When we have settled and have the bodies set up for funeral, make the short ride to a close by cathedral and bring a priest back to give prayer and proper burial. Have the potters begin sculpting small grave stones....Ceramic grave stones? Great idea!
Punch misko's plastic to break it.[3] The Doctor punches the Plastic Covering in the upper right arm, chipping the plastic! Then someone yanks on your ears! Ouch!
Ask for climbing gear[1] You get teased with a grappling hook, then drawn into the machine. Respawn?
Create a blast door for the bunker.[2] Seems like you'd need specialized tools, raw materials, and someone who knew how to maker a blast door.
Type in 'new legs'[5] You get a pair of cybernetic legs! They really improve your quality of life!
Argh. Try, again.First, you'd have to escape from the plastic. And not suffocate. [5] Which you aren't.
Rip off people's ears and build a megaphone out of them.[4v4] You tug on scapheap's ears. They don't come off, but man does it hurt! Speaking of hurting...
Yell.
((Gerhardt is still not Ethan.))((The post before the quoted one had a turn with Gerhardt's name on it which explained that he made it to the commons area, where he was sent to deal with a patient named Ethan.))
And if they can get from those moons to us, they must have spacecraft.QuoteYou misunderstood, they would've fled to the moons from the planets below. They could attack us.Also, as 10ebbor10 said, this system was searched, and any space-based vehicles or any air-based vehicles would be easy to find.Then there's no way that we would be attacked, because you can't exactly march an army to a different planet.
The absence of a point on that reply should have clued you into what I meant.You make a good point on the usefulness of agelessness, but not for gobbos. If they're more skilled, they'll be better able to commit treachery. And what skill would a gobbo know that an elf wouldn't, that would make it worth risking them sneaking up on you at night and slitting your throat?Agelessness gives lots of time to learn how to do something. Thus, elves and goblins alike should be masters at their trades. I'd call that useful.Goblins on balance, perhaps.It's good for the goblin, but not the party. If we've already got a dwarf and a kobold (I consider the ageless thing unimportant for adventuring), why do we need a gobbo? Dwarves are trustworthy, and you can trust a kobold not to do anything worse than steal from you (and they're weak enough that you can easily intimidate them into giving your stuff back if they do), but what's to stop a gobbo from stabbing you in the back while you sleep? They only consider murder to be a personal matter, for Armok's sake! I'd rather trust my life to one of those savage beastmen.
Specific goblins? They're as strong as dwarves, as stealthy as kobolds, and as ageless as elves. That's a successful combination.
"Hi, um...need help with that patient? Also, I was told that there's an Ethan in need of medical attention?"
((My pleasure, hopefully my tenure will be longer than that of the previous applicant))((Don't kill me. That's a good start.))
Threats of orbital bombardment would be pretty dang effective. Almost as much so as finding somewhere else on this almost completely uninhabited world to live.Because orbital bombardment is absolutely devastating and probably viewed as a last resort.And why would they rely on ground attacks? Or even use them?This moon has a breathable atmosphere along with water, which would allow some survivors of whatever killed the planets to be able to live on the moon, resorting to what the Ultor Scientists of Red Faction did, becoming marauder-like.As well, guys if nothing else think on this: if it turns out we DO need a militia and we don't have one, throiwing one together at that time might be a little late. It's also not like they are going to be drilling 24/7, they can do other things(like they are doing now).Again, I'm not for disbanding the militia, just not expanding it. (I'm also Pro-Have-Someone-Explain-When-A-Bunch-Of-Infantry-Would-Be-Useful, BTW.)

Take the dead back, some of the brigands may of been wanted and we must bury the dead with honor.+1
Full name: Tobuscus JaraSounds fine.
Usual name: Jara.
I think everyone is happy with that?
Also watch the skies. Beware blue centaurs.Full name: Tobuscus JaraVerily. Maybe he can start a Chaos cult amongst some of the smaller hamlets in the EoT.
Usual name: Jara.

EDIT: But we'll have to gift him with plentiful magic, of all out spheres. And see if we can get some of our other friends to pitch in.
It's not a Hork-Bajir. Hork-Bajir are not turtles. I read those books too, and as best as I can remember, they're Wookies with swords for arms.Not exactly.
Okay, okay. Lets compromise between all of us.Since when does "compromise" mean "completely different solution"?
We shall name him Siafu.
It is the name of a dangerous African ant species.

Toby?Named after Tobias. Not a Hork-Bajir name.
