1. D Danal needs to learn about death. 2. D I assume that we can do some basic arrows and as that merchant dude said, someone skilled with a bow will never go hungry.

1. Voting D, because yeah it's pretty obvious we should help Danal grieve and there's no reason to be a dick making it happen. 2. Voting K. I really wanted to bring Snarls as well, but I figure that if he's as intelligent as we think he is, he'll be able to figure out how to catch up with us soon enough. For the moment, we're being asked to go on a long trip, and can only bring one thing. The best thing for survivalism, then, is the flint with iron - we can use it to start fires, and with some work can fashion crude tools with it to do anything else we need. Individually none of the stuff we make will be a match for the other stuff we can take, but the fact that we WILL have all those options available to us will be just what we need. Let's not try to work out whether the spear or the knife or the bow is best - bring a flint and some iron, and with work we will have them all! Tools are the very basis of humanity and civilization. Let's make use of them!

1. D 2. M (D with a twist.) If possible, I want to wake Snarls Barkley and inform him that it is now his job to take care of Danal and keep him out of trouble as best he can. Then, take the short bow and arrow. Vavrek fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Sep 22, 2013 |

By the way, Dio, when we say a scrap of iron, how large are we talking about? Size of a thumb or summat?

1F. 2K. This is a tough one. Tudiya says we won't be returning for a while, so we're probably going to do some survivalism. Assuming Tudiya accompanies us on our journey and doesn't just dump us off somewhere in the wilderness to fend for ourselves, we won't need to worry about food or weapons. Tudiya is a hulking painmachine whose signature move is beating monsters to death with their own severed limbs, and he's also got a magical spell that allows him to summon animals and slaughter them for food. Snarls is pretty smart, but we've got magic shoes that let us walk forever and I doubt Tudiya ever gets tired either. Dogs can walk for a pretty long time too, but if we won't stop walking for days that's just cruel. None of the expensive items serve us any good and they'd just be dead weight. That leaves us the wine skin, knife, rope and flint and steel. Assuming we know how to use it, the flint is the most useful item. A fire can give us warmth and light at night and if we can somehow make a torch, we will have a portable light source. If there's going to be a ritual somewhere along our trip, I pre-emptively vote we actually try to reach out and touch the words Tudiya speaks if he does that words-as-physical-objects thing he occasionally does.

1:D 2:D - Tell Snarls to guard Danal. We may as well go for this bow thing, although it's been two years and we can just about hit a stationary target. Comedy Option: N : Order Snarls to go home and get our flute, then guard Danal. Nettle Soup fucked around with this message at 22:27 on Sep 22, 2013 |

1F, Monkey was there for one of the most important events in our life, and she wants to make him into soup! 2D. We spent all that time training as an archer, might as well make use of it. Also telling Snarls to guard Danal.

May I remind you gentlemen that Tudiya is saying we're going on a LONG trip. The bow has ONE arrow. We have NO guarantee of being able to retrieve the arrow after the shot if something goes wrong. We have NOTHING with which we could fashion new arrows if we take the bow. Choose the flint - with work and a little luck, we can fashion a crude bow and arrows if need be with tools such as that, AND stay warm at night! (Heck, if The Unreal World taught me anything, all we need is a fire and a slender tree trunk to make javelins with! Reusable weapons, right there!)

Yeah, but this smacks of ritual to me. The item we pick will have significance, so if we bring the bow we'll only need the one shot.

jng2058 posted:Yeah, but this smacks of ritual to me. The item we pick will have significance, so if we bring the bow we'll only need the one shot. There are some initiation rituals that involve dropping the kid off in the middle of goddamn nowhere with a tiny handful of supplies if any and expecting them to either last a set amount of time or make their way home. What will we do with our twiddly little bow after the first time we shoot at a rabbit and we lose the arrow in the undergrowth on such an initiation?  Edit: Also, if what we choose has significance, taking the flint shows our cleverness and humanity by taking advantage of the item needed to make more tools and create life-giving fire! From flint, fire and tools all else springs - what can be more ritually significant than that?

I can't help but feel regretful that we spent more time with Rathal of all people than mom. Sure, we can read and do math, but I have a feeling that we'll be separated from Mom before we ever really knew her

1. D 2. B - I really want to choose Snarls, but, if this IS a test of manhood, then it's best we take something that will let us be self-sufficient without it being able to be a crutch. Minivote: Yes to waking up Snarls and asking him to watch out for Mom and Danal Question to Diog: Do we know if Zepath has any sort of coming-of-age rituals and/or what they'd entail?

the_steve posted:Question to Diog: Do we know if Zepath has any sort of coming-of-age rituals and/or what they'd entail?[/b] Indeed you do! You know there is one which occurs when a boy turns 16. You know nothing of the details, which are kept secret. It probably does not involve cannibalism, the men of Zepath seem pretty clear on the whole "cannibalism is bad" thing.

Because we didn't train snarls to be an attack or hunting dog? He's very smart but I really don't want him to get hosed up out there in the wild.

If possible as a free action, I would like to ask Tudiya to identify the statue before we choose. I have this hunch that aptitude with the bow is not where our strength lies, at least for the time being. We should seek out the help of whoever happens to be watching over us to guide us through our upcoming trials.

Many of the other things will be useful, but pretty much no one goes into the wilderness alone because most of these things make very little difference to survival without a group. I may change to Nothing later, but for now the unknown Melachim. Can anyone make the linkable spreadsheet? I can keep the count (just can't alter the templates). Edit: I would ask no questions and only respond to direct questions.
