Fair enough, KWhit. I certainly didn't want to do anything that damaged the spirit of the rules. It was more looking to tie back to his "I'll post after the deadline" comment from last night, but I didn't consider him gaining info from other threads to factor into the answer.

EagleFan · 04-22-2010, 02:21 PM

I'll let you know after the game.

Actually, nothing that I read would have factored into my response but I will give it after the game.

Thoughts beyond that? Rapier is either Hoops or I (and I'm guessing Hoops). The two unidentified items are tempting since our buddy can read the magic (we could buy both). Hoops could use the +1 dagger. Everything else is just a bit out of reach.

If you're up for gambling, I would say:
4 potions of health
the 2 +1 daggers
the unidentified ring

This plan works for me - ring to J23, potions split among us with extra to PB. Daggers to me.

J23 should heal and identify ring prior to next room.

I think that covers the stuff between now and deadline, unless anyone has strong feelings in another direction?

J23 · 04-22-2010, 07:54 PM

That looks fine to me.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 08:25 PM

Alright, I'll send it in to KWhit and copy you guys.

KWhit · 04-22-2010, 10:06 PM

Room 12:

You enter a small utility room - bare cinderblock walls, a table in the center. On the table has been built a makeshift rack - as in the torture device. And strapped to it is a grey bearded elf.

Above the elf stands a tall man wearing an executioner's hood.

They both turn to look at you when you enter, surprised to see you.

The elf's eyes light up. "Help me!" he says.

The executioner says, "What? I thought the DJ was diverting you guys through corridor B. Ah, well. Go on through if you must. Don't mind this coward!"

"I'm not a coward! I just ran away from a completely unwinnable combat in the last Crawl! That makes sense actually. I was looking out for the DJ's investment in me."

"Yeah, right! Seriously, guys. Good luck in the Crawl. I'll be done with this guy soon."

The elf pleads with you. "Please help me! Get me out of this mess and I can help you win. I know where all the secret passages are! And which direction is fastest!"

Your choices:

Attack the Executioner
Slit the Elf's throat
Pass on through the room

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:10 PM

As for the Ring of Protection, I would say (and sorry Hoops), it should probably be me or J23. J23 because he has a lower number of hit points or me because I stand in front of you guys.

Evil, evil, evil me says slit the guy's throat. I don't see much of a reward in that though, beyond just being evil.

If we want to attack the Executioner, I'm up for it. Reward there is whatever the elf knows.

I don't love bypassing everything though. I guess I lean fighting the Executioner.

hoopsguy · 04-22-2010, 10:11 PM

Slit the elf's throat = evil, might get Executioner attacking us as well. Small chance that we get a reward from Executioner or DJ.

Attack Executioner = get secret passages with a win. If the Wang's get this one it is pretty obvious they will make this pick.

Pass on through = focus on winning race.

I don't think we can, in good consciousness, attack the executioner. If there was an option to slaughter them both then maybe but that isn't spelled out for us. So we can take the speedy route or the higher risk/reward.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:12 PM

Plus the XP of kicking the Executioner's ass might be nice.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:13 PM

Slit his throat then, I'm not a big fan of just walking through.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:14 PM

Can we attack Tim Tebow? I'm sick of hearing him talk.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:14 PM

I was also wondering if this Elf was the one we fought earlier.

PurdueBrad · 04-22-2010, 10:59 PM

I'm out for the night but feel free to submit whatever you guys want. I'm up for anything.

Posers!!!!

J23 · 04-22-2010, 11:23 PM

Can't we kill the executioner, find out the info, and then kill the elf?

Poli · 04-22-2010, 11:55 PM

Hoops!

If that is an option, then that is the best possible plan. I was working under the assumption that we only have the options provided by KWhit.

Poli · 04-23-2010, 12:10 AM

Don't be a sissy. Evil does what evil wants. If taking out the executioner helps, then toss that conscience or whatever you humans call it aside and set it on fire while you are at it.

hoopsguy · 04-23-2010, 12:16 AM

No, my point was that evil would not take the choice of helping the elf.

I know that EagleFan lacks reading comprehension ... I just did not realize that the condition was contagious.

The sadly unintentional comedy of this statement. You may want to read my post again. Try it slowly this time...

Poli · 04-23-2010, 07:52 AM

You're not helping the elf...you're helping yourselves, fool. Of course you can backstab that foolish elf later...but use the pitiful thing to your benefit while you can. Besides you're jacking up the Crawl while you're at it, and we all know that has to just be plain evil.

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2010, 09:12 AM

If the elf is being killed for "justice", wouldn't upsetting that be the evil thing to do? We then screw over the DJ, the executioner, and the balance of the game to get cheat info from the Elf. Besides, maybe we can kill the little bastard afterwards.

hoopsguy · 04-23-2010, 11:21 AM

I'm thinking killing someone helpless is about the most evil thing we can do. But I'll go with the will of the group on this one - if we can parlay a "kill them all" and get needed info that would be really fabulous.

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2010, 11:40 AM

I'm gladly up for killing the helpless as well. I think the DJ may reward us.

J23 · 04-23-2010, 11:49 AM

Ok, so we're killing the executioner to find out the info, and have every intention of killing the elf after finding out said info, correct?

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2010, 11:59 AM

I just sent in a last minute order of: Kill the executioner IF we can get the info from the elf and then kill him.

If we can't do that, then I said we'll just kill the elf.

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2010, 12:00 PM

Where do we want the ring of protection to go? And Hoops, did you get the ring of strength back?

J23 · 04-23-2010, 12:01 PM

Ring of Strength back to Hoops
Ring of Protection to PB

PurdueBrad · 04-23-2010, 12:10 PM

I'm hoping this goes well!

KWhit · 04-23-2010, 12:12 PM

You assume that you will be able to kill the elf when you choose to do so.

So you attack the executioner!

KWhit · 04-23-2010, 12:13 PM

"HELP!" The executioner cries.

Uh oh.

EagleFan · 04-23-2010, 12:15 PM
