Oooh sounds like we are going to get some fried chicken Mcnuggets next with an Happy Meal for the free Treasure 😁

I think Ripley kinda forgot about the dying otter though. He had ran into town to save him and then got sidetracked. I'm guessing it's an ADHD moment LOL 😜 We didnt even raid the Cat Magistrate house though! We still need to do that! The treasure inside would boost me and Hoop drive !! O_O EDIT: I'll edit my message and roleplay it as that we need to find Ripley then and warn him he can stop searching for a doctor. Seem like a logical step to make and one that wont get us sidetracked. That will allow us to regroup... and raid the Cat Magistrate mansion together!

Well I wouldn't mind to roleplay that. What about you guys? Would you mind if I took some time to roleplay that? "turns to the other players" Also, curious, why would they be against such letter? They would be afraid and too ashamed to face that otter family right? BUT... if I did it for them, Miss Rikki and Sandukan opinion of Slithers would improve right? I dont want to impose though. But at least, I really would like the Otter belonging to the dead family before they get ransacked and stolen. If I can do that behind the scene, that's fine with me too. Or is there even important stuff on him or his destroy caravan to return to his family?

Aaah ok so we won’t roleplay the part about the Woodland Alliance being the source for the attack. Shame but understandable if you want to wrap things up. Slithers will learn the truth in a future adventure then. Can we say we left a letter with the ottter money and belongings we grabbed at the doorstep of his family? One that that explains what happened from Slithers perspective (what he had been told)? I’m sure the otters family could project the blame on both Ripley and the Woodland Alliance this way. This way, we can regroup next at the bank. Or if you want, Miss Rikki and Sarkan can do that while Slithers regroup with Hoops and the others? With Miss Rikki and her mangoose companion regrouping with us later? If we do it this way, no letter is needed. EDIT: Or I can edit my last post if needed and just say it is a shame and we need to regroup, if that’s what you want.

Well I think the narrative consequences for it could come later. If we are blaming the Woodland Alliance for this, one of the negative consequences would be the 3 bandits being expelled as vagabonds that we will have to face them later as ennemies sound actually like something likely to happen. And it would explain how the Woodland Alliance start to grow elsewhere then Honeywell. EDIT: Dont forget to reply in the IC thread too

Can we redact the -1 reputation damage to Riverfolk though? You said yourself they arent a militarized faction yet.

Same. Miss Rikki is awesome and I dont mind Sandukan being a blowhard that I'll have to win over. Besides, I can remind (taunt) him he let the otter die under his watch so that he MIGHT reincarnate in a snake in his next life LOL

I came in late in the adventure but if you allow me, I'll say a few things: 1) The Seeker class abilities are almost all linked to ruins. Although I had a lot of happiness making a "Indiana Jones" character that was a snake, I realize that going forward, for my character to shine the brightess, we would have to visit ruins for it. I never asked for the other player's opinion on the matter though but I want to point out I have no qualm in changing my character class at any point if visiting ruins isn't fun for the group 2) I am not sure how Ripley being a captain of such a large group of NPC is going to work. Are we going to interact with all of them on a daily basis? Or its more like " they are staying on his ship most of the time but can act as a private army of needed" ? 3) Since Riverfolk arent a militarized faction yet, how about Ripley get -1 with the Denizen faction? Which is the most dangerous faction to lower our reputation from because they will fear us and not protect us if the militarized faction want to prison us or accuse us of crime we didnt commit. It could serve as a warning too to not be "agent of chaos" too much because it doesnt make one life easier as vagabond? (Sorry if it seems harsh but even if Im willing to bail Ripley out of trouble if needed as a team player, I feel like too much troubles will not be group for the group either)

Well I dont have to lie myself: I wasnt there to see the battle. (EDIT: Heck, even Rikki said they were attacked by thugs calling themselves the Woodland Alliance and didnt mention the injuries to the Otter were 100% Ripley fault). Maybe Igor will agree that the -1 reputation drop with the Riverfolk is prematured and maybe can be salvaged just yet. "evil snicker" (Slithers will have to keep Ripley in check though... That's a lot of destruction Ripley caused lol) EDIT 2: And imagine setting up history as the moment the Woodland Alliance got to be hated by the Riverfolk Company on the get go from this incident alone lol! If I ever learn the true though... My drive would probably push me in pushing Ripley under the bus. Or I'll have to fight my own driven nature because of it.

My point is that they dont know how the otter died yet. And Slithers story only mentionned the caravan have being under attack and that he arrived after the attackers were gone. Soooo... we can still blame it on the unknown attackers/bandits who fled the scene? Right?

As for the -1 reputation for Ripley, the only person in the know of that are from the bandit he was facing, the mangooses and him right? Why the minus of reputation with the riverfolk? Did he promised to protect him? Also, do maintaining my word toward the rabbit doctor and how I being acting should increase my reputation toward the denizens?

Slithers sigh heavily. He shake his head. " Such a shame. Thank you doctor, I'm sure you did all you could. As promised, I'll protect you while we go back to your wagon. We need to find our fox acquaintance and tell him he doesn't need to find a doctor anymore."

Slithers is surprised a hare has a name he would have expected from a cat. ” I’m a vagabond, my name is not important. As for the injured, I stumbled across him and a few others by chance and Miss Rikki kindness and politeness convinced me to help her… save… him.” He is struggling to breathe after this speech for a bit so he doesn’t talk after that. As they arrive, Slithers declares: “ Miss Rikki, you and your mangoose friend help the good doctor. I’ll stand guard to make sure you guys stay safe!” (This way, he stay true to his promise to the hare doctor. And it will justify the failed attempt to save the poor otter)

In this case, sorry mister Otter but nobody but Ripley can be blamed for the passing of this otter I don’t know anything about. And nobody can blame me for the lack of trying lol! (Ripley was the one who torched the guy right with the explosion? If I remember correctly?) EDIT: There! I think my actions posted show that I cared for their safety while still doing nothing concrete to save the otter. And I respected my promise to the good doctor doing so!

Ok, that didn't work. Lets try again: Roll EDIT: OMFG! I'll use the depletion + Exhaustion part to make it a partial success, barely saving the poor otter life. Really wish I didn't have to though. I dont even care about that otter lol EDIT 2: Can I be blamed if the Otter died? What would be the negative repercussions if he died? Would you guys mind if Slithers help wasn't enouigh to save it? And would the doctor would still have to get paid if we don't save it?
