I know the [Religious Icon] and [Vat of Grease] both open up some options fairly early on, but that's about all I can remember at this point.

Maybe go with the [Fortified Milk Jug]? Always useful- especially since we're Decrepit!

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?

Loot both hippandros, but then loot only one of the guards. Also, replace our original body parts. Resurrect the last guard as a skeleton.

The bonus from having a pair of hippandro legs is pretty good, and having actual armor is nice as well.

Agreed:

Aggie's crypt is somewhere to the south of the tower, a few days' walk away, and going directly there will mean ditching your union droogs and bypassing bilgeton altogether. I should have posted the map that came with this but it's been systematically ripped out of every copy of the book in existence for reasons I don't fathom.

To be fair, skeletons have no need for maps.

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?

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~!

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.
