Man, your right! * Shouts *
Ok, people, no more pts.!

Hi, Aliya, nice picture!

I'm sure I know what this is, but I don't want to spoil the next 3 days' worth of guessing fun.
Can I send you a message to get my guess in?

Not sure how it works, but we have these "Send Message" buttons on our profiles. I should fill mine out a bit!

-Ponapel

Well, Ponapel...
Of course, you can send me a message. Just a little... you know... embarassed (I correct write it, didn't I?)

Write your e-mail:
Mine: 1ce-cold@mail.ru (Yes, I'm Russian )

[Ponapel]

My email is enabled in my profile here. (Just click on "Ponapel" over where my avatar should be) Same for getting to the "Send Message" feature. (I believe this is known as PMing someone, PM for Personal Message)

I emailed you anyway a little while ago, please check!

Alas, you must have just missed my edit last post, where I suddenly remembered the PM feature.
I sure didn't wish to cause you any embarrassment, sorry! You are very kind for giving your email so quickly!

But since I made you give out yours, here's mine for all to see:

ponapel@yahoo.com

Okay, I just tried the PM thing too. check your own profile page, at the very top right corner, where it says "#new messages."

Gee. Ponapel answered the questions quickly (and painfully) and correctly. Nice work!

Now to the 4th picture:
Deadline: 4th of August,
Questions:
1. Name the creatures. ( * Snicker *, You know them, trust me...)
2. Where is this place?
3. Strongest creature in this place? ( Very hard to kill...)
4. What are the creatures doing?
5. What special hmm... abilities, do they have?

The next will, be more interesting. You'll need to answer 7 questions. But now enjoy this one!

argh this one is hard!! o_O but I must admit I played BG2 only once (even if it was just last year)
my first thought was humberhulks, but now they look more like demons to me.
strongest creature, very hard to kill.... it's either Firkraag (but he can be easily be killed with speech-killing bug) but there are not demons, there's just Tazok; the other very hard to kill creature is the Demogorgon in the expansion... there were demons and devils fighting each other in that place, too


I surrender!! :-(

[Galsic]

Yep, they's be umber hulks, Tor Gal's pets, in the dungeon (oh, right, "cellar") area of Nalia's Keep, chowing down on puppy stew, thinkin' they're all badass with their confuse glare ability (I guess they're pretty good diggers, too).

Oh, my! I didn't post the answers to the 3rd picture:


1. This is Temple Ruins Lvl 2. This place is right after the "Amaunator" puzzle.
2. This is shadow.
3. As you approach it, with your PC, shadow will talk to you. It will ask you to escort it after the Fire Puzzle. As you escort it, he will attack.
4. In the chamber lies the third and final piece of Symbol.
5. There is a statue, about you all know. There lies Sling of Arvoreen +4, 10 Sunstone Bullets, Scroll of Disintagrate and Protection From Magical Weapons and a note how to pass Dusk Test.

[Ponapel]

Ah, good, this is going again! I was afraid I kinda derailed the normal process of things last time, & messed with a good working system. Well, I'll remember that next time I "don't want to spoil the fun." Sorry, everybody.

That Shadow in solid form was pretty tricky - but it does have a subtle trademark branching to its tail, & those hands... Some crafty attention to detail by Aliya - Good job! Gotta love the big grins on the umber hulks here too.
(Wait, could they really be umber hulks then? Now I'm strangely confused... Oh, okay, never mind!)

Picture 4:
Question 3 seems to still be unanswered, with TorGal being mentioned only as a pet owner so far. Let's officially put him in for this spot - at least make it clear for the judges ;-)

[Aliya]

Since I installed BG1, I'll post pictures from BG1, too.

The 5th picture is on!
Deadline: 7th of August.
1. What is this place?
2. What's going on in house #1?
3. What's going on in house #2?
4. What's going on in house #3?
5. What's going on in house #4?

You must describe it.

The 4th picture winner is Sir_Carnifex! (Doesn't surprize me. ) He PMed me.



Oh, and one more thing: Please don't PM me, answer in this topic.

Correct answers on:

1. Umber Hulks.
2. This is De' Arnise Castle lvl 3.
3. Tor Gal (Boy, he dies in my game after 3rd attempt).
4. Well, Umber Hulks are eating The Dog Stew (Brrr....).
5. Confusion (I. Do. Not. Love. This. Confusion.)

[Epantiras]

oh noes Aliya this is even much more evi than the last one ;-)
I think it's the Nashkel carnival
the tents:
1) a shop with the red and violet potion
2) a gambling hall with Vitiare, ?master thief and pickpocket extraordinaire,? will steal some gold from you when you enter
3) the mage Zondral who wants to kill the 'witch' Bentha (reminds me of Edwin)
4) some merchant tent

[Ponapel]

Hmm... Going by the relative sizes of tents and doorways, tents 2 and 3 are big (gambling tents), and tent 4 is small.
"House" #1 is like the Airstream Trailer version of a carnival tent, such as where Oopah might relax between acts. (You need an artistic licence to draw one of these things, I hear)

So - agreeing with Epantiras on questions 1 and 3 - I'm guessing:

1. Nashkel carnival
2. The Great Gazib & The Amazing Oopah, the exploding ogre.
3. gambling tent where Vitiare picks your pocket.
4. normal gambling tent, where the money you lose is of your own free will.
5. Zordral & Bentha.

But where's Alaja all this time? Off playing BG2...? I hope she shows up again soon...

[Aliya]

It seems Ponapel looked at the Gamebanshee's map? Right? Surprizes... suprizes... ehh...

Now to the 6th picture!
Deadline: 10th of August
Questions for now.
1. Where is this place? (Shoudn't be difficult)
2. Who's the man on the left?
3. On the right members of my party. Please, name them.
4. What kind a scene is happening here?

Answer, and without haste.


Yes it is Nashkel Carnival, and the tents... emm... you know.

[Aliya]

Not from the contest, but if watch closely at the hilt of the sword, there is a icon of the popular (but old) game. Who can, please name it!

[Epantiras]

1. the Harper base in Athl... Atk... the main city of BG2 ;-)
2. the harper guy who wants to imprison the Bhaalspawn after asking stupid questions like "what's your favourite color?"
3. Jaheira, Imoen and Nalia
4. now it makes me think that maybe it's not the Harper base but maybe the elven city. But I really can't remember...

the hilt of the sword... Kult! Heretic Kingdoms!! lol now I'm just saying bull**it!!

[Aliya]

Epantiras, the general idea is correct, but you answered correctly, only on the first and second questions.
1. Harper base in Athkatla. After you completed Xzar's task, Jaheira walk away. Then you rest, she'll be back, and asks you to go with her to Harper Hold. I think all of you know this.
2. This is Galvarey, a Jaheira's best friend. He wanted to Imprison the PC, and you forced to slay him. True, he asked about your favourite color.

I always find this conversation hilarious!



The hilt, aren't Heretic Kindoms, sorry.
