Incredible work so far btw OP, having failed spectacularly at piecing one of these rare books together from two beaten to hell copies I stumbled on in part of my brother's comic book collection I bought off him wholesale I know your pain. Interestingly enough, one copy (which had apparently had its own wombat-tier "incident" with an eclair doughnut) was eaten by ants, but the other copy that was actually in decent shape was literally carried off by ants to an unknown location after they had eaten the first. This is interesting, I need not tell you of course, because of the bit with ant colony later on if you (correct me if I'm wrong here) chose to attend the gala dressed in the barrel and 1 shoe. I thought it was pretty odd at the time but now that everybody here is sharing stories as to the mysterious ways copies of this book have left their possession it makes me wonder. edit - while I mourn the loss of my two copies, I do live next to a library, and I take solace in my firmly held belief that the ants in question may be librarian ants who have chosen to restore the books to pristine condition and keep them forever out of the hands of humans who clearly cannot be trusted Epic High Five fucked around with this message at 20:37 on Jul 3, 2015 |

Update: Sorry the update's late tonight. The new book gave me a paper cut while I was scanning it. Nothing too serious but I had to go to hospital and get a few stitches. Apparently it somehow cut me down to the nerves and I might never straighten my right index finger again? I'm really more upset about the new book, it's kind of ruined now Here's the properly scanned image, don't mind the smudges, it's not as bad as it looks: A pretty even split between the options to finish him off using the pixie dust and to heal him up. One of these options leads to the very first endings that you can get to in this game, so let's check that out first: Claven666 posted:i wonder what would happen if we saved his life? Pyroi posted:Let's try to help him, and see if we can become allies. It's not the worst ending possible but it would have been good to find Dad and maybe get a real Sword of the Bastard Elf instead of a figurative one. At least Jeff got what was coming. Epic High Five posted:Now that it's likely not going anywhere, I'd like to Toss pixie dust on him, and while it takes effect I shall regale him in excruciating detail of my amorous affair with the bat creature to ensure his hallucinations are entirely of my plowing a giant wombat On this note, checking out page 347: Rolling for potion effects again (we don't lose the Elan because we have a Pixie-skin Cloak equipped): I got snake eyes. Rerolled and got 4. We had to fight a Granny and we only had 6 Elan, which means it was unbeatable. Sorry guys, adventure over. Trying again, I rolled 8, which made this a very useful healing potion instead of a potion of dying of hallucinations. Potions in this game are scary. Now with the Knight finally out of the picture, we can select one piece of loot from the corpse before moving on... what do we take?

am i right in thinking the Phalloknight is some sort of dick centaur type dude, i.e. we can't look his cock steed because it's his own dick? if we can take the steed we could get to bilgeton a lot faster. if not, i say we make a thorough search of the Phalloknight and take the most demonic artifact

Good stuff! The great sword would be pretty great, but as we already have a fine blade and the knight's weapon would probably be too heavy for us I am also in favor of adding a dick helmet to the inventory.

It seems to me that the only thing that won't be grossly too heavy to use would be the helmet. But there's a lot of strange stuff in this book, so maybe I'm wrong

take the 'eye' from his steed, it's small and not technically part of the knight's armor so it should be free right? you don't have to do this if the eye loot card turns out to be from an endgame area though we don't want to break the book also i cannot help but notice that his sword does not match the one in the bestiary. is this the censored UK version?

The Phalloknight's helm could be used as an impromptu shelter or clothing... or more importantly as proof you slew a Phalloknight. Bilgeton and a few tales later (in which we omit the part where we summoned the thing in the first place) and I bet we're stuffed full of sweet jingly coin.

Main quest updateBadgerSeat posted:Loot the phalloknight and be on your way to bilgeton Although the last page said to take one item it's pretty easy to take the wrong thing here and get locked out of some possible endings. There's no time limit here so let's just assume the Elf scoops up everything he can carry and/or cut off. Carlton Fisk posted:The Phalloknight's helm could be used as an impromptu shelter or clothing... or more importantly as proof you slew a Phalloknight. Bilgeton and a few tales later (in which we omit the part where we summoned the thing in the first place) and I bet we're stuffed full of sweet jingly coin. The helmet is big, but fine - if we want to equip it it gives us a bonus to Elan in combat and a malus out of combat.As you say it could be useful up ahead though so whether we equip it or not let's just take it.

I vote In addition to looting the PhalloHelm, we feast on a testicle to gain the virility our spindly and meek frame needs so badly There's a loot card for the testicle, so let's have it. You can either eat it for some useful effects or hold onto it for a situational effect: Dreggon posted:take the 'eye' from his steed, it's small and not technically part of the knight's armor so it should be free right? you don't have to do this if the eye loot card turns out to be from an endgame area though we don't want to break the book Why not. I'm not sure what it does though. To answer your question the Phalloknight in the Bestiary is probably a different knight, they're all meant to have their own unique gear. I think the shield has a different device on it too. This enemy appears a tedious number of times throughout the series and is probably the main reason the books got ditched by the publisher. Claven666 posted:am i right in thinking the Phalloknight is some sort of dick centaur type dude, i.e. we can't look his cock steed because it's his own dick? Yeah, and even if it wasn't part of him, we just killed it. A_Bug_That_Thinks posted:Take his pills of monumental ejaculation. No loot card for that but the testicle will do the trick I think. Moving on to 55: The main decisions here: a) Do we want to wear the dick helmet or just carry it around? b) Do we eat the testicle or save it for later? Not much of a choice this time but after all we've been through we could use a breather. Adventure sheet: Saint Isaias Boner fucked around with this message at 00:45 on Jul 6, 2015 |

Eat elf rations for sure, making sure of course that we are not eating any elf currency.

Epic High Five posted:Eat elf rations for sure, making sure of course that we are not eating any elf currency.

We still have our valuable teeth as a backup currency as well as a whole bunch of junk we're hauling around which we can possibly fence later on. Anyway turning to 106... We've stumbled across a royal picnic or something along the road to Bilgeton. We saw them before they saw us, which is good because it looks like they've got guards.Of course my scanner is on the fritz again so hopefully the thread can recall what options were available on this page. Anyway what's the plan? We could just ignore them and keep hiking but we've got a long way to go and they've got transport, food and other stuff we could use, if they could be convinced to help us out. Adventure sheet:
