We demand to be taken seriously

Injure the guard but leave him conscious. Load our loot onto the remaining horse. As we prepare to depart, hear the guard demand to know what we believe in. Walk up to him and kneel, and place a small bag of pixie dust loosely tied with string in his mouth.

Remove our helmet and say "I believe that whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... Jeff." Tie the other end of the string to your horse so the guard gets doused as you ride away, blending in with a parade of identical horses.

1. Do we still want to contaminate the camp with mixed pixie bits and the cockeye?
Save the parts.

2. Fight the guard or get captured? (not fighting the guard is the same as losing as far as the book is concerned, we will be captured)
Fight the guard.

3. Assuming we are not captured, what 3 items do we take before making a break for it? And by what means should we escape?
1) musical instrument
2) some kind of missile weapon
3) the rich lords drug stash

Escape with a horse

If I remember right, you have to get the nobles royalty stuff, signet ring, wax seal etc card so you can pose as a noble later on. Makes it a lot easier and you get some cooler swag down the line when you buy it on Sir dipshit's dime.

hi how are you

Thanks for votes. So far it's

Save the ingredients by a large margin

Fight the guard by an even larger margin

Take: clothes and royal jewels (4 votes for each)

Leave on horseback but not before framing Jeff

The only remaining choice is the third item : the instrument and the codpiece are neck and neck. The next post that suggests either of those two will decide the issue, or I'll pick one at random failing that.

Update coming shortly, just wrestling with the scanner and injuries as usual.

CODPIECE if it's super bejeweled and shiny, but I'd settle for a stringed instrument of some variety is the codpiece is pretty ho-hum

hi how are you

Main quest update

We've decided to fight the guard:



This should be a really easy fight - Effort 8, toughness 1. We have 3 fists so I set aside 4 Effort and roll a 5, a 3, and a 1 on the Sweet Belt's dice.



The guard is beaten but it cost us the belt, which is now snaking around looking for a new owner. Godspeed, gentle belt. For now we're back to 2 fists. That fight cost us 5 effort overall due to the shield.

Moving on, we keep the Marching Potion and 200 gold from the last update. We've also chosen decent clothes, jewellery and a codpiece.



Wrapping things up we turn back to 38:



We give credit to Jeff for what we've done here, then we pinch a horse and ride for it. Here's the horse:



And moving on to our next decision point:



(again with the broken scanner - and I left the book in the kitchen and it somehow got covered in grease too...I hate my housemates :argh:)

We lose 6 Effort here, again because of the shield.
Now, do we want to take a little while to ride over to that tower and sort out the Wizard of Warlock Tower on behalf of our useless brethren? Or is there something else that we should be doing?

Finally we will need a decision about the nice clothes - eventually we'll probably want to be wearing them because it'll be easier to fit in around civilised people, but in the meantime do we want the extra FIST in exchange for the loss of 1 Elan and the saving throw (neither of which have done us heaps of good so far, but you never know)? If we equip the decent outfit we can't wear our ugly helmet or lug around the shield any more.

With out Karol I don't like our chances of getting out of a wizard tower in one piece.... leave all our armor on and let's head to that loving tower!

Also, how much pixie parts/dust do we have left? Enough for one more use or can we squeeze two or three out of them?

See if the elves will pay in advance. If they will, take whatever they're stupid enough to give us, then pretend like we're going to the Wizard Tower, but actually ditching the quest once we're out of sight of the elves.

Warlocks don't have skeleton hordes, that's necromancers. They're obviously lying. loving elves, burn down a tree while staring at them. Surprise magical gift my rear end, it's the pixies all over again

I do think we should have a chat with that necromancer, and that we should keep our armor on, including the PhalloHelm, in order to impress him and make him less likely to horribly kill and rob us because we're wearing fancy clothing

Also, what does the faint background writing on the adventure scroll say, I can only make out a few words and am slightly hoping that it's the lyrics to August and Everything After

Assuming whatever 'surprise' these elves have got isn't just a stick enchanted to look like a stick or the magical treasure that was within you all along (it is), you'd probably have a much easier time taking the reward off them than earning it fighting the skeletons who're kicking their asses, and wizards sound like bad news. Defeat the skeletons, but only the ones hiding inside the elves. Find the wizard and attach lips firmly to magical rear end until he gives you powers. Skeleton wizard is your dad now.

It's the Wizard of Warlock Tower, necromancy is totally in a wizard's wheelhouse.

I have no idea what the erased writing on the adventure sheet says. I can only assume it's evidence of many happy adventures through the world of the Bastard Elf.
