OK I followed the directions when I got the strange leaflet. I was supposed to be awarded 10.000 meat. I entered the code and no bonus was forthcoming. Did I do something wrong?

I am so confused!!

LordVor, the puny 4th level disco bandit applying for the Friends of Cecil. With his 10 pound leprecaun, who’d wink me up a ton of meat if I was tough enough to actually, you know, fight in half the places I can get to.

Choobah, the wee, tiny Level 4 Sage Sage wants to join the Friends of Cecil! Let me in! Let me in!

I love this game so much. It just warms the cockles of my heart.

> \*18 pound **Angry Goat**  
> \*14 pound **Mosquito**  
> \*1 pound **Howling Balloon Monkey**  
> \*6 pound **Grue**  
> \*2 pound **Blood Faced Volleyball**  
> \*6 pound **Ghoul Whelp**

It depends on what I’m doing, but for tough adventures, I like the spooky pirate skeleton. I like the baby gravy fairy if I’m trying to collect goodies.

This game is addictive. I’ve got a Cocoabo thanks to the generosity of the clan. Can a level 8 disco bandit get anyother familiar besides a mosquito?

Well, at level 4 I got the Leprecaun, and I’m fairly sure I can get to all the pieces of the bloody volleyball…

Woo hoo! Finally leveled up to 5, and I doubt that there will be a greater jump in power in the game. All of a sudden, I can go to the mall, so I can buy some damned herbs, so I can make myself a kentucky fried meat crossbow.

So my moxie goes from 19 to 27 on level up. All of a sudden, the meanies in the tougher areas aren’t hitting me every round, and I can actually hit them with moxious manuvers. Game just got a lot more fun.

**Necro Romancer** –if you click on that link posted earlier in this thread, it tells you about the Familiars and how to get most of them.

Where do you get cocoa eggshells?

Hey-- odd request. My husband is a lifelong SD lurker but has never posted and thus didn’t register as a member. Can he get into FoC, or is he SOL? (Blargey, just sent in a request). Don’t mean to nepotize, so feel free to say “nah.”

Sure! Any friend of a Friend of Cecil is a friend of mine.

In fact, the acceptance process is basically a formality. Anyone who applies is in.
