#1: The reference is from Edgar Allen Poe's "The Cask of Amontillado" in which the main character (narrator) leads Fortunado to the family grounds of the Montresors "Nemo me impune lacessit", of which the narrator is a family member, through the family burial grounds and into the vaults of the Montresor family. "In pace requiescat" is the final line from the story. #2 Three head textures, three body textures.

Wow! Yay! I'm so impressed! I asked four college students about the headstone reference, and they just shrugged. Dave-So, you've just grabbed a free copy of Thear! I'll send you a link as soon as I hear back from my beta testers. And thanks Little_Dragon, SndCastie and Ravenism, too, for restoring my belief that literary types really do exist! No one has yet guessed the correct combination of textures though... Very close. Very close.
