guy's, one of my Players lost his crodlu in battle and decided to carve it up into Jerky. my question is are they related to Erdlu and/or Erdland? I.E. Are they edible? How much meat? uses? ideas?
Yes, if I remember well, it's like horse.
War horse = Crodlu (the trained version)
Light horse and cow = Erdlu (the untrained version and eatable version)
Something wild and edible = Erdland (wild version)
I'll start.
1) Lots of jerky.
2) Bait for scavenging beasts.
3) Cut it open, spill its guts and make a costume.
4) Leather boots.
5) Giant's throwing sap.
6) Stuffed animal.
7) Ritual sacrifice.
8) Raise as undead.
9) Use tongue as afrodisiac.
10) Fashion jewelry from its bones.
One of the Dark Sun adventures in Dungeon mentioned a dish involving ground crodlu and rice.
In a game I ran a few years ago, I mentioned that a warehouse the PCs were investigating had a bunch of erdlu trussed up against one wall. One half-giant PC (all hail the Baron!) decided that he would take them with him when he left. Apparently, however, he had not heard that I had also mentioned that they were dead - trussed from the slaughter and ready to be filleted.
It was some time before we got to the bottom of the understanding. He couldn't understand why he was getting all these funny looks from passers-by for dragging his erdlu down the street by their rope, nor could he quite fathom why my descriptions indicated that the erdlu kept smashing into things, knocking stuff over and generally being inanimate hunks of meat. For my part, I was completely baffled as to why he would want to drag three dead erdlu through the streets of Balic without a care in the world. Oh, how we laughed when the misunderstanding came to light. It's a wacky, crazy world when you're playing D&D...
And Jon... a crodlu costume? Wtf?? On the other hand, it would make a great disguise for a band of halfling assassins...
13) you could sleep inside it ("and I thought they smelled bad on the outside!").
14) use its blood to bath in to get attention.
15) take the blood you bathed in and make blood sausage to give to your enemies or friends you do not really like.
16) take their eyeballs to use in your sling.
17) the thigh bone would make a wicked cool back-scratcher.
18) the intestines could be used as improvised rope to enact your bondage and neco fetish at the same time.
19) said intestines could also be used as a jump rope to pass the time too.
20) you could leave some of the rotting flesh in you neighbors roof to stink then out as the flesh further decays.
21) make a skin-tight leather outfit with a feather cloak and disguise yourself as Crodlu-man.
12) you could use the head as a hand puppet to entertain the locals.

23) Cast ventriloquism and make a siltrunner tribe worship it.
24) Animate it and make it dance. Lease it to weirdos.
25) Run around with its head as a mask and pass yourself off as a beasthead giant.
26) Practice for the annual dead crodlu toss competition.
27) Pinata.

31. Open up a chain of restaurants. Mc Crodlu anyone?
32. Take it on a tour of the seven cities and beyond.
33. Leave its dead head in a local crimeboss's bed.
34. Thri Kreen bait. Here kreen, kreen, kreen.
35. Put it on a wagon and try and convince people its an oracle
36. Write "Dregoth was here" on it and leave it in Urik (or Gulg/Nibenay)

Heh, that's going to cause a rukus.
Crodlu's a neat meat to eat but watch out for Salmonella, and also that chicken flu virus...
In the immortal words of Crocodile Dundee...
"You can live off of it, but it tastes like
."38) you could have the fighter in your group carry the flesh of the bird- so if you are chased by a hungry animal all you have to do is out run him.
39) strap the severed head to your shoulder and ask it if pally wants a cracker.
40) render its fat into soap and sell it to other crodlu.
41) make a dice bag from its bag- this is Dark Sun, so it could have one
42) carry its severed head in a bag and the next time you are haggeling with a merchant say that while it is a fair price, you will have to consult with your partner first and talk into the bloody bag.
43) step up on it while in combat and inform your DM that you now gain a +1 to your attacks due to having higher ground.
44) hide under it while your DM unleashes a fistful of lightning bolts at you for you impertanence.
45) make stew- who says all you can do with it is make jerky.
46) goad a aarakocra by pointing at the crodlu's corpes and saying that his mother is not looking very well.
Here is a
to take the sting out of my reply50. Chop its *cough* member off and put it in a pouch for latter. Next time you are being chased by the templers, throw it at them.
48. Chop off its head and put it in Zardnaar's bed.
Better than nothing I suppose :D Woken up with worse.

But it says New Zealand in your location- is someone in denial- and not the river in Egypt either ;)
I meant Oz is the land of the wooley love. Not NZ :D

Kal, you're a Marine? active?
Kal, you're a Marine? active?
No not active anymore, but once a Marine, always a Marine right- I was active duty from 1996 to 2000- Infantry Rifleman (0311 RULZ), Antitank Assultman, Non-lethal Combat Instructor. I was a Sergeant, but decided to get out and go to college. The plan was to go to the FBI, but plans have a tendency to change and now I am an auditor.

Make a boomerang out of it's beak. Stick it's fingernails in your wide-brimmed hat like they were teeth. Speak with an annoying Austrailian accent during all gaming session. Make sure you waste the parties time in the City States by having "conversations" with any and all passing crodlu's. Call yourself "Crodlu Dundee."

Some more:
X. Take it to the prom if you can't get a living date.
X. Open up the first McCrodlu restaurant and turn it into a franchise concept.
X. Enter it in a chariot race and bet against it. Claim it was a 'dead race'

I had an Australian lecturer at college. He has some good punts. To quote: "New Zealand - a country where men are men, and sheep are nervous." :P
Australia
Number of sheep (1998): 120,000,000
Population(2000): 20,000,000
Sheep per person: 6
New Zealand
Number of sheep (1999): 45,600,000
Population (1999): 3,800,000
Sheep per person: 11.9
This should prove conclusively that New Zealand is indeed the land of wooly love :D
:coolcthul [closest thing to a sheep among the smileys]
"Draj, home of Erdlu love"
I wonder if the Athasians have similar jokes...
"Draj, home of Erdlu love"
I'm sorry but, its the Raamins that are the erdlu porkers. :P
Time to settle the argument once and for all...
