Find cleanish water.
Then gather it.

Point. Say word.

Sorry to break up this lovers' spat, but what color is the Engineer's hair?

What other gods want us? And how many gods would shun us for worshipping Nocteclaw, but not for being a night troll

Who knows? Maybe even Sol  will accept us under certain conditions. We know almost nothing about the Pantheon.

Well, we do know that Sol hates Nocteclaw and presumably hates all servants of Nocteclaw. We also know that night trolls were created from Nocteclaw. Therefore, it's a fair guess that followers of Sol who don't run from us will have a kill-on-sight mentality.

derails aside, can we have some consensus on elf-murder techniques for the immediate future?

Stab them with the spear?
...It's late, cut me some slack.

Actually, Hera is a goddess of cows, among other things.

Yeah, see?
Each pantheon had their own deities for their own stuff.  All the gods have a sphere, there's not a 'housewife' sphere.  (Actually, is there?)
I mean come on, why can't you accept the fact that she's a strong cow god that don't need no man?

Because she was basically goddess of the 'housewife' sphere.

Not mutually exclusive with the cow thing.
I've never heard of Hera being a cow goddess though, so...*shrugs*

Think. Try to determine a way to increase my pool.

Murder

But we're on the same side! Why would you...wait...you mean I should kill someone?

No, I mean it's the only currently certain method of increasing your pool. There are definitely words for it, but those could take upwards of twenty turns to find. If you want increased pool, your best bet would be killing someone and putting the point in Channeling.

Okay. Any suggestions on people you don't mind me killing?

For both of our safeties, I think that is a conversation best had in PM.

_{They're watching...}

...You could have just said "no one" here.
And do all of those subs cause extra effect?

Anyways, go to north stairs and walk up.

The artifact spear can use earth magic right?  Good chance to practice using it by creating a pit?

Oh, I thought you meant to put it in the pit as a spike.

Also its dark outside but with boarded windows the inside of the house should be dark so illusions should still be applicable.  At least that's my take on it.

It's dark, but dawning.

Anyway even without the illusions, pits with spikes and covered up with foliage/leaves/sticks could be used as a trap and is something that can be done well enough in real life for hunting animals so why not people/elves.

Elves are intelligent enough to have heard of this kind of trap, old enough to learn how to recognise it, and magical enough to chat with trees about its presence. Still a good idea.

What, a night troll can't determine what pragmatic choices are?

What is more pragmatic, getting an ally to ensure own survival, now or making long term world conquering plans?

Varies on situation and goals, and they're not mutually exclusive.

Story says so. Find an update when we learned that kelpmier is a mermaid

...Could you at least provide a page?

Geez. Why do you assume that worshipping Nocteclaw and showing some devotion means that we're slaves to him/her? It's like real religions, except that the god is real. How many Christians would consider themselves or act like slaves to God?

L.O.L.  Many Christians (most?) do call themselves slave of God. It's not common in Western Christianity (servant of god is used, instead) , but it is very common in Orthodox Christianity and included in many prayers. Muslims call themselves in the same way.
And Nocteclaw is surely much more tyrannic than Christian God (ninja'd)

A. Not all, though. Many just consider themselves children of God. I know, I listened to the sermons and read the Bible. Long story. Point is, not everyone is a slave.
B. Yes, because she's been so commanding to us so far and/or will reward faith with punishments and demands...

But yeah, I don't think there's anything wrong with not ticking off Nocteclaw.  I mean, you guys wouldn't be atheists if you knew God existed.  I am fairly certain no one would knowingly piss off a god.

But we have  many gods here, while some will not accept us like worshiper, some will do. Nocteclaw admitted that he\she is weak.

What other gods want us? And how many gods would shun us for worshipping Nocteclaw, but not for being a night troll (literally BORN from Nocteclaw's dangly bits?)

In reply to the GreatWyrmGold, well I'm pretty new to this whole thing but I thought you could use the dark/shadow magic stuff to create illusions.  Granted only when it's dark, so we might have to board up windows and all the other exits besides the main door to keep the inside dark but I think some people were suggesting that course of action regardless.  Our group could hide in nearby trees, the less stealthy members further away with the most stealthy close to the house to set it on fire and pick off survivors.  We could also dig a pit, possibly with our artifact spear within the house.  Said pit could be covered up with an illusion as well so that they walk right into it.  The bottom of the pit could have wooden spikes, or maybe a dangerous animal (yeti lol).  On another note, I am against using the left stone on the lesbian (whose name I forget).  I do feel that she should be turned at some point preferably soon but the left stone simply fails to play to any of her strengths and it could be used better.

You can use dark manipulation more or less that way, but dawn is breaking and I'm not sure how exact the illusions are. Why would we put our artifact spear in the pit? I'm also against using the Left Stone on Alice, unless maybe she's willing to have lots of kids despite her nature.
