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.)

Sorry about the scan quality as usual. It looks like we're about to get jumped from both sides of the road. You can give an order to the skeletons and take a single action before all hell breaks loose.

1. What's the order?

2. What is the half-elf doing?

Adventure sheet:

Order: Tell our friend James Boned to relay '.- - - .- -.-. -.- ' in Skeleto-Morse, boinged out on his ribcage.

Our action: Scatter all elf leaf currency, and about 100 guilders of Aggie's stash, to the winds, and scream for mercy as convincingly as we can.
