So my group encountered the Gorilla King last night. They first felt uneasy sitting on the slaves and for the most part, did not partake of the 'feast'. When it was time to do the challenges, the Barbarian rolled a 3 and therefore could not break the bundle of femurs. They are an 'attack and kill' type party so no one has a lot of ranks in charisma (We don't need no stinkin' bards!). Needless to say, they failed the story telling challenge. Since they failed 2 out of 3 challenges, the Gorilla King didn't see the need to have the duel. He told them that they and their camp needed to get out of 'his city'.
So I am wondering what to do now. I think my guys would get pretty tired of using guerrilla (gorilla? :) ) tactics to decimate the GK's army, plus I don't think the GK would wait around while his army got decimated.
I thought I remember reading that KM had rules to handle combat between armies and I wonder if anyone has stated up the GK army, and that of the PC's base camp? I think this would be a fun way to resolve the conflict without spending several sessions of "You run into a patrol of 4 dire apes" etc.
Did anyone have PC that failed the GK challenges without going to war?
