Questions, and the posters who posed them, so you know who to kill, plus pending possibly-correct answers. “Who should we talk to about all these darned elves that need killin’?” - Ethilrist’s. “He had a remarkable love…” - DaphneBlack’s - possible answers erislover, Westley. “If you were just starting out and wanted help building leadership skills, who would you talk to?” - Ethilrist’s. “I was just strolling along a street in Liepzieg and, suddenly, I smelled smoke! It was me!” - 5-4-fighting’s. … are all way too difficult for me so I’ll add Who is the expert on small antelopes? ---
