My dear friend, what's troubling you?

Well bear with me/

[Dire Moose]

But shave that beard first; that thing looks like you glued a dead muskrat to your face.

[Korith]

Only if the proposal gets approval from the board of beard approvals and redundancy

[Oerkali]

I can check with the board, but first, I'm trying to search for a dragon's hoard.

And all our beards will be hoar with age by the time you're done with that.

[enq]

It will be even worse. Dragons are a hoax, so you cannot find one, let alone its hoard.

Spoiler: If anyone feels stuck

coax and hax (if you consider that a word) are both continuations that don't lead to dead ends.

[Dire Moose]

You killed the dragon in one hit? With a rusty spork? I call hax !

[Oerkali]

Taking the dragon's piles of gold is all well and good, until it's tax season and you have to pay.

You could take a taxi to the airport and leave the country forever. This way, you wouldn't have to pay

[enq]

So when I said hax wouldn't lead to a dead end, perhaps I should have clarified that it wouldn't necessarily lead to a dead end... anyway, DM allowed me to take 20 on this one, and so I have found a way out, after racking my brain several times over.

Maybe fly to Japan and buy some tabi. Because nothing inspires exotic purchases like sudden wealth.

It'll be a long flight, but I can catch up on some shows on Tubi as I go.

(Are we good with using trademarked names for this? This was the only shift I could think of, but it should open up some new options.)

[enq]

I had tab in mind :P the word of the game is still Tubi.

While the rest of you are off on an adventure, I'm going to relax in the tub.

[paddyfool]

Just don’t stub your toe again on the way there

Sounds painful...

I told you I'd stab you if you brought that up. Clearly, my Intimidate check failed.

By the way, idea: Allow word reversal. While it won't usually be possible, when it is it could lead us into fresh or at least not-recently-traveled territory. It's also simple enough to verify, unlike say, full-blown anagrams. So with this, someone could follow me up with a sentence using bats, which in turn has at least two good continuations.

A 5-star idea! Which could lead to rats...

[oogaboogagoblin]

perhaps you could trap them in tar?

[Oerkali]

perhaps you could trap them in tar?

And then roll them up in a tarp?

[Rogan]

And then roll them up in a tarp?

Make it so! Full speed ahead warp9!

[paddyfool]

Now, I know you’re riding the best warg money can buy, but I’m pretty sure it can’t go that fast.

[Starlit Dragon]

Careful now. You could start a war if people think you're slandering their mounts.

[Rogan]

These wargs would eat you raw if you insult them.

(This was the proposed option, right?)

[enq]

Yes, yes it was. We could try to pass it into law, but sadly the name of the thread doesn't lend itself well to allowing this move. Chaotic posters may still use it!

[JNAProductions]

I saw what you were going for, but I lost track of it.

[Oerkali]

Sorry, I was out getting food and got sidetracked. Anyone want some cole slaw?

[Starlit Dragon]

Sure. Maybe food will distract the warg that broke its claw

[enq]

Yeah, I'm sure vegetables will make that carnivore real happy. Maybe a clam? It's probably never had one before, but it's meat.

Spoiler: Some possible continuations

slam, clap, cam, cram. And claim, but it may be a dead end

[somethingrandom]

would the best way to open them be to slam them off something
