It's looking like Necromancy is a no-go, but I think we should try and test out if we do indeed have any sort of "destructive powers" against the Dead.

Two words: Zombie Hadouken.

They're not just faster, they can literally rip people limb from limb. :stonk:

That's a major upgrade, the villagers need all the help they can get.

Why would they keep me from you?
Why did I live when everyone I've ever known was slaughtered?"

E. We want truth, we want answers. We won't get them throwing daggers or accusations. We learn, then act upon that knowledge.

Supporting all this.

A god so fickle and capricious as to murder over a poorly-worded oath should earn no fealty.

I agree, but we've only just come into our powers and sassing her in her own home might be hazardous to our health.

The Duchess is still smiling. "Yours is the power to break and destroy, to unbind and unweave, to shatter worlds. With the right teaching and right action, there is nothing you cannot destroy."

I like where this is going.

McSpanky: Jan 16, 2005

You guys aren't thinking laterally! Obedience and fealty are not the same thing, this is a prime opportunity to learn the dark arts ~~totally not to betray and replace our master at the top of the food chain srsly~~ from the mistress herself. We can always go on a walkabout but this might be our only chance to get our Vader on.

E- become the Duchess' apprentice

Being a top dog in the supervillain world means lackeys and minions to do your dirty work, it's a perk not a flaw.

I'd go for A if not for those walls on our power we just found. Hope that's not the Duchess' work.

Whatever the source, chiseling cracks in a dam when we have no idea of how deep a reservoir it's holding back probably isn't wise.

Good catch:

DD. THIS IS NOT THE GUY. (or he's really well disguised and pulling some weird mindgame)

This is a trick and might even be dangerous. We should stay away and move on.

Hmm, switching to DD. This guy's probably an obstacle, better move on to the real objective.

Going to need all the favour we can get with the Duchess for her to accept this poo poo.

Surely we're having Mr. Sprinkles assume the role of the man he ate for the time being? Regardless, A

Clearly she knows, so let's just tell the truth.

F. Tell her Mr. Sprinkles ate the servant, so we've fulfilled (the spirit of) our orders, we brought back the (remains of the) servant.

Yep, deception's off the table, better come clean.

We were probably supposed to flex our muscle a little and treat the Dead in the swamp as an opportunity, not an obstacle. Guess we picked a few oopsie daisies instead.

3. F - With a caveat that I'll leave my boat a day's walk away from the village and appear to walk in despite the fact that I actually haven't

Sounds good.

2.B, but we burn, or otherwise destroy if we can't hide the smoke, and sink the boat. Don't want to leave it there as evidence of our deception. Their god or someone of their people might find it and use it do discredit us.

Interesting information gained from spying, and she DIDN'T seem to notice. So we can continue to do so. Another one before us, her daughter? She doesn't seem to have this kind of feelings for us, yet.

At some point in the future search for information about Psychopoms in the library

All of this.

Man, now I wonder if maybe we shouldn't be so anti-Duchess after all.

Yorkshire Tea posted:

Like, I don't feel like I can hate her that much any more.

I know, that was pretty harsh. There's some humanity in there after all, maybe we can try reaching it after this mission.

That doesn't really happen here in my experience, if someone starts a game here it's generally with the expectation of a reasonably good-faith playing experience, whether the tone's silly or serious.
