A combination of C and D.

Seriously, this has "bad news" written all over it, but we are superheroes, we should be able to get through this, but lets get Snarls out of the way.

Just as a quick thing to everyone though, you don't think the thing behind the wall might have "influenced" aaron do you? Because if that is what people believe has happened I recommend we run and don't stop till we hit mountains.

For once in my life I wish Goons did not have a Socratic understanding of morality and just stop loving about with the obvious question people do not want to answer.

We'll probably find out anyway at some point, so stop pestering anyone in a position of authority to tell you when you keep getting the same answer. You wouldn't keep bothering someone who'd said that they "don't want to talk" about a personal problem, so why do we insist on doing it here.

Because it's our problem.

Were 13 foot tall and built like a brick out house, we are obviously going to be some seriously hot poo poo and more than capable of being a help to most of the people in the city and elsewhere. I fail to see why we need to know this information in order to do good, and why it matters so much to everyone.

We were conceived and born and will die, it doesn't fundamentally matter who our father is as long as we can keep helping our community and growing stronger. Once we are capable we'll most likely find out anyway, either through villainous monologuing or through simple research later in life. We're not exactly going to be short lived and I somehow doubt that Ish is either.

Preferably before, since we cannot poop and as such will have completely destroyed everything. But we've been doing good(ish) deeds for some time now, and at least personally, I am very in favour of it continuing.

It might "matter" but, ultimately, did luke have to go looking for his dad or asking everyone about him?

He sure as hell asked, but he didn't go out looking for the guy, nor should he have he kind of had a rebellion to assist. Which is what we should be doing,not the rebellion bit but the assisting bit, not constantly badgering people. Most likely our dad will make an appearance anyway at some point seeing as how he is so important.

Maybe it works that only the lesser blooded get 6, whereas we get the same number. Remember Ish only has 5 after all and he is stupidly powerful.

Speleothing posted:

Or maybe only dudes individuals who are Blooded from the line of Labaras get 6 fingers.

That could well be true. I mean from the title of the thread I am kind of hoping that we end up being in charge of some sort of heaven clash.

1-F

We tell Adopted dad that we are currently helping the potter and think that we can make more pots overall (and better ones) if we share the labour out. Plus look at home nice the pots are.

2-G

Sacrifice stuff to El's temple and try and convince them to hand out more heals.

4-PPQ

Lets at least get some basics with the spear so we aren't stabbing ourselves in the foot with it.

5-U

I can't remember. Is it nerds or geeks who obsess about the difference of meaning between "nerd" and "geek?"

Its kind of like the difference between Stalinists and Maoists. To the people who are part of the groups the identity is everything. To those outside it the differences are so small you couldn't separate them with a fine comb.

As two minor questions to Diog, one to do with the game first: How good will we be with a spear if we spend some time learning how to use it? If we spend the month or so learning, how good will we end up being?

And second, could you give any advice on CYOA writing to people who are perhaps considering it?

Whilst I agree in part I think we should still build up a militia here, just make it clear to the people (as much as possible) that they may well die, but that they are going for glory and the potential spoils of monster corpses and anything except for foreskins.

They may think differently if we don't make it clear to them, but if they are determined to risk their own lives for glory and wealth then who are we to stop them? Plus it gives us something we can use later, having a well trained group of buddies that we can rely on is always going to be important even if/when we become king.

I mean we need to be trained in spearing stuff in the eye first of course, before we start leading people, so we may not have enough time.

(Hey, there's an idea: Bloodedness is simply a matter of having the Y chromosome, which Blooded people have more of. Being Blooded means you have a higher chance of ripping off the Y chromosome from the children you birth until you got a giant pile of them ready to jam onto the next kid! Might is in fact an expression of pure masculinity!

Or maybe that's just extremely stupid.)

Seemingly forgetting that there were human and goblin skulls next to the altar. It's not like the goblins were part of a commune and taking part in drum circles.

Saying that, Diog do we actually see anything like a soul leaving any goblin?

Because the "obviously creepy ritual" may have actually gotten worse if we had intervened, any of the Norcs could have gotten access to the altar, any of the sacrifices would have been fine etc etc.

Choosing the safer option is not all that bad considering how much everyone was shouting at everyone else about letting us get "killed" at the temple.
