The return of this thread has resulted in two avatars related to it. Neat. (Translation: This)

[Armok]

Darkerdark, how do you keep one-upping yourself? This is amazing and awesome in a million ways I can't even say it transcends words!

IDEA on high speed barges; Lets tie two barrels together, then tie the frothing elf on the backside and stick a stick into it's bran until it starts flailing violently enough to work like an engine and at high velocity propel a few elves standing on top of the barrels and carrying oars to the barge!

[Aklyon]

Armok has a good idea.
But how do you get to an elven brain with a stick?

[NewsMuffin]

Armok has a good idea.

D:
But seriously, that idea is pretty cool.
Maybe we could use the frog titan to propel us. I mean, he is a frog. We just have to make him kick.

You mean kick us all to death? (Translation: Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis.)

I knew someone would do that.

But seriously, that idea is pretty cool.

Probably.
(Translation: Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii- COUGH COUGH)

[Rumrusher]

okay screw My old plan. remember that tongue the titan had well we just aim his cage at the barge and fire it by heating up a hot stick and poking it(may or may not lead to shooting it's fire breathe out which will worn out the wooden cage and grab a couple of elves mostly 2 of different gender and hoop back down his hole with several of the booze).
(better pull out that elf to Common translation "Siiiiiiiiiiiiihhhhhhttttt .. Siithhhh uhh Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis")

For reference, keep in mind there is a healthy number of empty barrels and other materials to duplicate/improve the design:

12 empty barrels (8 used in building the barge)
9 spindles of rope reed rope
7 bundles of wood blessed by the druids (1 used in building the barge)

Even if enough get reserved to make another barge later ('cause, you know, anything we use now might get smashed up), there are still 4 barrels and plenty of the rest.  I find myself most concerned about the means of locomotion.  Laceci-Ireci the elf may already be dead.  Of course, his corpse might still be twitching . . .

Are any of the "assorted herbs" stimulants, for crying out loud?

Double post, whatever.

Yeah, but nothing yet related to the very thing you quoted:

Drug-induced cry.  Rallying cry.  This thread knows no difference.

I was trying to brush my teeth.  It's very hard to brush your teeth when laughing.  I blame you!

Nonononono. Frog Titan stays in Frog Titan Cage. No messing with the Frog Titan Cage. Until we let the dwarves move it to the Depot (and we all know how that always turns out)

[Rexfelum]

Ah ha!

Oh goodness, I'm thinking about this stuff way too much.  But I may have an idea that could solve the locomotion problem.  All we have to do is roll up our sleeves and fudge a little biochemistry.

IDEA on high speed barges; Lets tie two barrels together, then tie the frothing elf on the backside and stick a stick into it's bran until it starts flailing violently enough to work like an engine and at high velocity propel a few elves standing on top of the barrels and carrying oars to the barge!

About the best we have right now would be a twitching corpse, making brain surgery less than useful.  When I mentioned stimulants, I was thinking of making some non-dead elves hyper.  Then I realized something.  We know:

Experimentation with local drugs = DarkerDark kills an elf, replete with horrifying spasms

Okay, so, what about drug interactions?  What would have happened if we had one more turn to experiment, and told DarkerDark we wanted to combine local drugs with the elves' own?  I think it's fairly obvious:

Even stupider experimentation on local drug/"assorted herb" interactions = DarkerDark kills an elf EVEN WORSE

This must be true, else there's no counter-incentive to player stupidity.  The interaction must be worse.  Maybe, like with the DELECTABLE SEASONING, it would be even more violent than we expect.  Why don't we just take advantage of how these things work?  This is SCIENCE!

So:

1.  Make a small barge out of 2 barrels for high-speed deployment.
2.  Strap Laceci-Ireci (that's his name, alright?) to the back of the small barge before he stops twitching.  (This scene had a sort of "meanwhile" implication to it anyway.)
3.  Load up some very light elves with makeshift oars, then get them on board.
4.  Administer "assorted herbs" to the poor wretch.  Like crazy.  Maybe even sprinkle salt on him.  (Hey, we were told it's used on the dead.)  Then STAND BACK.
5.  Pray to the spirits of nature for forgiveness.

_{1a.  Meanwhile, admit that plan "PropellerElf Alpha" has no chance in the underworld, and make another small barge out of 2 barrels.  Then have the strongest elves row out quickly to Amala.  It's not like she's trying to get away!}

Frogmen: hop on that barge with Amala.

Have grand time.
