Yeah I'm not hunting a giant monster that shoots lightning out of its horn and not getting the horn.

Do the old tales mention horses in ur at all or staying there for a long time? Are there tales of heroes asking from el a boon that helps a beloved pet tamed outside ur survive the urian climate?

I'm afraid I have to vote A—fighting this thing without using any of our (or Uriah's) abilities seems like a really bad idea, and making the attempt could easily get us into a situation where we have to choose between one of us dying or exposing us in ways we barely understand. I do feel bad for the cool horse, but surely it deserves an owner who isn't an idiot that is going to gamble it away while drunk.

Mr. Nemo posted:To recap, we are going to: I have no intention of doing the part about getting information to get deep in the grasslands. Going to Baitshapash is clearly a pipe dream at this point. I figure we give the horse plus money to the merchant's tribe, get loot for recovering the horse. That way we get monster-gut loot and weird steppe peoples loot. Everyone wins.

Basscop posted:Is nobody else really apprehensive about fighting a monster in the grasslands. Peetty much exactly what we were warned to not do In any other situation, monster hunting like this would certainly grab my interest - but this situation does have me quite concerned - is there something shady going on behind the scenes, can we handle the possible dangers in the grasslands without using powers? I'm not so certain going after this is a good idea.

Since no one wants to go get something worth trading for Yafa from the tower, from L to A I guess. It seems like the easy solution to me. No need to hunt dangerous monsters without our muscle wizardry, horse goes free, etc.

I'm going to regret this, but B I think we have the upper hand when it comes to distance murder. I can't assume this thing is faster than us (as we rain arrows on it's head). We, by mundane means, have the arsenal to gently caress it up. Our biggest liability would be if we end up in close-quarters. It shoots lightning from the horn? What's stronger, the horn or a blooded arrow? Still, I'm fairly apprehensive because if it goes south it goes south. Cannon_Fodder fucked around with this message at 15:29 on Jul 17, 2019 |

I'm excited for 6 months from now when the bitter recriminations start because we got Uriah killed, when someone points out that our mistake wasn't the poor tactics, but doing this at all. This is Seirrow all over again.

Uriah wants to fight this monster anyway. He's not an idiot, he's the most successful monster hunter in Zepathan history. I trust his assessment of whether or not we can win, so if we get there and he doesn't think we can we can return the horse and whip some coins at them as an apology, then move on. I think this has the opportunity to be fun!

It is not the Seirrow because you As you prepare to truly leave civilization behind and go off into the part of the world where the map ends(if you in had maps, which you don't), something you have not done in a VERY long time, this seems like a good time to remind everyone that we do not do "challenge ratings". You have been offered this job because the individuals involved wanted to hire you to do something they wanted done, that is all. The job you are being hired for may be easy and straightforward or virtually impossible for you or anywhere in-between. The Capybaras can, will and have happily devoted an extended period of time for you marching to your doom at least once before and if you assume you must be up to the task because it was offered, because that is how most PnP and computer RPGs work, this post is a gentle reminder that is not how THIS adventure works. And for the love of El don't change your vote now because Diog said it is too hard because that is NOT what was said, again, we are ONLY reminding you that the difficulty of tasks are not tailored to your abilities by the Capybaras. Assess the situation based off the information you have, not based on "meta" information about how RPGs work.

Uriah is great, but his assessments of what is within his scope are not necessarily accurate. True, but his ability to assess threats is probably quite good, overall? Sure, not it's not perfect, but the man has done exactly what's being asked of us now a lot, and I don't think you can be as successful at what he does for as long as he has without being at least pretty good at picking battles. He's not suicidal but he is confident. Plus, for all we know the 'make sacrifices at the edge of Fare's domain' idea would have worked better than our plan of 'use Seirrow after waiting five months a ways away from it' plan, so we can't really judge that plan as good or bad, can we? If we showed up at the edge of the mountains, started throwing down diss tracks, and the behemoth charges out at the entire formation of Balls, the fight might go differently and we might still have the arrow? Edit - Hell, let's ask Uriah about this: Have you found and killed anything that this monster sounds like? What would he take as 'warning bells' for picking a fight with it when we get there?

If we somehow manage this and sell.Yafa back to house Ganaive for one tenth what they are asking that's also a crazy amount of money. That should get us plenty of magic Kadmonin loot. But they are also offering a reward on top of the horse. We should sell Yafa to another biddder to avoid getting hosed on the deal with Ganaibe

We literally do not need money. We invented money. We already have more wealth than we reasonably know what to do with. Money is not going to get us anything magical unless we luck into some rube who has no idea what they actually have.

Uriah says "Not exactly like it but I mean we've killed all sorts of crazy looking things?" >>What would he take as 'warning bells' for picking a fight with it when we get there? Uriah says "I don't know, it being a especially tough or fast or spewing rabid honeybees out its mouth at us? The descriptions the kids have gotten in the interior of monsters they chase down are sometimes close enough but sometimes just awful, I wouldn't put tremendous stock in the description being accurate to begin with. You know how those things go, do you not recall that crazy play at Chor-" Uriah pauses "-that crazy play? Obviously we are going to try to get more information from people closer to the beast if we take this hunt up. I'm looking forward to a serious battle, though I am not thrilled about going after it without our full strength but I will trust your judgment on the matter."
