I, Admiral Bombow, challenge you to demonstrate your paltry knowledge of The Land with my Challenge. Simply answer the twenty questions below. I've even thrown this open to the Land-lubbers of mudii.co.uk, for all the good it may do them.

In all cases, I need the number, and a list, to deter the lucky guesser!

  3. How many different types of potion are there?
  4. How many items of silver have writing on them?
  5. How many different locations can the bow and the baton start in?

Rules

This is the big prize event. And no ordinary prize. The arch-wizards in their wizdom have reached DEEP into those coffers of doubloons to offer a months free play time to the event winner. Naturally, there's a catch. You must name the system you normally play on and the persona. The prize, in the spirit of cooperation that made this glorious issue possible, is a month on the OTHER mud site - sort of a get to know them offer. The winner is the first person to answer all questions correctly, failing that the person to first send in the MOST correct answers before the closing date. Which given Easter and a mudmeet we'll make the 21st of April. Send your answers to bombow@mud2.com. The Admiral's decision be final, me hearties!
