Iron DM 2009 - FINAL MATCH - it's over!

[MortalPlague]

Let me say upfront that I'm not 100% happy with not having MortalPLague immediately available to confirm that he gets them at the same time. Be aware that I intend to allow him a few extra hours, if he needs them. He did post earlier that he would get a chance to check for them from time to time while he's at work, so hopefully he can get them before too long.

Checking them now. I shouldn't need extra time, I've got almost all Friday free.

Awesome. Rock it, you guys. Make my job hard!

I have to say, I'm really having fun with these elements. This contest really exercises one's creativity!

Spoiler-safe, in case the judges are lurking about...

[SBLOCK=Comment on IVV's Entry]First of all, I would like to say that I love your use of the "granite shield" ingredient...a granite shield volcano? Awesome. But my inner geology geek has been wimpering like a kicked puppy, because well...there's just no such thing. Andesidic magma is just too thick, chunky, and volatile to form a shield volcano (in fact, it normally explodes into ash and pyroclastics on contact with air.) Only basalt, with it smooth-flowing pāhoehoe, can spread out far enough to make a shield. Molten granite doesn't "flow," so it ends up making composites or cinder cones instead of shields.

Okay, my inner geology geek feels a lot better.

That said, I love the mystery you are building here, with regard to the monastery and the halflings. Where did these exotic foods come from, if nothing grows in this volcanic wasteland? And I love how the demon's power, control, and even its life, centers around food and the magical frying pan. (A vampire? OF COURSE he would be able to defeat the demon...he doesn't eat!)

Brilliant use of the ingredients. This is my favorite submittal so far.[/SBLOCK]

IVV, I also liked your entry very much. I also have a small question:
[sblock] Why a glabrezu ? They're tempters so that kind of fits, but how about the ghoulish Maurezhi. ? Wouldn't that have been a great monster for the food/gluttony theme? [/sblock]

Reporting that I have seen the information. Do you want to risk a little bit of overlap, and post ingredients late tonight? If you did around midnight, 48 hours would get until the end of Sunday, rather than a deadline on Tuesday.

I am ready for my closeup, Mr Nifftville.

I can do that. Rechan, you ready to go tonight at midnight? you'd both have the weekend then?
