Another vote for Beaky.

Also to those complaining about in-jokes, remember we did employ Dickbutt as a holy symbol in our previous game and it wasn't so bad. This is far milder.

"KingDad, I'm hungry"....... :unsmigghh:

Seriously though, we must be starving, and what's this nonsense Jalitha's saying about there being better food than seaweed cakes?

Also Ask;

Do people fight each other where we're going?
What's going to happen once we get to the your village?

Ask our brain;

Did Jorah or Pagam tell us any forest related stories?, since we'll possibly be travelling in it for a while.
Are any of the shells on our necklace the same shells that Dad used in any of his rituals?

Get a dog, I'm guessing it'll be some sort of wolfhound related hunting dog, therefore, huge and awesome. Voting to name it Jorah or Pagam, or another name that reminds us where we came from

No to asking that question, no need to put all our cards on the table yet. Besides, this would be another piece of the 'King realising our Dad was that sorcerer' puzzle people seemed to be afraid of a couple votes ago.

Play: Apr 25, 2006; Strong stroll for a mangy stray

I would like to change my vote to JORAH. It will remind us of our favorite uncle who was really a pretty great guy. Even though we will soon be dazzled and influenced by whatever is to be found in this great city, it is crucial that we are able to remind ourselves of the village we called home and its people we called family. I think Jalitha and the king would approve, as well. Plus Jorah is a good name for a dog and most of the names proposed so far have been stupid, ESPECIALLY Thegate that is the worst stupidest name please don't choose it. The other ones aren't so bad they're just dumb and unimaginative. JORAH is a rad name.

Besides that, let's ease off on the questions, work on learning the language and get to this city already!!

That doesn't sound like dogs are the bottom-feeding, scrap-eating animals I presumed them to be. Sounds more like they could a respectable addition to our venue. I'm in favor of a dog, but only if we name him Gilgamel (Gilgamesh + El)

We had better keep the animal well trained and teach it that giving respect awards respect.

I mean if you're gonna combine names might as well call him Jor-El. That way he'll be named after both Jorah and El also he would be superman's dad.

Jesus is colourblin: Apr 13, 2008; Being colourblind ain't easy

Minivote: I will name him Jorah, because he could beat up anyone, yet he beat up no one.

EDIT: For us, this makes perfect sense: From being beaten by our "father" to seeking refuge with the (obviously stronger) Jorah, via us being raised in a religion where the definition of grace was god staying his hand and not smiting you. If there is any dishonour in having a dog named after you, we don't know it. We've never seen one; A puppy is a mighty beast!

~~I don't really have a vote for the dog's name~~, but there's a good chance that "Jorah" may be a bad choice if we're looking out for Jalitha. She had to leave her only protector (and implied lover) on the chance of freedom without being given the chance to say goodbye. Having her son flippantly name the family dog after his abandoned (and loving) uncle seems like it'd be insulting if not mildly traumatic.

Actually, I'm putting my vote toward Gilgamel.

We're voting on a dog's name? I'll go with what someone earlier suggested.

"How many chucks could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

also

"What do donkeys and dogs and dragons taste like?"
