The skeletons will be Union, try to quietly rattle your way into the group, flash your union card, and hang out with them for a while. It's been lonely since our congregation stopped coming to church

I got a laugh out of and appreciated you managing to translate a Dare post and interpret it into a vote and hope you keep doing so!

For my vote I say infiltrate the group.

Equip Sword - The entire reason we spent the essence in the arm was to use it, after all.

Shears in Barrel - It makes every transplant cost 1 less, and that adds up!

Eat Rat - Sorry ratty, but as good of a friend you are you're a better health potion. Your sacrifice will (possibly) not be in vain!

As far the skele-gang, we should try to communicate with them in our native tongue; Skorse (skeleton + morse) Code. If the robed one is a fellow boney-bro then he'll understand and we can talk, if he isn't he'll be oblivious to the soft rattling of Skorse Code.

I like this.

hi how are you

Looks like we're going to equip the sword, keep the shears in the barrel and eat the rat. sorry rat.

Microwaves Mom posted:

How does a skeleton consume a rat? Honestly it should be kept to produce rat milk. The milk is far more useful.

just sort of break it open like a quail and grind it up.

Outrail posted:

How much essence do we get from eating one of our followers? Theoretically I mean.

They don't want to be eaten! They think of themselves as more your buddies than your slaves.


Currently voting stands at

9 for every variation of openly following them/going up for a chat (we can select our attitude to them once they've given us their excuse). Most people want to have a talk to the skeles in skelecode, leaving the robed guy out of it if he's not able to understand.
2 for creeping up/around them
1 for sending your goon to distract them

So we'll keep walking at our current pace and catch up with them real soon, and then we'll find out if they're with the Union or not. I'll keep things open though because it's going to be a few hours before I get to the update. Two-Fisted Steve has a copy of this book that's not missing so many pages, and he's being a total bastard about the courier fees as usual.

Anyway, we've wandered in, the skellies don't want to talk but the dude wants a chat. What do we do?

I wanted to get a little further in but ran out of time tonight. We should be approaching Bilgeton fairly soon and everything will go sideways from there, as anyone who's read this book before will be able to tell you. Consider this first stretch a warm-up

Hand the man your business card.

He's clearly abusing these poor skeletal compatriots, and if we can arrange an exchange of business cards we can identify him to the union and help free these poor souls from their working conditions.

Hand him our business card and strike up a conversation about the weird purple light in the warlocks tower, that poo poo messes with the undead so he's at least gotta be interested in it too!! Once we know if he's a jerk we can stab him. Or even if he's not one I guess

Play the riddle game, wager all he knows about necromancy, and use the union card to force him to play with his life on the line.

hi how are you

Three for straight-up shanking the dude, three for engaging him in riddles/rhymes, four for a chat (including demanding that he rubs your barrel, gotta assert your dominance over these pimple-faced creeps). It's pretty close.I'll give it an hour or two then go dig around for the pages to make the thing happen.

By the way it's good that we're decrepit for this encounter, rolling in while you're in good condition would put the guy on edge.
