So, you'd rather anger a powerful wizard who is our only ally than risk having a subpar child?
Well, yes. I am not risk averse. Besides I think it's a funnier story and more roleplayish
If I had my LIFE at stake, and that of my species, no way I'd risk angering Foghorn for no good reason. Just have Alice chat with him. Possible anger vs. certain rage...
He's got years of a head start and knows more about the world as it is. And you want to abandon all we have just so you can do the nasty with Foghorn's daughter?
1) Years of head start mean little, when we advance skills fast. Also in two month time he may need to fight with more than one night troll
2) If(when) we start hunting elves, we will need to change our base anyway.
1. You're making assumptions, such as "Night trolls learn dozens of times as fast as humans," "We'll be able to learn as well as Foghorn did despite not having a regular teacher," and "We'll be able to find/grow new night creatures quickly in those two months, and no one will hunt us, and they will risk their lives for us."
2.) Why? They have several big settlements right near our tower.
Yes, because Foghorn will not go looking for her and definitely hasn't been taking every precaution he can to be able to find her again, especially since she's gallivanting about with a night troll.
He has many daughters and is a pretty busy person to look out after his ranger daughter constantly.
It's getting old... Not that any of us will change his mind, and we overflood the topic
He doesn't have to look out for her constantly, just have a spell that lets him scry on her easily or something. If I was a wizardly father, I'd develop such a spell by the time my first child was 3. If I hadn't, I'd figure it out later, by the time my kids were hunting in dangerous woods or hanging out with more dangerous beings.
