Kitchen
(view spoiler)[Home is where the heart is and the kitchen is where the stomach is. You feel like you've gone months without a good solid meal in your tummy. Chocolate eggs just aren't cutting it anymore for you. A sensible solution seems to be to install a kitchen in your house.

Monster list

Common monster
(view spoiler)[Common Monsters - Common monsters exist everywhere in staggering amounts. After you kill one though the others scurry back into their holes for a week. You may either wait a week for them to become hungry and venture out again or bribe them out by using one of your spare books. Unfortunately, books used in this way are eaten and aren't good for anything else.
• Goblin - A green little angry fellow that likes to stab weary (and unweary) travelers with sharp pointy sticks.
6 Attack 10 Health - Reward: 1 Experience, 1 Goblin Bone

• Sewer Rat - The bane of all young hero's, the iconic sewer rat. Biting at ankles, he makes his presence known one nip and nibble at a time. Maximum hero level of 7. Sewer rats will flee from any hero level 8 and higher.
3 Attack 5 Health - Reward: 1 Experience

• Brown Bat - The brown bats are much prettier than the black bats because of their grace, stamina and ability to make a lovely bat leather hat.
3 Attack 15 Health - Reward: 1 Experience, 1 Bat Wing

• Greater Sewer Rat - The larger, stupider cousin of the average Sewer Rat. These rats are bigger, smellier and have beadier eyes.
8 Attack 20 Health - Reward: 2 Experience, 1 Rat Tail

• Logophilic Lemur - These are the termites of Novel Kingdom. They are everywhere! They have chewed their way through an adverb forest and a whole crop of newly sprouted adjectives.
15 Attack 35 Health - Reward: 2 Experience, 1 Gold

Sorry to tell you but Matchmakers play book can only be used once. If you've used it for the sword, you cannot use it a second or a third time unless you've used a duplication potion.

Same thing with Rush by Maya Banks. 1 item= 1 book. :-(

Thanks for saying. I will keep it in mind
