Morir is not interested and walks away
Dinner is ready, but the cactus needs salt; pass both please– Cacti have thorns, could be a horn reference. Salt can refer to his glowing marking mind you don’t spill it because that would be unlucky. You’d have to toss a bit over your shoulder. This is a superstition, which Morir is Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. If you cannot hear, you are lacking a sense, which Morir does - he is blind. Show me your hands. No, that just won’t do. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. How was school today? Did you get in trouble for bullying? For spitting? For biting? No? It’s good that you’ve settled down. Morir just finished a rather brutal spar with a member of the Aurora Basin, quite close to bullying.  ♦ Please tag Morir in all replies!

Salt could ref. her white coloring. – mind you don’t spill it because that would be unlucky. You’d have to toss a bit over your shoulder. Did you remember to wash up?

Sacre protects himself.
Dinner is ready, but the cactus needs salt; - Dragons Throat Reference Mind you don’t spill it because that would be unlucky. You’d have to toss a bit over your shoulder. - Sacre means "Sacred" and is also apart of the French profanity Sacre Bleu. Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. - Dehydration magic? Throat reference. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. - Red 'stain' marking. Used to be apart of the Aurora Basin. He is also one of two (twin), Roux lives in the Basin. It’s good that you’ve settled down. - after travelling as an outcast for a while, finally settled in the Throat. Gained a position. All the child references/youthful tone could also relate to his young age. There's something wretched about this Something so precious about this ❚ Force permitted! ❚ Please tag me!

The sleuth is unwanted. However, I have been watching one of your spears: Dalibor was sought.
Dinner is ready, but the cactus needs salt; pass both please– mind you don’t spill it because that would be unlucky. You’d have to toss a bit over your shoulder. – This is two clues in one. Cactus is a Dragon’s Throat ref, because to the best of my knowledge the only place that cactus readily grows is in Dragon’s Throat. On the salt part; Dalibor has a black and white mane/tail, the salt is a color ref for the white in his mane – tossing a bit over the shoulder was to help highlight the white in his mane. Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. Show me your hands. – Fluff, but it helps tie in the clue below. No, that just won’t do. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. – This is also two clues in one. The first part, “one is still stained” is a marking ref, Dalibor has one stained hoof, while the other three are solid black. This is also a minor history clue, because he also has a history that is heavily stained with drama and death – a past he’s been running from for years and trying to was clean. How was school today? – Fluff Did you get in trouble for bullying? For spitting? For biting? – This a duty ref, he is a spear and has spent the better part of his life training and battling as a warrior or as a hired mercenary – seeking revenge from Paladin at an early age and thus losing his mate and unborn child. No? It’s good that you’ve settled down - he arrived in Heloiva without a true goal, ready to settle in and end the killing. He chose to settle in Dragon's Throat. OOC: According to the treaty that Hidden Falls and Dragon's Throat has, even if this stealth was to pass, the Throat would get to keep Dalibor :)

PASS
Dinner is ready, but the cactus needs salt; pass both please– mind you don’t spill it because that would be unlucky. You’d have to toss a bit over your shoulder. – This is two clues in one. Cactus is a Dragon’s Throat ref, because to the best of my knowledge the only place that cactus readily grows is in Dragon’s Throat. On the salt part; Dalibor has a black and white mane/tail, the salt is a color ref for the white in his mane – tossing a bit over the shoulder was to help highlight the white in his mane. +1| [Herd ref] pretty straightforward that cactus = Dragon's Throat. 0| [Color ref] hmm, this one is difficult, because the way the clue is offered, it's got me thinking of a personality ref about a character that is superstitious or wary. If there was more to guide me to think of this as color, or more colors involved, then this would have been a positive. Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. Show me your hands. – Fluff, but it helps tie in the clue below. No, that just won’t do. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. – This is also two clues in one. The first part, “one is still stained” is a marking ref, Dalibor has one stained hoof, while the other three are solid black. This is also a minor history clue, because he also has a history that is heavily stained with drama and death – a past he’s been running from for years and trying to was clean. +1| [Color ref] this one was easier to get than the salt one because hands, which horses clearly don't have, automatically make me consider the hooves, or as with your second clue, a metaphorical hand. I still wouldn't consider this a strong clue but I think it was definitely clear and able to be solved. 0| [History ref] again I like the idea behind this clue, but it doesn't quite get me to the answer. As is it's a bit too vague for this reference, but had you mentioned something like 'stained with blood' then I would have better understood to consider history or personality. How was school today? – Fluff Did you get in trouble for bullying? For spitting? For biting? – This a duty ref, he is a spear and has spent the better part of his life training and battling as a warrior or as a hired mercenary – seeking revenge from Paladin at an early age and thus losing his mate and unborn child. +1| [Rank ref] this clue I thought was pretty good and pretty direct. No? It’s good that you’ve settled down - he arrived in Heloiva without a true goal, ready to settle in and end the killing. He chose to settle in Dragon's Throat. 0| [Personality ref] so torn, because although I think this can be a good clue, again it doesn't quite take me to think about the answer. This if anything seems to suggest a peaceful character, rather than a wayward character finding his roots, just because of the way it was offered with all the other clues, and lack of expansion with this clue. For instance if something about 'home' was added into this clue I think it would have been more plausible. 3/3 necessary to pass Overall you had a lot of clues right on the cusp of counting, but always just barely fell short of, to me at least, being able to be solved. There is always this fine line of trying to give away enough information, but not too much. I do pride you in not having any misleading or confusing clues, and I like you throw off clue by innocently mentioning basin in one of the lines. Overall a great job. p.s. That treaty your herds have is awesome :o   HP: 1100Helovia Hard Mode

