Don't worry. If I've done my math right, we'll die in a fire long before we catch a disease.

We seriously need to stop having sex with every female dwarf we talk to.We've got a male elf waiting outside, if that's more to your taste.
Wouldn't honey be nature's honey?Nah, nature's honey kept accusing real honey of hypocricy, you see. Honey, being nature's hypocrit, didn't want to admit it and pettily called hypocricy a hypocrit whenever he brought it up and eventually started to avoid him. Now hypocricy calls themselves nature's honey more often than real honey does, so he's the real one now.
We need some practice with fighting, though...Well, yeah, that's also why we should kill the maid.
Humans are not filthy creatures. Have you even seen the inside of a human or goblin fortress? Humans are downright cleanly in comparison. It would also be hypocritical of Nerin to murder people for the crime of uncleanliness; going by his previous nickname "Snotbeard".Hypocricy is nature's honey. We shouldn't be so dismissive of it. Besides, human filth is very different from dwarven filth. You don't see a lot of dwarven maids, do you?
No. I forbid Nerin to murder anyone else. Unless there is a very good reason.Have you considered that we might have moral reasons to kill the maid? Humans are inheritly filthy creatures, it is one of the many burdens they inflicted upon themselves by being human. The maid is something they invented to ease their punishment, as they try to lower the filth. It is marginally effective, as you can barely remove fith by using other filth. It is, however, a symbolic gesture of their unwillingness to accept their rightfull uncleanness. To let the maid live would be to let the humans get away with being human. We cannot stand for such an injustice.
Weak innocents are the perfect victims though. There's a reason lions hunt zebras instead of other lions. Easy prey is good prey.I agree. The human maid might have a broom or a plume lying around, but that won't go a long way to hurting us. Let the hunt commence, I say. Well, so long as she's away from the kitchen, that is. Pans and pots might hurt, and we wouldn't want some shoddy human knife to break off in our skin.
How about just not killing innocents? If we find a thief or rapist or maybe those bandits we can beat them to death with a cranium. I still want to throw molotovs though.Innocents? These are humans we're speaking of, remember?
ps. don't kill anyoneD'aww.
We should wield what we consider a corpse, as well. Let's bash the maid's skull in with the goblin head. When asked, tell them the goblin did it.How about we find a rock, put it in a sock, and give that to the elf as a weapon.
We should give him the club. If he objects that it's made from murdered trees, we tell him to use it on enemies with that anger in ind, so they won't be able to kill any more trees.
How about we find a rock, put it in a sock, and give that to the elf as a weapon.I suppose that'd be easier. We could also use the loincloth if we took it.
I assume this town has a market?The goblins' clothes might do us some good as replacements when our current ones inevitably get ripped. The chisel might also be usefull if we find a matching hammer.

Drop:I can get behind dropping it and its contents in the local water supply, but maybe we should wait for an oportunity to throw it into someone's face?
Goblin stomach
Give the elf the sidecape and the wooden club. (Sidecape clashes with the scarf)I'm not sure if the elf will use what equals a corpse to him as a weapon. Maybe we should give him a sturdy rock item from the human markets instead. Maybe a saxophone?
Offer the humans one free item each (from the sell list) in exchange for staying the night.How about we give the father and son the buttons, then hand the rotten meat to the wife while we make a suggestive wink?
We should help free the village from the bandits. Let's teach the humans the art of Dwarven Booze Bombing! Molotovs! Made from booze. Throw molotovs at the bandits.If we do this, we should 'miss' the bandits once or twice and hit the houses. We should also remove the humans who we'd teach this, some secrets are only ment for dwarven ears.

It couldn't have been... the elf!!?Maybe he dared the one to bite the other's scrotum and things escalated between the two?
