It took copious savescumming for good heals and damage rolls, but I did just barely manage to get the pie. I didn't think it'd be possible to do better than 6 berries until I checked the author's notes and remembered that the defend command exists ahahahaha.
The recruitment system is a bit odd, but being forced to start from scratch if you want to replace any members is kind of an interesting dynamic?
First I picked up the chicken without healing mid-battle (this takes a little luck). Using that I got the paladin who I then used to get the dark knight. After that I cleaned up all the dark elementals and then the fire elementals. At that point my guys were out of juice, so I reset and picked up the multi-element one (since it resists all elements anyways), then the sea dragon, and finally cleaned up the earth elementals.
okay thank you, that's really interesting. i tried for a while to get the pie too, and i wasn't successful, but i took a similar approach. the only differences are that i went for the earth dragon first instead of the archeopteryx, and i wasn't as aggressive about resetting for favorable rolls. so i didn't get all the way there myself... glad to hear i was on the right track. of course, i'm very impressed, too - nice work

Really fun little puzzle!

It's extremely funny that it's a sraeka game and I was still shocked when I realized there would be combat
for my next trick i will put combat in a bitsy poem game
go to verse 4 if you choose to attack. go to verse 5 if you cast fireball
