And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

The Flagon with the Dragon has the brew that is true. The vessel with the pestle has the pellet with the poison. Get it? Got it. Good.
The pellet with the poison's in the vessel with the pestle, the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true. Right. But there's been a change: they broke the chalice from the palace! And replaced it with a flagon. With the figure of a dragon. The pellet with the poison's in the flagon with the dragon; the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true. I can' remember what I learned in school that week, but do remember that.
And Rathbone was an Olympian fencer, if I recall correctly. He said that after about 3 weeks of training, he had nothing further to offer Kaye by way of training.
But I thought the chalice from the palace has the brew that is true.

ReplyDeleteHours? More like just the time it took to read the list. "Skull of your enemy" for the win.
ReplyDeleteTo all who voted for “skull of enemy”: the flagon holds more. Y’all need to kill smarter enemies .
ReplyDeleteNo worries. My plan is to collect the entire set (of enemy skulls).
