In honor of Moni and CloudSparkle, the following tactic is being mentioned. It is due to the inspiration these two provided that we may enjoy the benefit of the following weapon. A weapon so devistating that it is sure to bring peace as long as it remains in the right hands.
However, a significant departure from mainstream Dwarf/Gnome/Halfing Throwing is necessary. This tactic requires two stout male Dwarves and one female Elf with big eyes, long lashes, and slightly pouty lips. That's right an elf. Neah, you say. Humph, you say. It can't be done, you say. Well allow me to ellucidate and then you be the judge.
All three are to be loaded into the catapult with the Dwarves on the bottom so as to make the Elf as comfortable as possible. The Dwarves must be completely bereft of any exposed body hair for they must pass the elf in the air in order to ensure a safe and soft landing (by whatever means necessary). Once the Elf has landed she must bat her eyelashes and push out a pouty lower lip. The outcome is inescapable. The enemy will fall all over themselves to do her bidding, even to the point of doing themselves harm
. The effect greatly exceeds that of mental domination. However, if this does not persuade you, the Elf can also show a little leg
, which will cause the enemy to spontaniously combust
. Anything more than a little leg would jeopardize the safety of the Elf (to heck with the Dwarves), since she may take shrapnel from the enemy outright exploding .
