That story was touching, so I made this.

Oh gods, they got to Bay12 as well! And what makes it worse is that it's totally true - take an arrow to the spine and yer down. Unless it's the lower spine. Then you're just a permanent cripple.

At least all sentients in DF are smart enough to have armor for the lower body...

Yeah, make friends with the best that ate several fo our elves, is a titan, and who we trapped. That'll work real well.

Situation: We have casualties, the titan is in a cage [which works as a static forcefield keeping it from harming others] yet there are gaps which we can converse with it.

We have miles yet to traverse of open land and we haven't yet encountered any other sentients other than our main objective. We must at least try to befriend it, it may prove useful.

In all essence of that, if I was made an elf then let me be the one to try [or die] in taming the titan.

Halmie I haven't seen any recent post at all from you on your views of the matter.



[Also, ICs can still post even when dead right?]

Why would a raisin want something to strike you as creepy?
Shriveled grapes are scary...Imaging getting all your liquids sucked out and your dried corpse eaten.

Actually, something like that got my hospital dwarf. He died of depression in his hospital bed. Nobody bothered to move the corpse or even enter the hospital to take care of the rest of them as they were choking on his miasma.

Then I noticed, the door was locked.

Dear Dwarves,

Do not tell me for the umpth time around that you cannot cross the 'tunnel of safety' just because it is filled with puddles!

Four-seven water

Suggestion: Based on
Spoiler: The most recent map (click to show/hide)
, we are approaching hills right after saving Amala and meeting Enofe. Also, we've lost just a handful of elves against animal men.

Read it again, ANIMAL MEN. Compared to most other civilizations out there, they were our allies and then turned against us because of a slight conflict. If we are able to lose a couple of elves to them, who is to say how many will die when we traverse the next ten or so miles? Human bandits, goblin ambushes...Human rider bandits...

It seems that the next thing past the marshes are plains or hills so we must expect some sort of attack there, train up the spearelves in the meantime and gather ammunition for the bowelves, our supplies won't wear thin soon because of the food we just gathered. Also, stating again:

...try to be friends with the titan, if by any reason whatsoever that we get into a death situation, and some suggest to free the titan as a last resort [chance to kill us] why not make friends with it in the meantime as we wait for our warriors to return? Then we might have a fighting chance [against many other dangers, we still have NOT passed the goblins/humans, and nobody has yet encountered roving bandits/night creatures].


Umm, all this is based on the fact that either we are moving magnets of danger or other people just want our stuff, or our deaths. [/exaggeration]

Also, Amala's backstory seems like a good place to know more about her. But I put my full faith in our current conscious leader.

Question to GM: Do we need to provide everything for the castle or can we assume basic supplies are already at hand?

And could we ask questions in the middle of turns? If not, disregard this.

I did, I just didn't mention 'it' directly...

ARGH I looked at it again to check... :C

That's when I saw it. :\

So you ninja'd me with a ninja refrence to it?

My mind is full of fuck!
Was that a Genesis Bogeyman there?

I see what you did there, and I hate being struck down  :)
Erm, you had to signify its exact position? It wasn't that obvious...at first glance, somewhat.

Also, love that pig Eric Blank! [Not crappy at all.]

Inspect geographical location for weak points, spread word of the coming attack to the surrounding areas and request for aid. It is better to be prepared then sorry.

(4) You are shunned by the knights because you're female.
[/quote]
There were female knights in the medieval ages.

EDIT: I read too fast and misinterpreted it. Dug deeper. Females were mostly ineligible for knighthood because of the heavy plate armor commonly worn [yet many prefer mail shirts except in battle] and the costs for making a set. Also, there was discrimination set in so yes for the shunning. But as the place and time is not yet decided, I cannot be sure though as some factions were accepted by the populace.

Or I could just get an armor penalty. Anyway, sorry for posting too quick back there.

EDIT[2]: I just noticed the four next to the disadvantage, this does mean something right?  :-[

Erm, I see nothing about the max players available, but maybe thats just me being the new guy. Is there some sort of hard cap to the number of players in a RTD game?

If we take over characters, then make me one civilian who more likely dies soon. Or not.

Anyway second suggestion:

The cage, it was hauled by a mule. Carrying a titan. So why not just stuff most of our animals in there? Relocate the bins and other goods to one of the stronger pack animals (or bring them along in the cage, seperate the food though, in this story I'm not sure if the Titan would still consume while in the cage but it seems really bored...)

Oh, and try to be friends with the titan, if by any reason whatsoever that we get into a death situation, and some suggest to free the titan as a last resort [chance to kill us] why not make friends with it in the meantime as we wait for our warriors to return? Then we might have a fighting chance [against many other dangers, we still have NOT passed the goblins/humans, and nobody has yet encountered roving bandits/night creatures].

That, or we could search for exotic wild animals and tame them as allies [we can do that, right?].

EDIT: Just noticed, the people did keep this from dying. TWENTY whole pages of posts [ignoring the nice adventure story] bumped this until Darkerdark posted again. Beautiful.

I love the feeling when everyone else looses hope that this thread will continue in story, then Darkerdark posts.

Go Faith  :D

Suggestion: "Now that we are in relative safety, begin checking our coordinates on the map. Order some of the scouts [who is our general leader now?] to search the surrounding area. We still have to protect our supplies and the health of the survivors. We do NOT want to end up as a two-man band leading all these animals so before we start venturing out, so we need a headcount and a census of our supplies. Also, protect the turtle. I believe that [insert the force that the Elves believe in here] is watching over us and is with us through our little shelled friend."
