Chibi Experiment #3485!




When I asked Babette for some essence of pirate for my zapper, I'd hoped for a hair from Captain Jacques or Angrybeard. I think she might have given me one of her cubs hairs. I am not amused. This chibi experiment #3485 is an abomination.

Wha' 'ave ye scurvy dogs done? Bringin' th' ship in was as difficult as escapin' th' gibbet. Well, if yer not an ole salt like me, perhaps. Monsters 'n sea beasts everywhere. 'n word be already spreadin' fast, ye’ve gone 'n released th' Sea Witch ‘erself!



Wit' th' world endin' 'n all, I don’t suppose ye’d be needin' all those doubloons linin' yer purses. Come peruse our wears - both ole 'n new - 'n 'ave a bit o’ grog wit' Dirty Matty 'til all this blows o'er. Or 'til 10 days 'ave passed, whichever comes first. We’re not ones t' stay land-locked fer long, no matter how perilous th' open water be.



Speakin' o' land-locked, ye should stay away from that pox-faced swine, Carl. He keeps pilferin' our things 'n givin' them away fer some kind o’ “quest” favor, 'n I doubt he’??ll be stoppin' this year, th' bilge rat. Nobody pilfers from us pirates!

Translation: Oh goodness, I don’t mean to accuse but does anyone know what exactly is going on with the ocean route to the island? Bringing the ship in was rather bothersome, although I was able to handle it! Monsters and sea beasts are no match for my prowess, although I’m a little nervous about this news of the Sea Witch being released…



I’m sure it will be fine! In the meantime, would you like to lighten your load with us - have a look at the wears and trinkets we’ve been collecting, or even pass the time with Dirty Matty? We’ll be for 10 days, hopefully it will have blown over by then! We’re always eager to get back to the ocean that we call our home!



Speaking of places to call home, you should probably stay away from the alleyway where that vagabond Carl lives. He has been caught more than once “borrowing” things from us to give away in his little “quests”, and we have no reason to believe he’ll be stopping this year. We know he can be just as fine a member of society as us, with the right guidance!

Eye of the Storm




Greetings, sweets. Me heard the most beautiful thing. You see, the island whisper to me, tell me all of him secrets, and he say “them outsiders broke something that cannot be unbroken”. He say “they mess with a thing beyond them, and now them children’s children’s bones will rot in regret”.



The thing about a prison that it is only as strong as them bars that make it. Or them guards that guard it. Say someone come to that prison and kill them guards, break them bars… what is left? I says that prison cell become a room, with a door that open as easy as any common door.



So many years I longed to see the sky, to stretch my legs - well, me fins for now - so forgive I and I if I don’t stick around and greet you proper. I’ll be leaving a welcoming committee on my behalf.



Challenge the beasts!

A Bad Omen: Bosses Defeated!




The Temple Guardians have been defeated! I don't know about you guys, but me and the trail gang here are totally beat. Thank you so much for your help. We're just going to have a quick breather before we carry on and see what's up with the rest of this room.



Join us again at 6pm Subeta Time!

A Distant Rumble




A distant boom is heard, then a rumble shakes the base camp.



Oh man, pretend you didn’t hear that. Ol’ Dom went off to answer the call of nature, and let’s just say I got a bit impatient and… well, the door’s open now. That’s the important part, right?



Remember, you didn’t hear a thing and we didn’t talk!



[Head back to the tomb.]
Keel Hauliday be on its way!




Thar be a lot o' bother goin' on right now on th' other side o' th' island. I’ve ‘ad word from me ol' mate Angrybeard 'n th' crew that they’re puttin' off droppin' anchor fer a few days, on Captain Jacques orders. Those who know our past wit' th' bilge swilling islanders might understand our ‘esitation. Those who don’t, well ye be wise t' listen t' th' words o' an ole pirate!



Now ‘scuse me, landlubbers, I got t' attend t' me cubs. They be growin' bigger every day, 'n I needs t' teach ‘em a few more insults fer their pa’s arrival.



Translation: There seems to be a bit of trouble going on right now at the other side of the island. I’ve had word from my husband Angrybeard and the crew that they’re putting off dropping anchor for a few days, on Captain Jacques orders. Those who know our past with the Islanders might understand our hesitation. Those who don’t, well you’d be wise to listen to the words of an old pirate!



Now please excuse me, I’ve got to attend to my cubs. They’re growing bigger every day, and I need to make sure they know the proper greetings for their daddy’s arrival!
Gold Account Expirations
1 Month Gold Account Medal




Many of you may have noticed that your gold account expiration times were off. Way off.



