Take back the dagger before you go in the barrel. It's better then nothing

They wont give it back. Just pocket the chisel or whatever you used to engrave the face. It may come in handy and you are a kobold who has been Armok knows how long without pocketing something, we need to do this.

I believe we have been using this...

You start to get tired and notice a nice sharp rock at your feet! You hide it in your bag.

I believe it to be 'significant', or at least a sop to having lost our other weapon.  I'm happy rolling with it.  As I am with the barrel-hiding. So long as there isn't too much rolling, involved.

Carve cats into the inside of the barrel

Carve cats into the inside of the barrel

No one may ever see them. But the important thing is, that YOU know they are there!

Hop into the barrel.

[Dunamisdeos]

Pretend to hop into barrel while actually hopping BEHIND the barrel using tricks of perspective.

[Gigabytebob]

hop in the barrel and use the sharp rock to cut a peeky hole in it

[RAM]

hop in the barrel and use the sharp rock to cut a peeky hole in it

I wanna, but -1 because this is a stealth mission and a barrel with a hole in it is somethong that a dorf would notice.

Also, what if the means of infiltration bears similarity to the escape from Mirkwood in The Hobbit? Don't want too many unnecessary holes...

We seem to trust and/or don't want to fight GBM, at least at this particular stage of the plan we have found ourselves in the midst of. Look for opportunities to improvise/go off piste and be ready to promptly deal with any crisis unforseen by our nominal allies, but right now I'm happy to be railroaded (or, indeed, minecarted).

But, once in the barrel, gently test the base, by flexing it against our feet. It might be useful to know if we can pop ourselves out, even if the top gets jammed down. I'd prefer an intact barrel that we can't easily escape to a leaky barrel that we can't escape, and we don't want to make our thoughts too obvious...

+1 to good strategy

Hey! You're going to risk your life! It must be for something!
Demand the artifact bronze dagger, Tributescar, as a reward when fortress will be captured.

PS:
New inscriptions! New inscriptions!
A minute of criptography:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Previous cryptography post



On trunk:
∑π
HI

On pedestal front:
"~>Гμ~≡"
"  U  Y"

I think it can be only "PLUMPY". So we have 3 more letters.
And if ~ can be carved as italic N, then the door leading to the garden really has an inscription "HIPPIES". Well, there they are.

On pedestal right:
>=>
LOL

It's definitely "PLUMPY" in previous inscription.



Above.. anteater man?
⊟√□Φ∑
DEATH

Below him
Г╪ □>> (new symbol ╪? maybe $?)
U  ALL

??=Г ?Φ Г╪ (looks like so)
  OU  T U

Not really helpful.



These inscriptions are much better.

the one mentioned in the text: ("We are here.") - at the top on the right side
(i will continue use my transliteration system for now)

#□α⊟√∆ (Γ$)
GARDEN (US)

at the top on the left side
=>⊟ <πΦ≡ $∑○∆¶$
OLD CITY SHANKS

at the left side
∆√+ <πΦ≡ $∑○∆¶$
NEW CITY SHANKS

+ is definitely W! and inscription above the other door is FORWARD BARRAKS! and Ω is F!
So we lack symbols for J, Q, V, X and Z.

at bottom
-○>Φ$
 ALTS (vaults? - for V?)

<.=.$.√
C.O.S.E

and strange symbol ╪ again

current alphabet:
(third line - alternative writings, last - possible)
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
○◊<⊟√Ω#∑π ¶>μ∆=~ α$ΦГ + ≡
□              N  <
                     -

Tapk, you are an amazing person.

[Madman198237]

That is too much effort for too little gain.

YOU CAN'T JUST POST THAT!

Now we may or may not get inscriptions with interesting messages in them, since we can translate them (Read: YOU can translate them)
