200th avatar! ?
Something Has Happened! You are now eligible to use 'Sewage Surfer' as an avatar on the NeoBoards!

Until this week, my high score was about 100 points. I am very proud of myself. 

For what it's worth, Fyora is still MIA from the hidden tower as well. I know this has been referenced in the Editorial at least once or twice since the plot ended but it still hasn't been returned to normal.

None of your Neofriends are currently online. You must be lonely. 
  The Hidden Tower Baelia looks up as you enter, and her face lights up. "Hello there. I'm here to make sure everyone can still buy the artefacts they need while Fyora.. you know..." Her voice trails off and she looks down unhappily. "I'm just glad I could find a way to help out in our time of need. I've also been rearranging things here, so you may not find a few of the older items, but there are new ones that you really should check out."
NOTE - Please only click on these items if you wish to make a purchase!!!
 

Don't take this away from Baelia. I'm sure the poor thing finally feels like she has a purpose in life taking care of the Hidden Tower.
...
Maybe she likes her new job too much, so she took the necessary measures to keep her position... No wonder we haven't seen Fyora in a while.

I decided to visit Neovia this morning because of the daily question, and found this.  Oops!  Guess someone forgot to take parts of the plot down!

I made a Neoboard about the Advent Calendar and guess who stopped by !!!
SCRAPPY 
yes SCRAPPY herself was on my neoboard !! and she chatted with me and other users 
I'm still in awe 
here's a link to the board

As they're not a Grarrl any more I'm sure they're pretending they never did anything of the sort.  ?

That's fabulous! I hope your Grarrl has learned its lesson about eating your furniture :)

From what I've seen on the neoboards, it's only the really valuable stuff, like paint brushes, that'll get you the avatar. I think I saw several posts saying even codestones won't do the trick.
 
*Edit: I just checked the neoboards, and apparently the items that'll get you the avvie are:
 

Greetings Neopians,
Our ALP now has a Battle Pet available for lends. Our new battle-ready Jubjub was donated to us by a generous member of our community. If you wish to borrow our Battle Pet we are now taking requests starting for the month of November. The lending for this pet is different than our previous battle pet(s). Previously you were allowed to use the lab ray on our battle pet, this is no longer permitted as the pet was physically trained at the training schools around Neopia. You will need to provide your own weapons as normal, however, we have a few items in his set that can be sent to you for full collateral. More details to come on this as the appropriate collateral is worked out. If you choose to borrow the weapons from us as well, you are responsible and if something happens it is on you to replace the lost item(s) or we simply keep your collateral. Weapons in his set and the required collateral will be listed on his lending information page.

Through a gracious donation, we are pleased to offer lends for the Tonu - Charge avatar. Requests for our brand new Tonu will be handled like any other pet chains. We are still in the process of testing how this avatar works, so things may change in the near future. Also, it is unclear if the current solution to unlocking this avatar is a glitch or if it will revert back to the previous method.

Thank you both for your help in making these chains possible!

Do you happen to know what the "weight" was on the table your Grarrl ate? It shows in the item popup box when you click an item in your inventory and JN doesn't even list it for most items because it's functionally useless. Foods are about the only category of item on Neo where the weight of the item actually makes a difference to anything. The more an item weighs, the more it will move your pet up the scale on fullness. 
(I know this only because I'm sloooowly working one of my pets towards the Gourmet Club, and foods with different weights impact how fast your pet gets full. So for example, feeding a pet a food with a weight of 1lb will move it up one fullness level. Feeding a pet a food with a 2lb weight will move it up 2 fullness levels, etc.)
I haven't had a Grarrl for years but I know they can eat just about anything. (I used to fill mine up on the seaweeds from the fishing daily, just because he was the only pet I had who could eat them and they were otherwise pointless.) I'm guessing that your table was pretty hefty in weight, as a lot of the furniture pieces are, and that's what caused your pet to get completely full and stay there. Be interesting to see how long it lasts!

@DragonPhoenix I don't know, but I've got another in my SDB so I can find out! ?
*scoots off*
Item : Hewn Stone Table
Weight120lbs ? ?
Well I NEVER knew this!!!
So it could be QUITE some time before Cora's hungry again. ?

Woohoo! Shout-out to the awesomeness of the TDN ALP... I just got my first avvie that comes courtesy of an ALP lend. You guys rock! Thank you so much for offering this service

That RE is lovely, I've never seen it before! My daughter's girl scout troop is building a little free library as a service project (it's in pieces in my garage right now lol) and it makes me think of that. I hope I get that RE someday!

I've never gotten this random event before! What fun! Even more fun because I'm actually a librarian, and was at work when I got it!!

haha Mr. E Nice one!

I have tried to do quests for him twice today, but they have both been too expensive, asking for three items.. one or two are reasonable, then the last is like 150k. I have time to try at least one more time tonight.
Edit:
Now that you have provided the correct information to the Brain Tree, it is his turn to reward you. He gives you the following magical item, and also 1713 NP!

No avie today.

I nearly bit off more than I could chew today, fighting Vira on hard ?
Managed to survive and switched to medium difficulty, phew. Still nearly all r90+ unique prizes from her, so it's all good. ?
 
Let's see what Mr. E wants today...
Well now... I have both of these in my SDB...

 
?
Second quest...

Slime Ghostkersandwich
Nice, used all my stock at the Faerie Employment Agency, but these at least haven't started inflating yet, let's see what I win...

Your Neopoint reward has been entered into the Brain Tree High Score Table.

Garlic Shield No avatar for  me then‼ ?

Just as a note, the last two days the Esophagor has asked me for foods that can be won as battledome prizes when fighting in the spooky arena. Now, I'm not going to get that lucky every day - no one is - but if you're looking to build your stockpile of potential foods needed for these quests without spending a ton of NP while it's all inflating, there are a number of BD challengers that give out spooky foods. Several of the spooky arena challengers have very low HP on easy, so even if you're not an advanced battledome player you can use this method. Good luck to all those trying for the new avvie!

Brutes it is! Let's get that avatar for the needy ones! I don't mean needy but I mean the people that still need it ofcourse.

I may abandon the Koi Warrior and go back to the Rattling Cauldron for a while!
Might actually fight the Brain Tree, lol, what could be more fitting? ?

That is a great tip about battling the opponents in the Haunted Woods arena, thank you DragonPhoenix!
