[shivas]

Sweet! I'd like to dig H,5 for my next turn please.

 

[Soulcorruptor]

F-7 please since H-5 was stolen from me

 

[iSmiff]

M2 please !

 

[Jake]

Serina decides to dig at E7.

>.>

 

[Linnaete]

This is humiliating. Drumpf is not used to losing. He's only used to winning. All other Chocobos should be banned from entering the island until he figures out what is going on. Maybe they should be waterboarded instead, I dunno. One of them surely must have already nicked the treasure, because there is no way his genius has let him down for this particular fruitless grid search.

Drumpf heads north east to Y3. He will have this entire peninsula to himself.

 

[Shaissa]

Boco want's to swim to the very small island on N-2 (if he can go that far, if he can't let me know and I will change it.)

 

[Dionysos]

Discoveries:

M,2 - Smiffcobo enters a flooded structure only to find a number of creepy oglops who are trapped, and hungry, on the top floor!

[shivas]

nice! H,8 please

 

[Soulcorruptor]

J,1 for my third fail of this game >-<.

 

[Rey]

Am I allowed to go for O,3?

 

[Espurr]

I'll try my luck at S,7

 

[iSmiff]

K3 Please !

 

[Jake]

(L,7) please!

 

[Shaissa]

J,2... I SUNK YOUR BATTLESHIP! (sorry had to )

 

[Linnaete]

What is Drumpf supposed to do with a woman's headband? I guess it could look great on his daughter, but there's something about this headband that seems...cheap. Like, 600 Gil? Is that it? Drumpf should only be acquiring the very best headbands that are crafted from the finest of adamantium or aurum regis or whatever, not this cheap trinket. He has many friends with the most expensive and luxurious headbands. He wouldn't be seen dead with this one. This would be a headband that only a hippie Chocobo like Boco Sanders would wear.

Drumpf would like to spread his beautiful huge wings and fly to Q,2.

 

[Dionysos]

Map update 3:

Here are the latest dig locations!

Discoveries:

Q,2 - Drumpf explores the foundations of a ruined tower and excavates a human skeleton. Trauma of the skeleton's skull and ribs suggest a wounding by kupo nut projectiles, which proved fatal to the person. The legs and one arm are also missing.

A letter which the person was carrying is written in ancient Greek, but a translation reads as follows:

Androcles!
You were once a guest-friend in my home, as our families have been linked for generations. Ever since [... text missing ...]Please, come to our aid! The [....text missing...] creeps! The rodents are murderous, and we are dying.
If my hospitality meant anything to you, please come to our aid.

I'll take T, 5 this time!

 

[Soulcorruptor]

Having enough of this water adventure Ghostrider sees a statue in the distance only not to far away from the shore, so he shall inspect this J-3 spot.