It's taken us a few days to resolve, but we have been able to successfully restore most expiration times. If you are one of the few users still affected, a staff member will be contacting you soon!



If you already had a gold account active, and you used another gold account medal since September 16, it's possible that this medal was not taken into account in your restored expiration time. If you believe this to be the case, please file a ticket.



If you already had an active Stripe subscription, and it billed on September 16, it's likely that your gold account's expiration time is incorrect. However, your gold account will not expire and the time remaining will be corrected the next time your subscription bills. If you'd like us to correct the expiration time on your account anyway, please file a ticket.



Additionally, every active gold account has been extended by three days to make up for any confusion!

Safety Assured




Good morning, are you ready to move on? As I said, Blake and I have (yawn) worked through the night and I can feel good about letting you enter that room. The next puzzle is ready for you to complete - we figure that we should leave that task to you, as you’ve been trusted with they keys and the puzzles so far.



Rejoin the expedition

Cash Shop: Cinthilocks and the Three Bears


Cinthilocks and the Three Bears




She's tiny, she's darling, and she deserves retribution for causing so much hurt and damage to that delightful bear family's house. She isn't going to play fair, and she seems to be on some kind of steroids. I don't think this is your regular weak and innocent child. It's time to pay for your trespassing and destruction of property, Cinthilocks!



You can summon her with the book Cinthilocks and the Three Bears from the Cash Shop. Good luck defeating this little girl. You're a braver soul than us.



The Broken Wooden Chair will be retiring on October 1st!

Bug Fix
Replica Ladybug
Squashed Bug Sticker
Buggy Revenge Sticker




There was a browser-specific bug (which seems to be affecting some, but not all, Chrome and Firefox users) in the plot's current dominos puzzle that kept solutions from being interpreted as correct. It has been fixed, but if you were affected you will need to refresh the puzzle page in order to submit your solution. Simply submitting the solution after the fix was pushed will not help, as the buggy code that interprets your answer was loaded when the page itself was loaded.



If you are still having any problems with a newly loaded page, please let us know!
A Door to Danger?




Good morning, employees and “adventurers”. We’ve done a little work in the temple, and we should have enough strength to continue on to the next step of our journey. I’ll take a moment to remind you all of the waivers you signed when you joined the team and-



Actually, did Blake make you sign liability waivers? Oh for the love of- Okay, my team, I will remind you of the waivers you signed before joining that absolved me of any legal action resulting from your injury or death. Team Steele… I guess put on some extra padding and grab a big stick.



Enter the Tomb
Bopper Challengers




It wouldn’t be an Anniversary if we didn’t bring back the Bopper challengers!



You have until October 1st to beat the Lagmonster, Lizard Minion, Maliss, and Sql Boppers. They can be found in the event tab at the Battle Coliseum.

A Bad Omen: The Adventure Continues!




After sleeping on our conversation from the other day, I’ve agreed to continue on the journey up the mountainside. Something is up there waiting for us. I’m hoping that it’s a valuable something, but I’m willing to concede on an interesting something.



The camp is packed and we’re ready to depart, whatever awaits us.



Join the Expedition!

A Bad Omen: Elwood's Here!




Heeeeeyyyy, the party has arrived! So what’s the deal, what adventure are we doing? To be totally honest, I’m kind of sick of being trotted out once a year for a bunch of 4th-wall-breaking references and pecker jokes. I can tell jokes any time of year! FREE ELWOOD, FREE ELWOOD, FREE ELWOOD!



So I’m basically just going to join Blake’s team so we can hang out- Hey, wait a minute, all of those other NPCs have been getting free stuff? Forget hanging out with my friend, I want free stuff! Oh, you're all out of free stuff? You're looking really tired around the eyes too. Hmm, maybe I can help YOU out instead. You just have to promise to really celebrate the next Elwood day, ok? I'll need tonight to get ready, so rest up at base camp and try not to throw too many banana skins at Saggi's head.



Note: Don't worry, Elwood isn't giving any team extra plot points!

A Bad Omen: Esther Results




Everyone did such a good job questing! Emma is going to be so pleased. I can't wait to get out into the jungle, so many lovely plants and creatures to see!



It seems Team Steele were the ones that were able to do the most quests - I will be joining their team out on the trail. Best of luck to Team Gold!

I am pleased to see so many enjoying the beauty of the islands and learning to appreciate all our many many creatures as well as our tempestuous monsoons. I suspected you would be feeling damp and bedraggled after so many days on the trail and have taken pity upon you. Behold my newest Subeautique Line, inspired by the island jungles you have been traveling through! They are clean and dry as well as fabulous so even if not your style, it might still be good, yes?



