1. H - No. We don't want Danal becoming a slackass, and we don't want to set a bad example by enabling him to become one.
Say in the most grandiose fashion we can: "One of the most important tenets of being a real man is doing things that need to be done, even if you don't want to."
2. J - Yes, no haggling.

This. No haggling, no stupid questions, no sass. He wants one hundred foreskins and we will get him one hundred foreskins.

The point isn't the foreskins, it's that we're dedicated enough to hunt down and murder enough beasts to show Tudiya we mean business. Don't ask any idiot questions about Minotaur taints or whatever.

I'm half tempted to ask Tudiya if he wants to make it a formal contract.

Question for dio. Has danal done any kind of martial training, like we've done with chait? If the answer is no tell him to go to Ishamal and ask him to set him up with a trainer, that the time for merely watching monster slaying is over. If he can impress us with his skills upon our return we will consider letting him come with us next time.
This. If Danal comes along we're gonna be responsible for him and we have enough on our plate as-is collecting demon dongs.

J. Just tell him that during our manhood trial we swore we'd never harm a goat. We don't need to get any more descriptive than that. He'll either understand or else go kill one himself, but we can at least be straight with him. He put his confidence in us after all.

Let's do a solemn prayer to El as we do it because they're still fruit trees, even if they've got the scorpion cancer. We should also stick around until the fire is completely out, out of respect and to try to make sure no scorpions get away.

Changing my vote to J

Buy the slaves and have them work for the potter for a cut of his profits. We could start a bargain at fifty fifty and settle for a third.
Any slaves not needed for clay digging can be rented out to whatever else. Without any knowledge at all about clay digging or pottery i estimate 2-3 slaves would be enough. Surplus clay could be sold to other potters.

Depending on how many slaves we get we could even use them to gather the supplies for the bridge and cover our losses with leftover money.
After a while we can reassess our income and outcome. If we end up losing then we can cut our losses, sell the supplies and rent out the slave labor.

I think the slaves can be a really good option that allows us to strike two birds with one stone. If everything works out perfectly then we can buy the slaves to cover the potter and turn a big enough profit to eventually build the bridge. Increasing our profits enough to set up the fletcher's shop as well.
Hiring the fletcher to work with the carpenter is just the cherry on top.

The secret is of course to give everyone else instant payments and no ownership of anything. The more we own the more we profit.
This is a good idea. But don't go making deals for people without consulting them first.

It's not a matter of who's telling us the drat truth. If we go with her we burn all the bridges, piss everyone in our adoptive family off, and disappoint Ishmael, who is a cool guy. And we miss the wrestling contest.

X. Scream incoherently and punch her in the face as hard as we can. This is not going to succeed; it is a distraction. While doing that, telepathically order Snarls to fetch Ishamal as fast as he possibly can.

e: Also go for our knife, whichever one we can grab more quickly, and at whatever point we have a chance to. Even if she stops us, she has to expend attention and take time to do so, which is more of a lead for Snarls.

If she says she can't tell us, then she can't tell us. If she says she can't tell us why then she can't. She clearly is under some sort of oath or external pressure to not tell us, making her tell us could endanger her life, you dicks.

Don't push the subject. I vote we say "Ok. I understand. Thank you for telling me that instead of just changing the subject."
