We survived the night it seems, any ideas for the next expedition option? We should be arriving home soon hopefully, we'll have to keep on the alert as we continue to trudge along and await whatever rescue team may be sent our way by the folks in the LA archive "looks forward to raccoon feral fur hats one day"

P.S. we REALLY need to kill those damn raccoons off someday now that we know they can use weapons and aren't just annoying mischief makers anymore.

I´ve wrote the options i think we can do at this moment in the golem expedition thread, Dur. Read there and tell me what ya think would be best for the team or most save option.

Also i doubt they got all those stuff from raiders alone. I think they do some tradings with the humans south, they get them some gold nuggets or rare animal pelts and gets daggers and short swords for it. Just an assumption though.

Not sure if we should kill them all. Anji does want an alliance with dvergar, kotorcs, ferals and halmes to strengthen our clans position.

And after that attack i will never see those small two-legged catthingies as cute and harmless. If they´d be on our side we´d had some awesome scouts and saboteurs to go behind enemy lines or to raid their supplies. Instead of destroying them, i´m more for accquiring them, to get them on our side after we showed them who´s boss with killing some of them or having taken over their village and leave them the choice to become slaves or our comrades in arms.

Okay, before this website has ANOTHER glitch and I'm unable to post or access anything, I agree with Jame's first idea for how we should proceed this week on the expedition, the one he posted in the expedition thread (probably be a good idea to post it here too). Basically we continue to trudge along at whatever pace we can manage and hope we meet the rescue party halfway there at some point instead of leaving ourselves vulnerable to another feral raid.

Any thoughts gang? we should probably post an option tomorrow

[Sil'Thara]

Aye, I believe we should limp our way home. At this point, I think they'll attack again. They've weakened us and if we're still not back home by nightfall or saved by an expedition to find us, they're going to come again. Since we're weakened from their initial assault, we can expect higher casualties from fighting.

Feels nice to be bloodied though. Odd sentiment but now I can say I've bled for the clan. ^.^ Now I wish I had sucked it up and made a RP character during PTP1's early days. Would've been a warrior taking care of a few orphaned kids. ^.^;

Agreed, commencing a justifiable genocide seems like a necessary thing to do to insure trade security. This expedition is my first deployment as a warrior and I would rather die on the battlefield than be killed by some brazen furry vandals.

What *Tei'Kaliath coloring* do you mean, Laerei? You mean *Kyrol 2.0*, right?

A what?

PTP1...ah, simpler times


Glad ya agree that we need to keep moving to increase our chances of either getting home ourselves or being rescued, if we stay still or split up we're just begging for another raid.

That being said, does anyone object to Jame's idea or should we begin thinking up wordings for options?

[James Rye]

Let´s wait for the LA first, it might change our priorities. We´re so enar out colony we could meet up with them in this LA already if they move out right away when they saw our mana flare.

Raccoon hats and coats for one and all! BWAHAHAHAHAHA! >8D


And okay Jame's, the update should be today anyway, so it won't be too long of a wait

Am i really the only one who helds up high Anji´s dream/wish?

I know that in most of the clan's eyes, the raccoons went from pest to public enemy #1, but is genocide the answer? The other day over skype, someone mention what if we turn them into allies, or better yet, servants (he was leaning for the latter, much cheaper). They're cunning and will make good scouts and saboteurs; if we could find their home base, kill a few of them and present an ultimatum to the rest, "Submit to us or we'll kill every last one of you, down to the last man, woman and child." I would place a lot of emphasis on that last part, what better way to get someone to surrender then to hold his/her children hostage. But if most people rather massacre them, I'll go with it. Just want everyone to know that they might make good potential tool/assets. Yesterdays enemies can be today's allies.

No, kill the adults and anyone old enough to remember it when they get older, take the children and train them via mimicry.

I do not trust the raccoons. The feral scouts don't trust them so why should we? Yet I concur with Hetros, only by culling the raccoons into serfs or indenture servants would it be possible not to completely wipe them out. This can feasible if we can tame those undesirable traits.

[Durlyn Val'Sarghress]

I was only half serious about wiping them all out, BUT, if it is possible to tame and enslave them, and properly beat the wild animal out of them, then I wouldn't mind turning them into indentured servants to do our bidding (we drow are a ruthless lot after all, and we do have slave masters who could use new minions). They're far less helpful than our Cat Feral friends and have made themselves our enemies, so I won't shed any tears either way regardless of whether we forcibly recruit them or finish them off for good. We would first have to locate where they live and ascertain their numbers, i.e. make sure we capture or kill them all in one fell swoop so they don't just retreat deeper into the woods only to return later when they've recovered.


At any rate, whats really important now is that we devise actions for this week now that the LA has been updated, it seems Anjhali and Badai themselves are coming to our rescue. So more so than before, I feel we should continue our march and hopefully meet our rescuers sooner rather than later, cut down on how long they need to travel to reach us and all that jazz.

I hope we have some food left over so we don't fatigued and pass out when An'jhali finds us. That second attack weakened most of us. I cannot fathom how we could sustain another attack using the same tactics. We need to change our combat strategy somehow. Maybe use our crossbows or tell the Mana specialist to throw mana bolts at the raccoons because sword combat is not effective at warding them off.
