Looks like you have not correct and correct version of page 17 up in the update post, with no page 166.

You could grab a random limb and tell him to "fetch"... But the dog dude is bluffing. If he knew smite, he would have smitten you instead of threatening to smite you. It's like the say in the monstary, "Those who can, smite; those who can't, make wine, drink wine, and pass out under the altar."

I saw half a copy of a similar looking cyoa dated from back in the 70s, I suspect it was one of the 'first adventures' he spoke about writing when he was in school. That would make sense because it was full of the most badly written wretchedly sexualized horror I've ever seen, like a CYOA fatal. God knows why he wanted to publish it, misplaced pride I guess.

He was already pretty old in the 70s. If you have a copy from that era I know a couple of people who'd fight you for it. spacejew posted:Command him to sit, and tease with with a delicious bone.

That was years ago, literally half of the book in a charity thrift shop bargain bin. No way was I paying even 50c for something back then.

Add 17 to the current reference number. Should be 166 + 17 = 183. In the rules, which I don't think were scanned, we can add 17 and see if it's time for our mandated break time. If the reference makes sense, we get to call in one of our rep buddies to do the job for us. I don't know if we want to use it here, though, because they usually are pretty weird encounters in their own rights.

poisonpill posted:Add 17 to the current reference number. Should be 166 + 17 = 183. Yup, that's a thing, but only if you're in the SWU (which we are). That should probably have been in the section of the rules about SWU membership but instead it's on page 18 under "Break and Meal Time Arrangements". Modus Pwnens posted:I forget, does our Deadwood Staff count as a stick for this check? Yep - and also you could throw a femur or a humerus to get the same effect.

I just wish I got to the abandoned dumpster full of these books before he did - we both got the tip off but he got there first. Now I'm eating shredded cardboard and sleeping on the floor while he's living large on second-hand book sale money.

It looks like something along the lines of "make the Kobold fetch" is ahead and/or the most entertaining option : do we want to throw that staff or an arm/leg?

Throw our own arm, we've got the undead stick so we can use that to take control of our arm and strangle him with it. I don't see any arm in trying anyhow.

Yesterday's page complete: We'll Nyaa posted:Throw him a bone I assume we're chucking our decrepit old arm. Being one-armed means we're now one-fisted. Turning to 349:  What do we do? I think we can take him even with our minimal energy, but just like with most battles in this book it's possible to admit defeat or just not fight. Then again, he did just vaporise our arm. If we fight we'll get to raise or harvest the dude as usual. Either way we need to decide what to do next. Deeper into the mines? back to the surface to encounter the goblin village? some other thing? so, 1. do we fight or wuss out? and 2. what should we do post battle? Here's the adventure scroll:

I'm of the opinion that we should fight and take his arm as replacement. Let's investigate down after.

Who What Now posted:Are we now no longer part of the SWU do to not having the proper number of limbs? that would be pretty ableist of the SWU, even by 80s standards nah it's a prohibition on making yourself into an undead human centipede, you can have less than the normal number of limbs and still be in good standing

Fight. I'd need to see the cards to know if we should raise a skeldogmage or get a skeledogmagearm should we win. After that, we should either delve too deep into the mine (what kind of mine is it, anyway?) or leave and continue on the cauldron quest, though at this point, I'm of a mind that the witch can get it herself. Skeletons going their own way.

My biggest concern is that even without mana, I think he still gets a pretty sizable racial bonus against us. If we can call for Union Reinforcements, then do that then fight him. If we can't call for help, we should leave.

Just let him leave already, strike is over. We have little enough essence as it is. When the on-site Head Blugeon straight up bashes his bits into bobs we can enquire about using the health plan to get another arm
