-Behind You-
Ok the story overall, creeped the **** outta me. IT'S SCARY! I'm not freaken joking this time, the story SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME! It reminded me of Medusa. And how she lures adventurers to their doom by making them look at her. It was exactly the same with this one, except I had no idea what happened in the end, did the prisoner get stabbed? Or did the prisoner look? Overall...nice!

Managed to read your epitaph
Don't get the twist, even with your explanation to Snow on the previous page. Don't remember quests all that well. Sorry mate.

Thanks, Sonic.
Chuk, thanks for getting around to reading it. The twist is just being able to see that the acrostic poem is written for "Zemouregal" and that he put it there. There's nothing really beyond that.
Nevertheless, thank you both.

So who's being rezz'd?
Zemouregal or Thurgo's pal?

Well, it's Ramarno's grave, so Thurgo's "pal" is being resurrected. It's Zemouregal's incantation as the epitaph, though.

So the 'twist' is that you're supposed to figure out who wrote it by reading the acrostic word?

It's not the entire purpose of the piece but, in a way, that is the twist. The epitaph is a spell of necromancy which is revealed to be Zemouregal's doing.

First, that piece was absolutely beautiful. Honestly, it was just flawless. Second, I will try my hardest to get my part finished before the deadline. Thankfully, a rather bizarre October snow has trapped me within my house, so I really don't have much else to do.
EDIT: And I really hope you're feeling better.

Thanks. I was sure there was a repetition in there somewhere, but I can't find it now.
October snow? That certainly is bizarre. I'll be around all day to help edit once you finish your part, though.
Yes, it certainly is unpleasant. My final contest piece for the Halloween competition has suffered immensely. I had no plot and was too worn to write it, and I am ashamed of it. It is most certainly not going up on this thread.
Thanks for sticking with me through the week. I've been quite the inconvenience, no? Let's just hope we can finish it.

I just posted my piece on my thread on the last page. I hope you like it! I think one of the words was censored (although it's really not bad at all), and I honestly think it's the perfect word. I can try to evade it, or would you rather I change it to something "acceptable."
