Random Axis posted:It says in the intro that skeletons like wine! We should grab some in case we get the chance to schmooze. I think there's a spell or something called "bone dry," but I'm not sure how early we can get it. Ten-Foot Prole is definitely something we're gonna wanna take because it unlocks a few fun things just like in all the other books. Besides the Prole I don't have an opinion on items to start, but I think we should head to Bilgeton since we run into one of the most useless and hilarious characters there. Asgwrn the Bone Buyer

Got 4 for the rat, 4 for the sticks and less for everything else. I rolled a dice to pick between rat and sticks and we get the rat. It hardly matters, they're both good. We also get the shears. Most votes are for heading towards Bilgeton, which as far as decisions go could be a lot worse. I'll post the next update tonight based on this info.

Is there a skill system? Do you have Herbalism (Knowledge of 80's fast food ad campaigns), a shear proficiency?

Oooh poo poo I played this one. Don't forget to go back inside and drink your milk! The calcium buff lasts a long time and saves your rear end many times. It's worth missing the initial action for a turn.

If we keep the barrel instead of equipping a rib cage doesn't it slowly fill up with wine the more we drink till we can eventually sell it as a cask? I never owned this game and only played it through once with a buddy of mine and seem to remember him saying something about it.

I think if we fill it up and pull the spigot to 'piss' wine the right village we get worshipped as a god, but I might be thinking of a different book.

Sorry for the delay, the "authorities" are hassling me for information about my "tax arrangements" and won't just take my word for it, so I've had to spend all night looking for "evidence that I have paid any tax at all on income for the past seven years". Anyway it's lucky I did that because I found the scrap of paper I was looking nestled among the mountain of pizza boxes that occupies the southern half of my man cave. Here's the last entry, complete at last:  We chose to go to Bilgeton (44), but first here are the items we picked:  and  The garden shears were a good choice. They're a weapon so it means we don't get an ESPRIT penalty in combat. It's not a good weapon so it doesn't give us a bonus. That bit about transplants will come in handy later, I think. The rat is a loyal pet and a good snack. It has mostly situational value and smells atrocious. Luckily skeletons don't have the kinds of olfactory senses that get upset by things like rotting rats. On to Bilgeton, where we find some trouble on the road (44):  Again, sorry, this book is really flaky. I'll go looking for the entry, you guys help me out again if you remember what happens here. It'll save time. Here's the adventure sheet:  Just so you know I will keep the second entry updated like I usually do, if you miss anything and want to catch up just check there. There Bias Two posted:Fun fact: This is actually a left over localization error from the source line of Asian adventure novels, Two Foot Journey I don't know how it got missed but it's definitely a "ten-foot prole" in this one. It could be a joke based on us playing a skeleton worker, or it could be a localisation error, or it could be a rare example of Mr Skull bending in the face of hostility from a pressure group. In this case the local Polish community of Skullthucke-upon-Woad set fire to his house a bunch of times over the insulting and stereotyped "Ten-Foot Polack" character in Sword of the Bastard Elf.

If this is the bend I'm thinking of (never went straight to the Capitol before), then one of those dudes is a necromancer and we can try to blend into his summoned thralls for a laugh. I might be wrong about the section we're in, though. Creep toward the men

Poland Spring posted:poo poo this is that loving encounter with the reverse centaurs isn't it. gently caress those guys You can actually push them over really easy if you have the the "Several Hands of Hugeness." I don't think you can encounter them this soon since there's no way to have that many limbs so early in the game. My vote is to sneak up on the men. Nothing says stealth like the reanimated rattling bones of the deceased contained with in a big hollow barrel to amplify the sound!

Gridlocked posted:I feel like an idiot for not realizing that Skull and SIB are the same guy just with an account name change. I'm just a humble collector of Mr. Skull's work! You guys have a better memory than me, it's one of a few possible 'taur encounters in the book. Compared to most of Skull's books it's very easy to get your poo poo pushed in but luckily we're the kind of skeleton that doesn't worry about that sort of thing. So far we have 2 for going straight in (counting insulting their manhood as part of this stategy) 1 for creeping up on them 2 for shuffling past/attempting to blend in/mind your own business 1 for hiding in a barrel (we can do this because we are partially a barrel)

So in you playthrough, if one of these choices is hypothetically an insta-death, how far can we rewind? Or will you just do the second most popular choice? (Also I'm pretty sure there are at least two votes for creeping up on fools)

I'm pretty bad with the counting and i've gotten by so far because no one is checking, thanks for ruining that for me. Ok so vote stands at 2 creeping up, 2 going straight in, 2 shuffling past or trying not to get involved and 1 for hiding in the barrel until everything goes away. If the insta-death is fun I show it because it hardly gets in the way of things, I will steer us clear of anything that might kill us in ten choices time because that's not all that entertaining.
