It is up to you to choose what she put on for the meeting. You can describe it or draw it.

Headsplitters are a warrior culture so armor is logical.

Yeah, armor makes most sense

And don't forget that we do have a plan if it comes to kidnapping, Abdle. Take Bobbie's example and get some courage. You're a demon after all

Light armor, nothing too showy. How about fur around the shoulders, implying a sort of hunter look.

Fix the pump, but be on the lookout for cats. The goblins should stay in a group and not let any of them out of sight.

A good piece of craftwork would be a good gift. perhaps a weapon, something that shows our spiders' talents.

>>1095942 This.

B money to fix the water pump to keep our goblins vigilant

D. A good weapon or armor the spider made so that they have a good useful gift, but also as a sample if they want to buy weapons and armor from us.

Forgot to mention, send the goblins to help with the water pump problem.

C) It will be impossible for them to be on our side.

D) Other suggestions.

I am not sure how to feel about the tribe, they do send a lot of red flags but at the same time if they are on our side that would be beneficial to us. So my answer is B)

B) Sounds like a direct approach is best, no tricks or fancy words.

So they're reclusive but can be negotiated with. Which is fine because we have an ace in the hole. We effectively have both them as well as their rivals in a prisoner's dilemma here. See the curse prohibits either from invading us - key word invading. Letting forces walk through to get at their rivals is not invading. Worst case is both sides fail to cooperate but are either side willing to bet their rivals won't leap at the chance? While best case is both sides cooperate and we act as mediators - while reaping rewards from both sides. Just remember a key rule, "when in rome do as the romans do," and diplomacy should prevail.

Since I see another participator in this quest. I want to say welcome to my story and I hope you enjoy my work. If there are any questions feel free to ask to ask them in the the discussion thread of this quest.

Well since Adble didn't say it I will. Gramleza was lying Archer and lying big. Since he failed he gets the cage. Perhaps he'd get a little security consideration if he undid Gramleza screwing up team cohesiveness. He needs to be selectively edited too.

Abdle is correct, Bobbie seems like she is going to be today with a bad attitude and he should be on a standby.

That does look useful, as a decoy. Because you wouldn't actually lock Abdle in a horrible prison without at a least discussing it beforehand, right? Hide him in a sleeve or pocket.

If you think about it, we are going to be speaking with some very powerful people. I don't think they would allow a cat to be sneaking around the area, especially if our negotiations do good and we form a partnership. What I'm saying is that the cat being here would be a huge risk for her. Armor will be last resort.

buuuut, if we want that extra protection since we aren't using the armor, I say we have the archer should focus on standing gaurd and keeping a lookout for anything suspicious, like the cat while Bobbie and Abdle attend the meeting. Archers have very good perception after all.

Abdle needs a less exposed place to sit. You should get a basket to carry him in maybe.

Well if Abdle is out in the open it might bait the cat which would help convince these guys. Since it's a violation of sovereignty and all plus we'd have mutual enemies. Downside is we may lose Abdle. So do you prefer discomfort or being bait Abdle?

maybe when the meeting officially start, we'll pull him out.

Huh? He can speak and listen without having him in your hands. What more do you need to do?

Yeah sure, lets have Abdle hang out with the druid for awhile. It'll help establish a good relationship and trust. If we are lucky, Maybe even use his healing powers to make Abdle less rotten and fresh like a green apple for a few weeks to a month until he is rotten again.

Though Please do correct the Druid by letting him know Abdle is not an "it".

This could also work for us too because if the cat does show up (which i doubt) she could target the apple basket bobbie is holding thinking abdle is in there while abdle is with the druid, the perfect distraction, hehehehe.

Go with A) this person is respected in the tribe and if he likes us that will go a long way.

B) you and Abdle are a team, and this is a negotiation. Neither should go anywhere without the other.
Also every magic user we've met has been crazy or sketchy. No way should we leave Abdle with one we don't even know.

B) Calm down the queen.

B. Cool it. Attacking him will only cause our hosts here to become agressive towards us. This is most likely like taking a vaccination shot, where youll be sick for a lil bit before getting better and stronger... uh you guys invented vaccinations here in this world yet, right?

Though make it known you wish he would have let us know what he was doing before doing something so aggressive.

Stay cool. He's on our side for negotiations. However telling him off is justified. He said he'd tell us a way that beats subjugating. He did not tell us he'd do... this. We have no idea if this has downsides or side effects. He keeps asking for forgiveness rather than permission which is the main issue. One day perhaps we will refuse to forgive. Don't push us.

B) Wormworks secretive agenda is more and more seeming like a danger to us all. But this is not the place to do anything about it. Better to lull him into complacency, execute him quietly the next time he is at the castle.

For know you still need to impress the Headsplitters, so just move on.

While we were in your dream you mentioned that today we could kill you so easily. So were you telling the truth or were you just lying.

A. Ask if there is anything we should know about the tribe before the meeting, like any rules or laws we should be aware of that we shouldn't break or prevent culture shock. We already were surprised about the people having interesting names

rather not kill wormworks with B

oh right, we should ask how long Abdle's metamorphosis is. Hopefully not years.

D) Other suggestions.

Well, Bobbie, we're told to be vulgar around here, so give it a try: go ahead and call wormworks dickwanks. No offense, just getting Bobbie accustomed to the culture.

