[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

An H please. 

 

*looks around worriedly at all the darkfriends*

 

I'm not sure I'm OK about having things stuck in me. I mean you haven't even bought me a drink yet. So just keep those things where they belong and out of me.

[EirikDaude]

K!

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

And a J, please. 

 

Actually should one be polite to the Dark One? Or cast defiance until the last day? Spitting in the eye just seems unhygienic. 

 

When in doubt, be polite. And keep a stiff upper lip. The corner stones of being British. That and a fascination with hats. 

[LilyElizabeth]

Of course you should be polite to the Dark One when in her realm, at least.

Did you forget my D? Anyway, I'll try D again 🙂

I don't think I saw it. Sorry.

[EirikDaude]

That last word puzzles me... Let's try an "O"

[HeavyHalfMoonBlade]

O Mighty Essence of Evil Personified, have you not missed a D from the fourth word?

[Delenn]

B L A C K  A J A H   A N D   D R E A DLORD S   A N D   S H A D O W S P A W N ,  O H MY ! 

[LilyElizabeth]

Very good Delenn! Would you like to run the next one?

[Delenn]

*Skips around happily stabbity-stabbing random people* 

 

Oh thank you, Great Lord and Mistress! Yes, I would be happy to erect  a guillotine put up a new puzzle! 

 

*runs off to think of one*

[EirikDaude]

The Executioner's word was guessed: Lily only gets 10 points!

Delenn, HeavyHalfMoonBlade and EirikDaude participated: They each get 15/3 = 5 points

Delenn solved the puzzle: She gets another 15 points for a total of 20 points.

 

If I may make a suggestion Great Mistress of the Dark. While it may make sense that the Executioner gets less points for making a puzzle in which the solution is not guessed, it may incentivise using hard to guess solutions which are also not very fun, e.g. __ => "OX". It may not be the best example, as once you have the vowel there are a limited number of words it can be, but I think you can understand my point. Just something to think about.
