The Cowldryn Continues...

[Magus]

and i still want to know what happened to my Ibis. and how about a Kiwi? and lastly, an Oboe.

[The Levite]

The players seem to be shrinking...

Anyhow, Ibis and Kiwi give you 1 bubble apiece, comeing to a total of 2 bubbles. However, Oboe gets you turned into a musical newt with a wizard hat

[Scorched Bear Skin Rug]

OUCH! Hey! That's it, I'm taking my 722 bubbles and leaving!

[Vegtable2001]

eye of newt, toe of frog, wool of bat and tongue of dog

[MacadamiamaN]

Rhubarb!

[Faeriefire]

err . . . I'll toss in my roommate's iMac, cucumber melon lotion, and my lamp

[MacadamiamaN]

Chopped rhubarb, minced rhubarb, boiled, fried, baked, seared, fileted, microwaved, heated, cooled, frozen, and genetically-engineered rhubarb.

And a 1969 Cadillac Eldorado.

[Werebear]

You're allowed 3 ingredients at a time... and you put them in bold. After you're told if they're rejected or accepted, you can put more ingredients in.

[Magus]

Ela Dorado might do well...

Cab aloha might also.

I'm not so sure about Aeriels in the sky

------------------
*Poof* Damn! I hate it when i say 'mute' instead of 'newt'!!!

[Werebear]

I'll throw in Werebear [/b]Airbear[/b] and Gitchy Gitchy Goo

[Master Leviticus]

Ingredients! Wonderful ingredients! I don't have the time this moment but tonight I shall have the cowldryns results for you.

[Werebear]

Did we win? (and please consider my bold tags fixed)

[Master Leviticus]

Sorry, about the delay (homework is the bane of the universe), but on to happier things. *grins evilly*

Veg, You didn't do so hot there. The first to take a swan dive into the cowldryn was wool of bat, and no sooner had it hit the water than Veg found himself sprouting a pair of wings(He could have stayed the wingless wonder if he could have got one more letter in there). Meanwhile while Veg was doing a few experimental twirls and loops over the cowldryn, toe of frog landed with a splash and just as Veg flew closer, a well aimed spray of fire shot up and made sure that Veg lived up to his title. And just as he flew out the door the 3 bubbles from Eye of newt caught up with him.

Macnut was next in line with his culinary ingredients. In went Chopped Rhubarb bringing out a small trail of 3 bubbles followed by minced rhubarb which the cowldryn accepted with a small belch producing 1 lonely little bubble. And last but not least came boiled which seemed to put the cowldryn in foul humor causing it to produce a nicely roasted Macnut.

Faeriefire fluttered by with her roommates iMac typing determinedly, but finally with a cry of disgust, in it went. Bad move for FF it seems, a rather large windstorm materialized around poor FF causing her to drop her cucumber melon lotion and smashing her against the wall. Meanwhile the cowldryn gurggled happily, producing a small cloud of 10 bubbles to come swirl around FF's head happily. FF bobbed and weaved irradicly, dizzy from her ordeal, and halfway through a drunken loop she hit a lamp which the cowldryn sucked down, and an immediate rumble of displeasure resouded throughout the room. If reports are to be believed FF was last seen heading west followed by a small but zealous thunderstorm.

Magus had the most luck of all, for Ela Dorado produced 2 bubbles while Cab aloha produced a single bubble. And failly Aeriels in sky gave him 8 bubbles!

Werebear, seeing as he was last in line, seemed to be tired. Just as he got up to the cowldryn that troublesome dancing lemur polkaed right in front of him making him trip and fall into the cowldryn. while he was in the cowldryn, Airbear and Gitchy Gitchy Goo fell in producing, 3 bubbles for the first and 6 bubbles for the latter. In no time, a bedraggled Werebear was pulled out of the cowldryn but he seems to have changed...into Granny?

[Granny]

Hey! Get these clothes off me! My, what a big cowldryn you have.

Werebear will throw in Gitchy Gitchy Gitchy Goo and Gitchy Goo (to complete the set), and then will throw in Granny's Grandiose Glasses, Glockenspiel, Garb, Garbage, and Gazebo Garbanzos

[Master Leviticus]

Sorry about the delay, so busy...

Its seems that Wer..I mean Granny () forgot about the numbering rules. Seeing that things are as they are, I shall take the first three....

Granny ran up to the cowldryn, said, "How cute!" and immediatly grabbed the cowldryn's handle and cried, "Gitchy Gitchy Gitchy Goo and Gitchy Goo. Amazingly the Cowldryn turned a bright red and began spitting out bubbles. 8 bubbles for the first and 4 bubbles for the second. Poor granny was so flustered by this unexpected behavior that her special edition extra large, coke bottle Granny's Grandiose Glasses fell right into the cowldryn and with a happy gurggle the cowldryn spit out 7 bubbles

[Werebear]

The last ingredient, though it contained commas, was one ingredient.
Gitchy Goo = 4 bubbles
Gitchy Gitchy Goo = 6 bubbles
Gitchy Gitchy Gitchy Goo = 8 bubbles

Do I see a pattern?

