Tell Nasty that you will inform her father about her plan, because she is being unreasonable. She will only get herself killed if she goes alone.

Agreed. Something tells me she is going to go after that deer, no matter what we say. Make it clear you won't stop her, but you would like to listen in to what her plan is, go through scenarios, and give our thoughts and ideas.

I will say, she doesn't have to do this alone. I'm sure there are plenty of strong people who wants to take down that deer too, and building a party can be beneficial. Doing it with a team isn't cowardly, it's just as viable as say, using a weapon. Plenty of monsters out there can't be taken down with just a single strong warrior, no matter how strong they are.

We might have to consider sending our top goblin warrior, and/or the archer to go into the forest and secretly search and protect Nasty if she decides to sneak away later today to hunt the deer.

Hey I do love the gumption but do you have a plan at all? Was a princess once and I saw a lotta guys who only had bravery go off by themselves. Do some quest or stuff. Lot of 'em disappeared. Folks who had a team and a plan were usually the ones who got back alive. Successful too. So this ain't no parental concerns. Or fear or none of that stuff. Just what I seen of things. Like, how is you going off and getting killed my problem at all? Seriously ain't my issue. What is my issue is that fear your tribe has. Like, pragmatically as a ruler you succeeding just gives me one less headache to deal with. So I'm just attemptin' to tilt the odds. Otherwise I'd hafta send my gobbos to kill the thing. Havin' stuff like that in my backyard is just gonna get a bunch o' my gobbos dead. Got enough problems without a bunch of gobbo corpses.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Ask her if you would like to join her on the hunt.

B) Ask her if she would like you to create your hunting team to kill that deer.

C) Tell her that her plan will only get her killed.

D) Other suggestions.
>>
No. 1098288 ID: 355e44

B) although, a cool hunter like her probably has her own cool people to bring. Ask about that, and if she doesn't have a party in mind then offer some of your people's services.
>>
No. 1098294 ID: c5529d

D. As she said before, she wants to do this by herself alone, so she'll most likely refuse any offer for allies, and telling her the plan will get her killed will just get her angry. Instead, I propose we get more information on her plan, ask her to wait so we can build her some weapons or armor later, and decide among ourself whether to secretly send someone to help her.

She's going to do this alone, yes, but what exactly will she be doing? Like is she going to be setting traps (Perhaps she can take those hooves with her as bait)? how will she be camping and protecting the campsite? just exploring the forest until she spots it? What armor or weapon does she need, cause our spider can probably build some strong armor and weapon for her if she is patient a bit more. We should let her know once we get things situated, we can offer her different kinds of armor, some of which are magical like silver that protect against ghosts, which the deer might probably be. We'll need moneys first

Most importantly, speaking of waiting, if she doesn't want to wait for our spider to smith some stuff for her, I want to know when she is planning on hunting.

Because once we know when she is leaving assuming we can't have her wait for us to make her armor and weapons, from there, we could set a deadline for when to craft her some weapons, and decide whether we can send some goblin warrior like Gramlera and/or the archer to secretly follow her without her and the deer knowing so that if Nasty gets into shit, they can distract the deer and rescue Nasty if she gets into danger.

another option could be we could probably go ourself too, that way, us spirits can give Nasty advice if Bobbie is nearby. Gotta have Nasty as an ally first. But our castle probably needs us.
>>
No. 1098299 ID: 1181ab

Hardly a plan at all. Like ya gotta flush it out by like, setting up a forest fire. Don't just let it set how the fight goes. Why it could just wait for you to sleep, since ya gotta once enough time passes. Plus there's the whole mist thing. What if it flees? Gonna need flammable gas plus a torch or a way to freeze the misty stuff. Or some such thing. Don't play it's game but set up a game so that it only loses. Gotta use both brains and brawn to win this. Still say a team would help too.
>>
No. 1098300 ID: 27fceb

Why do I get the feeling that this is also a way for you to protect the other people from the tribe by going to the hunt alone.

