Ever wanted to be a mouse with a sword?

[LazyMcCrow]

Aha! - Of course!

[Ishmael]

For want of any better plan, maybe we should try and get the turtle drunk after all. If we poured the whiskey into the barley and the turtle ate it, hopefully the unfamiliar alcohol in its system would kill it, or at least knock it unconscious. I don't know if a turtle would normally eat barley, smelling of delicious liquor or otherwise, so we can throw Mr. Honeywind's daughter in as an appetiser.

What's the worst that could happen?

Could I possibly be replaced? Due to RL, I don't have much time. Sorry for that.

Still want to be a part of this as a replacement for Dark feather?

A barrel of whiskey, could that be 4 cl?, for a turtle at maybe 5 kg without any alcohol tolerance (probably), would that work?

Aye! Give me 24-ish hours to catch up on things.

I reckon at best it would make it lairy. Possibly more likely to dance. Probably more likely to attack. I think the barley is the way forward. Sans alcohol :)

No worries GH, we run on a schedule of about 1 post every 48h. Thanks for joining.

Concerning the wiskey:
More than 1 barrel should do the trick of knocking out a turtle. 2 problems though. I know of very few animals who would willingly drink alcohol and how much damage would a drunk turltle do to the town?

Just a hint: this is a good opportunity for playing towards goals/instints/beliefs.
Both the wiskey and the barley are property of Harold, Thom's old friend. Does Thom potentially ruin Harold or his brewery without so much as raising his voice?
Does this lead to inner party conflict and why?

Alright, Nathaniel reporting for duty! Should I jump right into the turtle fight or is that on hold?

If you can come up with any ideas for dealing with the turtle, we're all ears. At this stage my best plan is to try luring it away again, if only to buy some time.

[GeneralHankerchief]

We still have that bucket of alcohol, right? I'm thinking a literal firewall - surely the turtle won't want to come between that and everything/one else. But Nathaniel's big on protecting the townsfolk, so I doubt he'd be the one to propose that unless things got really desperate.

[Ishmael]

So, we should probably get around the making a plan. Given that both a firewall and a drunk turtle would likely result in destroying the town, the best I can think of is repeating last turns orders, with one group distracting and the other seeing if the townsmice have anything flammable, poisonous or otherwise useful (like rope). Obviously this is not the most ideal set of orders, so revisions are welcome.

[LazyMcCrow]

A barrel of whisky is a small price to pay if we can rescue Honeywinds daughter. Light a fire under its tail and I bet it'll follow me and Sloan out of town :) hmmmm. Chaos!

[Peasant Phill]

Best to let your mouse propose a plan in the IC-thread. We'll make a vs. test of it.

[Peasant Phill]

It was pointed out to me that our mouse guard campaign faced waning intrest. I was aware of this but failed to keep attention high. You might say my interest waned as well.

We're maybe a week (2 weeks tops) away from the conclusion. It would be a shame if we quit now.
So, is everybody still on board?

Maybe we could set a schedule to ensure completion?

[Ishmael]

I'm still in, and looking forward to seeing the conclusion.

[LazyMcCrow]

Cool. Thanks Phil. I'm in. But I'm not sure what we're waiting on. ^^

[edse]

uups. Yes, I'm still on board. We're not rats after all, abandoning ships at first sign of trouble.

[Peasant Phill]

Great,

I'll post an update in an hour or 3-4.

[LazyMcCrow]

OK. Sorry guys - I'm out. Hope you understand.
