// Are you done with your little discussion about morality and roles of humans and dragons in fiction?Actually, the humans were only brought in to disprove the validity of Xantalos's reasoning.
There's another word in the middle."For future generations, Harbinger of Cold"?"For futu tions, , Harbi f Cold"
Awww, they named us!
Well, we can't go turning down such a generous gift!
You intend to use necromancy and complicated mechanisms driven by bones brought back to life to put on puppet shows? That's insane!((Yeah, just to save us the hassle of physically attaching bones to ourselves. Also in case we want to start a marionette show that features skeletal puppets suspended by chords of spinal bone. If it works we can then step up the experimentation and usage. Or you know, if we find the right apparatus, we could create a skeletal hand-puppet that uses a system of air pumping mechanisms, thin leather and chords to simulate speech so that we'd be able to communicate via reverse ventriloquy. After all, we might have to narrate our skeletal puppet shows.))((Hmm... we could always try Icewalling our wings though it might not work let alone last long enough for stealthy flight...))
Detach and reattach our new second tail, try and discern the process that allows us to gain control over attached bone. Attempt to deduce a method for increasing our control range to be able to move bones that are very close to us yet aren't actually attached to us. If it succeeds, repeat the tests at the same distance except with solid objects between us and the bones.
So basically a superficial form of necromancy?
Boral, Mardak. That's the sound of goats....What kind of goats have you been around?
Second impression. These are Dothraki that ride the wooden horse across the big salt water. It is known, Count Stone.Interesting.
Third impression. Luther had better get used to this arrangement. Perhaps if he eventually takes a shine to this saucy little number we can give him Joral as a war prize.Um...sure?
And let's not leave behind essentially a human rights advocate to oversee their imprisonment. That's silly.Who suggested that?
"Someone we trust" has a million better uses in the middle of a damned war than babysitting a bunch of needy prisoners. These people are going into a oubliette until we can safely implement plans for integration. I'm tired of how needy these dirty savages are becoming. We are fighting a war for our survival. I don't see the recognition that this is an existential threat.How few people do we have we can trust? How many of them have skills that are useful to the war effort?
Hopefully we can catch up to the Duke soon. Let's bring a large load of oil. People wanted to experiment with gunpowder, but I think fire can substitute well enough.Agreed...wait, what? Agreed.
Meanwhile, we may as well begin learning Goat-speak. Joral can instruct us, with fighting words like "weak" "scared" "fight" and various insults being a priority.That's not pandering too much to the dirty savage heathen foreigners?
Form the word 'Pisa' from letters hoping that some random nearby tower or tower-like object will fall onto skeletons.-1, that's a waste of letters among other issues.
