well I prefer team pet since the dwarves would probably abuse it

EDIT: WOOHOO I made the hundredth page!

Looks like we got some of them are watching this thread already.
I say one of the elves should use as a headpet (wear it like a head, just alive).. wait.. Amala is missing her hat..

[SHAD0Wdump]

Oh hey, 100th page, I wonder if there will be any celebration in order?

Other elves begin firing on the frogs while the Turtle-watching elf jumps into the water to catch the turtle that has him so captivated. Said elf then either uses the turtle as his own hat or gives it to Amala when she wakes up.

Back on-topic, I just counted the number of turtle-related suggestions so far.  Twelve.  You people.

I still hold out hope that the turtle will go forth to distract the lead frog with its cuteness.  Another concern no-one seems to have mentioned is that at least three of the enemies have blowguns, including the hypothetical "leader," and they probably use drugged darts.  If the amphibian men want to fight (and, after the past struggle, we have to assume they do), then any form of attack that requires getting close is a bad idea.  I approve of a combo of adorable turtle intervention and swift arrow volley.  Then, well, you can talk about hats all you want.

Enlist aid of the majestic turtle

*Ahem*

THIIIIS.

Thiiiiiiiiis.

(Then shoot the frogmen when the turtle proves less then majestic.)

That.  W/ salted arrows.  XP  And the legendary turtle titan is summoned by the lil' turtle to save the day! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SNy73PP-YeI  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27TvW82iR1E&feature=related  "The small turtle summons, Ghamgura, the legendary Turtle Titan!  Beware its flying body slam shell attack!"

what is all this nonsense? We are elves! We should negotiate! And use thinly veiled insults as we do it!

Simply asking what the frogs want would be helpful. That would give them much time to posture and make demands instead of doing bad things to our brave leader!

(and give Plan Turtle a chance to develop)

well she did salt one and used him/her/it as a living bomb to kill most of his/her/it comrades I think negotiating out of that is impossible when she in their hold unlike the last time where the elephants still see her still in Enrage at all enemies mode.I guess the turtle would just ride up and cause traffic for the Frogbarge making it easier for the elves to make a clear shot and the frog with the knife, or hopefully the turtle summons a legion of friendly TurtleMen who maybe all skilled in Ambush.

This is a great thread, nice to see it back alive. Will be following this.

"Plan Turtle" . . .

So, something like: quickly shout "What do you want?" and wait for any immediate response.  If they stop with the "menacing-actions-towards-Amala" thing and respond, then proceed to negotiate et cetera.  If they do not stop, skewer them with a volley of arrows before they can kill Amala and/or use her as a shield.  Yes?

If we have a bag of salt and some type of low explosive, and if we can get close enough...

[Siquo]

A blowpipe! One elf grabs a reed, cuts it into a blowpipe, stamps the salt/seasoning into a projectile, and blows it towards them!

I say! This innovation may yet show them what for! I approve wholeheartedly!

frogmen are considerably better in the water than elves, no we stay in the boat and fire arrows.


TURTLE POWER!!!

However awesome this is, I must argue against using salt right now.  Consider the blast radius:



(Note the amphibian man on the right for size comparison.)  Now consider the barge and Amala's positioning therein:



Evidence suggests all the enemies are at the front, in that little area with no cloth covering.  Now mentally superimpose these two graphics. Explosions would be bad.

Also, for the record, the original mention of DELECTABLE SEASONING stated it is "that which every Elven veteran carries."  We do not know who among the elves counts as a "veteran" other than Amala, and her personal salt shaker is likely back in the makeshift camp.

Of course, those still in the camp could work on this as a backup plan.  In case "Plan Turtle" doesn't pan out.
