We demand to be taken seriously

Travel to a respectable town inn, stay the night and befriend the owner to obtain employment and make inquires about decent small houses for sale. Purchase a small furnished cottage in a decent part of town and keep it in good condition while socializing with the neighbors. Befriend the girl next door and court her, converting to Bilgenalism.

Invite your mother to the wedding, and let her see the stable life you have created. Allow her to name the first grandchild whatever she likes. Join the local tavern goons in Pixie hunts and dryad purges. When the time is right, write a letter to Jeff asking to bury the hatchet and visit your home, to see the kids and your new granite countertops. Enclose a fine Bilgeton whiskey to seal the deal.

When he arrives welcome him warmly and invite him inside. As he steps over the entryway, have James Boned shank him.

- Find string, Combine teeth and string into a necklace.
- Find Ted's house. Look for an Insignia Ring of some sort.
- Bequeath the house and everything therein to ourself.


I can't remember how much of that is doable, but, I'm voting for as much of that as I can.

Edit: gently caress, looks like we already have a signet ring. Assuming it's Ted's, skip the second item and get straight to having "Ted" give "Us" the house and posessions.

That ring belongs to Count Hugues "The Mark" of Bilgeton but since he's Tedbald's liege it's probably just as good.

hi how are you

There's a small majority in favour of tracking down the Pole as a first order of business and then running some elaborate scam where we pretend to be a knight and steal everything he owns. Karol mentioned the Hoary Boar. There are two inns in the town: the Hoary Boar is a sleazy dump and the New Naracourte is far swankier.

The other options so far are to head over to the market and try to buy some stuff with all the gold, teeth and leaves we've been lugging around, or to push our luck and try to get some reward money out of the guards while covering our tracks a bit more (if possible).

I'll check back in a bit.

This book and its various compendiums predate Al-Qaeda by about five years, back then they were the Mujahedeen. I think the author of this series along with most Europeans and Americans had a beef with the Japanese and communists at the time so the elven terrorist group du jour is the Elven Sekigun (エルフ赤軍/ERA).

Let me add to the majority here, and although I don't understand a single word of Polish, I'm pretty sure the Pole did say "Hoary Boar" so that's probably where he's waiting for us, so let's get him some beer ASAP.

This, and plan to enter high society as 'Ted', assuming his identity as a upperclass man-about-town. Meet a rich heiress at a party and retire to a life of luxury in a private fort, after a scorched-earth anti-Jeff campaign.

Sounds like a solid plan. Also if we tell the guards they're all doing a splendid job and give them raises with someone else's money. Who are they gonna believe to be the real guy? The one paying them more? Or the guy who walks in and would take away their raises?

So buy out the city guard, get a translator for Karl, let him in on the plan to take over the city with a fake name to declare war on Jeff.
And make him your right hand man. Also equal rights for skeletons

The problem with stealing Ted's life is that people might expect us to do...Ted things.

Whereas, if "Ted" just so happens to leave everything to "Whatever our real name is", then we're free to continue being a lazy piece of poo poo with no marketable skills outside of Elvish Persecution while living high off of Ted's wealth. Plus no needing to cover our tracks when people who know him show up and want to talk or prove we're a fake.

All the good stuff, no chance of responsibility.

OP I was looking into these book series and I think I figured out why your finger won't stop bleeding. They used a glue that had similar properties as rat poison to bind it. Also why the books are so scarce a lot of them were recalled because they were afraid children would lick the books or chew on them.

You may want to handle the books with gloves or more care. While it is a small trace amount of the poison. Still...

hi how are you

Update
Scan completed. There's still a majority for getting to Karol and then following through with stealing Tedbald's identity or at least finding some way to leech off him. Since this is a multi-step process, I'll make the move that gets us closest to this. Yesterday's scan:



We go to the Hoary Boar, the worst inn in town (26):



Not many options here but I'll leave it up to you guys to work out. However this all shakes out we'll work on the master plan after the tavern is cleared, Anyway not a big update tonight but the old scanner needs a break!

This is a valid concern. The elf can't do what he doesn't know - he might be able to trick a few guards but he might get busted if he actually has to meet with his lord at some point. Something to think about for the future anyways

I'll get a Bestiary entry scanned for Poles tomorrow - they come from so far away that you might find one or two of them total in the biggest towns. Certainly no embassies or translators, although a few people could probably speak Polish if they've had a lot of contact with a Pole. Our half-elf can't because he's too lazy or rude to have learned any Polish despite knowing Karol practically all his life.