+1| Herd reference 0| Appearance: This would have been a -1, if he wasn't a roan. "over the shoulder" is extremely specific. I would have accepted this if he had white on his withers, or if the last part of his mane was white (Like Midas' is). Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. Show me your hands. – Fluff, but it helps tie in the clue below. No, that just won’t do. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. – This is also two clues in one. The first part, “one is still stained” is a marking ref, Dalibor has one stained hoof, while the other three are solid black. This is also a minor history clue, because he also has a history that is heavily stained with drama and death – a past he’s been running from for years and trying to was clean. +1| Apperance ref. Good. -1 | Misleading: Referencing the Basin, at least for me, seemed to suggest he was from the Basin. 0| History: Stained here is too ambiguous for me, to relate to his past in any way. How was school today? – Fluff Did you get in trouble for bullying? For spitting? For biting? – This a duty ref, he is a spear and has spent the better part of his life training and battling as a warrior or as a hired mercenary – seeking revenge from Paladin at an early age and thus losing his mate and unborn child. +1| I'm giving you a point here, but let me explain. If he wasn't listed as a bitter character, I would have deducted points. Just because one is a fighter (Think of Midas or Gaucho), you wouldn't think of them as bully's, would you? Or spitters? So in that sense, it didn't suggest that he was a warrior, more that he was an asshole. Which, given that his profile says he's "Brooding | Vengeful | Brusque | Bitter" I'll accept. No? It’s good that you’ve settled down - he arrived in Heloiva without a true goal, ready to settle in and end the killing. He chose to settle in Dragon's Throat. 0| His profile still describes him as a wanderer, so without knowing any other history, I don't see how he's settled down. As Blu mentioned, if you'd referenced a 'home', that would have definitely worked. Only 2 for me, so a fail overall.

+1- Cactus reference 0- Color ref. With the clues revealed I can see how this was color ref, but before hand I was a little loss and was thinking this was more of a personality reference to a superstitious character. Did you remember to wash up? I couldn’t hear the water running. Show me your hands. – Fluff, but it helps tie in the clue below. No, that just won’t do. One is still stained, go see it cleaned in the basin. – This is also two clues in one. The first part, “one is still stained” is a marking ref, Dalibor has one stained hoof, while the other three are solid black. This is also a minor history clue, because he also has a history that is heavily stained with drama and death – a past he’s been running from for years and trying to was clean. +1- hoof reference -1- Basin reference. My own personal opinion was that this was clever, but the rules state nothing obviously misleading. 0- History reference. I think this was better left as just a visual clue. How was school today? – Fluff Did you get in trouble for bullying? For spitting? For biting? – This a duty ref, he is a spear and has spent the better part of his life training and battling as a warrior or as a hired mercenary – seeking revenge from Paladin at an early age and thus losing his mate and unborn child. +1- Personality/job reference. Good for me. No? It’s good that you’ve settled down - he arrived in Heloiva without a true goal, ready to settle in and end the killing. He chose to settle in Dragon's Throat. 0- This was kind of vague and open for me. Basically any character in a herd could have been considered to have 'settled down'. 2/3 from me, fail. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
