I've heard party members say that in jest. I have even had them suggest cooking the various things we'd slaughtered.

But you mean it. *twitchtwitch*

I'm just waiting for you to do that later on. There will definitely be times when that just might utterly disrupt a given encounter.

Hey, when the chips are down and we're stuck in some hell-hole with no food, I'll be the one who helps everyone get through things by ensuring that they have enough food by not cutting into their supplies.

Also, just saying, but any aberrations we fight are so on the menu.

The really awkward thing is that with his Survival skill, Doran will be the guy everyone turns too when they need food to survive, probably making him the party cook. The hilarity will ensue.

The party cook is the druid who thinks everything is food.

And I thought Dragonstorm's Orcs were bad.

The line of course will be, "It's edible! Yeesh."

In DragonStorm, the Orcs have two breed abilities: "Eat It" and "Drink It".

If they can get it in their mouths, they can eat it. The color text for "Drink It" says "Don't try to poison an Orc. You'll only waste the ingredients."

You know, looking at my saves, I can eat raw arsenic and I shouldn't have problems with being poisoned. And I haven't even picked up venom immunity yet!

I'll have to remember that if I ever get my hands on some basilisk venom then....

I'm sorry, I couldn't resist.

Lol, that was pretty good. You've definitely got the scottish accent down.

If anyone wonders, Elven Aileen is a fruit wine... Similar to Sangria but instead of fermented grapes with fruit in it, its made of Aileen berries fermented for over 100 years with fruit generally placed within the final product. Usual fruits are regional but include oranges, lemons, limes, apples and pomagranates. The Aileen berry is a rare berry found only in the deepest of Sylvan forests, usually protected by the Fae, but some Elves are lucky enough to be able to vineyard it and raise this berry that blooms every 10 years to fruition and create the most delicate of flavors.

As another note, the wine is slightly fizzy and light blue (almost like the alcohol Hypnotiq in terms of color).

If any of you wish at this point (for your health, well-being, and potential safety), you may make a Knowledge check at a DC of 15 to discover additional information about this kingdom.

Rogue, you had better roll well on a diplomacy check or we are all screwed.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri Oct 24, 2008 1:49 pm

Umm, it's a little too late for that I guess. Probably should have thought of that, my bad.

What, anybody expected this to be taken seriously? Dragging adventurers and heroes of no small ability across the kingdom for something like this is a farce.

And I would note that CT over there thought that was a good idea right up until the steward reacted.

I prefer to think of it as a "plot hook."

Yeah...amazing how fast he changed his mind, isn't it?

I thought negotiation was a good idea. I was expecting, from a paladin, who presumably spends time around nobility and who has a +11 to diplomacy, this thing called TACT!

Gods forbid a king think he has power over something or that the scenario be more than it outwardly appears. He should tremble at the unmatchable fury of adventurers in the mid single digits.

A collection of nobles with less power than a monarch fucked with Nalifan et. al. when they were close to tenth level and got away with it. It did turn out badly for them when Nalifan acquired levels in arch-mage and they came back to settle old scores. They did provide Nal with a nice house though.

And I would note that CT over there thought that was a good idea right up until the steward reacted.

So your defense is to say that CT's judgment is equally bad?

He ordered random executions for no particular reason right in front of us at a prodigious rate that we have no reason to believe was slower before we arrived or will abate after we leave. He's abusing our good faith, insulting our intelligence, wasting our time, and on top of it all sending us to go fetch his fucking dishes. I completely fail to see why anyone should accept his orders, much less a paladin who by all rights should be smiting his stupid ass for the string of murders he ordered right in front of us. I'm amazed this kingdom still stands if that's the man at the helm; by all rights he should have run it into open rebellion by now. As it stands, being a dwarf, Gror will go along for the sake of separating the fool from his gold before he uses it for something worse.

I'm not offering a defense because there's nothing to defend. A human character probably would have been more tactful about it, but then again, probably also would have walked by now. The whole scenario is ludicrous from start to finish.
