Ambush Krotiq makes me laugh so much. I keep rereading the card and it keeps not having Flash. In what sense is this an ambush again? I just have visions of this huge Krotiq poorly concealed in some bushes, feeling slightly sad that his carefully planned ambushes never seem to work.
Lat-Nam: Sorry, I should've been more clear. I'm looking for the name of the manor where the secret garden is.
Salubrious: Jon answered #68 well before you did, and he answered with the name of the author, as the question asked.
Axelrod: According to the post times, it looks as if you posted the Hippomenes answer at roughly the same time that Lat-Nam edited his post to include the Hippomenes answer. So I gave you both the point.
