2. Extra backup plans for layers of redundancy assure that at least one will get it done. Even if the best plans get you a win even if you lose.

B, definitely, We'll also need a plan B, and maybe a plan C in case a plan fails.

As far as archer goes, I was thinking he would sneak fully attack the cat during the meeting, perhaps during the distraction the performer will cause. But we'll need to know exactly where the meeting is taking place so he can prepare. Does the crow know?
>>
No. 1105552 ID: c5529d

I have one other idea

The cat is afraid of the personification of death

maybe we can use that to manipulate her feelings and fear. We can take the crow hostage with us to the meeting place, and have the performer pretend they want the crow's soul. If the cat is too cowardly to save him, he could at least see that the cat really doesn't care about him. We can also probably pretend we don't see death to make it more dramatic. We'll have to blindfold the crow though so he doesn't see death. Maybe something to cover his ears if we decide to have death talk too?

one scenerio could be we want to trade with the cat our hostage instead of abdle, and if she refuses, we "kill" the crow. we could say something like one cannot escape the fate of death once they have their eyes set on someone. We can knife him (he won't be effected) while at the same time, the performer can do something to make the crow faint. with "death" near us, the cat will be too scared to try any tricks to save the crow.

plan needs refining, we can ponder more about this.

D, after hearing about how she was making up stories of Bobbie having sex with and sucking lots of goblin dicks, I really don't think she is putting rumors to rest as she said, so I don't think it matters whether we say we don't want or need anyone to get intimate with.

...

wait, is this her weird way of asking she wants to get in bed with us?
>>
No. 1105632 ID: 6c233e

Bobbie doesn't really seem like she has much of a sex drive. So whoever started that rumor must not know Bobbie well. Or, if she does know Bobbie well and is wearing some sort of blue headdress, then she isn't being very creative. C'mon, sex with Abdle? Really? Those two are clearly platonic. Bobbie deserves a better class of rumor.

That seems to be Bobbie's usual state. At least, when Abdle's not there. Not many can relate to her situation, and being a ruler is isolating on top of that.

I can't dictate how Bobbie she feels. that's up to her to decide. But she does care about her followers from what I've seen at least, mainly the monster followers more than the human followers.

I guess with me personally, B

That makes sense

I was speculating that maybe we should let her know we technically didn't beat Ramming Rage, but rather, he did it to himself? But then again, she does have high respect for us, so I guess with that, we'll just not say anything and let her believe what she wants.

Hey now, she said only a couple questions, that’s one more than a couple. No offense, but that is something we need from people who work with us: honesty. If we are not on the same page with things, it can be detrimental. Not that we don’t want to answer her question, more that we need to to make sure she is true to her word so that in a dire situation, we have trust in each others words

GUARDS! (She drew a knife, precautions needed. Should she be legit we'll cut it ourselves. Have a pair of spy rats on her though.)
>>
No. 1105990 ID: 6c233e

see Abdle? The more of the world you rule, the more freaks who don't respect boundaries you have to deal with. Not worth it.

No to the hair, she'll probably make a voodoo doll from it. or just stab you anyway.

Now there is something you can try, if she attacks you. I would have liked to test it, but there is no time. Since your curse makes it so your attack goes through the enemy, if you attack their hand while they attack you, both hands should pass through each other. Thereby negating their attack. Just need to grab the sharpest thing nearby, even if its just a comb.
>>
No. 1105998 ID: c5529d

Ultimately, just comply, but I still would like to hear why she needs it first, but we'll have a spy rat keep an eye on her and see what she does with the hair, especially if she doesn't tell us why. It's just hair

If she can make a clone out of our hair, hey! we have a body double!

Should be fine since we are cutting some ourself. Like I said, it’s just hair, just give her some to appease her, but tell her to drop the knife on the floor first before you grab it, and let her know we are going to expect something big in return in the future, like a favor for example, no questions asked and without refusing, can’t do this for free after all, otherwise you’ll get walked all over.

Something is not right with that sheep lady, so I vote we visit the new heart that we got.
>>
No. 1106294 ID: 6d5273

lets see

Conjoined heart, the kids fans

Oozing heart, Maya Din

Misaligned heart, the Executioner

Companion heart, Worm Works

Lucid Heart: Jestercutioneralist

Cheating Heart: Leaf Leader

Wounded Heart: Nasty Shit

Bewildering Heart: Sealer Healer


I thought we got archer's heart, but I guess we didn't. Things would have been easier if we got Gram's heart so we can figure out where the goblin got kidnapped, and details on the cat's plan, but alas.

I can't decide choosing either Wounded Heart (Nasty Shit) to learn more about her, and since she was with the crow last, we can find out what she learned from the crow. improving our friendship I feel is most important if we want to stay in good relationships with the Headsplitters, and if she ever becomes leader, we'd have pretty powerful allies

Lucid heart (Jestercutioneralist), just out of curiosity seeing as we'd be traveling into the dream of a dream guy, plus would be interesting to see what power abdle can get from that visit, maybe something psychological.

or the misaligned heart (the executioner) just because this guy seems one of the more interesting guys. Considering this guy knows a lot about death since he's an executioner, we might get some insight considering we have someone disguising as death for the meeting.

I'll see what the others pick before I make my final decision, but right now leaning towards Nasty poopy.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

>>
No. 1106380 ID: 6d5273

Can't be dream logic, how we looked in wormwork's dream was how he envisioned us, so the same has to be true here.

Well, what if Wounded Heart didn't represent Nasty, but somebody else, and we're not in her dream, but theirs?

I can't imagine who though, we got notified that we got the wounded heart around the time we chose to go with Nasty and took the druid's potion. not many who was present at the meeting knew of your past, unless they visited your kingdom when you were a kid. Only one I can think of is Heartbeat and he visited your kingdom when you were younger for some reason. can't be wormworks as his heart was different.
