Of course she doesn't want to screw us, she already has a skeleton in her. Speaking of, we should liberate it from it's fleshy prison and date that.

hi how are you

Aggie's crypt is somewhere to the south of the tower, a few days' walk away, and going directly there will mean ditching your union droogs and bypassing bilgeton altogether. I should have posted the map that came with this but it's been systematically ripped out of every copy of the book in existence for reasons I don't fathom.

Unfortunately decrepit skeletons aren't capable of shimmying nearly as well as their more able-jointed brethren.
But they aren't capable of barrel roll!

Edit: I think the decrepit is a secret starter equipment that let us auto succeed a lot of things for keeping it.

Staying overnight is a full recovery. It's the last time the game is nice to us.

yep and yep.

So as far as I can tell we'll stay overnight (on the couch), and set off in the morning to get a printer cauldron for Aethelweird, sound OK? This will mean ditching the union skeles but we still have our one follower.

The Union skeles can be trusted to make their own way, but be sure to give them their guilders back to pay their dues once they get to Bilgeton.

i already scanned the pages, just preparing the update! :argh:

In answer to your question - yes, just like in sword of the bastard elf potions are dangerous and unreliable things that can ruin your entire day, but as a skeleton we're not as affected by them. There are pages of pointless rules for what happens if you go around eating pixies and quaffing potions. In an unrelated matter, I'd better scan in the pages for what happens when you go around eating pixies

among other things! on the plus side it's a great way to get lots of limbs or pixies in your army if you want pixies in your army

191 - complete!



We decide not to be a creep. Despite what I said earlier I didn't have time to scan in the bad ending but maybe I'll get a chance later. It includes a picture of a very dapper skeleton going his own way. he is wearing a fedora

In the meantime we turn to 265:



We regain 50 ESSENCE, putting us roughly back where we started from. We've finished the first leg of the journey and are heading into the middle section now - Bilgeton or the route around the city is the second act. We have chosen to go get the cauldron so we'll leave our skelefriends in the lurch and make a beeline for either the Tower or the crypt - 250:



ugh

We're at a fork in the road. I think i recall there's a bunch of goblins in the hills and pixies in the swamps but I'm not 100% on it. I'll dig around for the scrap I need to make this work while y'all have a think about it.

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


It's really funny tricking the pixies into buying your "elf coins" (just leaves off a tree) and then paying them back with their own money to launch a suicidal charge, but I haven't seen the goblin path, so I pick go toward the bog.
