Elves claim to be in tune with nature, but in reality, there's a reason why cavalry regiments are mainly human, with the occasional feisty halfling: elven mounts are usually stolen. We have six horses, a valuable prize, and most of our skellies are farm workers. If we're not careful, the elves will quickly cut the reins (and our own throat), later discover our bonus hoard of coins and leaves, and use our hapless passengers for skittle games. I suggest feigning terror, scattering some of Aggie's generous payment in the road together with all the elven leaves – their own currency – and seeing if the elves will start killing each other over it. We can then try kicking them to death, backed up by the three skeletons that are actually armed, and any of the worker skeletons fired up to wield their shovels. (NB There's a reason Aggie is so hoarse: skeletons don't have good hearing and are not over-bright. Any complex or lengthy exhortation will probably be lost on them.)

UPDATECarnival of Shrews posted:Elves claim to be in tune with nature, but in reality, there's a reason why cavalry regiments are mainly human, with the occasional feisty halfling: elven mounts are usually stolen. All of this is more or less correct although no one seriously believes that elves have any link with nature, they're just monumentally lazy. Feigning surrender is an option under the defensive selection below, (as is the skeleton dance), but the thread went for: Random Hajile posted:SPLIT YOUR LUNGS WITH BLOOD AND THUNDER We go on the offensive with a rousing speech (202): And as we've decided to start using the boots (89): The elf attack unfolds at a certain pace, as do our allies. We've seized the initiative and rushed ahead so now we're in a tight spot. Since the caravan is undefended and there are more elves coming from the other side it might be a good idea to blitz as quickly as possible, however it could get us killed or at least put our half-elf in danger. This time though we have a few options - we can use one of the listed items (in most cases this will destroy the item) or we can attempt to fight these elves until the skeletons finish off their current fight. If we decide to fight it will use the rules for multiple combatants which means that we pick a target each round, and that target is the only one that will be damaged if we win our attack - the other two will simply not damage us. so it's Pixie Bits or Condiments or Fight Saint Isaias Boner fucked around with this message at 02:40 on Jul 17, 2015 |

forgot to mention that if you recall exactly what those options did it'd be helpful as I have three different versions of this book now and they all say something different (they're all pretty destructive though).

Use the condiment packets Elves are a bunch of worthless stoners anyways, the pixie bits would probably do nothing they haven't already done to themselves.

If I remember correctly, one of the options had you flinging it into the eyes of the elves and them reeling back from whatever it was that was thrown at them. Another one did a similar thing, but instead lures out some kind of flying creature that was attracted to it.

We use up our condiments, and this happens: I roll 1 for the shield saving throw, but we needed 4+. We get an injury. The ants take care of the rest, though. Two elves down, one to go. Since it's a simple fight I'll just run through it: I put in 6 effort, which means we need a 5 or 6 to hit on either of our two FISTS. I don't get it in our first round - we lose 3 effort as we're fighting an elf while wearing elf-stomping boots, plus another effort for carrying that shield. I try again with 6 effort and we hit the elf. With only 1 toughness he goes down. 4 effort lost again for the same reasons as last round. The entire fight cost 8 effort.. Outcome: we win. Some crappy rolls this time, hopefully our luck improves because the boss of this area is a bastard. Anyway, we can hear fighting at the caravan and there are at least some more elves ahead. What should we do? Adventure sheet:

I could have sworn I read something about combining a knife with boots if you had the item cards. Yes, it does but it's a bit more limited than later books in the series. If there's a loot card for the combination you can do it, but you might wind up with something worthless and lose two items. Let me know if you see something you want combined.

Hm, I'm not seeing anything. I know there was something cool with the soup, the oyster and the codpiece, but it was literally only useful for one obscure option. I thought we had a dagger for some reason, that's why I was thinking about knifeboots.

Let's get back to the caravan and defend it from there, maybe going slightly ahead to sniff out traps. Our task is protecting the caravan first and foremost, as fun as going rogue and elf stomping can be we should probably not incur the wrath of Aggie I remember my first playthrough I was hoping there was a Rod of Ant Control or something similar because, depending on the choices you make, the game can become a game of cat and mouse trying to avoid swarms of murderous ants. In other news, since the ants in my back yard stole my last copy of SotBE, I've since caught them stealing scraps of paper from my printer's feed tray and glue stick ends. I think they may be trying to repair the book What it is with this book and ants? At least I'm not that guy on the usenet boards back in the day who got a copy only to discover the cover was slick with some sort of noxious chemical that ended up being ant pheromone, at least according to the coroner's report
