"Why me?"
Pretty sure if we want to indoctrinate some enemies, we would have to get some more intelligent units, which won't just attack anything in it's grasp. Like the SmartFace!
+1> Examine fruit, then enter tower.+1
Well, that certainly could have gone better. Then again, it could also have been much worse.
also > Attempt to initiate diplomacy with the one hiding behind that tree.
Go look behind the tree at the hiding one. Commence diplomancing.
> Examine first floor of tower.
huh, well one person wants to donate, thats neat.
Some questions then, NES:
- What would you say would be the "worth" of an update, like, how much should be donated for me to prioritize working on this above all else?
- For how long would that priority keep going to keep it fair? A week? A month?
- The submit-box is actually pretty hard to pull off, so I am thinking that what if this thread became the submit box if I focus on having it on Dexworks, and then just note in here when there is an update with the first image in the update?
The obvious solution is to donate and request a spectros update.
You heard it people, drown this man in dosh!
...the Needle isn't ranged. Fairly sure it isn't even meant to be used as a weapon. Sharpened sludge...I dunno. Possible, I suppose, but he still has the advantage in the air.He's being carried away by a butterfly, which aren't exactly known for their sturdiness. Gravity will do a lot of the work for us, if we can just help it along a bit.I dunno. I'm a strategy gamer, I like to pick and choose my battles, and right now, this doesn't seem like a battle we should choose. I'd rather try and unlock our subconscious(whatever that means) and get some more minions before we fight him. Preferably ones able to gang up on people. And lots of them.I don't think it's a battle many, if any, of us wanted to choose. The problem is, the war chose us, and we either take a pre-emptive strike now or get blitzkrieged so hard it makes France laugh at us once this jerkface has recovered on his own terms. He knows what he's doing, he'll gain power faster than us, and he may spread word of our location among our other enemies, so we need to take him out now while we have as much of an advantage as we're ever likely to get.
>We need to let the enemy escape who is at his weakest now, knows how to get stronger quickly, and has said he will hunt us down soon, plus is as far as we know the only one from his faction that knows our locationDouble post, but still. They'll find out, for one. Two, since it's called the Brood, they aren't going to dedicate their entire goddamn legion to us, especially when we aren't yet a threat due to how noobish we are. We need to ignore this guy so we can figure out how to pull out of our own ass unmolested....yes, let's piss off the dude who knows what he's doing while we still don't.
I don't want us to lose the needle, I don't particularly want us to lose our pole arm, and I'd rather him be the sort of enemy who ends up saying 'You fought well and honorably, so I will let you live so I may have the joy of fighting you again hurr hurr hurr'. Start from scratch, yes, die, no.
We won't hit. It's pretty obvious to me, at least, that we won't. He doesn't have allies with him, no weapon, and is in starter armor, but...he knows what's going on and what he's doing. We don't. He could pull literally anything out of his ass, and we wouldn't stand a chance against most of it.
I say we talk to anything not Shekersrall or a known enemy,(as well as Shekersrall, of course) and try to make multiple allies. Azure Legion is at war with the Shekersrall Brood, but I doubt everyone is. Possible, though. Little dudes just got pissed because we hit them accidentally.
I think those things that attacked us earlier may have been livestock. The Greytribals weren't attacking the Tonguewhips, and they didn't intervene to help us, so that may have been the catalyst for our fight.
(Just a note, those are temporary reference names until we can identify the creatures.)
But we need to get rid of him before he alerts the Azure Legion. One dude pulling things out of his ass? Try to fight an army of asspullers and see what happens. He may be dangerous now, but he'll be worse with backup. We can't let him fly away. Proceed with insults.
>So that we can learn unmolested
Wut.
+1 as well, we need to focus on the long term, not chucking needles at someone who can fly at will....yes, let's piss off the dude who knows what he's doing while we still don't.
