lets go see the goblin king's bulge

To the goblin infested hills. I'm pretty sure the codpiece is a key magic item. From what little I remember from my older brother's stories about playing this, it requires some lucky rolls to get, but is worth the risk. I remember he said how glad he was that he had it when he reached the DracoMummy. It also significantly improves our virility, whatever that means.

We are in no way ready for the LABYRINTH module, guys. Goblin Route means Goblin King and I'm pretty sure that's like a whole separate thing in and of itself.... right?

Looks like goblins are ahead. I'd like to remind you of something from Bastard Elf before we go that way though (211):



not that we're necessarily up against the same dude but H. Skull apparently thought the Goblin King was pretty tough.

I remember the pixie leader Black Francis being pretty dang tough too. Still, if it's not too late to vote I would prefer to avoid the goblins and eat some hallucinogenic pixies.

Never too late to vote (until it is)

I have it at 9-5 for the goblins over the pixies for now though.

Can we stock up on pixie minions real quick to chuck 'em at the goblins when their king appears? That's the only way I think we could currently even stand a chance to win a fight with the Thin White Duke on our first try without losing and then being sucked into a whole bunch of fetch quests inside the Labyrinth (repairing walls fitted to non-euclidean geometries, no less!).

We're still trying to get to the Warlock's Tower, mind you~!

Pretty sure if we give the goblin King a potion of ehem 'enhancement' he wouldn't need the padded codpiece and will give it to us without a fight.

But we could own that codpiece AND drink that enchantment! No witch can resist this level of cod.

Saint Isaias Boner

hi how are you

The codpiece is in the item deck so you can get it, theoretically.

Anyway sorry for the late update, I thought it'd be worth chasing down all the cards for the next page for this update instead of for the next one.

250, complete:



We're heading for the hills where the goblins are.

Turning to 32:



So here we see a pile of dead demons and smashed skeles. The skeletons are beyond our power but we could raise or harvest the demons.

There's a cacodemon:
or
A howler:
or
And two Dust Devils:
or
or

You might notice they have the card type Demon : that means raising them costs half of whatever it would usually cost to raise a creature of that ESPRIT. Harvesting them costs the full usual amount. Bear in mind that if we get rid of all our "handy" arms we won't be able to carry stuff or use weapons, and if we swap both the torso and the default arm we won't be decrepit any more.

So what do we do with all these corpses, if anything? and

What's our next move?

Here's the adventure scroll:

If we harvest everything we automatically win the first round and deal 5 damage. Kick their nerdy faces in with the Dust Digits as legs hands and you're suddenly one-shotting everything as an eye-laser-shooting knuckle-duster-devil.

Not quite. We still have to roll over their base Espirit score, we only stop our opponents from rolling any d6s for having Hands. And if we win, we don't deal five damage, we just make a free attack using a bonus 5 Espirit.


Still though, that's a pretty sweet deal.

I vote to harvest the Cacodemon and the Howler, and raise the Dust Devils. Those limbs don't have hands and aren't better than our current legs by enough to warrant a switch.

e: on second thought raise the Howler too, a mage will be helpful