Note: Professor New Polarity, Professor New Magnetized, and Junko Encase will be retiring on September 20th!

A Bad Omen: Esther's Here!




Aw, come on, how come I never get invited to do anything exciting? First Emma gets invited to speak at the Peka Glade Conservation Society Conference, and now I find out that everyone and their dog is off exploring the jungle? I can only imagine the kinds of plants and animals you’re running into out there!



Well, I’m not going to wait for an invitation, I’m just going to invite myself - I may as well kill some time until Emma comes home. Speaking of Emma, that gives me a great idea! She's always been so interested in quests of all kinds - remember her quest that ended in the discovery of Peka Glade? I’m sure she'd appreciate seeing so many people out in Subeta completing quests of their own! I think we should stick to certain quests for the sake of ease, I'll list those when you visit me.



I’ll join whichever team is able to collectively perform the most number of quests! Remember: quests will reset at midnight, so each user has the opportunity to submit their quests again and increase their team's performance!

Esther gives your team the Weathered Traveler trait: Esther's connections with Tempest means she can ensure your team a sunny journey to the summit. Your team's weather conditions will all be favorable.

A Bad Omen: Sephora Results




Thank you, everyone, for your generous donations. I am not quite sure how I'll be able to get all of this up to the trail! I definitely have enough to give to Charity. I'm sure she'll pass the extra on to the needy.



It seems Team Gold were the ones that were able to donate the most - I will be joining their team out on the trail. Best of luck to Team Steele!

A Bad Omen: Sephora's Here!




Hello, my very good friends. I’ve heard that there is an exciting opportunity for adventure going on out there. I’d love to join up, but I don’t want to show up empty handed! I imagine those already on the trail could use a change of clothes, or a new pair of nice dry shoes.



Before I leave to join, I’d love to accept any donations of new or lightly used clothes and shoes to take with me to whichever team becomes my new family on the road. And hey, let’s make this fun: I will join whichever team helps to arrange the most donations.



Donate Here!



Sephora gives your team the Experienced Guide trait: Sephora's experience with forging trails and guiding caravans makes it easier for her to spot a quicker path through the jungle. Your team gains a +10% speed boost.

A Bad Omen: Wesley Results




Thanks for all the donations, everyone! I just know the kids will have such a good time with all of these new things when camp starts up again next summer. You've really done a good deed here.



Based on the donations, it looks like I'll be joining Blake out on the trail. Go Team Steele! And the best of luck to Team Gold, because as everyone knows, the most important part of any competition is having fun!

A Bad Omen: Wesley’s here!




So, I got this letter. Says there’s some kind of adventure going on and I should join up on the expedition? I have to admit, with the girls back to school, I’m finding myself with a lot of free time on my hands. The thing is, I’m not sure which team I should join.



It’s no big deal to close the shop for a while, and I know the summer camp that my girls go to can always use more supplies, so how about we organize some kind of Donation Drive for them? They could always use more sporting supplies and toiletries for kids. I’ll join whichever team is able to organize the most donations by the end of today.



Donate here!

Channel 5 Action News - Press Release!
This is a Channel 5 Action News special report!



Centropolis billionaire and playboy philanthropist Dominic Saggitarius has generously persuaded Channel 5 News to conduct a press release on his behalf. The handsome and powerful mogul is known mainly for his presidency at the Millionaire Center and his Councilorship of Centropolis, but who can forget his great history with dragon hunting? It's known he's on the lookout for recruits to join his new expedition in the Omen Islands, and we're delighted to hear from him today.







Hey, it’s me, your best friend Blake! I know that you’ve been eagerly awaiting whatever exciting adventure that I’ve got in store for you this time, and you can’t wait to get an all new, promotional Steele Excavations shovel! Hah, just kidding, I promise that there will be no digging this time.



Man all that sand, I got such a rash on my-








Ahem (Saggitarius interrupts), I think we’ll just end that sentence right there, thank you. This is MY press release. It is I, Saggitarius, famed dragon hunter and explorer. You have a unique opportunity to join an expedition to the Omen Islands. Please join me on the islands at your earliest convenience and we’ll see if you have what it takes to be part of Team Gold-



(Blake interrupts) Or Team Blake Is Best!



(Saggitarius sighs) Or Team Steele.



Thank you to the wonderful Mr. Saggitarius and whoever the other guy was. Something about shovels? I'm told that signups are going to last a few days, so join both men at the Omen Islander Village (passage to which has been generously opened to those without maps for the duration of the adventure, courtesy of Mr. Saggitarius) to learn more and pick your team!
