Good point I guess we need dexterity for that or something.

I never ended up buying this book - I was way more into scifi back when the two fisted games were being published (which is why the last thread was such a trip down memory lane). I'm pretty sure somewhere in my parents attic is a mint copy of that weird Ancient Egyptian/Star Trek cyoa. Star Pharoah and the Curse of the Mummy's Black Hole? Something like that.

Anyway, any option where we can use our barrel to metal-gear-solid our way past the encounter gets my vote. If that isn't an option we better just start gardening until the situation resolves itself.

Nah, I think the bonewheel move mentions dexterity, but I don't think it's a requirement for anything. It has been a while though. I found it in the garbage room when I was eight. I remember playing through it until it burst into flames, so everything I say might just be child-me misremembering or misreading.

hi how are you

I think creeping up narrowly has it here. Update coming soon.

E: on second count it's a tie between barging in, creeping up on them or hiding in a barrel. next vote carries it.

this is the dream of every decroded skeleton

Here's the update:

Last time (fully scanned in now):



We bravely hide (249):



and that happens.

Well, what now? I'll get back to rummaging around for the scraps that seem to have fallen out of every part of this book while you consult your copies and memories for the next move.

Pop out of the barrel, cackling madly. Wave your arms and bob back and forth, swinging your shears haphazardly at any nearby targets.

yeah you've played this before. it all goes downhill from here. There's a reason this book was singled out as the most disgusting entry in the series.

Pop out of the barrel just long enough to throw a single bone and have it travel very slowly through the air in the general direction of your targets. Do this once per second.

Wait for an opportune moment while the Elves and Hippandros are busy and Unleash our enslaved brethren!

Since we're just bones the bear doesn't see us as food, but he'll attack everything else.

I can't remember if he becomes our buddy or trundles off after the fight though, I read a reprint that read a little weird with non-matching page numbers so I guess it was one of Two Fisted Steve's attempts at 'editing' the original.

After the fight we should get the option of 'upgrading' our appendages, or at least taking a spare or two.

From a certain point of view, our "enslaved brethren" are actually the skeletons of the men and elves trapped within living flesh. We have an obligation to free all of them.

Whatever you do, make sure to make a skeleton pun like "roll them bones!" if we decide to roll at them in our barrel and bowl them over like ninepins.

Or "I guess you're boned!" (general application)

That is an extremely valid point. Happily, by releasing the bear we achieve the same result with more mayhem and hopefully less danger to our own flesh-less skeleton.

The only way to get huge fast is to insult a passing witch and hope she curses you with Beast-strength.


I am fully in favor of trying to court the Admiral's fiancée but we should have the elf's fancy hat to go with that cloak from later on if we want to be fashionable so let's attack the elves.
