla. You have your answer now? ;)

- Borsuc. Hmm... who was it again before you? Milla? Then no, it's still not the appropriate gift. But keep the Conscript for now. Not only is he too ugly for garden decoration, but he might be of some use at some point to you (or others), in order to facilitate the entrance.
Next hint after 5 more creature gift attempts. :devious: (if someone doesn't guess it by then)

The Code is that the frist letter of the world starts with Either two or three letters before or after the previous poster.

His Lordship => N (third after)
Borsuc => D (second after)
Kristo => G (third before)
Macros => P (second after)

Or smth like that.

If Genie and Devil get in, then an Efreet should as well.
