Ahhh....I was going by size.
Gremlin merchants calculate the worth of a fruit by either 1) the amount of bludgeoning damage it does as a weapon, or b) the amount of comedic potential it offers as a weapon, whichever of the two is higher.
For example, gremlins know a banana is nearly worthless as a weapon, and comedically banana peels just aren't slippery. I mean they're pretty gross to step on barefoot if you didn't see it here, especially if it's gone moldy or still has a bit of banana mush in there, but HP-sapping slip & falls aren't in the dice. Sure, tarantulas like to hide in them, but that just makes tarantulas more expensive not bananas. And a banana takes forever to hammer and fold (re-hammer and re-fold, ad nauseam) into a Wootz blade. No, a banana's only real use is cramming one in the tailpipe of an adventurer's or commoner's horse or dog so the exhaust backpressure builds in the creature to critical levels. (I lived for two months in the garbage dumpster behind a veterinarian, so I naturally know such things.)
And as a corollary, you should probably not purchase any fruit or vegetable from a gremlin merchant if it could've fit within the natural openings of any living or undead creature.

Also watch out for fruit that looks like it has a seam. Most fruit don't have those, and we have been known to place certain modified peach pits in there...purely for scientific and entertainment purposes, of course!

I don't think so. Mostly they needed someone to manufacture Silver Bullets for them.

Ah but now people can get silver bullets and just say they are just really big Lone Ranger fans.
And that adventure kinda look likes the trash that needs to be left back in the past.

I'd be up for vampire Lone Ranger vs FrankenButch Cassidy and werewolf The Sundance Kid. (That's weird enough it just might work.)
So anymore questions for me?
Who works on/fixes your desktop/laptop computer when things go wonky?
(I ask because I had to perform an emergency fan-ectomy on my notebook this morning. Bearings failing in it made it sound and vibrate like an Everglades airboat.

It doesn't really belong in the past either - it is not good.

Well there is Billy the Kidd vs Dracula and Sundown: Vampires in Retreat(I think that us the full title). Though those are only Vampire Westerns.
There is Blood Moon as a werewolf western.

Having learned from their latest mishaps, your player characters do some careful and time-consuming research before venturing into the lair of a red dragon. They stock up on fire resistances and healing items, making the dragon an easy opponent. What should you modify about this encounter to cope with the situation?

Funny enough I ran a adventure where the Pcs did research on a dragon they were going to confront. The dragon which was a red had put out misinformation that it was a black dragon. I set two DCs and unfortunately they did not make the higher DC so they went in geared for acid resistance...So they were kinda surprised.
Is there something you need to about?

So Rant Time...
History: Everybody know I have a old cat named Floyd. He doesn't probably have many years left in him. :(
My sisters both own a dog each...and when they come insist on bringing them and staying for a week or so...sometimes longer. Terrorizing poor Floyd. Who doesn't like dogs.
Rant: So for Christmas my Sisters decided to get my Mom a dog. So now Floyd is under constant stress. So now I get to watch my friend (I know he is cat but he has been there for me in some very tough times) suffer in the last Years of his life because my Sisters are a$!##%%s who hate cats and no respect for me...Though they expect me to accept their dogs presence no matter the pain it is causing my cat. No they and my Mother could not f*%~ing wait for like 1 to 2 years to get a f$@$ing dog.
If there was ever a time I need to win the lottery it is now so I can move out and not deal with these people anymore.

:( *hugs you and Floyd*

There are times when I've had urges as an adult to punch my adult sister in the face for parental politics jockeying, but this would be an act of war to me. Pets don't have any choice in these matters. If your sisters have this kind of an attitude, it makes me doubt they see any pets (including their own) as sentient creatures with wants, needs, and fears and instead see them as mere possessions for their (sisters') own whims. Older established pets of any kind don't take to change that well.
And if they have that opinion about pets, it illustrates how they likely think of and treat you and other people.
I wish I could do something to help you financially move you, Emperor Floyd, and Princess Kitten into your own safe(r) place.

So here is a kitten story...
So Sunday morning I went out for a cigarette at 4 AM in the morning(This is normal for me). As I am standing out the backdoor I hear my kitten (whose name is Nala by the way) meowing. It was the kind of alarming meow of fear, maybe pain....a meow of 'HELP!'.
So I tried calling her over to me...but she did not come. Worried now I went in and got a flashlight and started looking for her. But could not seem to find her even though I could still hear her meowing. Than I looked up. And there she was about 30' to 40' up a tree. A fox probably chased her up (Also bitting her on the tail).
I spent the next half hour trying to coax her down but from her meows she seemed to be very afraid. Now I know cats can climb down trees on their own...but she is less than a year old and just seemed very afraid to do so.
So I called the cops...and they were polite enough to come by and assessed the situation. They said give her like a hour and half to see if she would come down herself. Which is reasonable as the agency that deals with animals said she would climb down on her own.
So a hour and half passes and she won't climb down and her meows asking me for help growing even more plaintive. I am now in full Worried Cat Mom Mode. And call the cops again.
They took a hour to respond this time, and to be fair this is not a emergency...And they assessed it again. The checked with the DPW and being Sunday no one was there. So finally they called in a Fire truck as they pulling the truck into the backyard Nala decided she was more scared of it than of heights and climbed down...not very well but she managed to get down.

Also in other new Floyd and I have kinda adapted to the new dog. He mostly hangs out in the basement so I go down to to give him lettings and scratches. Occasionally late at night he will brave the trip upstairs and sleep in my room.
Still not happy about it...
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
The problem right now is she loves going outside. If we keep her in she gets bored...And while I don't need a lot of sleep I need some. And Floyd is getting yo old to be constantly jumped by playful and bored kitten.
So we need something to distract her....
Leash and walks?
That could work...she has been on a leash before...though one of the things she likes to do is run at full speed outside.

I am very happy Princess Kitten is safe after her epic adventure among the ents. Almost every cat seems to have at least "stuck in a tree" adventure. Hope her tail is ok.
My brother trained his boy cat to walk on a leash and takes him for short walks along the road and in their yard. His cat has the poor beagle at the end of the road terrified. His cat also tried to stalk a small flock of not-at-all-small Muscovy ducks and the ducks quickly put the fear into him.

I am not...I might be accused of unoriginal characters as my characters on the surface maybe considered similar but to me they are very different.
