Hmm, speaking of other accounts ... I wonder if we'll be able to battle if we haven't gotten up to a certain point in the plot?

I've been doing plot things with my new account, while my main battle pet is in my old account... o_O

Yeah .. I kinda need to start training up my pets again. Although, if it is like the Maraqua plot where they split you into groups according to stats, maybe it is best if I keep in the easier one, lol!

Dear God, please don't make it like the Maraqua war! I wasn't even around for the war and I know that it's NOT a good idea to split us into groups. And, furthermore, I know that I will be very screwed over if they split us up by stats. My pet has high hp and strength (triple digits) but has ridiculously low defense (double digits). Plus, I'm too poor to afford uberpwnage weapons. DONT SCREW US OVER, TNT!

What groups were you split into? I wasn't around back then (my first plot was Altador) so I'm intrested to know how TNT has structured previous wars/plots.

I think the plot comic is great - the artwork and story. I sure hope we find out why Sophie didn't realize that her brother was still alive. I wonder why the krawk would give the townspeople a potion that would turn them into zombies (if that actually happens), or even just freaks; what gain would it be for him? Only the profits from the potion sales?

Hm. I do seem to recall reading about a potion in the Neopedia a few years back. Something about a potion that sold for 10np the first day, 100 the next, 1000 the next, 10000 the next, etc. And there was a lenny in it somewhere.

An army of Zombies!!!

On the Mr. Krawley TCG, http://www.neopets.com/tcg/displayCard. ... d=11&id=28

It says: "He was well known for his hostile takeovers".

He is gathering armies of zombies to take over Neopia.

I love this plot so far! Finding out the history of well-known Neopian characters is great. It makes the game seem more interactive... I can't help but wonder what else is in store for us!

And if it was a Neopians vs Zombies war, I'd be totally in for that! :evil:

Oh, hee hee. That fits right in with a war then.

Good googly moogly! Did I just actually see the phrase "It is dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue."??!?!?!?!?

They're not really zombies. They're more like...mutants? But yeah, I wouldn't consider them ZOMBIES, really. And Mr. Krawley doesn't look intimidating enough to lead an army of evil thingies...but boy does he look evil. Maybe he's working for someone?

What I want to know is this: If they were turned back to normal, what was the consequence? What did they have to do? I mean obviously the majority of Haunted Woods is about mutants, but what would have been the point of temporarily going back to normal? Although some of them don't really look like mutants, like the Aisha from the Cork Gun Gallery. Hopefully eventually they'll explain that...

I feel sorry for poor Bruno...all he ever wanted was to be loved in return...it makes me want to cry :cry:

The 4 game masters we visited have nothing to do with Neovia and the curse that was/is upon the townsfolk.

Even though Neovia is a part of the Haunted Woods, it was only Neovia affected by the curse and not the all of the Haunted Woods.

The "Spirit of Slumber" was called and the curse was lifted but with dire consequences. This could mean the townsfolk where put into a sleep and have been asleep since the curse or it could mean they are in fact zombies - under the control of someone else.

As the plot progresses, we will know the "terrible price" and I presume it will be up to Gilly/Sophie to undo the price and undo the curse.
