"Anyone wanna play Fox & Geese? I'm a really good teacher. Arthure beat me in the first game involving was teaching him! And the guy I taught Haft Sang beat me in the first game, too! Maybe i should've been a teaching major. Oh well. Who's up for a game?"
Also if these incense are normal as IRL incense then as part of my nightly set up of the campsite, I will first light an incense, rotating nightly for scent.
Sure ill play.
But I think we should discuss our hmm... treatment of other people's minions.
Jayne, i appreciate you looking to give me a new servant, but that Dino was already under the control of Val. I think he was upset. And clearly poor Aster was too.
Yeah that was fucked up man, not cool!
*Sets up Fox & Geese*
Aster chimes in, nervous but stern, "I would prefer if we're going to be using corpses that we come by the corpses a bit more ethically. Killing something for the sole reason of using it for necromancy is pretty much a direct path to being an evil asshole. Unless you're killing evil assholes. Then I guess we're kind of doing the world a favor? It's a grey area, for sure..." she trails off and shrugs.
"...Just... Maybe, like... We don't choose violence so quickly in the future...?"

//Gonna use the designation "+" for telepathic comms unless someone can suggest a better thing
+Im very exited to see you explaining your position, wait doing it again+
"Im very exited to see you explaining your position again. Do you think it will mean anything? Do you want me to advocate for you?"
Ooc: It's like 10 seconds setup
"I see you looking at our game here Val. Come watch, I'm a great teacher. Just ask Arthure!"
He certainly explains the rules clearly.
I would say his execution is lacking.
*Zahir smiles big and wide, painfully obvious to others he doesn't understand the second sentence fully because execution to him means killing and hes still learning that words can have multiple meanings that are very different. He thinks he fully understands though.*
12 + 3 guile - 3 flaw: bigger + 2 Fox & geese = 14 to beat Arthure
Aster notices Zahirs' lack of understanding and thinks to herself "Man, intelligence really comes in all shapes and kinds... How did he know all those other big words in his thesis...?"
Ah yes, the Master still has some tricks up his sleeve! Good game Arthure, you are a true gentleman of games!
Feeling that her pleas to Jayne were likely unheard, Aster sighs and settles down by a tree a respectful distance from the fire and pulls out a book of witchcraft. She appears to be reading it, but she is actually using it to obscure a slightly smaller book hidden inside it called "Diplomacy: For Fun and Profit" and nodding thoughtfully but also occasionally frowning and looking perhaps uncomfortable with the content. It's probably fairly visible from certain angles, though she does seem to be trying to hide it, as though embarrassed by it.
OOC:
did I miss much after leaving?
OOC.. Not really. We got back to the university and got a little gold from an artist to have a shack set up in the settlement. There was also a blind lady who told fortunes.
Zahir, a bit red in the face, leans in towards Hyla and whispers "She's cute..." while Talas walks by.
"Hey guys. I've been working on a way to 'communicate' with the forms i turn into. I think ive got it down pretty well (ooc 3 ranks). Maybe I can 'talk' with these mosquitoes and find out what theyre doing or maybe even get them to allow us safe passage, either by deception/distraction or a deal of sorts."
