We might not have time to go grab a spear and then run over to protect Danal. Besides, maybe the tooth has some protective or destructive magics we can end up using. Protect Danal!

A spear is what we know best, and it will give us longer range. You don't go up close vs monsters when you're weak. Using the tooth would be like punching the monster in terms of range. We also DO NOT KNOW the ritual Fishpriest used for lightning. AT MOST we can do a divining ritual. quote:"We cut our hand and perform a ritual we hope summons the lightning. Unfortunately, we were lazy fucks and only learned some of the rituals that dad taught us. The one we perform is sadly a weather prediction ritual. We should protect both our mother and Danal. Tell our mother "HUG DANAL" as we go for the spear. That way, Danal won't run off to get involved and we can protect them both. 1.A 2.

Oh that's right, every Asherah related option can only result in instadeath, my bad. We saw our Dad do it, so to us it can't seem that hard right?, just do everything he did. Besides, the fights probably going to be over by the time we grab a spear, these guys are dragonslayers after all. It's obvious they don't take us seriously, we'll just get laughed at by Barkof and co again for trying to be a hero. e: Seriously though, we should do something major, for better or worse, to distinguish ourselves. Otherwise we'll end up in some lovely fishermans hut getting mad at poor Jalitha beacuse "I'm not a fisherman mum!, I'm a hero!!!" alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 23:40 on Jun 12, 2013 |

SerSpook posted:We grab a spear (we have more experience with spears) and stand in front of Jalitha. However, we will also call Danal over to protect him, or to help protect Jalitha as well if he so wishes. We can reverse this and call Jalitha while protecting Danal if he is too frightened to come. Also Scream at Tyudia "Tell it to stand still like the deer you jellyfish!!" Also voting we Lighten the gently caress up and stop metagaming everything to the lowest possible risk. We're choosing our own life as boring as real life here.

How is standing your ground the lowest possible risk? It is certainly lower risk than charging at the monster but it's much more risky than hiding with the women. It's a decent amount of risk.

I sort of imagine anything we do here is going to be ultimately impotent, what's really at stake is the impression we make on the dino-slayers. Although I'll be pretty entertained if the E votes win, I figure we'll make a pretty decent impression if we appear to have been willing to stand our ground with a spear. Maybe not so much if we're standing around cutting ourself with a tooth. I mean, it's also possible we'd lightning the dinosaur, or maybe turn it away if it recognizes a symbol of Asherah, or something improbable but awesome. Of course, it's also possible that the impression we make in that eventuality will be a pretty bad one upon King El and his angelic cohorts.

A, H. I get the whole 'use lightning' deal is a cool idea, but we have killed a lot of crap with spears before. Like, we are an accomplished spear fisherman. Why the hell we aren't going to throw spears at this sumbitch, I don't know.

and then + Lets not get caught up with the stupid warrior bullshit right now. We are rolling with a crew of experienced fighters, one of which is apparently a demigod. Lets let the adults do the fighting. we can still be heroic by ushering our mother and best friend to safety. We shouldn't gently caress with any weapons, just get our two loved ones out ASAP. Tudya will appreciate someone looking out for his son in a crisis like this. As far as the plan of attack, I would run to mom first and grab her hand. Then run towards Danal while calling his name, and once the three of us are together we run and hide behind a nearby rock/tree.

Guys. Are you seriously going to make this into personal arguments here? Because I can think of no better way to run this CYOA into the ground than to turn voting over options into personal vendettas and bickering over how such-and-such group of voters are terrible because of the votes they're making. At least try and keep this poo poo civil. There's no loving need to descend to insult, alright? You can just loving say "Why don't we take some risks here?" instead of "you guys never take any risks" and there goes half the tension, gone, it's not argumentative, it's not Team Us versus Team Them, it's just 'hey think about this' and everyone actually thinking about the option instead of jerking at the knee because you went in fists raised and swinging. We're all adults here, there's no reason we can't all be civil. Except for Brian, that guy's always been a dick.

Outrail posted:Not that, standing our ground is fine. I'm talking generally about the micro-meta-gaming refusal to take risks with regards to doing anything fun. Defending your friend is pretty fun. And it's also something we as an 11 year old could actually do. I don't think we should be trying anything like stabbing this monster because in all likelihood it'll end up that one of the warriors will have to haul our rear end out of trouble. We rush into things thinking 'WE'RE HELPING' but might just gently caress up and be a major burden, that's not very useful. And my point about stabbing the monster with your tooth is simple, it's not very big. And we're a kid. It's like a pen knife really, any real damage that we could possibly do relies on our strength. Whereas with a spear, you could do more damage if the monster falls on it. Physics.
