Cute headcanon: you mentioned that Bomfris gave the Stonehelm a big deer as a courting present? Maybe Alris taught Bomfris a bit about tanning (useful for a hunter to know, more value added to sell a tanned skin, right?) and so as part of the gift Bomfris makes something out of some/all of the hide.

Oooh, that’s a good idea Nonnie! I bet Alris did teach her kids a thing or two about preserving hides… at least, I bet she taught them one or two tricks that other trappers and hunters don’t necessarily know, enough so that she could finish the job when they brought them home. 

how do ya think stun guns/tasers would work on elves and dwarves in comparison to humans?

oh god, Nonnie. I will try? Bear in mind, I am no expert on HUMAN physiology (let alone fictional races), nor do I know a danged thing about tasers. I looked up some stuff to do this, and I cannot vouch for its veracity.

Sooo, apparently the effects of a taser momentarily ‘scramble’ communication between brain and muscles in a healthy human adult. The muscles’ energy stores of blood sugar are immediately converted into lactic acid, which means that the muscles are forced to do a lot of work in a very short time and are virtually exhausted, nearly instantaneously.

I would think that in a Dwarf, a taser would not necessarily affect them to the same degree. They are hardy after all, and their dense heavy muscles would not exhaust quite so readily. It would affect them though I suppose… perhaps it would send them to their hands and knees rather than dropping them flat to the floor. IDK!

Elves do not suffer physical hurt unless in battle or in emotional distress. They also heal at a remarkable rate. So I expect that an Elf would either a) shake it off like an irritating bug, or b) fall over but jump straight back up again, fully recovered.

*helpless shrug* this is very difficult! I did my best!
