So, you'd rather anger a powerful wizard who is our only ally than risk having a subpar child?

Well, yes. I am not risk averse. Besides I think it's a funnier story and more roleplayish

If I had my LIFE at stake, and that of my species, no way I'd risk angering Foghorn for no good reason. Just have Alice chat with him. Possible anger vs. certain rage...

Quote

He's got years of a head start and knows more about the world as it is. And you want to abandon all we have just so you can do the nasty with Foghorn's daughter?

1) Years of head start mean little, when we advance skills fast. Also in two month time he may need to fight with more than one night troll
2) If(when) we  start hunting elves, we will need to change our base anyway.

1. You're making assumptions, such as "Night trolls learn dozens of times as fast as humans," "We'll be able to learn as well as Foghorn did despite not having a regular teacher," and "We'll be able to find/grow new night creatures quickly in those two months, and no one will hunt us, and they will risk their lives for us."
2.) Why? They have several big settlements right near our tower.

Yes, because Foghorn will not go looking for her and definitely hasn't been taking every precaution he can to be able to find her again, especially since she's gallivanting about with a night troll.

He has many daughters and is a pretty busy person to look out after his ranger daughter constantly.

It's getting old... Not  that any of us will change his mind, and we overflood the topic

He doesn't have to look out for her constantly, just have a spell that lets him scry on her easily or something. If I was a wizardly father, I'd develop such a spell by the time my first child was 3. If I hadn't, I'd figure it out later, by the time my kids were hunting in dangerous woods or hanging out with more dangerous beings.

Well, if we MUST impregnate someone...
DON'T IMPREGNATE THE DAUGHTER OF A POWERFUL WIZARD!

Oh, yes, let's impregnate a random peasant girl. It's safer, nothing else matter

So, you'd rather anger a powerful wizard who is our only ally than risk having a subpar child?

It's true in DF

Do we have eon manipulation skill in DF? DF doesn't have interspecies breeding not because it's world doesn't have it, but because it's unimplemented. Anyway, only GM can answer that.

Pretty sure it was implied. Still, what kind of non-stupid plan do you have that relies on that detail?

Quote

Don't bet your life on your chickens before they've hatched. Ten bucks says Foghorn's had longer than two months to gather his strength...

He is a mere human. We should get stonger. Another possibility - we will be far away

He's got years of a head start and knows more about the world as it is. And you want to abandon all we have just so you can do the nasty with Foghorn's daughter?

And third - Alice will leave her father for some excuse, because she is not a moron, and know that she will be punished for that pregnancy

Yes, because Foghorn will not go looking for her and definitely hasn't been taking every precaution he can to be able to find her again, especially since she's gallivanting about with a night troll.

The naturalists along with a soldier will continue exploring and will look into the habits of the rabbits. (We're both grown men. What will the rabbits do, fuzzy us to death? This isn't Monty Python...)

I was more concerned with the upper levels of the food chain...

Islands tend to have smaller creatures.
Still, if you insist...
"Make sure it's a quiet soldier this time. Last time I went hiking with one of those buffoons they trampled a unique-looking orchid before I could examine it and scared off some sort of smallish reptilian creature which looked fascinating. Never had I seen a bipedal lizard..."

Quote

we can honestly say that we tried to dissuade her without hurting her feelings

What if Foghorn doesn't believe our words?

Then we'd be screwed no matter what we do. Unless you want to alienate Alice?

Quote

And nix to impregnating Alice without Foghorn's consent,

I think risk\reward ratio is better in secret impregnation then in let's try to get consent
Oh, and hiding from father is a cooler story
Also, I afraid that as we accumulate gifts, our mating urge will rise to the point when it will be impossible to control

Well, if we MUST impregnate someone...

regardless of it's even possible (it isn't).

I'd wait for GM's words. Description of gifts, don't imply that

It's true in DF, and you seem to be the only person here who thinks otherwise.

I imagine her dad would still be pretty upset two months down the line when she gets a visible bump and says

I hope that in two months time we will not care about his mood, because we will be far stronger than him.

Don't bet your life on your chickens before they've hatched. Ten bucks says Foghorn's had longer than two months to gather his strength...

He said that he'll send us a PM containing "cards", and that we shall then PM him our actions.

Ah...haven't gotten it yet.

Uhmm i have just noticed... Two chosens of Xarxas? I have nothing against it but...

Wait who...oh, the ninja.

Yeh, this might be a problem. Two undead kings who rose from humble beginnings to command their own kingdoms, and want to use the power of the tear to bring about a benevolent dictatorship. As is, Xarxas is way too powerful. I see 2 possibilities: one of use changes patrons, or we find a reason to fight each other.

Or...
We could ally with each other.

Nah, I'll change patrons. You posted yours first _{although I suspect I started typing first--I got interrupted} and so I should have the burden of change. I mostly picked Xarxas as fitting slightly better.

Oh, right. Drop the 'Execution' part. Still need to get the knife. Forgot for a moment that rather than be anything useful or capable of survival, 'we' picked a scribe.

I wanted to be a sneaky, knife-using snatcher, but noooo...
