Too bad we don't have that huge electricity sword on us, it would be hilariously useful here.

I don't think characters can die off-camera unless we do something stupid.

I wouldn't make that assumption at all.

-1 switching for now.  I still say Proxxy would be a more interesting switch, regardless.


+1 to attempting to bloodshape electricity skill (after changing to Dwarven).  Now's the time to try, since we have a spare moment.

Al peeks to the Right to see what's ahead.

Eh, why not.

+1 to attempting to Bloodshape an electricity skill. Specifically...let's say shocking grasp. We'll have a better chance of not getting something useless if we don't leave it up to the GM's imagination, and touch-range spells are probably cheaper.
But first, change title to Dwarven for Shenanigans bonus.

We should just really keep Dwarven as the default or something. We only need knight when guarding, diabolical when doing what it says, reborn when fiddling with plot, and practical fighter when doing smart fighting tactics. Shenanigans come up much more frequently than any of the above really. Maybe we should try to find/create something that autoswaps to the most applicable title for the action.

+1 either way to the above post.

Wouldn't a ranged attack be better?

Then downvote it and suggest another specific spell.
Besides, lightning bolt spells always bugged me. Electricity doesn't work like that!

Neither does Shocking Grasp. Realistically, the shock would harm the user too.

Not if the spell generates the electric shock at the victim, not the hand.

Summary:
-1 to switching POV at all for now
Contact the Voice and tell him about Cain's message


Also, if we do start talking to the Voice and he seems to be in a good mood, we should ask him who all the siblings are.  While we already know this, Ciro doesn't.  It will be interesting to see her reaction to that.
+1 to all this. Very Reasonable.

WHAT oh. You kind of zoned out there. Slog would be worried if he wasn't so Slog. Whatever, Ecco can wait. You've got an IDEA.

Eh, why not.

(Bloodshape: 9+2 Shenanigans+2 BLOOD) You switch your title to Dwarven and bloodshape a skill, but all evidence suggests this is NOT something you can do. Oh well. At least THAT obvious failure didn't cost you any SP.
