man i really fucking forgot about that potion table, it hasn't changed since the SA LP. getting rid of negative effects is insanely powerful (there are some terrible things that can happen in the game), i knocked it down a notch and made it clear that you're still drunk even after you get healed

nah you're not meant to be able to change the effort you put aside, you just lose it if it's not enough. usually you can just try again. also you can cheat

Also noticed in the rubber club description the - from -2 is on a different line, which is a bit confusing.

I meant, I have to decide how much effort I plan to use before rolling fists for the opposing difficulty, right?

Being nude is not a threatening state, so the guards don't seem to care. (Might want to address this)

Fukin elfs. Gonna throw acid in their face then match w/ 4 effort, so Difficulty = round 1 opp: 1d6+4 7 vs. 4 + elfs round 1: 2d6 1,5 Wait, there's no fail condition in the text. It's either surrender or don't. I'll assume losing is the same as surrender. NEway, 2nd round up the stakes so 5 effort. elfs round 2: 1d6+4 10 elfs round 2: 2d6 2,5 10v10, so tie. No sense in losing now, so 5 again. elfs round 3: 1d6+4 9 god damn. Vs. 5+ elfs round 3: 2d6 4,5 whew. 14 fukkin effort. Worth it to stomp elvs. Ahh, now I gotta take a beating, I get it. beating: 3d6 14 Another fucking 14 effort gone, JFC. Wait, I can scrap items? Lose the pan flute and the scrying orb. That only leaves one die, so -4 effort. Still.. jesus. Gonna surrender to these skeletons before I crap out.

Aaaand I immediately lose 5 effort before skulking off to hide in the bushes. This is so brutal. Just because I couldn't charge past some elfs on a horse, god damn. I can't afford to do anything at all with 14 effort remaining. Maybe I can eat them ration? God, I have no idea what this does. eat a ration: 1d6 3+2 = psg 1092 So.. back up to 19 effort and all me elfbux r gone.
