Sorry, they don't come in kobold size.

I can just get twelve other kobolds to help.

[Splint]

1500 gold coins of masterful quality.

Mugs.... Don't even get me started on mugs.

Having let my knowledge of horrble deadly poisons out, how many of you would eat cookies if I made them? Etc.......

I'd eat them. After all, just because you work out how to build an atom bomb doesn't mean you're evil. And frankly, you don't seem the type of person to poison cookies to laugh at the people who eat them and die... Talking about killing is one thing. Actually doing it is another.

Speaking of mental health, I have a relatively minor concern that occurred to me recently:

Medications.  I have ADHD (Inattentive), and it's relatively severe.  I won't go into the details, as it's a fairly common condition.  Anyway, I basically require medication in order to function as a productive member of society.  This presents a problem, as I doubt things like Concerta or Focalin are commonplace in DF.  While I suppose alternatives are available, I don't know enough about chemistry/biology/pharmacology to know what they would be.  Can anyone suggest a way that I might be able to operate at normal levels, using what's available in DF?

I have no idea... I hadn't even thought about that... I've got the same problem. lol   ADHD. It isn't that bad, though, although it used to be severe. I just learned to control it over time (for the most part).

I exhibit many of the sympthoms of asperger syndrome, but am not diagnosed. I have never been a normal child, and my older sister said I used to sit in corners and talk to myself as a toddler. She literally beat me into being social. Older sisters are awesome.

As for ADHD medications, most are norepinepherine analogs, agonists, or reuptake inhibitors. Most also effect dopamine levels, and are based on amphetamine structure compounds.

You might experience some benefit from certain addictive drugs, but the dangers of addiction and withdrawl are high.

I am cheating by using google, but it looks like cocaine might be effective, being a triple uptake inhibitor. (Seretonin, dopamine, norepinepherine) refined cocaine would be stupid, but orally chewed coca leaf might be an effective, if highly addictive solution to your problem.

Most of the psychoactives I know of are acetylcholine agonists/inhibitors, not norepinepherine.

1.Freeble's hat
2.Silver right boot
3.A elves heart, literally, cut it out.
4.Five gold bars and a Metalworker's forge to make counter-fit gold coins.

You can't trade us mugs. You live in our fortress, stockpiling our possessions in your really awesome living space, the contents of which belong to us. When you successfully steal something from somebody else and bring it back, then we'll talk about giving you something more than a minor extension to your palace and extra food and drink access in return.

That being said, letting the kobolds operate some of the siege defense weaponry seems perfectly reasonable whilst we're under attack and undermanned, as long as we keep things simple enough they don't manage to hurt themselves.

52 kobolds all at once grabbing Misc Weapons and charging the exit, I think we could escape with some form of wealth.

But yeah, that would still kill........23 of us? Not worth it.


But dont make it simple, If im alive I can keep them from killing themselves. THATS A HAMMER, NOT A SANDWICH!

Maybe I cant.....

Don't forget willie wonka's golden ticket.


As for Splint:  your sympthoms are consistent with mild to moderate schizophrenia. You might benefit from oral lithium pills, which have been shown to be effective at controlling aural hallucenations and emotional disturbances associated with the disorder.

Consult a neurologist for a definitive diagnosis. Schizophrenia causes/is cause by (doctors don't know for sure) structural abnormalities in the brain that show up immediately under fMRI.

If you really are experiencing aural hallucenations and intense impulses, consider making an appointment through your family doctor. He can direct you to a suitable specialist.

Lovely. There are times I just atribbute them to all the hits to the head I've taken. Quite few now that I think of it. that rock, friends smashing me into dirt playing football, falling over a railing when I was little... Bounced off a metal planter, a radiator, and a hardwood floor on that one... And yet I only got minor bruises from that. Tiny rock? FUCK YOU! STICHES!

Anyway, I would imagine 4 kobolds to load, two to fire a ballista. Simple enough, and barring accidents with the strings, they'd probably make fine siege operators, since they seem to lack a self preservation instinct based on thier tenacity.

Unfortunately, kobolds are generally untrustworthy cowards.

Splint:  If it's a choice between cocaine and ADHD, I'd stick with the ADHD.  Addiction is something I want to avoid.

Actually, we can lift anything as well as you single-handily, just get alot slower.





Who likes my new sig? Its directed at you Wierd.


@Giz

WERE LIKE THAT CAUSE YOU KILL US!

[Splint]

What the hell does cocaine have to do with anything?

[KodKod]

Don't do drugs, kids. They turn you into supervillains.

Supervillains like Snowflame.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

His superpower is cocaine.

That was me. It was the only natural norepinepherine uptake inhibitor I could find.

Gizogen just pointed to the wrong psychopath, that's all.


Corai:

If the kobolds don't want to be adorably stuffed with pretty glass eyes, and dressed in silly costumes, they can stay in their little kobold cave, and not try sneaking in the back door. It's really that simple.

........How are we suppose to eat after being pushed in these caves by you and those vile elves?
