1. Established character is "Former Villain," not "Villain". We are what we make of yourself.

2. There aren't enough legit anything guys at the moment.

Flaming psychos outrank everyone.

Grumble at Stacy and get up.

Well, you know what they say - amnesia is one of the easiest ways to force self-reinvention!
From this day on, you shall be a paragon of all that is good and right. You shall protect the innocent and fight evil wherever you may find it.

Enter the middle room, and look for something that could help us remember the power of ice.

He's eight.

I can add.

Also, I just realized, a squishy character is absolutely useless in a permadeath game. :|

Not absolutely, it's just a less good idea.

((...we're all gonna die...))

Nah, our luck just sucks.

Okay, I know how to check how uranium works in this universe.

1) Tie or tape the sword to the kobold;
2) Tie him up so he can't move;
3) Hang him from a tree (by his legs, we don't want a dead kobold, and neither do we want an escape one);
4) Observe the results in several days.
IT'S A FOOLPROOF PLAN GUYS

For the record, I'm opposed to this plan.

Recall: I suggested giving us the armor, to mitigate backstabs. Even if we presume treachery, which I won't, the kobold can't be stupid enough to just attack us. We've also killed two of his companions with ease, within his sight, and came within a slightly lucky roll of killing him.

Let be polite, I mean if some one thinks were weak because we're polite to a group of unarmed women and children they might be forgetting the whole peasant, turned baron, turned count, who's also married to a dukes niece and on friendly terms with the king.

And/or the "unarmed women and children" thing.

You inquire as to whether Gergal is their biggest chief. She smiles, quite disarmingly. "Yes, he is very big. That is why we call him the Fat."

Told you so.

Agreed. As a practical matter, although not one we necessarily need to mention to Joral, we should have someone we trust as being honest and perceptive check wherever we have them working every so often to make sure that the conditions are being kept good--e.g, no worse than it is for our peasants.
Also say that we intend to do the same with any other prisoners we capture that are not troublesome (e.g, trying to assault us after capture, trying to escape repeatedly, etc). If she asks what we'll do with the troublesome ones, reply that that varies from case to case. It really should--a coward who tries to run once or twice should be treated differently than a firebrand who leads minor rebellions every other day.

We don't need the short sword if we've got a uranium...uranium is better than steel, right?

Using a weapon made of uranium does not sounds healthy for us in the long term.  Maybe we should keep it to sell it to someone who doesn't know what radiation is.

Specifically noted and handwaved.

Uranium is extremely heavy.

We're sitting on a dog, it'll bother us less than it would the cutebold.

And radioactive. The radiation shouldn't bother us much - it's alpha particles,

Aside from physics, the GM's handled the handwave.

but uranium is also pretty toxic. You probably shouldn't hold it in your hands for too long or breathe in its vicinity.

Don't we have gauntlets and such?

So uranium really isn't better than steel to make a sword out of. Very few things are better than steel to make swords out of. You could use uranium for anti-materiel bullets and such, but not swords.

From the genre where Iron>Bronze, I don't think that this is much of an issue. Especially since IRL, swords were as much to break bones as to cut people.*

Assuming that we've divvied up the gear:

Head north. Wonder how we got in without a nearby exit.</sub>

I thought Alistair was 11 or so.
