PIXIE

6: From an Irish word meaning “small body,” this race of elves is believed to reveal hidden treasure to the one who catches it.

LEPRECHAUN

KISS KISS BANG BANG

Oh crap. I just realized I haven't scored this either. I am officially a failure at scoring...I'll get to this before I get to R6D6. Sorry for the (even longer than usual) delay, folks.

P.S.: If anyone has the urge to step in and do the scoring before I get the chance to, they are very welcome. (I don't want to pass it off at the last minute or anything, but I also feel bad for holding the game up for so long.) Again, I'm really sorry about this, and I'll get to both days as soon as I can.
