Send the mother bear a few hours into the future with Eon magic, the cubs should be easy enough to deal with on their own.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Do that, then talk to the cubs.
Tame bear cubs? Awesome.

[Grek]

Send the mother bear a few hours into the future with Eon magic, the cubs should be easy enough to deal with on their own.

Actually, this.

[Mlamlah]

I agree.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

But if it fails, do grab Alice and jump on the tree

You stretch out your right arm and point at the angry Ursine, focusing your mana towards displacing it in time. The beast gets back down on all fours and begins to charge right at Alice! The creature closes the gap quickly before reaching swiping at the girl... and vanishing in a green flash just before the blow can land. 1d20 = 18 + 4(Skill) + 1(Perk) + 1(Tattoo) = 24

Alice blinks "Where did it go?"

"Several days, perhaps a week, into the future. I might have put a bit much into that spell." you smirk.

The girl clears her throat and speaks in elven. "Sir Beast... I think I owe you my life. If you desire to turn me into something... like yourself and make me your own, I will demand to my father that you be allowed to do so."

You nod. "Dearest Alice, I am flattered by your proposition and will surely take it into consideration, but for now we have three orphans of the forest before us. They will not survive until their mother is released from my mighty spell. Perhaps we can use this as an opportunity to allow me to practice the tongues of nature?"

Alice quickly switches gears and sets about coaching you in the art of speaking to bears. You find the process to be somewhat complicated, but with your companion's help eventually you open communication with the cubs. 1d20 = 12 - 3(Untrained Skill) + 5(Trainer's Skill) + 1(Tattoos) = 15

{Where did momma go?}

{Your mother is dead. The glowy green light ate her all up!}

{Waaaaaaaaaaaaah. No we are gonnna die!}

{No you are not. I shall take care of you three. Follow me!}

{Yaaaaaay!}

You are now faced with a bit of a decision, notwithstanding Alice's offer. You are still hungry, but you are not sure if hunting with three vulnerable bear cubs is the best idea. You also note that Alice seems to have soiled herself in fear, and could use a chance to tidy up and change pants.

-Hrmmm... should I return to the tower or keep moving?-

New 'Gift' Available!

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Are we some kind of damned elven ranger to care about those cubs? Betray them and have a nice meal!

Converting Alice is a tempting idea, but I doubt that her father would allow that even of she ask

Impregnating on the other hand... Her father wouldn't know if she doesn't tell, right? Let's eat the cubs and than take Alice to some river\lake to allow the girl to wash herself. We may wash, too.
 Then we'll consider having a funny time if she doesn't change her mind

[javierpwn]

But wouldn't having combat war bears to do our bidding be awesome? We could eon manipulate them to adulthood, but it would be risky.
llLet her wash at a river or something
We could even watch, we can turn somewhat invisible

[Ukrainian Ranger]

But wouldn't having combat war bears to do our bidding be awesome?

Awesome but unpractical...
1) We need to feed them,
2) War bears are very anti-stealth
3) We will fight against elves, and they may be able to reconvert bears
4) Bears are hard to use outside forests
5) We are hungry

[Grek]

We should A] let Alice go back to the tower with the bears to wash up. B] keep the bears for eventual training and/or emergency rations and C] try using a combination of stealth and hypnosis in the nearby river to catch and devour delicious fish.

[Mlamlah]

Yeah, lets let her go back to the tower with the cubs, we can figure out what to do with them later, but with training they *could* make handy guards. Let us attempt to hunt on our own.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Going fishing is a good idea, indeed. But I see no need to return to the tower if there are water source nearby. Alice may wash there.. Also bear cubs may be even able to catch some fish for themselves.

But  I still dislike the pets idea and would prefer to eat some bear meat

It is not about kindness, it is about having too few allies in a strange and mostly hostile world. Also, to impregnate her we would need to turn her, it is the Night Troll way. I think we should consider her offer, but not accept it outright. Be kind to her, and assure her we will not force her to do something she does not want to do. It is very nice having the option to turn her if we need to, but we shouldn't play the card right away. Sometimes merely holding the best hand gives a lot of power.

[javierpwn]

If we keep cubs,eventual hunting training so they bring us spare food
If we don't,stockpile in form of accelerating their time then keeping them looped(insta bear food if hungry)

[Ukrainian Ranger]

It is not about kindness, it is about having too few allies in a strange and mostly hostile world.

It's not about evilnesses, it about usefulness. And hunger

Also, to impregnate her we would need to turn her, it is the Night Troll way.

Are we really can impregnate only another night troll? Or any mating will change the mate even if we don't want to? I haven't seen anything in the thread about it

Be kind to her, and assure her we will not force her to do something she does not want to do.

Definitely, that's why I wrote - if she doesn't change her mind. Also it's a roleplay, we have a virgin troll and an alluring  female, aren't we far  too cool headed?
