While they are fighting, scrape 'Bear and elf proof barrel' on the side of the barrel with your shears, and wait if someone tries to take shelter in your barrel. If someone does, ambush him.

The elves are huge douchebag hippies and are trying to save the bear and they probably hate skeletons. I mean skeletons remind them of death and instead of dying they get on a cruise ship to elf Florida so it makes them uncomfortable at best. Beyond shots to the junk their next greatest weakness is puns so I think we got them covered no matter what at this point. No bones about it.

I counted (properly this time, more or less) I got 4 for pun-ching an elf in the boner 3 for waiting in the barrel until everything goes away 2 for freeing the bear (this means attacking that horseman since he's the only thing holding it back) 2 for popping out of the barrel and stabbing at whatever's closest at the most opportune moment (the applewhite/hogge wild plan)

Voting for inaction too many times ends up pretty boring, like working at a grocery store or something. Taking calculated/stupid risks is usually the only way forward in these books.

We should convince the surviving human to shut up and stop drawing the elves over here, and by the way, did have you heard about all of the benefits of being in SKU? All you have to do is abandon that flesh suit man, I only have to work 3 days a week!

It's a bit hard to tell but it looks like we're leaning towards attacking the elves, because gently caress elves. i'll leave it open another hour or so while I hunt down the pages.

I've re-counted and we're going to try to free that bear, and if that means teaming up with a bunch of elves to kill a horseman and a couple of soldiers then that's what's going to happen. Update soon.

Like most elves in these books they're also a bunch of violent thieves.

I want a bastard aelf's bastard sword!!! I'm pretty sure a band of Elves (innate animal communion hippie powers) could take down (or calm down) an enraged bear in the woods with no problem, which is why we need to subtly take down one of the elves from our barrel-y hidey hole if we're to stand a chance of getting through this undiscovered. Sorry for all the conjecture - I forget how rote the fantasy laws are in the two-fisted fantasies. But the real question is: Does a Zombie Bear poo poo in the woods?

Dinosaurmageddon posted:I want a bastard aelf's bastard sword!!! lol these elves are the same as the type in Sword of the Bastard Elf, the only communion they have with nature is that sometimes they have to take a dump in it. Anyway, moving on with a short update tonight: we're going to attack the humans/hippos and get that bear freed. I found the end of yesterday's page:  Stabbing the guard shouldn't be so hard (212):  We get the drop on him but he's far from out. In Two-Fisted Fantasies fighting is best left to warriors, which is something we're not. Although we're armed, a pair of hedge trimmers clutched by a weedy and decrepit skeleton isn't all that threatening to guardsman in armor. The game is full of dick moves like this. Anyway here is how fighting works just quickly (spoilered out for those of you who don't give a drat): Two-Fisted Fantasy rules posted:Combat takes place in rounds. In order: A few useful things to know - being made of bone we don't usually take injuries for losing a round of combat and there's usually a way to throw an unwinnable fight. If you recall Sword of the Bastard Elf the real enemy is running out of ESSENCE - if it reaches 0 it's game over. It's very possible to win a fight and still be in a tight spot. Anyway our choice here is pretty straightforward - we can fight and try to win, which is possible since we have the advantage in FISTS, although it'll probably chew up a bit of ESSENCE. Or we can throw in the towel and trust in this guy's mercy. E: Nothing's changed but i thought you might like the adventure scroll so you can see where we stand:

Our opponent will have a combat score of 8-13, meaning that we need to spend a minimum of 3 Essence and roll a max of 6 to beat his minimum roll. So to even have a good chance we'll need to put in a full 5 to have a decent chance of winning. But we're young, dumb, and full of Essence, so let's do it!

Ok, we can do this. I ran the numbers and we'll win at a pretty high cost. If the thread is still belligerent when I get up tomorrow we'll kill this fool and go on to the gross bit of the game.
