hi how are you

Update:

You noticed what the book was doing and finally decided to eat some balls. We flip forward to 171:



This spares us a really tough fight and gains us a permanent increase in Elan along with the Manly Hairs item:



More junk, but it can't be gotten rid of (it grows back)

We need to decide what to do next:

1) What to do about our beaten adversary
2) Should we continue on to Bilgeton with the caravan or do something else?

I was trying to dig up the balls-eating animation but ran out of time, hopefully will be able to find it.

Adventure sheet:


---------------------------------------

For those of you who wanted to fight, I ran the battle out. The first couple of times he hit and killed us in the first round. The third time I tried we hit him in the first round by some luck, got hit in the second and saved, and got hit in the last and failed to save. Basically I couldn't get to three rounds. I think this guy is the toughest in the game by far and if you want to fight him you need to start with 9 Elan and try not to lose any throughout the adventure, and of course try not to be too wounded.

E: You may have noticed - the book is really starting to fall apart now. I left it near a lamp and the grease that had soaked into the pages caught fire. We're nearly at the end so hopefully it holds together until we finish this LP.

Shouldn't our Adventure sheet portrait have a bit more 'stash?

1) Loot and shave our bested opponent and send him bare and buck naked back to Aggie. She'll find something to do with him.

2) Onto Bilgeton! We can double-cross the skeletons there and make some mad coin selling whatever it was were were guarding.

We demand to be taken seriously

Let's chain the prisoner to the front of the lead wagon, and use our medical skills to set up an ongoing blood transfusion between him and the skeleton driver. Harvest elf ribcages and make them into a xylophone for a skeleton to play at the front of a wagon, and stretch elf pelts over spare barrels to make a drum set for another skeleton wagon to jam on.

Then onward to Bilgeton!

People keep saying this kind of thing but this book predates the Elder Scrolls by something like 15 years...either it's a coincidence or Bethesda referenced this book.

E: Aggie can probably see the battle from her house (you are literally in her driveway), if you just leave the corpses she'll send someone to get them.

It's almost certainly a nod to the series by Bethesda. It also explains why they never fixed the Cliff Racers because nothing was broken with them. One of my friends who was more into CYOA books than I was brought this up at the time, but I didn't know what he was talking about. Kinda neat to finally see it though.

Looks as though we'll be doing this, it's only possible if you have one of the items that establishes you as a psychopath, which of course we have. I'll check again later on and post the update (and an ending we're missing out on)

Update:

Big update this time. Scanner made it nearly through to the end!
Got the page scanned in at last:



Most people want to finish him, but since there's an ending right here if we spare him let's look at that too. Turning to 78 for now:



But yeah, we're not doing that. Turning to 299:



We get the elf's sword and a pamphlet about a certain milkman:



This sword is better than the one we already have. Some people have already asked to combine them, which is a possibility.

And since y'all asked for it, on to probably the most repulsive entry in the entire game book:



We're now approaching Bilgeton, a walled city that will probably have a guard that may or may not be looking for us depending on whether anyone saw us committing our various crimes or not.

Anyway, decisions.

1. What extra item did we loot from the dead elves?
2. What's the plan as we approach Bilgeton?

Yessss we got the good ending AND still get to have one of the numerous blood and terrible endings. There is nothing I love in this world more than murdering elves and driving to extinction is fantastic. Shame that in the canon storyline his blood is being sprayed all over a skeleton but ehhh, maybe we'll do a little light reading and ask the half-elf just why the hell he had a milkman pamphlet on his person when the horses stop to water?

1) WE SHOULD MAKE A BELT OUT OF ELF HEADS I HATE drat ELVES SO MUCH
2) Approach as normal. We're legitimate now that we're riding with Aggie's crew! Should earn us some cred, then let's find her contact and trade some skeletons for the rest of the cash
