Why is it so defensible? And why is it "plot-relevant"?

Either way what you need to consider is why we stopped here specifically on the border of territory claimed by a hostile group.
I understand that; what I don't understand is why we're going deeper in.

Why are we leaving the paradise to go deep into gnoll territory?
We aren't leaving it.  We're going deeper into it, I thought. 
We are? Don't we have two days of travel left?

We stopped here because it's night time. Don't wanna walk around unknown territory in the dark. Not far to go now and you'll get a couple of things to do along the way.
And the reason we're not time-skipping is probably because we're going to make first contact with the gnolls, monsters, or somesuch before we actually reach our destination to reinforce that this is terra incognita.
No, I mean why aren't we settling here? The GM described it as follows:
As night begins to set in, the caravan arrive at the edge of the Llanwrton Vale. Looking out over the land in front of them, the group discover the land trully does look like a paradise.
Why are we leaving the paradise to go deep into gnoll territory?

...Depends on the dagger. Can you aim for the eye easily and is it certain to be a slit? No and no.
If it's a hole, it's still easy. And it's a hell of a lot easier than aiming for a nonexistent neck-hole.

Also im pretty sure neotherm can vaporise a battlesuit...
More "melt through," but yeah, deployed correctly it would be devastating against them.

Id be willing to give you a token for your efforts and im not trying to necro the argument but you did jip me two tokens by deciding all loot goes to the communal pool when i was the only one who found anything of value. To you it was only two tokens you could use in your attempt to pay 30 players but that was my first piece of loot with actual value, hell if you had asked me i probably would have offered you half its value after repair and resale, you probably would have gotten 2 or 3 tokens still and id have been able to get the sense of achievement from sellng that first piece of loot which is now forever denied to me.
And no GWG before you bring up your mmorpg analogy again it doesnt apply, Auron is in no way a rogue and that cloak wasnt in a locked chest. It was in full view of everyone cycling through its different disguises, i was merely the only person to think "hold on a sec, that thing still works!"
No, you went "I look for loot!" and piecewise gave you that.
And seriously, you lost. Live with it.

piecewise pretty heavily implied that they would work if I had a way of dispersing them.
Hard data > speculation

(in this case, Hard data = thorough VR testing)
True enough, but I'd say piecewise's statement is pretty close to hard data...and without any data of any kind suggesting otherwise, it's a good working assumption until I get time to confirm.

Indeed?
I meant that you could do some research yourself so you can really work out that project, including the exact mix and such.

Indeed.

Also much better armored. And you can fit a dagger into any slit you can see out of.

I'm so confused.
You think YOU'RE confused?

"This is an excellent place. We're settling down in this area, correct?"

((Finally, my character might be able to do something! Anything important I missed in the past...~10 pages?))
((I asked if you wanted me to try to train you in polearms. Another summon was put into a pokeball binding. Kyle flirted at people.))
So...eh, not much?
Carl would have politely declined, explaining that he doesn't intend to spend his time in direct combat, instead spending time making everyone else better or else making it unneeded.

Lucien looks over at Carl, "Still have two days of journey to go. We are just stopping here for the night."
Gorram it. Why aren't we stopping in Paradise Valley, again?

((wait so picknic is over, damn))
I was just running the past and the present in parallel.

Power: Anything that is able to rot that comes in contact with Alice's skin begins to do so at a rapid rate
Powers are typically more...active than this.
And if you were trying to dissuade Kyle...condoms and healing spells. Or just stopping before intercourse.
And, um, clothes can rot.

Of course, you COULD use the boring definition, but I prefer that one, or reword it to 'any BIOLOGICAL substance' or something like that, as that requires it have at one point been alive.
...which includes anything made from petroleum.
Or coal/natural gas/etc, but who makes anything from those?

I do want to make it work on food though and things like that.
Wouldn't she starve?

well then she used the wrong word :P and that's fine, I just don't like being called an idiot when I'm right and can prove it definitively.
Preach it, brother!

Awkwardness!
Yup!
Angel lets go of Alistair and stares at her feet.

There is a pause.
<That means you would count as a fully sentient being. OH MY GOD THIS ISN'T WHAT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO DO BUT IT'S EXCITING!>
<"Exciting" isn't how I'd describe it. Oh, and Kyle, you've got another kid to teach right and wrong to.>

<Then we would rot with our own dead cells. I think.>
<Nope. The dirt-repelling chemical would fall off with the skin.>

"How many times has your organic skin be pierced? And how many electro magnetic pulses were you subjected to? Statistics are your friend."
<On the other hand, how much damage does a piercing do to organics compared to what EMPs do to robots? Besides, most threats we face have ways of dealing with inorganic beings.>

"I have no soul. When I die, I remain dead."
<How do you know you have no soul?>

"Why are you so sadistic?"
 "Because I can be."
<You might wanna get that looked at.>
[To: Marie] <HEY, MARIE! How are your skills in psychoanalyzing artificial intelligences?>

meanwhile I discovered Scott Manley did a mission to the Mun without altimeter and speedometer, using only the iva view.

 :o
Isn't there an altimeter in the IVA?
And I, for one, haven't really used the speedometer except for the attempted SSTO and sometimes when the game recorded me as moving across the surface.

I seem to have returned to the "Cant Take Off" part. I decided to add a couple little rocket engines and a small fuel tank, which let it take off, but well...

...I should have waited for the thing to get to a bit better velocity before trying to level out.

And I should remember to turn on SAS.

Okay, it's unstable.

Maybe I should reconsider this design.

But later, I need to go now.
