We could also make a new mini-chaos-golem-thing which has a hive for the Firejackets and can command them.

For once, I actually agree with Ranger. Trying to make very general items, ones that can fulfill a variety of roles, rather than specialized ones, isn't too effective. Think of it this way.

If you have three squads of infantry, and you don't know if your enemy has tanks, infantry, or aircraft, will you make it so each squad is equally suited to fighting each? No. You're going to make two of them anti-infantry because that's the most likely thing, and one AT/AA.

Alternatively, you make some people who can be the template for either an antitank, antiaircraft, or antipersonnel unit, so it costs less to make whichever one you make when the time comes. That doesn't work so well in the analogy but it works better here!

Ok how about this. I dont start eating my children and replacing all life on the pkanet with squiddles, and my children don't revolt and castrate me, and the universe stays unfucked.

I'm game with that.

Also check that weird guy's inventory.

And Maher is our opponent roleplaywise... It's like your offer to train our mages in necromancy, that was ridiculous

It's not exclusively "He's an antagonist/He's a protagonist." Putting aside fictional examples of seeming antagonists who join the party once the big threats come into play, WWII. Maher's like Russia.

then lets endevour to find about Maher's stance towards the empire of tranquility instead of just straigt out trying to ally with him.

Allying with our old enemy (likely through Krait) seems like a good long-term goal. We don't want an enemy so close; we don't want to anger Krait by crushing him.

I do agree that fighting two fronts at the same time is to be avoided like the plague. but Maher isn't ally material.

Why not?

I forsee us running into real conflict with Maher sooner or later, Before or after the empire of tranquility problem but hopefull not during. Hes got worshippers and we wont have to feel guilty about trying to lure them away from him to give them a better life.

True enough, but I still fail to see why we can't try not to kill him. He's Krait's friend, after all.

Hence why I suggested as a compromise we just start things off by trying to trade with him.  If things go well from there we can see how far we want to take our partnership.

Yeah, don't start by asking to be allies-forever. Start small.

To be fair, she gave up on that on her own voalition

What did you think would happen when you held my mouth shut and covered my nostrils? I would spontaneously plane shift? I technically might have, but not in a way that lets me get back easily...

In the future, can we agree that if someone insults you, Drak, that you just let it go? Like, really. I wasn't doing so great a job convincing the jerkass stubborn bastard august and wise Runemaster to our cause, but it didn't help that for one, no one was helping me, and for two, that someone was actively sabotaging my attempts.

I was not actively sabotaging your attempts! I was...accidentally sabotaging your attempts.
And so long as no one calls Drak a rat, he should be able to contain himself.

And now we're trying to make peace with goddamn demons because it seemed like a more reasonable course than trying to repair the bridge Drak burnt. Although, I'd wager this plan lasts about as long as the 'Convince the Dwarves' gambit.

Wait, talking to demons would have been a worse idea than dealing with dwarves, who hate two* members of our party with a passion simply because of their race? And they'd possibly cast out two others** if they knew about their powers?
*In theory, they should hate Raiss as much or more than Drakruldus.
**The other casters, who have...unnerving powers.

Bay12: Where the most powerful god is insane, and shortly after coming into existence his children start plotting to kill him.

Only to have the next generation do the same.

Which is why I intend not to have kids.
