Non mighty people eat while running all the time. Usually during super long distance races. I've read about people ordering pizza while running. The beautiful people in YLLS probably know more about it.

Also, if you have an old sandwich in the fridge and can't remember how old it is, just throw it out. It may smell fine, but you will regret biting into it. This has stuck as my pseudonym ever since Counter Strike 1.2. :dull:

D - quit race to get food, but give Lully an infuriatingly friendly wave as we slow down to let him pass. (Unless waving isn't friendly in this culture, then insert appropriately innocuous gesture of friendliness) For bonus points yell Good Luck at him,

We should try to avoid naming any of our children, when/if we gave any, Goliath. Just in case. Also watch out for invaders who like to march around cities blowing trumpets. (Edit: actually I think this CYOA would vastly pre-date any of that, but Abram was a man from Ur, and generally I find all of it very fascinating)

Did we decide who to talk to in the temple, or are we running out on the archery contest to see if we still have an anus? Everyone got really sidetracked when we discovered we haven't pooped in a while. :cheeky:

Maybe instead of bugging Ishmael to tell us where he's going when he leaves the city (as someone centuries old and wiser than the king he owes us no answers about anything and especially not his super secret wilderness hideout or whatever) we should try following him someday. When we're older.

Which is probably a terrible idea that will put us in mortal danger. I'm positive we will do it eventually. :D

Naomi finds out we've been spending weeks alone in the wilderness with a hot witch. Our response? "I swear it was all for you so I could marry you! Plus, your dad has like twenty wives, I thought you would be cool with this." :heysexy:

There are so many ways taking her along can go wrong. I'm tempted to vote along with everyone else, but at this point even if I don't I think our mind has been made up.

Ok.

1. A - stealth is good, even if it's only partial stealth.

2. M - let's not have King Dad have to disown/stone us because we insist on sneaking around with witches, the last one of which destroyed a good portion of the city. If we are going to be asking Lullya (I can't spell)'s friends to come with they will certainly let slip we are associating with Indor's daughter.

Plan Lanky Coconut will not work because Indor already said she would not send her daughter if it was just us alone with Snarls.

Edit: unless now you guys are planning on kidnapping her and dragging her along, in which case..?

Bringing Puabi is only so she can maximize our profits selling to Indor, and thus maximize Indor's profits. She isn't going to be flinging fireballs or casting healing on our men, plus having an attractive female out with a band of men (who will be on edge) is asking for trouble. Indor doesn't know about hunting or what our chances will be out there, she feels reasonably sure that with 15 men Puabi will be safe enough. And incidentally, when the poo poo hits the fan I'm sure Puabi will have some magical amulet or potion that will save her rear end and leave us all to rot.

Also it came to mind that the king is making it harder for us to marry Naomi because he wants us to fail and we were getting too close. Naomi will be used to solidify the relationship with one of the other cities through marriage when/if we fail, Diog said as much in one of his posts. King dad noticed we were getting too close to the bride price that Ishamel leveraged him into offering in the first place, and so upped the ante. I mean, he says we are his son and I'm sure he means it, but Naomi has more value to him as a bride to an ally city than in being our wife.

Oh, ok, I misunderstood the marriage alliance threat.

Anyway, we should still fight to meet the quota because we taught her the special spot on Snarls that makes the leg kick and he'll never understand if we just give up (not that anyone is saying we should). We can still sell the claws of monsters to Indor on the down low. No need to bring Puabi.

Don't bring the donkeys in the cave.

The last thing you want if you have to beat a hasty retreat from a pissed off Ogre is to have a bunch of stubborn panicking animals in the way, leaving our Balls trapped between an rear end and a...rampaging ogre. I couldn't think of anything naughty sounding

Mr. Wednesday posted:

This is dumb. C - pull out

This is a terrible place to make our stand. There are two side-tunnels that can be used to flank us, and they have enough numbers to keep at it until we are too exhausted to fight on. Pressing on is a bad idea too, and will lead to us in a choke-point, flanked from behind, and surrounded in front by hordes of goblins and an angry ogre on their own turf. I'm calling for a tactical retreat to put us on better footing, not to flee the battle entirely.

Even if we stand our ground or cause a rout of the goblins and ogre, most likely there is a bigger tunnel in the back somewhere of that large cavern we just realized is ahead of us, and the goblins and or ogre will go out that way and eat our donkeys and the five guys we sent out there.

We are in the middle of a tight tunnel and know there are at least two others next to us that goblins could swarm down. If we stand here we will get goblins in front and behind our Balls. It will be extremely difficult to get out. If we go to the end of the tunnel/entrance of the big cavern, the same thing can happen except we'll probably have a massive ogre in front of us trying to smash us like the Hulk. We should retreat to the initial tunnel entrance if we want to make a stand.

If no goblins chase us then we should build a really huge fire inside the front of the cave, or where it splits in three, and just leave.
