Alright then. So, if he's 25% troll, does that mean he has reduced mental capacities? That could be...useful.

I don't think that's something we should rely on though, genetics only goes so far, particularly when so diluted.

Agreed. Still, if he's just a bodyguard, the elves probably didn't focus too much on making sure he had much magic--especially since his trollish strength and toughness would compensate 90% of the time.

We really need to practice with the magic of that spear, so that we don't keep turning our stuff to sand. (While we do so we should leave our possessions behind.)

+1, ideally without turning stuff to sand in the process. Speaking of which, in the future remove all items from pockets and all important clothing from body before practicing with the spear.

Have Gwen kill an elf or two from oak worshiped, urge caution however, the last time she went soul-searching (hehehe) she almost got killed by a vampire.

Sure.


We should also congratulate Cherlyn, praise her for her usefulness.

Certainly.

Agreeing with TCM here.

Glad to see that our concern for our subjects is paying off.

Agreed.

If we're going to be attacked it will likely be in the coming months when food grows scarce, it's not likely we would be attacked for any other reason (except perhaps slavery i suppose), so i propose that we set up a watch, though we should take care that any watchmen don't grow too cold.
As a reward, perhaps we could give a little food to anyone who signs up for the duty.

Sounds good.

Btw, Xantalos, when the invasion starts, we'll hide you under a pink umbrella and reveal you only at the dramatic climax of the story.

Until then, enjoy your tea party with Mr. Stiffly and Mr. Flopsy.

Well, the insects' super strenght is related to their little, little size. You see, muscle power is proportionnal to the section area of aid muscle, while weight is proportionnal to the volume. So if you double the size (lenght and height), the muscle power is fourfold, while weight is eightfold, effectively cutting muscle effectiveness (own weight lifted) by two.

Beat me to it, shame my typing of the explanation went to waste. Also, don't forget that beetles can't live at huge sizes. They'd need to be completely redesigned to support more weight on their legs and breathe with a sort of respiratory system.

"How about we make it a little more interesting," you murmur. "The main event of the feast: a contest, my strongest champions against yours."

Champions. Plural.

Which means they should train together at some point...

Anyways, I suggest creating a firebeetle similar to the little wasp things (firewasps, I think?) but bigger and flightless. And given the required phlebotinum to survive. Its "nectar" should be different than the wasps' nectar, perhaps a weapon, but the main use is as a beast of burden. And war animal. Imagine a beetle, 15 feet long and tall as a man, spewing its flaming nectar everywhere...

Well. This is where it gets tough. They've got six guards, plus everyone inside. I may have the might of my God behind me, but I'm a pacifist. Hence, I'm going to take a bit of a...less conventional method of defeating them.

Go towards the front gate and greet the six men there. No way they can have a kill-on-sight policy, right?

Uummm, I don't, but you have a rock arm, and a blown off hand, you seem decently easier to kill, and you were on my floor

Ah.
Obsdidian arm, my dear. As in, pretty much the sharpest stuff before modern times. Scalpel-sharp. And whaddya know, I've got some jagged bits at the end where I had a hand...

"Yeah, at least yours dosen't end in a faucet of blood."

"That is a plus, yeah."

If you're feeling ambitious, you could make 100 videos, one for each result, and set up something to play a random video.
