[23:06] <Radio_Controlled> Hey, The_Black_Dice, those Dolmen are willing to trade with us, right?
[23:08] <The_Black_Dice> yeah, they'll trade
[23:08] <The_Black_Dice> like I said, they want food
[23:08] <The_Black_Dice> dolman needs food badly
[23:08] <Radio_Controlled> In that case, would they want to go fetch those tablets et all of us in exchange for food, or will one of us really have to go there himself?
[23:09] <The_Black_Dice> you can ask them to go get them, they're ok with that. Just remember that they're blind
[23:09] <The_Black_Dice> and don't care about that stuff
[23:10] <Radio_Controlled> Those tablets were carved though, right? Or are the symbols in ink?
[23:10] <The_Black_Dice> carved
[23:10] <The_Black_Dice> I'm just saying, it might amount to nothing
[23:10] <ER> slithery slithery olmmen
[23:10] <Radio_Controlled> And if one of us does want to go, how long are these underwater stretches?
[23:11] <Radio_Controlled> Hold-your-breath long, or more suit-up-diver?
[23:11] <The_Black_Dice> they'd tell you the longest one is and then count out numbers on their fingers for about 20 seconds
[23:11] <The_Black_Dice> that long
[23:11] <Radio_Controlled> Ah, not to bad for Ecalir then? Good.
[23:12] <Radio_Controlled> I'm sure that solid block of granite posing as a man can handle that.
[23:12] <ER> I feel like Behiar is still about as useful now as she was before I started being her
[23:12] <ER> that is she's just kinda there and not mentioned much.
[23:13] <The_Black_Dice> kinda on you, buddy boy
[23:13] <Radio_Controlled> But she's getting stronger!
[23:13] <Radio_Controlled> Once we leave the cave you could probably go for another 'level'.
[23:13] <Radio_Controlled> And she'll be able to use all of that moolah to get some sweet kit for herself.
[23:13] <The_Black_Dice> or she can bang eclair
[23:13] <The_Black_Dice> either way really
[23:14] <ER> I mean
[23:14] <ER> you can promise me things will happen when we leave the cave, but I'm not confident that will ever happen
[23:15] <Radio_Controlled> She want some of that eclair's pudding filling.
[23:15] <Radio_Controlled> Depends on what you mean with that exactly.
[23:16] <Radio_Controlled> After we leave the cave, we can go on another type of adventure, or just explore for a while.
[23:16] <Radio_Controlled> PW, other than the tablets, what do the Dolmen we just met have to trade, if anything?
[23:16] <ER> I took a picture of myself eating an eclair with the intention of posting it in the thread but couldn't figure out how to get it from my phone to my computer easilly so eh
[23:17] <Radio_Controlled> Do they currently possess/have access to any trinkets that are valuable for us (and probably not for them)?
[23:18] <The_Black_Dice> The dolmen are rather simple in terms of what they have, but they have a lot of knowledge of the underground
[23:18] <The_Black_Dice> they're mainly hunter gatherers
[23:18] <The_Black_Dice> with no real desire for the "treasures" humans like
[23:18] <Radio_Controlled> Sure, but they're known to trade with people right? So don't they have an idea by now what type of useless srap those strange topside monkeys like?
[23:19] <Radio_Controlled> I mean, Darwin could trade for like 20 mana in food with them, and more if needed, so we might as well fleece them for all they're worth :p
[23:20] <The_Black_Dice> Hmm. If they have treasures, which they might. They are...sort of very long lived in a fashion, they wouldn't be carrying them on an expedition like this. If you were to go with them to their home though, they'd have more
[23:24] <Radio_Controlled> About how far is their village from here?
[23:25] <The_Black_Dice> Oh...two turns or so?
[23:26] <Radio_Controlled> Because instead of going with them to their village, I'd prefer to just give them some more food in exchange for them going to their crib and hauling the goods over here.
[23:26] <ER> I wannar get them tablets
[23:26] <Radio_Controlled> Lazy wizard is lazy.
[23:26] <ER> please?
[23:27] <Radio_Controlled> You wanna go look for them manually ER? We can let the Dolmen haul them over as well, but then they might just keep bringing the wrong stuff.
[23:27] <ER> "Here's 15 tons of prepared liver, please give me everything in your attic."
[23:27] <Radio_Controlled> Basically.
[23:28] <ER> We better go get them ourselves.
[23:28] <The_Black_Dice> They'll get you the tablets they know about
[23:28] <The_Black_Dice> I'll tell you that much
[23:28] <The_Black_Dice> But they can't see things and they have no magic
[23:28] <Radio_Controlled> How about you and Ecalir go do that, while I spend the coming turns making that food and negotiating for further trade?
[23:28] <The_Black_Dice> so there might be more that you could do they can't
[23:29] <Radio_Controlled> Then you two have more to do and we can wrap all of this up a little faster. Does that sound like a plan?
[23:30] <ER> yeah, okay
[23:30] <Radio_Controlled> Cool.
[23:32] <Radio_Controlled> So, pw, do the lizard peeps have stuff in their village that they think we might like? If yes, what kind of stuff?
[23:33] <Radio_Controlled> ((Could do this questiong in the turn if you prefer, but now tat we're in Stasi interrogation mode we might as well keep going.))
[23:33] <ER> I assume it is less like "tell me what stuff you've got" and more "haul me everything in your attic and I'll look through it."
[23:34] <ER> using this room to interogate PW on every small detail is a valued tradition ;P
[23:34] <The_Black_Dice> Well, the lizards have been down there a long time. A very very long time
[23:34] <The_Black_Dice> and lots of stuff comes through those waterways
[23:35] <The_Black_Dice> they fish out the good stuff
[23:35] <The_Black_Dice> a lot like the relic fishers up top but they get first picks
[23:35] <The_Black_Dice> they also get at the sources
[23:36] <The_Black_Dice> Probably some goodies
[23:38] <Radio_Controlled> Nice. But to have a shot at those, one of us will have to go take a look at them in person, I'm starting to think from your descriptions.
[23:39] <Radio_Controlled> If Darwin wanted to go to the village to take a look at the goods himself, would the journey require going underwater? Or could he take the boat?
[23:39] <Devastator> So how do you make food with magic?
[23:40] <Radio_Controlled> Darwin has viscera as a word.
[23:40] <Devastator> Ahh, right.
[23:40] <Radio_Controlled> So, summon some viscera.
[23:40] <Devastator> so steaming platter of entrails.
[23:40] <Radio_Controlled> Hey, those are a delicacy!
[23:41] <Devastator> Freddie would enjoy you.
[23:41] <Radio_Controlled> Armor penetration testing questions had a very important function Dev.
[23:50] <The_Black_Dice> The village would require some underwater bits but nothing terrible
[23:52] <Radio_Controlled> Yeah, I'll just have Darwin go over and take a look, speed all this up a little.
[23:52] <Radio_Controlled> What rolls would be needed for the swimming and underwater stuff, peedubs?
[23:53] <The_Black_Dice> with the lizards guiding you, none
