Hey! They wouldn't go as far as cannibalism!

How many fish did Gollum eat under the Misty Mountains?

That's easy, one for every Tolkienbashing review ever written.

Let's have another go at this one:

Depends on the levels. A 20 level monster can eat 56,8 level 5 critics, but the ratio critically changes if the critics have a +3 reputation bonus.

How many critics does it take to avoid being eaten by the monsters?

Two. The first critic feeds the brain of the second critic to a monster; the monster is sickened by the repugnance of the thoughts in the critic's brain, and loses its lunch. Word gets out to all the other monsters and the critics are safe..... (blast it) ..... to continue their Tolkienbashing.
