The furthest eyes looked like they migh belong to a non-wolf at first, but it seems like there's a wolveen silhouete present.

I can think of four things that might be going on:

1. It's just a wolf pack. I don't think we'd be able to take them normally, and it might be better to err on the side of caution in respects to both group and animal testing the gauntlet. It's pretty hard to reason with wolves without meat on hand, though.

2. These wolves belong to an elven patroll unit. If our elf's view of his military is at all in touch with reality, one of them might just have decided to chew first and then ask questions. Fighting the wolves normally could lead to arrow-in-head type of problems, and fighting him the gauntlet could leave him to bail, reporting back to base and ruining any diplomatic posibility between us and the elves.

3. One of the humans tracked us down. He might accept a surrender, but I don't fancy going to human prison. I hear it's not very flammable. Here, we face the same combat problems as with the elf, except our oponent will likely be wearing armor. Using the gauntlet will bring no diplomatic dificulties with the elf, but we have to think of how effective it'll be if we get stabbed in the chest.

4. The other eyes reveal themselves to be crundles. I could feel my Crundle Sense at any moment now.

We should set their cart on fire.

But what about the booze in the cart?

Edit: If we do get a surgery, we could give them an incentive to keep us healthy and unrobbed. We could mention that, by the way, we know of a big hazard in the area* that we'll them about after the surgery. That way it'll be risky for them not keep their part of the bargain.

*Crazy, murderous, village burning bandits, they've seen the smoke and we can advise them to turn around. This'll prevent them from hearing another side of the story anytime soon.

You'd think that these men would know better then to both sleep at the same time, considering they're conmen. Killing the gobbo also didn't heal us that much; we probably need to kill a lot more humans to restore our ribs to a servicable state. That would be perfectly fine if these broken ribs didn't hamper our ability to fight. We'll probably end up more wounded if we go on a masacre.

Happy new year, Pokez!

_{And you'd better believe that intrest remains.}

On the contrary. Look up obsidian scapels.

I suppose we should ask the elf about elven healthcare to make sure they have those.

Edit: We may want to make sure we're traveling against the wind for a while, in case the fire starts to spread.

Oh. I thought both the humans and dwarves were the ones killing elves. Oops.

Edit: You've got a pretty nice fire effect going on there, by the way.

Thanks man , I didn't use any effects or brushes though...

I'm talking about the animation, where the air is being sucked past Nerin, as if he's a flag.

Would you mind if I borrow one of those pictures of Gili, by the way? I still don't have an avatar.

Edit: Are we in peasantville now?

What can we gain from setting fire on a dirt-poor civilian settlement? The bandits already have all the easily movable valuables.

If that's true, why are they sticking around?
