True enough.

Jimma probably won't help a lot with preparation, and since she used to fight for a dwarven fortress is probably pretty experienced with caverns. If we sent her along, they'd probably be fine.

Anyway, I don't actually care much what we do before Foghorn gets here. I'm leaning towards "preparation," but don't feel like arguing over it. Pick your battles...

They're made from random minerals. Castles can be made of NATIVE PLATINUM.
So yeah, not too odd.

Grab the small movingbox again. Press the button again.

(I am typing this on a tablet with a pair of cracks across the screen. Cracks aren't a death sentence.)

Fire book probably not worth a gift... ( But I'd try that if we got a a soul) That could make learning fire magic way easier
Maybe discuss the possibility to make such a book with Gwen? Or extracting Phyros knowledge from the brain in general (BTW, do we know IC that brain = mind? Is it even true for the setting? )

Fire book possible not even possibility.

BTW, I am not sure that family fire magic lesson without Alice is viable... If we don't train her it's a  waste of time. Gwen doesn't really need fire manipulation, except, maybe, for making fire enchantments.

Better to try experiment with the artifact or try level up animal empathy by training lovebirds\looking for owl. Fire magic is not our combat skill. Eon manipulation is. Having two high level combat skills is much less important than improving utility skills

Sounds acceptable.

Gravity, maybe, but the "no friction thing" doesn't sound right.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it that centrifugal force (centripetal?) provides an acceleration mimicking the acceleration from gravity?

Ukranian, you keep throwing around the idea of writing a fire magic book, and i don't mean to be a dick, but i don't think that's how it works. Books about magic are books filled with knowledge, not necessarily magical books, how we enchant the book doesn't matter, what we write in it does.

You completely misunderstood my idea....
Haven't you note that I proposed to use Phyros brain in the enchantment? I want to extract his magical knowledge to the paper
Another option is to make it generate new texts like connecting to some global fire manipulation knowledge base.

I don't think that would work, or be worth it.

As for why female night trolls need traits, I quite suspect that they have a different gift system and their own  traits may be more important. Or may not. 

I suspect not...

And guys, let's not make long term megaplans that need years to become viable. It's not how young trolls think. And Nochteclaw asked us to use the left stone not save it for ages.
Also, we can't be sure that our son will get the same first gift as we did
(And fucking son's wife..... ewwwww)

I agree with pretty much all of this.
It still couldn't hurt to try and push our son down a religious path. It's not wrong, either, unless billions of parents IRL are equally wrong.

And don't be mad, sending Alice and Rox Alone is a way too dangerous. Underground is a dangerous place, it's not wise to not use someone used to caverns.

Well, they're both powerful warriors...but as they're not too used to the caverns and Jimma has nothing better to do, I suggest sending her with. If they'll let Jim a come, of course.

If poorly calculated and balanced, at least.

The advantage of the centrifuge in space rather than on the moon, is near zero energy requirements to maintain artificial gravity. On the moon, that definitely wouldn't be the case.

Um.
Near-zero energy requirements to keep a centrifuge spinning? What universe are you in and how can I join?
And what makes space-centrifuges different than Lunar centrifuges?

Anyway, I think it's obvious that planetary settlements will always be needed. You know, for resources and such? I also suspect that planets will be much, much larger than any space structures we build for a very, very, very long time.
