Argh goddamnit is everyone somehow useful to us so we can't eat them?

Oh well. Sacrifice the boy to Notcheclaw.

[Mlamlah]

Considering the complicated nature of the child i'm not fully sure what to do. I'm not opposed to eating him, but sacrificing him seems a waste. I propose we ponder a little more, maybe send the mermaid to go speak with him and keep eachother company, then ask her what she thinks we should do with the boy.
Even though Cherlyn is being a bit of a bitch about... everything, i think she should be there for the meeting of families, though we may want to consider putting her in her place if she grows any more unruly.
Check on the progress of our ghostly smith and thank him for his service, i don't imagine he gets much gratitude.
Also make sure that a place is set aside for dining, though that's a minor concern.
Tell Gwendolyn our son has gotten very close to saying her name, i'm sure she will be delighted. 
Beyond that? Wait for Rox to return, split time between speaking with our child, and perhaps practicing the finer points of fire manipulation. I believe there were more advanced books lying around, correct?

So, we have a blacksmith apprentice, I think our ghost just got a student. And you know that I prefer not to eat humans and concentrate on elves and and later, goblins

I am little worried about the Rox. Surely she is quite upset by Alice's new form and may do something stupid and get in a trouble. anyway we can't go and search her

Family playing with the fire at the forge is a nice way to spend some time and improve our teaching abilities.

I think Rox already over reacted, didn't Alice calm him down?

That is a good possibility if we still plan to release the ghost.  Otherwise I say we extract the information from him (maybe also ask about human civilizations nearby) and then either train him into something useful, or eat him.

Sending the mermaid to talk with the boy sounds like a plan. She's the least freakish in the group. Personally, I am somewhat inclined to take his offer--allies among the townsmen can't be anything but good.

I agree with thanking the smith. We're a polite night troll, and need to set a good example for our son. And Cherlyn.

Maybe have the mermaid talk with him first. Ghosts aren't as much like people as people are.

Don't count your...dead chickens before they...um...look, wait for the problem to come up before expecting it. I suspect that if Rox truly loves Alice, she'll be more unhappy about the slight changes in personality than the wings and such.

As bad of an idea as that sounds like, it's a good idea.

About the boy: I suggest having the mermaid calm him down/get him prepared for weirder things, introduce him to the ghost, talk, and offer him a position here as the ghost's apprentice. Surely a ghostly dwarven "master" smith would be a better master than some old human?

[Mlamlah]

This sounds good to me, couldn't hurt to have something of a human emissary. While having a smith that doesn't tire and does not need to eat or sleep is pretty handy i think that seeing how good of a smith the boy might turn out to be could be a good idea, if we do apprentice the boy then we should explain to the ghost that it might mean the hour of his freedom is a little closer, perhaps that will act as incentive to teach him well.

Should we catch someone to eat?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Let's try to catch someone less interesting this time. 

[QuakeIV]

Life seems to be easier for us on the whole if we eviscerate/eat first and ask questions later.

[gman8181]

Let's try to catch someone less interesting this time. 

Everyone is special in their own way.  We just need to start caring less.

[Mlamlah]

We've come upon at least as many useless folk as special one's, we've merely been using our resources efficiently.

[QuakeIV]

True enough I suppose.  When have we last eaten anyhow?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Truish. Next time, we need to find someone more useless.

[Corruptor]

1. Promise to spare the boy in return for the info about Nocteclaw's followers in town, then send him off to be 'educated' by our merfolk friend.

2. Send word to Leaf - who has a great deal of economic influence, at least until his father returns - and request that the worshippers the boy mentioned be given preferential treatment, such as lower interest rates on loans and so forth. Assure him that any expense will be vastly overshadowed by our future successes, and that this is a crucial step in our plans.

[QuakeIV]

Also finding and killing that guys father could be useful.  Or at least having a word with his father.