I'll throw in Git Goo
Git Git Goo
and Git Git Git Goo

*laughs*

[Master Leviticus]

Tired and sick = no preamble

Werebear: For Git Goo you get 3 bubbles, for Git Git Goo you get 4 bubbles and for Git Git Git Goo you get 5 bubbles. I'm beginning to feel like I have a stutter .

[Faeriefire]

killed goose
extra crunchy peanut butter
kitten calendar

[Magus]

Let's try A smoother blend of peanut butter
Coral aviation
and last but not least Gallon of goo getting gored by gorgeous giraffes

------------------
*Poof* Damn! I hate it when i say 'mute' instead of 'newt'!!!

[Werebear]

I'll throw in these ingredients completely to be fireballed.

Happy Birthday
The Levite
And Many More!!!!!

[Master Leviticus]

Ingredients!! Wonderful ingredients ...now lets see...

It was a beautiful afternoon, with the bees buzzing and all the flowers in bloom. There sat Master Leviticus when in walked FF (she finally got over the huff she was in over the thunderstorm) sh emarched right up to the cowldryn and tossed in a Killed Goose and waited tensely. The cowldryn (not above having a little fun of it's own) gave her a few mintues to sweat then ever so slooooooowly out popped a single bubble. At the look of dismay on FF face however it relented and the bubble split into 3 bubbles. Witha sigh of relieve FF tossed in her next ingredient Extra Crunchy peanut butter with an expectant look on her face. The cowldryn promplty threw out 4 bubbles. Feeling extremely pleased with herself, FF threw in her last ingredient (a kitten calender) with a flourish. The cowldryn didn't respond for some minutes, and FF seemed to be getting a little tight around the collar. Finally, with excrutiating slowness, a single bubble, just FF size, floated out...and promptly engulfed her! FF, promptly popped it off course and out dropped a cute kitten. Shame she didn't have one of those last letters...

Magnus: I think you might be be getting an idea...For A smoother bland of peanut butter he gets 12 bubbles! he seems to go down hill with coral aviation but he still gets 4 bubbles. Last but no least he gets 13 bubbles for gallon of goo getting gored by gorgeous giraffes

Thank you Werebear for noticing...unfortunatly you were mostly right since you got a localized earthquake for Happy Birthday and for The Levite you get lightly toasted. For a happy suprise however you get 5 bubbles (not that you need any more or anything ) for and many more

[Faeriefire]

mew!

DVD of Zoolander
purrfect short story
Halle Berry

[Magus]

aww. Faerie looks cute as a kitten.

In fact, i think i'll add A cute faerie kitty for flavor.

Some Halcyon Courts and Doves as well. I'm actually not too sure of what the rule might be, although i probably should by now.

[MacadamiamaN]

I will toss in a JS Bach CD, as well as a Matrox Millenium G200 PCI graphics card.

[Master Leviticus]

Ever hopeful, FF fluttered into Master Levit. house, with three ingredients in hand. Hovering above the cowldryn with a hopeful expression on her face, she dropped DVD of Zoolander. Immediate silence filled the room, except the howls of FF as that rather large uncharted windstorm struck again. In her sudden preoccupation, FF dropped her other two ingredients into the cowldryn, Purrfect short story and Halle Berry. Unfortunately, these weren't any better. If reports are still to be believed, FF was last seen, heading east followed by A swarm of bees and another small but zealous thunderstorm

Magus was next to waltz in headgear all askew. He promptly dropped in a cute faerie kitten. With a minimum of rumbles the cowldryn spit out 9 bubbles. Filled with exuberance Magus dropped in his next two ingredients halcyon courts and Doves. The cowldryn was just as quick to respond by double roasting him.

Last to walk in that afternoon was Macnut. Without preamble he dropped in his JS Back CD which earned him a large fireball and Matrox Millenium G200 PCI graphics card which earned him 3 bubbles

[MatthewV]

Well lets see what is in my brother's room that could be tossed...a real life sized model of Bill Gates, a wad of lint, and a magazine full of pornography were what will go in...and hopefully never come out.

[Werebear]

And I'll throw in Git Git
Goo Git
and A aa AAA aaaa AAAAA aaaaaa AAAAAAA! which, as everyone knows, is the sound of a werebear falling down a staircase into a vat of nair.