C for the first one, it's obvious we're not going to get a clear answer from him, and he's too nervous to speak about it and is a waste of time at the moment. Was an interesting reaction though. We'll find out later I think, when he's ready, or we stumble across learning about him ourselves. Let's stay on topic with the matter on hand

I think B for the second question. Lying can be beneficial, and there are workarounds to not being able to fight as we can have others fight our battles for example.

Oh I do believe you're underhandedly helping. However I might be the only one that gets how that may be useful. We are a team and I'm only one voice. So the catch is you are one voice but nevertheless you force decisions on us. While I still believe you are a loyalist the others may not be so inclined. Even I have my limits on being pushed too. Just a warning to keep in mind. Per - let's call him WL - I'll take your word. Seems like trouble, far too much to ever be worthwhile. Weakness during the siege, eh? Have to say it's that we had no proper backup plans ready to go. Had he called the bluff it was done, we lose. Period. We need options where several things must fail to get to a losing scenario.

It's fine, don't tell us about Worm Lord. Only, by withholding that information you make it obvious we should look into it ourselves. Perhaps you'd like to make sure we don't get the wrong idea?

You know it's only helping if we agree on the end goal. So why don't you tell us what you think are our weaknesses. I have the feeling we'll disagree.
Though I would say Bobbie's main weakness is getting flustered at people's harsh words.

I peek behind the curtains and saw something that I shouldn't have. I just hope that I didn't invite anything with mentioning WL.

hanging out with her will make for good relationships with her, and if we keep on her good side, we'll keep on her father's good side, or at least she can give him a good word about us.

that trick Abdle did can actually probably help against the cat if she steals him... not saying that we should let him get kidnapped on purpose, just that it's another layer of protection.

My vote is for Worm Work to go for a drink. Just the chaos of those two people being drunk is the main reason for wanting to see it happen.

A) It would be rude to refuse

Well it seems Gray can be of use. How surprising. He still needs pragmatism to temper him though. Drink a little. However too much will be bad for negotiations so don't have too much of the stuff.

I think archer should take the basket so that he can feel more responsible, and to show we trust him. Also We don't need the worms removed from the apple.

though I'm fine with bringing the basket with us too.

Archer should keep the basket, as Bobbie seems she will be rather harried for a while.
Guard it well, especially against creeps in masks.

We'd prefer to walk ourselves. Our archer gets basket since he's loyal and is aware of who to avoid.

D) Other suggestions.

D. tell her that even if it feels like she's not making her father happy, the fact that he is terrified that the deer might kill her shows that he still loves her.

Still, I'm not saying she should give up on hunting that deer. Tell her that if this is about proving to her father that she isn't weak, having a goal to kill the deer and protect the citizens from it is a goal she can strive for. But if she wants to show her father she strong enough and capable to take on the deer like he is, she has to first put in the effort to gain the strength, experience, and courage to gain her father's approval to go after the deer.

For example, ask what animals and monsters she had hunted and mounted on the walls, or used as a rug as trophies to show for her expertise in hunting? How many of them did she hunt herself without much help? And how dangerous were those creatures she hunted? a good way to gain her father's approval to hunt the deer and to gain the courage to go after the deer is to set short term goals to continue growing her collection of trophies of mounted heads of dangerous animals, starting small with coyotes, wolves, mountain lions, then going after more progressively ferocious animals like bears, and then monsters. After taking the time and effort, and growing her collection of trophies, she can in this way show her father she has gained the strength, knowledge, and the courage to go after the deer.

sound advice

I am getting a bad feeling from that deer thing. Ask her if she has a hunting team in order to take it down for good and if she does ask if she would like us to join her.

We don't do that with goblins. So anyway Polt has the general idea but Bass hits on a crucial thing as well. She has to have a team she trusts and can rely on to help. So while improving herself she can also improve her team's strength, tactics, and cohesiveness. Probably social bonds as a bonus.

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.

>>1098109
(to clarify, I mean if Nasty decides to sneak off, we send one of our members to secretly search and keep an eye on Nasty without her knowing)

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.

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.

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.

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.

A) I want to go with you to the hunt.

B) I want to give you some of my people to help you in the hunt.

C) I want to give you some equipment.

D) Other suggestions.

B) don't get carried away, you know you would be unhelpful on a hunt Bobbie. What with the unable to do damage thing. But you have a lot of competent folk in your service.

Oh no Bobbie is drunk!

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.

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.

>>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.

Will trust Wormworks on this one. Doubt he'd get much out of botched negotiations.

Yeah drink it. After all, if we don't drink it, the tribe members will get suspicious of him

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 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

Go with 1. Probably toss in a bit of flattery like "Your reputation of bravery precedes you" or stuff like that without sounding sycophantic because that will go bad.

A. Also give a good word on her daughter by mentioning being impressed by her strength

B. Let's hear what he has to say. could be an evil goblin that deserved it.

B) having some trouble? brigands or thieves maybe?

Go with A, we need to know if this is something that has been happening on multiple occasions.

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.

>>1099040
A very good point!

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Are you threatening me?

B) It won't come to that.

C) If you want to start a fight that will be a battle, one which you can't win.

D) Other suggestions.

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.

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.

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

He is bluffing, we all know that because of the curse he is not allowed to send his people to our castle. Call him out on his lie, tell him that it won't work for him to act though.

>>1099359 >>1099363 From my broad strokes you have made a masterpiece.

Let's introduce ourselves to the Leaf Leader

B) I mean, if they don't want it. Just look at that hat! Maybe he really is a prince.

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.

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) Let him make the first move, gauge how to respond.

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.

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".

Go with the C option, let's see how they all will react seeing you telling how you really feel
