...Yeah, find some better way to put it.I suggest we call his race the Jaras and say something like: "We were hoping for a scout and assassin, but did not realize we would be making a new race. Please feel free to make yourself at home here, but first I'd like to invite you to a competition among my other greatest followers."Don't tell the newly sentient being that it was an accident, please.
Zanzy and his lackeys.Oh, right.
I think I've already written why I don't like it.All those cliches that are actually there on purpose due to the high concentration of meta-based jokes?
Well, I tought we would have an Ineffectual Villian group à la Team Rocket?Elves? Kobolds? Elbolds?
Just to be clear, I support this idea as well. "Jaras" was the idea for the species name, since so many name suggestions included "Jara" in them.+1, may as well. He may hear something he likes.Here is an idea what about we just give the species a name and his purpose in this world. Then, let him come up with a name.+1
Chocolate?..... I would thing those bodywear would be useless compared to an aura of steel((Your auras amuse me... No matter what's on the outside, it's the inside that's going to explode violently and kill you. But I'm going to try to avoid murdering anyone without a good reason from now on. ))
Or steel wall aura....
Do we have enough crops to pay all our taxes and feed everyone through the whole winter?Guys.... We need to pay off the town's taxes using those golden coins, and possibly even some potteryActually, why? we can pay it just fine in crops, and because the cot of the crops is ambiguous, we may get squeezed for more coin than needed. Lets use the coins to get the materials for a still.
Both: Living underground 100% is no small feat, and leaving no trace of your existence even harder. Even if they did, how would they note us and why would they bother attacking? And you didn't counter UkRa's point at all, or even try to.1) Simple, they could have constructed where the Alliance wasn't looking, underground. Scans are only as good as the search parameters. If you do not account for people living in certain areas, you don't know they exist.1. Oh, they teleported here in the meantime?1) Depends on when the last search was.Nope, that was a derelict that was unburied by a sandstorm.Ah.
1)Still, if they're living on this planet, they're at a level where they can't be detected from space. So, no radio, nothing used for light at night, possibly no electronics, no cities or other settlements aboveground...maybe other "nothings" depending on what sensors are available. Also:This system was bombarded during the seperation war 80 years ago. The alliance won, and has been in charge ever since. They have been quite thourough.2)This implies that they know about just about anyone who may live in this system. As no one was mentioned, no one probably exists.
2) Nothing is ever 100% effective, and we were only told what the colonists knew.
2. While the first point may be valid under certain circumstances, this is a planet for colonizing; they'd be detailed and scan a few times while they were here. And why on Terra would the colonists not be informed of potential hostiles?
2) If they didn't know, how could they inform?
Jaras?Here is an idea what about we just give the species a name and his purpose in this world. Then, let him come up with a name.+1
Do you really think it will be that much of a hit, this soon after so many deaths and all? It might take peoples mind off of things though... Hmm. I'm in.
Just maybe not this upcoming month, possibly after it.It's the month after the harvest, we promised it the month after the harvest, it's going to be increasingly cold and nasty next month, and
It might take peoples mind off of things though...
Someone brought this idea up earlier. But yeah, it wasn't well-thought-out. Drop it.You left out the tourney.That might be rather awkward to ask about, and I really don't want to think what would happen if we fumble that discussion.
It should include safe activities that anyone can do, and yet are exciting. Perhaps weightlifting, throwing something, wrestling, stuff like that. Prizes could include kisses from the loveliest maid in town (with her and her father's permission, of course), free food, some mighty fine pottery, or something. All the competitors would join Stone for a drink in the tavern afterwards, and the champions might get a free drink courtesy of Stone.
Thoughts?
Also, a series of fights will not take people's minds off deaths from battle.
Probability doesn't work that way.The dice gods will probably be in our favor after how baddly earlier today went. Statistically.You left out the tourney.That might be rather awkward to ask about, and I really don't want to think what would happen if we fumble that discussion.

Guys.... We need to pay off the town's taxes using those golden coins, and possibly even some potteryYes, we do. Now back to things less obvious.
Yeah, I'm not protesting Tamaracare.I still find it funny that no one has double-crossed our little arcane smith yet. I mean, how easy would it be to kill her bodyguard, offer to be the new one, and just slaughter her once she uses all her pool on some new creation of war?THERE'S A REASON I NOW HAVE EIGHT POOL. IT'S ENOUGH TO MAKE STAVES OF HELP EVERYONE AND KILL THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE FREE HEALTHCARE.
Or, skip all those steps, and just kill her with the demented creation she made for you.
All of the above are deplorable, but the point is to mindlessly slaughter everyone around you so you can become powerful enough to kill the guy wrecking the entire first floor.
