People are saying Mrkrawley and the Elephant are the same, because they have the same eyes. He just drank a morphing potion and turned into the elephant so he could tell the story.

Ok...but what was his motive for cause so much chaos to that town?...dose he just go around towns poisoning ppl for jollies?

For money! He was selling those potions like hotcakes.

Though as I see it, he did lead Gilly to the asylum which led her to what they needed to solve the whole problem in the first place, so I guess he did redeem himself, in a roundabout way. XD

Money... or stories?

When you live in a fictional universe, authors can be a little... sinister.

He was a collector of stories. When there were no stories to tell, he created his own. Maybe in the future another strange tale will appear, and another strange neopet will be the cause, only to end with a Elephant telling a story. Who knows, only time will tell, and.... He looked cooler as a Krawk

[Gav]

Dang... that's it?

A few things still don't connect. If the whole thing really was a tale, then why is Neovia only restored now? 0_o

Ah well, I suppose it's over at any rate. Hope I get something decent.

Excuse me, but where did that Elephante go?

Gypsy

Elephante? Who are you talking about?

Xx_Diamond_Storm_xX

You know, that creepy, pink, mustachioed Elephante... gypsy... guy. The one who told the stories, with that book? The Tale of Woe?

Gypsy

I'm sorry, little one, but there's never been any Elephante at this camp. I really don't know who you're talking about.

Yeah, I saw that from the link posted earlier. It's interesting, thats for sure.

[Komori]

Noooooos! This ended sooner than the last plots! Those were 16+ chapters! ;__;


... And was I the only one who groaned at Bruno's predicament? Um, let's see, where have we heard the "Oh, you were cursed for far too long" line before? Oh yes, that's right. The blue sidekick character in the last plot... What was his name again? Oh. The Nightsteed. >_< I would've preferred the excuse that all the townspeople drank the last of the potionwater.

*Also recognized that similarity and muttered at it*

Interestingly, the links to most part of the plot (such as the Asylum and Sophie's Shack) are now 404 pages.

[Fraze]

As I said, I don't entirely believe that this plot is over yet. Sure, it wouldn't be a Neo plot without a cliched ending and a few gaping plot holes...but they could have given this one a far better denouement. I've read some great ideas on here about who the elephante guy really is, why Mr. Krawley was there, and so on...but we get nothing even vaguely resembling an explanation for any of these things.

[Kaljinyu]

Maybe the conversation will lead to the next part of the plot.

In the meantime, I'll just enjoy the charming 19th century London/New England theme of Neovia... Ahhhh...

Yeah, it was the standard lame excuse, maybe to prevent the "then sophie could brew some more of the potion" reply.

Honestly, I've thought it would end. The major was something like the big boss at the end... well, he was the big boss at the end. What Krawley's part in the plot was, I don't know, but that's the purpose. But what happened to Gilly? Did she stay in Neovia, or what?

Probably got lost in Eliv Thade's castle again. ^_^

*joins Komori and Spot in the muttering* Mutated for too long, my foot... the rest of the town got mutated about two days later, or not? Bruno was quite a bishie before he mutated. They really could´ve done that much for us... *shot*

Then again, maybe then he woulda looked too much like Kanrik. Imagine the conspiracy theories about long-lost relatives x3

(Now that would make a nice spinoff plot o.0)

But I wouldn´t be too surprised if the plot continued. They´ve pulled that one before and there are enough loose ends to gnaw at. Krawley, and maybe the Spirit of Slumber, and Gilly... beh, who am I kidding? Let´s have a seat and figure out what to do those next few months until the prizes and stuff arrive >>

Oh dear, we have enough fangirl-targets as it is. XD Darigan, Jeran, Garin, Jacques, and so much more. XD

Admittedly, while I won't say the plot was fantastically done, they were very punctual, and the plot steps were set in a fine line between plot and battling, difficult and not annoying. Unlike the Maraquan plot (horribly done battling system, though the art was lovely) or the Lost Desert one (not so good with the plot, puzzle quite well executed, if frustrating).
