If you ask me the turtle needs to get eaten by a giant carp along with an elf or two.

Having just proved itself as capable of outpacing the barge, it could try to swim against it, pushing it back towards the elves. Alternatively, the murky waters were able to reveal no fewer than four frogmen. Who knows what lurks beneath? It's entirely possible that a horde of turtles lies below, ready to burst forth in all their glory, and make short work of the frogmen.

I too agree with this post.  A marvelous plan indeed!

Yes. I want to see this in action. The face on the turtle would be priceless.

So . . . so the plan is now . . . retroactively HAVE PLANNED with the turtle to have it unleash untold (yet highly deserved) horrors upon the frogmen?  I guess it's okay, so long as the turtle isn't packing DELECTABLE SEASONING in that shell.  (Wouldn't want a mass detonation near Amala.)

Quote from: ed boy on January 10, 2011, 02:24:01 pm
There is at least one frogman between amala and the elves, so there is no danger of hitting amala if we try to shoot.

Actually, there is the knife-bearing frogman and the prow itself:



Two levels of protection.  I'm nervous about how it narrows near Amala's head, though, which means less "armor."  Any archers should probably be told to aim for the spine.  Or, more accurately, "Now aim for the back!" "Whose?" "The frog's!"

Oh, would anyone care to name these frogmen?  I'm impressed by how distinctive DarkerDark managed to make them look.  From left to right, I'd say we've got Big-Lips, Grunt, The Brow, and The Air-Sac.

Two more thoughts:

The lead frog man's aim with that knife could be to cut Amala free and use her as a shield.  If so, a quick volley of arrows could be encouraged even if it risks injury to Amala.  Any delay, and the enemy could ensure that arrows will hit her.

The turtle could also be going forth to distract the lead frog with its cuteness.

Shoot the frogmen in the rear of the vessel. Leave only the leader alive. Catch up to him, grab the turtle, and bash him in the head with it.

Here's the true plan...

The turtle elf has instructed our shelled compatriot to swim ahead of the boat, where another elf on the other side of the boat whom we cannot see has instructed an eagle(or some other flying creature) to pick up the turtle, and drop it on Amala, where it will SHIELD HER from the knife frogman's attacks!

While this is happening, a flurry of arrows will be unleashed upon the frogmen from the bowelves in  hot slightly cold pursuit.

Is an elf secretly wearing the turtle on his/her head? Maybe breathing through a reed or something, despite nothing being shown in the water?
