Re: Victorious - The Clockwork Crimes
There was a re-release of the QS as the first release had the wrong versions of Monitor and American Eagle. That was my fault, as I inadvertently sent the wrong versions to TLG. That's what I get for not reviewing the file first!

Re: Yellow mold XP = Nil
That's correct, I did the write-ups for Yellow Mold, Banshee, and Giant Tick. I never got credited though.
IMO, the encounter of Yellow Mold is similar to a trap or save or die poison; which don't give a set XP AFAIK. That's what the CK is for!

There's one thing the guy brought up that frankly baffles me.
