That's a lot of effort we only need 8 if I understand the rules to be sure we kill him. Average of 6? So like lets use 7 we win if we don't roll snake eyes!

Bash the bat with the bare minimum of effort!

And I don't know how happy dad will be to see us so we had better do the gentle-elf thing and pick him a bouquet of flowers before we get there. Dads love flowers.

Have our polish friend crouch on his hands and knees behind the man-bat, then push the monster down and call him a nerd and proceed to kick him brio he cries like a baby.

This is an A+ plan it cannot fail.

We roll 18 dice for FISTS, so we are pretty much guaranteed a 6. We can save some effort.

Do we keep one or two dice? Is it 1d6 or 2d6?

hi how are you

Looks like the general idea is to fight the bat (bending over and pretending to be a lady bat will earn us a kicking, the bat doesn't swing that way). After that the front-running option is humiliate the bat and/or make him help. Alternatives so far:

Use the Pole on the tree to get a look around
Pick flowers for Dad
Go in that bat cave and cuck the bat


I'll check how things stand in a few hours then post the update.

Roll 2 dice, keep 1. Effort is used up each round as well (this fight will take at least 2 rounds) so it's best to use as little effort as possible, just like in real life.

RAP BATTLE!!!!!!!!!!

You can imagine every battle is a rap battle if that helps. That's the magic of books, especially books that replace all the action with dice-rolling mechanics.

Update

Fixed the last page up:



I also dug around some more and found the cards that came with this game. Every item has its own card with a little picture and explanation of their effect or abilities, if any. Here's what we have:



You might notice I wasn't right about the Pole. If you have Karol you can try to use his help by adding 30 to the page number and turning to that page. If it makes sense then read on. Some people wanted to get Karol to help out in the fight so I used his ability to see what happens. Turning to 210:



Nothing useful. We have to fight this thing on our own.

Combat:

We have Elan 7, +1 from the sword, giving us a total of 8. We can commit up to 8 Effort to each round. We have two Fists so roll 2D6 and add the higher of the two numbers to the amount of Effort committed.

The Bat has an Effort rating of 9 and a toughness of 2. Shouldn't be very hard but it'd be best not to risk losing a round. I go for 6 Effort per round, meaning we need 4+ on either dice to win. In future I'll get the thread to work out the battle strategy.

First roll is a 4 and a 2, giving us 10 and bringing the Bat's toughness down to 1.
Second roll is a 6 and a 1, giving us 12 and winning the fight. I add the Bat to the trophy list on the sheet.


We lost a total of 12 Effort doing that - even winning a battle can be bad news, which is why sometimes it's best to throw them if you have the option. We have 78 Effort left. But hey, Sweet Belt.



This adds an extra Fist, at least temporarily. We now have 3 Fists.

Back to the matter at hand - the thread seems to be generally in favour of taking their frustrations out on the Bat and maybe shaking him down for info, so let's do that. Turn to 33:



This page is complete, even if suspiciously stained and mysteriously stuck to the page before it. +5 Effort is handy, even if we gain it through questionable means.

We now have a choice as to how our adventure will continue : the Pixie Glade, the Big Rock Goblin Mountain or here, with the woman (wombat?) of our dreams.

Finally, here's the updated adventure sheet:

Karol isn't much of a climber. He's a dungeoneering Pole so probably more useful underground than outdoors.
