LostStraw Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Not even two swallows are strong enough to carry a coconut. Not even if trying to use the thermals of Lac Dinneshire ...yes, but ye must remember that said swallows secretely be the agents o' the Evil BillGatesinator an' the Easthaven Squirrel Posse, thus givin' them super STR... ...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!... I don't think being "agents o' the Evil BillGatesinator" would grant them super strength but rather super luck and stealth abilities allowing them to steal whatever they needed to carry out their plan of world coconut migration.
EnderAndrew Posted June 2, 2004 Author Posted June 2, 2004 But what happens when said swallows choke on sunflower seed shells?

Gorth Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Sunflower seed fed african swallows might have a greater chance of carrying a coconut then the Squirrel Posse. Although... there is still the problem of getting a good grip on a coconut ?!? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein

Sargallath Abraxium Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Gorth: The Coconut Connection The action of IWD/HOW begins with the return of Icasaracht who as a dragon, must have dropped a coconut as she rose from the depths of Lac Dinneshire and flew up north. This coconut that Icasaracht dropped was from a sparrow that she killed with the help of her mate (a hard fought battle indeed). Meanwhile the rivals Yxunomei and Belhifet were fighting for the control of the coconut trade. Well the fight got too heavy, so the fiends threw them out of the abyss to carry on their fighting elsewhere (Spine of the World). Well it ended up that Belhifet found the legendary item Crenshinibon. Thanks to Crenshinibon, Belhifet found the sacred coconut in the bottom of Lac Dinneshire, which was dropped by Icasaracht, after the legendary Aihonen killed her. He enlisted the services of a trader named Pomab who shipped coconuts from the warm climate of Calimshan to the Dale. Belhifet soon allowed one of his lieutenants to be turned into a coconut cracker (Saablic Tan as the Umber Hulk). As word of the coconut smorgasbord spread the Frost Giants and other creatures of cold swarmed to Belhifets' side in hopes of sampling the foreign fruit. While further north the barbarians fell into a coconut-envying rage, with the revival of Icasaracht, whom you helped free. Meanwhile, in an effort to protect the Ten Towns, a displaced gnome by the name of Oswald Fiddlebender experimented with the lost art of bovine warfare. A virgin's fascination with coconuts is well known so it was not long before the maiden Ilmadia found herself aligned with Belhifet as well. However, Ilmadia's true quest was to eliminate a drow city. Why, because a drow named Nym that hailed from that city and was known to consort with sparrows. It is a well-known fact that coconut-bearing sparrows have undone many virgins. Meanwhile Yxunomei gained control of Dragon A long, long time ago, but I can still remember, How the Trolling used to make me smile. And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance", And maybe we'd be happy for a while. But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage. I can't remember if I cried When I heard that TORN was recently fried, But sadness touched me deep inside, The day...Black Isle died. For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way
Gorth Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 I'll have to test the thing with using coconuts to undo virgins. Sounds very interesting. There was a few details that I didn't understand though. I can understand the need to trade for coconuts, the climate in Icewind Dale being generally unfavourable for coconut growth. But wouldn't it be more likely the Nym started the coconut trade in the first place (in secret) to destabilize the market ? And also, I'm pretty sure that Orrick's so called "Mythal Studies" were a cover up for his real studies, the aforementioned virgin undoing abilities of coconuts. Come on, the guy has been living alone in that tower forever (except the company of a goblin, Eek!) Sparrows are birds. Birds live in nests. Nests are build in trees. Kuldahar has friggin big tree. 'Nuff said. It was bound to happen that sparrows would be involved somehow. Leaves the question, do sparrows migrate during winter ? Icewind Dale is sort of one long winter. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
LostStraw Posted June 3, 2004 Posted June 3, 2004 Leaves the question, do sparrows migrate during winter ? Icewind Dale is sort of one long winter. I thought birds migrate before winter comes so they can avoid it. You also have to take into account that different kinds sparrows have different migratory habits. Heres the White-throated Sparrow Migration for example. http://www.nwf.org/wildlife/whitethroateds...w/migration.cfm

It spends the summer in Canada, New England states, northern New York and around the Great Lakes. It winters in the southern United States. It fills forests of both countries with its melody Heh, thought so. Forget if Sargy, there are too few sparrows in Icewind Dale to make your story credible It was Nym all the way. “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.