[MacadamiamaN]

I'll add in a Cadillac Eldorado Touring Edition with a Northstar, V8 300hp engine and high-tech navigation system

and a $100 bill, from Australia

[justinl87]

a pound of wormwood
my old computer monitor
my science homework

[Faeriefire]

Hm, I'll throw in
too much fun
roll of film
winter jacket

[dethwing]

I throw in a Watermelon

[Master Leviticus]

Matthewv was the first to stop by with his ingredients that morning. With a bounce in his step, and a gleam in his eye he nodded his greeting to Master Leviticus. "So," he said "How exactly does this thing work?" "Well, its simple", I replied "The main point of the game is to find out the rule for the cowldryns acceptance of ingredients. That, and to get as many bubbles as possible." "Ah," said MatthewV "That makes things much simpler." Without further questions MatthewV walked up to the cowldryn and tossed in his first ingrdient...a real life sized model of Bill Gates landed with a wet plop. The cowldryn gurggled contentedly and started spitting out bubbles...for a grand total of 14 bubbles!. MatthewV looked joyful and quickly tossed in a wad of lint, unfortunatly it was a little bit of let down since it only produced 3 bubbles. Not to be deterred, Matt tossed in his last ingredient a magazine full of pornography which produced 9 bubbles. With a happy expression on his face Matt wondered off to find more ingredients.

The next to stop by was Werebear in his Granny costume. First he tossed in Git Git which earned him 2 bubbles. The second Goo Git gave him 3 bubbles. Lastly, A aa AAA aaaa AAAAA aaaaaa AAAAAAA! turns him into a very hairless werebear

Later that afternoon Macnut wondered in with his car. Which was the first thing to go in! That Cadillac Eldorado Touring Edition with a Northstar, V8 300hp engine and high-tech navigation system earned him 32 bubbles, hope it was worth it...His next ingredient was a $100 bill, from Australia (he does seem to be in the mood to get rid of valuables today) gets him lightly toasted.

Just as Macnut was finishing up Justin wandered in and tossed in a pound of wormwood no accounting for taste I guess. The cowldryn, foudn it quite appetizing however and proptly spit up 9 bubbles. The next two ingredients my old computer moniter and my science homework earned him five bubbles a piece

The next person to fly in was FF. Very warily, she approached the cowldryn, tossed in Too much fun, roll of film and winter jacket and fluttered back quickly. Not quickly enough it seems, since the small snowstorm appeared above her followed quickly by freezing temperatures and finally a soft twinkling sound as she was transformed into a snow leapard

The last to trail in was Dethwing (long may the King of the Universe wave) he condescended to throw in a Watermelon and turned to walk out the door. He left as a falcon I'm pleased to say.

[Werebear]

Questions:

Should Octopi have gotten a fireball?
Should Light Bulb really have gotten points?

They seem to be anomolies among the other ingredients.

[Magus]

um... not that i mind, since i'm still getting bubbles, but is there a particular reason it looks like there's an 'n' in my name?

I'm pretty sure i have the rule now. I think it's a first for me that i actually figured out the rules of a cowldryn. The only thing i can't figure out is why some things give you a transformation. *shrug*

Iquolai is a fake
Effigies burn quite well
and lastly Quit hogging the bubbles Werebear, I would like to actually be in contention for once

------------------
*Poof* Damn! I hate it when i say 'mute' instead of 'newt'!!!

[Master Leviticus]

Werebear: Light bulb is exactly where it belongs in this instance. Though I wrote down a shortened version of it there (which as been corrected). As for Octopi your right, it didn't deserve a fireball and though when I originally evaluated it, I had it right, somehow I copied it wrong. My apologies. Octopi should be under transformations *corrects mistake*

MagUs: Sorry about the name mispell, I always read it as magnus for some reason...anyhow, on with the show.

For Iquolai is a fake yiou get 5 bubbles, for Effigies burn quite well you get 9 bubbles and finally for
Quit hogging the bubbles Werebear, I would like to actually be in contention for once you get 8 bubbles

You appear to be almost there, but do you understand the how I total the bubbles? Remember, the rules are all connected.

[Magus]

yeah, i think i'm beginning to understand the bubble thing.

Slithering Slimy Critters first, then Slimy Slithering Darkness to test my theory.

and then, in an effort to start "catching up" to werebear:

A Cat Entangled Gallons of Igloo Karma in Mediocre Oven Quarantines South of Utah Where You Ski! Still, it wasn't without some aid and many of our own cans were shot! If you ever make an attempt at gouging out your eyes, I want your stereo.

------------------
*Poof* Damn! I hate it when i say 'mute' instead of 'newt'!!!

[Werebear]

why stop there, magus? The bubbles are secondary to figuring out the rules, I could have had thousands of bubbles by now. I'm trying to understand the bubbles myself, but seem to be missing something. I thought all the gits and goos and gitchies would help me...
