So, it's true! The grand prize of Sock 2 will indeed be a Nintendo DS Lite, though there are plenty of other things to win along the way, including swag, guest-hosting opportunities, and new games. We tried to get permission to give away a PSP, so that the winner would have a choice, but it seems that Sony didn't get back to us, sadly. I apologize for making you guys wait so long in anticipation, but you all know that "Anticipation" song... there's something fun about it. Anyway, good times will be had, but only if you can overcome the great monsters and trivia that plague the contest, day after day. Can you win?
Today's Tips:
- Beware if you're a spell-caster, because just like with physical attacks, if an enemy is killed before you get in your action, your spell choice will be preserved and directed at another monster, unless you specifically tell me otherwise.
- Don't forget to equip things if you want them on, or your unequipped items will pile up. You only have 5 spaces for items, so beware!
And now we shall continue!

"Veronica!"
After Sly disappeared with the figure in black, we remembered all of a sudden that another friend of ours had suffered a terrible blow in the dramatic battle.
We needed to take her someplace safe, and I knew that a gifted herbalist lived in a forest to the east. I suggested that we take her there immediately, but Scott was unhappy about it.
"Do you not realize the gravity of the situation?? If Windgaard suddenly escaped its bonds and turned on humanity, we have to figure out why. Shayla, think of your kingdom! How would you feel if Diamante ravaged Moonward Castle? What about Arzak of the mage's town up north? Thermos and Frigozo on the far eastern continent? We must figure out what has happened! We cannot let more lives be lost, or I'll never be able to forgive myself!"
Veronica had fought bravely, though, and she deserved our care. We finally convinced Scott to accompany us to the east; perhaps we'd discover something about the other elemental guardians on the way. And maybe, I thought, I'd finally learn something about
The air was still as we set off from the ruins of Insburgh...

#27: e) More than 7 (18 Points)
It doesn't matter if you can't see them all at first, because that doesn't mean they're not there. Goodness. If you watch the whole intro, you'll see that indeed, more than 7 crew members went with Cecil on his little plundering adventure.
#28: b) 12 (25 Experience)
There were 12, like the numbers on a clock, or perhaps more fittingly, the number of Zodiac signs.

Honesty is important! Don't spoil the game. Keep in mind that masqueraders will be obvious, since two submissions under the same name will cause me to fire an e-mail to the true competitor based on my records, where I can verify their actions. Anybody caught cheating in this manner will be immediately removed from the competition!
Please fill out your nickname and your actions for the day! Place your answer choices in the respective boxes (don't worry about being precise with wording or anything), and write your action in the action box. You can equip or unequip stuff once per day without taking your action up, too. Examples of actions could be "I want to attack Li'l Ant!" or "I want to buy two Eye Dropses!" or "I want to buy a Wood Sword and Smelling Salts, and I want to equip the Wood Sword!"
