Yay, Amazon Brigade...


Anyways, I suggest we say something like, "I'm sorry, but I do not know the prayer. My father was not religious, so I had no way of learning any of the rituals of Nocteclaw. I would, however, very much like to learn. Could you teach me?"

[Ukrainian Ranger]

I see one little problem. Can we be sure that we can trust the mermaid? What if she'll force us to say some prayer that is bad for us?

I'll go one further.
Can we trust anything she just said is true?
DO NOT RELEASE HER.
Ask our good old friend if he wants to "question" a mermaid that told us her family will be trying to kill his.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

No, no, no. Giving her in hands of Foghorn = losing her

And judging by our knowledge about merfolks her words looks true

[Descan]

I would not be against starting an underwater Night Troll race by converting the mermaid and impregnating her, then shipping her and the kid off to the water eventually.

I just don't know the logistics of it... Maybe a swimming pool in the tower to keep the water-borne Night Troll and consort that result from that wet until we can be sure they'll survive in the oceans?

Agreed.

Her family will be trying to kill Foghorn and his family.
Yet another reason not to convert Alice.

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Isn't that reason to convert Alice? She would be harder to kill and they should be more  reluctant to kill a night troll

[GreatWyrmGold]

On the other hand, they would want to kill US. And it's debatable how much being a night troll really helps in combat. No pain, sure, but that's as much a curse as a boon...

[Ukrainian Ranger]

Either we stay Foghorn's ally and get merfolk enemies, or we become merfolk friends and Foghorn enemy.  There are no other "safe" option. Yes, we got some enemies, congratulations

[GreatWyrmGold]

Or we could ally the mermaid and, with her help, convince the other merfolk to not kill Foghorn. Worst comes to worst, we don't tell Foghorn that we were working with the merfolk.

[racnor]

Eh... not really much of a choice. I'd much rather have foghorn and alice behind me than some random mermaids. Besides, we don't know if we can convince the other merfolk to help us. I agree with the religious contrition angle for Kelpmier III. Bemoan our stunted upbringing.
Finally, I don't think Foghorn has any problems with mer in general, Its just that a few of them want him dead. It might still be a good idea to send Alice to warn him later, though.

Mermaid said that this is impossible. If you hope that our communication skill is that good. Good luck

Alice have magic mirror to contact with her father any moment she want. And likely she will do no matter if we ask her or not. We may try to force her not too, but that's a way to ruin our friendship

Your communication skill went up! I'm in a rush and will figure out what that means for your perks and skills when I get back home![/b]

And GM... let me remind that

Well, with out communication skills not ideal, I'd advise more...unsubtle methods of persuasion. Make sure they understand that Foghorn has powerful allies, imply that we're terrified of some of them, use the same logic as we did on our captured mermaid, and flee if it turns bad. What do we have to lose? Worst-case scenario, we timeshift out before they hurt us too much. Maybe listen to ourselves if we send a note to ourselves warning against talking with them and send a note back if it turns nasty...

So remind her to contact him.

I'd rather try for both.
