Politeness is an important part of Chivalry, and might just head off the inevitable Monty Python quotes. Let's talk to him!

Mikl posted:What's this? More gold? It is, you know - fifty Gold Pieces and a double-headed copper coin. What a bit of luck! Considering that this came from a Leprechaun, can we arrange to make sure we've spent this before sunrise? As for this room, however, remember that while curiosity may have killed the cat, satisfaction brought it back. So let's satisfy our curiosity about what's in that chest!

I think we should get leather armour, a dagger, a food pack, a backpack, a waterbag, some rope, some torches, and five healing potions. I think that's all 80 silver. Once we've got all that, let's go to Section 155 'cos it's closest and I'm feeling lazy. Have the rules said what healing potions do this time around?

idonotlikepeas posted:I don't think we need to buy five rounds of potions, though; note that each 3 silver gets us a dozen. drat, I must have misread that. Nonetheless, I'm firmly of the opinion that if buying sixty healing potions is wrong then I do not want to be right.

Section 155 posted:It's a dead end! Would you believe anybody could do a thing like that? Fancy putting a complete dead end on a map! And you've trudged miles to get here. Afraid there's nothing else for it but to trudge miles all the way back again and try another route. God dammit, game! Fine. Let's go to the other end of the map and pick Section 21. And if they pull the same bullshit a second time, I'd like us to (a) try 65 instead, or (b) hunt down the writer and slap them. Also, I can't help but be curious just how many life points the leather armour is going to save us over the course of the book - considering that for the same money we could have got 192 healing potions and 24 sacks to carry them in.

Well, we already know a couple of ways out of the village, so we don't want to pay extra for being told about those back doors we've found. But let's pay for a snippet of info about the Dragon Cavern. After that, let's go to whichever house was the free insta-heal. Looking at the map, it looks like 40 and 48 are the only cottages we haven't seen yet, so let's try those.

Mikl posted:I wonder if there's some way to know which one to choose. Maybe someone has been here before and left us a hint? That would be nice. Well, I've just gone back and re-read the Ethelbert scroll we got from Pellinore, and it's... less than useful. Beyond warning us of wailing spirits being an insta-death, it mainly just says that it's reasonably safe up here but dangerous on the lower levels. Let's try going right.

Snake venom antidote! Let's go back to Merlin, get him to give us a time travel spell, and travel back to book 1 when that snake bit us. Failing that, 128 is as good a choice as any. Is anyone else getting a bit bored of these blind choices? They could have at least given a hint or two where the passages lead.

Okay, let's work this out logically... Two dwarves have escaped. This is not by happenstance - the dwarves very deliberately turned tail and ran when they were down to the last two. Therefore, having two dwarves is somehow significant. The dwarves are here to tend the machine. They must know how to operate it. Remaining able to do so is so important to them that it takes precedence over attacking the person who just murdered their ten brothers. Therefore, the minimum number of dwarves required to operate the machine is two. Dwarves are short. A dwarf could probably pull a lever down easily enough, but a single dwarf is too short to push a lever up. However, two dwarves (one on the other's shoulders) have a notably higher reach. Therefore, it takes two dwarves to push a lever up. We have precisely enough dwarves remaining that they could raise one of the levers. Push one lever up and pull two levers down. (I note also that the two surviving dwarves have run off towards where the key was stored, doubtless hoping to use the machine to get revenge on us. But we're too smart for them!)

Ethelbert hasn't steered us wrong yet. Since we can't take two hits from these things anyway, first cast PiRsquared so we have a better chance of killing them all before they get us.

Cast PiRsquared, abuse the globule wand as much as possible, then carve it to pieces with EJ's enhanced dragon-slicing abilities. If it does a lot of damage, also cast PANIC.
