Okay, I know how to check how uranium works in this universe.

1) Tie or tape the sword to the kobold;
2) Tie him up so he can't move;
3) Hang him from a tree (by his legs, we don't want a dead kobold, and neither do we want an escape one);
4) Observe the results in several days.
IT'S A FOOLPROOF PLAN GUYS

For the record, I'm opposed to this plan.

Recall: I suggested giving us the armor, to mitigate backstabs. Even if we presume treachery, which I won't, the kobold can't be stupid enough to just attack us. We've also killed two of his companions with ease, within his sight, and came within a slightly lucky roll of killing him.

That's not what he's (presumably jokingly) worried about, though. It's whether that uranium armor is going to mutate X like the cutebold insisted it wouldn't before laughing maniacally.

[GreatWyrmGold]

Hm. Well, I'm not convinced. The GM specifically said it would be safe, the kobolds were using it to no great ill effect, etc etc.

We've got no use for uranium chainmail, unlike the cutebold. We already wear halfling plate mail, so unless we want to wear extremely heavy armor made from an element very ill-suited (by virtue of being extremely heavy and toxic) for armor on top of plate mail, to the cutebold it should go. Let the little thing mutate. Best case scenario, it mutates into something useful, worst case scenario, it goes crazy and we have to put it down. Win-win, really.

Aside from the fact that the nuclear cutebold was glowing and poisonous to the touch, you mean?

[Xantalos]

Hence give it to the kobold. As a GIFT.
DON'T YOU LIKE OUR GIFTS, KOBOLD?!

Nope, worst case is 'nothing of interest happens', though I doubt Weirdsound would allow such atrocity to happen in his game.

[GreatWyrmGold]

We do? Missed that.
That...changes things.

But unharmed.

I don't recall the GM ever specifically stating this. If anything, he lampshaded the opposite by saying it comes with lead carrying cases so we can loot (not "wear") it safely.

He might have suffered side effects that weren't immediately obvious in combat. More to the point, he might have been glowing green and poisonous to the touch, something a halfling paladin of Chinook might be averse to.

I'm still opposed to mutating the cutebold. He's (she's?) useful as a skirmisher and cuter while not green.

I do agree that because of our divine riding ability, technically we should be able to wear the uranium without suffering any movement-related consequences whatsoever, so long as we remain mounted on Albus. That's still something I might not want to bank on, but it'd be an option were we not worried about the mutation thing.

WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO PREFERS NORMAL CUTEBOLDS TO URANIUM-PLATED HORRORS?

Like most things that question sounded more reasonable in my head.

[Xantalos]

The kobold that was radioactive was unharmed.
Maybe - and hear me out, this is crazy, I know - maybe it was some sort of radioactive monster or something? And maybe the Kobold's evil laugh should tell us that it will harm us because we're not radioactive?

It was probably the cutebold equivalent of a ghoul, thus explaining everything!

[Weirdsound]

Vigorous debate over the merits of uranium armor

"Shilly playwers. I cawnt wear newclear armer unwess I choose 2 becum newclear kobold at level thwee. Reed mah damn charactar sheet. I can not haz safteyz in newclear armer until then. I prowimise it ish perfectlee safe 4 mastah and all uther halfwings tho. No dangers for dem whatsoeva. Hehehehehe..."

[Xantalos]

Why don't you carry it for us so we can properly protect you, then?

[IronyOwl]

Oh my god, we can get a cutebold mage?

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!


Anyway, that settles it:

Loot everything, retain current gear, have cutebold carry things if necessary, go to chaos shrine.


Also I wanna draw an image to get on the cutebold's good side but I don't think I can manage cuter than the current pog. >_>

...what is that thing and where did it come from, anyway?

My sister has a strange obsession with and collection of purple elephants. One of them is a Chibish bobblehead. All the Kobold creatures in this game will be photos of purple elephants put through various color filters on my chromebook camera. Its a pain because I can't take photos on my PC, and I can't make pogs on my chromebook.

Anybody have any objections to Irony's course of action? Or a better idea? I've seen lots of intelligent debate on gear, but not so much on where to go next.

I thought the radioactivity of the kobold was caused by the uranium, not the other way around?

You only just noticed?

Well, I could also draw a cutebold picture. I've been meaning to. What do you imagine them to look like?

[Xantalos]

No, GWG. The radioactivity of the Kobold merely boosted the uranium.
