Do snares count? I'd imagine Alice is good at those.

Just let them at it, then set up some more tricks while Gwen eats.

Oh wow, my bad. Math's off.

Well then, detecting at a mere 10,000 kilometers seems more reasonable, and leaves 12 minutes. Of course, even five minutes (plus a ship watchman supplemented by a computer watching stuff) would be enough, since the projectile is small enough to not have any danger except by a direct hit. Assuming a ship no more than 100 meters, five minutes would mean that to move the ship 2 ship-lengths away from its current path in time would require 40 m/sē of acceleration, or around 4 G's of acceleration. Remember, though, that this requires under 5,000 kilometers of detection radius (smaller than it sounds, with such things as radar and space on your side) as well as having to move twice the ship's length out of the way; a mere G of acceleration would take them out of the way in time.

Not ideal, but unless there's an attack every week or two, most of the time the ammo should be well on its way away from the planet. After a day, the projectile at your estimated speed would be 9.5 MILLION kilometers away. That's about 6% of an AU by my calculations, which is a rather notable number even in space. Since the shots that hit aren't much of an issue, and the misses would all be going in one direction, not too bad.
Which brings me to another point: Most of the time, the navy would be able to estimate where the cloud of missed shots would be, giving ships well beyond detection radius to evade.

Well, let's get an interrogation plan planned, since no one is against interrogating our prisoners.

I suggest we do it personally. Gwen can set up some traps, she's good with nature magic.

Alright, now about mates.

I suggest feeding one prisoner to Gwen, converting another quickly, and then securing the last with both bindings and at least two kinds of magic (say, eon manipulation and plant empathy?), and setting our new consort to guard the prisoner. Once we beat our pursuers, we can decide whether to convert the last prisoner or feed her to Gwen, but we don't want to feed her two people at once. I'm guessing that would put her around the equivalent of 3-4 months pregnant, which is not a time you want to be fighting...

Why does no one want two new consorts? Is there a time limit between conversions I forgot, or do people just not want to spend the time right now to convert two? I can agree with that, but if a night troll, two consorts, and Alice can't figure out how to bind an elf and then transport her to the tower I'll eat my avatar. Also bear in mind that eating a couple of screaming elven women will probably add the equivilant of a few months to Gwen's pregnancy...

That's why i said to let Gwen eat one and convert the other 2. Also if we are going to interrogate them do we get to know their skills,traits,names,Etc?
Yay, someone agreed with me!
Anyways...names, skills, history, rumors heard, family, property, faith...anything they'll tell us, focusing on skills and such and what they've heard.

Kresth is Cassandra's T. rex, which ate Xantalos-Thing and became a Thing before Doomblade exploded it, himself, Cassie, Xantalos, and Furtaka with those nuclear bullets. The pistol didn't survive the explosion. Stupid Alpha Complex products...

1. I mean not go to tower

2.As a former elf and member of that society Gwen knows better. Besides we trust our wife, besides we want her to be happy with sister wife... And letting her doing the job may let us prepare better ambush  Oh, let me guess min-maxing says that she may choose a suboptimal mate.

3. So what? Let Alice decide if she consider gift good or not. Let's learn what she really thinks about the conversion  Or let's not pretend that we respect her as a friend.  Or you are afraid that Alice will show interest in the left stone gift? Why is so? It's not like that we'll be forced to convert her
1. Ah. Agreed.
2. Ask her opinion, but also listen in on the interrogation and make the final choice. Ideally, two of them would make good wives and Gwen would be fine with one. It's also possible that eating both would make her too pregnant to fight well, without miscarrying...
3. I'd prefer not to insult Alice by asking if she wants a subpar gift not suited to her without at least one good gift. Besides, is now really the time?

Interrogate all of them and the one we hate the most or isn't worthy to live feed it to Gwen. Then use the others for your pawns/slaves and they will have to follow your orders or die.
Or, you know, convert them. Just a thought.

Stay here and prepare an ambush sounds like the best option.
Interrogate all three prisoners, then let Gwen eat the two of them we want least as a consort.
I thought we agreed to stop discussing converting Alice until someone other than Ukrainian Ranger brings it up.
Of course, at the moment it's unanimous.
Why let her eat two?
Oh, right.

i agree with discussing it with alice herself. it would probably settle the matter
Wait for safety, and ideally a better gift.

Axeroth gets to work again...


The communicating cell colonies begin to enlarge and specialize. Some develop tentacles on their outer surfaces. They drift about, snagging food with their tentacles a la cnidarians. They are Capillusalcyoneumites, probably the longest name given so far.
Viridipetrans develop leaflike appendages and the ability to survive better with parts of its body out of water. They grow partly out of water at times.
Some provenators are swept out of the tide pools into the open ocean and promptly evolve to prey upon the local creatures, including a modification of some of its claws into finlike appendages. I'll let the GM name these.
Finally, some poisonous cell colonies begin to develop actual structure, becoming elongated creatures with two layers of cells. The inner layer is specialized in feeding and reproduction, while the outer layer specializes in locomotion and defense. They are the Vedmiculums, and their half-millimeter forms wriggle through the sea, filtering out smaller plankton and such. The poisonous organelles within are used for defense.


((There's no such thing as enough rare elements! Not until gold is used in bullets and silver is a foundation for houses!))

I suggest we quickly interrogate the elves. Assuming they're all female, we'll make our choice(s) of mates afterwards.

If the guard's male, give him to Gwen and interrogate the others.

...Double-ninja'd.
Guard is female, I think.
Dang.
In that case, interrogate everyone. Then choose a snack for Gwen.

Reverting to my old style of suggestions, new doesn't work and I like lists :)

I propose:

1) Stay here, wait for the attack
2) Let Gwen do have fun with prisoners, tell she should eat two, and choose one that she should like to see as a sister-wife, then leave her alone (I don't think that she'll became much more pregnant as a result, so should be combat-fine)
3) Spend that time night talking with Alice, tell her about all our current gifts (not only the ones that we consider giving to her due to minmaxing) , ask her about  her life plans, her views on chilbirth and option how to avoid wraith of her father if we choose (Be we  I mean the troll and Alice) to not do any kind of conversion
4) setup some kind of ambush, all members of our party are stealthy
1. Use time productively.
2. No, no. Interrogate prisoners then choose someone to feed to Gwen. That way we not only get more info but also a better choice on mate. Or mates.
3. Not yet, we don't have any good ones yet. Well, no gifts good for Alice.
4. Sensible.

Wield Goblins as weapons. Break out of laptop.
[4] Two servant goblins are wielded as weapons. [2] The fourth wall is intact.

Jumpkick the button and think of prosthetic arms that can be attached at will and work just as well as real arms
[3] You get a single arm. Um.

Shoot SCP with arrows.
[1+1] Shooting near it count?

Respawn thinking of pistols.
[6] Experimental pistols from Alpha Complex.

Destroy all SCPs with the power of skepticism.
Make golem loyal to me. And bigger.

[3] You destroy some SCPs, including 1030-1. You can't make it loyal to you anymore.

Find out what planet we are on.
[5] You are on...um...get back to me.

SPAWN AS A SPARK, WITH AN ALL-PURPOSE TOOL.
[1] It's a malfunctioning tool. Sentiently malfunctioning.

GM Turn:
Kresth? attacks Doomblade. [2v6] He shoots back, firing nuclear bullets which annhilate both, as well as [1,2,5,6,1] Cassandra, Furtaka, and Xantalos. Respawn?

I imagine the drones as an economy military until we can secure some nearby mineral deposits.