I like C most. We need our goblins and fighters, and we have potential to make some pretty unique armor and weapons if Nasty is willing to wait for it.
>>
No. 1098404 ID: d0e338

Also reason why I am choosing to give armor and weapon over sending our goblins, if we send our troops and her father finds out, he will not be happy with us. At least with armor and weapon, it'll be harder to trace the source to us.
>>
No. 1098515 ID: dab87a

>>1098404 Eh, still could be traced but that's easily dealt with. "Oh yeah, she bought armor from us. We didn't ask why since you guys are warriors. Just figured she needed a good set since our smiths just do superlative jobs." Perhaps Gram could give advice while she's fitted.

It would look odd for Bobbie to just take something from a supposed stranger, and this state of drunkenness can be used to cast suspicion on WW. Ask Nasty if you should trust this fellow, who hides behind a mask.
>>
No. 1098640 ID: 27fceb

No matter how much it would be funny to see Bobbie drunk during the negotiations, it would be for the best if we avoid that scenario. Take the drink

Steady on lassie. Our protection only applies to gobbos we command. So this was not one of ours. Pragmatically (and ruthlessly) this might actually be good because it may drive rival gobbos to join us. For protection from this.

Killing one of our people would be declaration of war. By all means if you catch one of ours, return them to us and they will be punished to match their crime, including execution if warranted. And they could of course demand recompense from us.
But the execution of our citizens may only happen on our terms.

This courtesy of course we would extend to any of their people who got lost or kidnapped or whatever, and ended up in our territory.
>>
No. 1099359 ID: c5529d

I'd like to hear Gray opportunity's advice and plans on how we can go about doing this, even if we have to use fear to manipulate the goblins to join us.

right now, I'm thinking we should ask where these goblins are coming from. If these goblins are knowingly trespassing in their territory for food, they could be desperate enough to risk their lives for survival, which means they might be more willing to join with us if we were to relocate a lot of them to our territory so that the goblins can remain safe to thrive with better opportunity, while the Headsplitters won't have to worry about goblins invading their territory as much again.
>>
No. 1099363 ID: c5529d

Another possible idea if we want to go in a route that will make us appear stronger than we are, we can tell the headsplitters leader Heartbeat that you and your loyal subjects will go and deal with the invading goblins personally so that the headsplitters won't get invaded by goblins again, and then we secretly let the goblins join us and relocate them to our castle with better opportunity and shelter, and food. That way, we can appear strong to the headsplitters for being able to appear that we've taken down a majority of the entire goblin tribe, and the new goblins will live better lives in our castle while being loyal towards us to help strengthen our castle, and army.

If Heartbeat questions this wondering why we would fight other goblins if we have goblins on our side following us, we can explain that just like how there are good humans, and evil humans, there are good goblins, and bad goblins. If Heartbeat offers some of his hunters to help us, we can refuse by telling them that you need an element of surprise, and having a hunter will only raise the goblin's guard up or run away since they see the hunters as a threat. Plus you'd rather have the hunters keep all their focus on hunting for food instead of helping us deal with the problem. It'll also be a good way to prove yourselves to them too to show how strong you are.

Other than that, my answer will be B for the question

>>
No. 1099521 ID: de430b

C (for now.)

If we want to convince the goblins to join with us later, we can't be all chummy with them inf front of the goblin prince cause then the goblin prince won't trust us and see us as their enemies' ally after they caught him as a prisoner.

And buying him will just make them suspicious of us as we just told their leader we will deal with the goblins personally. Will be odd that we would want to buy one after saying we want to deal with them.
>>
No. 1099620 ID: 42c724

Either he's a fake which makes him useless or he's legit which gives us a power vacuum to fill. Prince implies a king/queen though. So who are these leaf people? Perhaps related to the druids?

A for now. I think Heartbeat is trying to get us to make amends in some way. For now, let's wait and see.

I wonder if Wormworks knew Iron was here this whole time.
>>
No. 1099765 ID: e2760c

Ooooooohhhhh! I just realizes, Iron being here is exactly why Wormworks turned Abdle gold, because then he will think Abdle is not with us, and his cat can search elsewhere for Abdle, probably steal our decoy (Yakbeet)

And I want to change my vote

D. Act sincere towards him. This will be a fun way to play mind games with him, and appear friendly in the eyes of the others so that if Iron dredge gets aggressive towards us, he will be seen as the rude one. Plus it will make you look confident.

Be like "Ahhhh... Iron Dredge, so glad we finally meet at last. Please sit down, we all got much business to discuss".
