I'm voting for riddles now because it's funnier and may get what we want out of talking anyway. Plus it may show off we were made by the warlock and not some podunk guy like this

Ohhhh, man, wow what a hit of nostalgia! I swear I must have had this book when I was a kid, or maybe my buddy Brad had it, because those illustrations are super familiar to me. The only thing I really remember though was this one surprise ending. I don't think it was a winning ending but it had an awesome picture. Basically, I'm sure this is a spoiler even if it's only one ending we probably won't get, but: You wind up getting "resurrected" by some rear end in a top hat goody-two-shoes priest. It only worked if you still had your original skull, he does his mojo on the skull, and then you get "raised' and become a human with flesh on and everything and that's game over. But the best part: you're a woman! Maybe that's no big deal now, but I was just a kid and it was like a huge revelation to me and Brad. Woaaah. And there was one more detail, and this is seriously a super-spoiler so only read this if you really don't care: you're a princess!

RandomPauI posted:Please tell me there's a sequel where we're a necromancer/Disney style princess I don't want to give too much away. i'll find that picture though even if we don't get to that ending (I think you have to do a whole Snow White thing with the dwarves, it was in the other direction from the start). Anyway, update's coming very soon, wrestling with the scanner now.

Let's do this thing: I forgot to update the adventure sheet so here's that. We've regained some essence from eating the rat:  Last time we were going to go chat with the necromancer. I found the bottom part of the page:  We're decepit, what with the barrel and rotting skull and all. That comes in handy here. We turn to 115:  We'll go with the riddle because all wizards have to do that, which is a thing we know somehow. Turning to 291:  There's a simple fight here. I took care of it. Most of the time our followers aren't useful in fights - they're over really fast anyway (a round represents ten seconds or so). Also they don't necessarily like us that much or want to fight. Unless the text is going on about them it's a fair bet they're not going to help. I didn't quite go all out but nearly did. I used 6 ESSENCE a round for a total of 18. We took this guy out but it nearly wiped us out - and it could have been a lot worse. Anyway time to figure out what's next. Don't sweat the ESSENCE - there are a few chances to recover nearby. What do we do with the necromancer's corpse (raise it or rip a bit off)? What's our next move? current adventure scroll:

Let's union the place up. Decapitate the dude and use his head to make a crude steam whistle from the campfire, his canteen, and a spot of magic. Blow the whistle and inform the crew that as it is past dusk they are off for the day, then give them overtime pay from our purse. Rest until morning.

The foul monsters name is Craig. But, idiot necromancer boy here only remembered the wizard end of this, he didn't fill form c-19 so he could do this with a union skeleton! This constitutes as a Collective Bargaining Agreement! So,Mojo Threepwood posted:Let's union the place up.

So we screw on the necromancer head, despite whatever other powers it has the enslaved skeletons will now vote for us as a competent foreman who's looking after their interests, we enlist them in the union and use their collective voting power to take over the bilgetown segment. I'm pretty sure the necromancer head either made raising the dead easier or allowed you to command other undead as followers. Outrail fucked around with this message at 06:44 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Answer to the riddle: Rotten John's I mean we can't really answer that on the path we've been along - we could if we happend this way after going to Bilgeton Rotten John runs a vegetable stall in the market, it has 2 potatoes (potatoes have eyes) 2 ears of corn A thousand heads of broccoli and cauliflower, variously One foot is the width of a market pitch there Two arms are 2 spears of asparagus The spine is is ledger book for sales (some print editions had this as a spine gourd) The two sides are of the coins he takes (heads and tails) And the belly is Rotten John himself, gut all swollen and gassy from his leafy diet - hence also the stench There is a red herring in the market too, a poet bookseller reciting loudly in one corner of the market square - one foot per line in a poetic sense, so each poem takes reams of paper making it one book per poem (spine), two sides to every story, one of the people reading his poems finds them amusing and is described as having 'a deep belly laugh', a thousand heads because he draws in the punters, a foul stench because our protagonist thinks his poetry 'Stinks', he has two coats of arms awarded to him by nobility and responds with 'aye aye' to his customers from his days as a young man sailing the oceans in search of stories. But - and it's hidden very subtly - he "wears only one gold earring in his left earlobe, having lost the other in a fight". Now, you could read that as ring, lobe, or ear, so it's a bit of a dick move. But I mean the entry for the market stalls (there are like seven or so) runs several drat pages and it's only useful for this one riddle that's admittedly hard to get to once you've already hit Bilgeton, so most readers just skim over it anyway.

Dinosaurmageddon posted:Riddle Answer (if we're cheating, obviously): Ah yes, the one-legged blacksmith is there too, with a thousand nails, obviously the arms are the twin swords he's crafting (nice weapon with good bonuses if you can get it), a couple more things I can't remember off the top of my head, but the catch on that one is bellow/belly and the tuneful ringing of his and his apprentice's hammer could be construed as two 'ears' for the two notes they sound, but it's a bit of a stretch even by this book's standards simplefish fucked around with this message at 07:50 on Jun 2, 2016 |

Raise him, maybe if we control him we will gain the following of his other skeletons for killing their jerk boss and his unfair labor practices. At least they should be greatful for it, and we get one follower minimum, and turn the tables on the jerk boss, so he has to work for us.

Spoilered because it's a spoiler: that's what makes the princess ending possible - you are a princess, sort of.

Oh totally not taking it out on him afterwards, I'm sure he will be a cool bro once he is part of our skeleton army! But it still seems fitting, no? And gaining the favor of the other skeletons he was over working seems like a good plan!
