>ASK IF WE HAVE ANY KIND OF WEAPONRY BEFORE SHE REALISES WHAT WE JUST SAID.

At the mention of the word "weaponry," KATH THE HOT REDHEAD turns to you and grins.

"Oh yes," she says. "The only thing that works against ELVES is COLD IRON. Look in the back seat."

You turn to the back seat and see it: a CROWBAR. It's old and battered and looks like it has BARRED many CROWS (if this is the etymology of the word).

"That's my baby," KATH says. "I call it ELFCRUSHER." You must admit, that does sound like an awesome name.

"That's cool," you say. "Is there another crowbar I can use?"

KATH's grin slowly fades as she stops the car. "Hold on one second," she says as she gets out. You can hear her opening the trunk and rummaging through, saying things like "No," "That won't do," and "That's just a curling iron, not cold iron." Finally, she walks back to the car door and hands you something.

It is a LUG WRENCH. It doesn't look like an ELFCRUSHER. So instead you name it LISA.

Directions are: NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST, and WHAT IS THE ETYMOLOGY OF CROWBAR ANYWAY?

What do you want to do?
