Yeah. We have a HAT! I would be all for fighting gentleman if I thought we stood a chance. But we don't. With a lucky shot we might hit a weakpoint. More likely? He would block with the claw then decapitate us. Effortlessly. For all his personality, Gentleman still asks like a robot, unlike AG. He's faster and more efficient than us, and would end the fight in an instant.

(also: after this meeting with the Doctor, we should dive into one of the giant orb things. I dunno why.)

[Ultimuh]

Well if we have to cast a vote on it, I would not change my mind.

[Kadzar]

I say we relinquish the sword to Gentleman so we can get past him and speak with Dr. Feringus. More of Scree's kind will die if we don't stop her soon.

Spoiler: Tally (click to show/hide)

I imagine we’re going to need a tally for pretty much every update from here on. I ended up splitting this between how to deal with Gentleman and what to do with the sword since there was a fair melange of opinions.

Diplomacy: III
Fight: II
Ignore / Find Feringus: IIII

Throw/Relinquish Sword: IIII
Keep Sword: IIII
(not indicated): I

Tell him we mean him nor the doctor no harm.

inform gentleman that we just want to speak with the Doctor, and couldn't harm her if we tried anyway.

You insist that you certainly don’t mean either of them any harm, and even if you did, you don’t think you’re even capable of hurting Feringus. Besides, it was her own orders for you to explore and report back, which you haven’t done yet.

“Oh, boo hoo hoo. I recall getting a face full of roboknuckle not so long ago – and look at me now! I ought to be the ‘after’ picture for AuxBot Facial Enchancements. ‘Harmless?’ A bold-faced lie if you ask me.”

Shove past Gentleman and enter the ship.

You’ve had about enough of this prick. You tell him that you’re going to talk to the doctor and he can go ahead and just stay out here by himself.

He doesn’t move. “Advancing on me? Oho! Awfully threatening coming from such a historically dangerous robot, you know! Your damaged memory chip might just be scratching the surface of your malfunction. Who knows how unbalanced you are?”

He stares at you darkly. “Seems to me that the thing an honest, morally upstanding robot assistant would do is make sure such a potential glitch gets resolved.”

[Ultimuh]

Clearly, diplomacy is no option here.

Draw sword and tell him to let us pass.

[Jim Groovester]

Well, geez. He's just asking for a fight, isn't he.

Although we should probably take a lesson from him in how he's circumventing his instructions, since we're probably going to have to do that pretty soon.

Shout a witty one-liner and shove past him.

[Haspen]

Shout a witty one-liner and shove past him.

Also, tell him that he is the aggresive one, as he have his weapon at ready (claw) while we do not.

[Armok]

Throw the sword away but keep track of where it goes so we can retrive it later. Point out you indeed have been sumoned liek somone sugested above.

[Jim Groovester]

No, don't throw the sword away.

Never throw the sword away.

[Ultimuh]

No, don't throw the sword away.

Never throw the sword away.

Never ever. It's the only defense we have.

[Armok]

Ok how abaut this: we throw it in such a way it looks like we're throwing it away, but in fact it'll bounce back from somehting and return to our hand when he has his guard down?

[mnjiman]

He has convinced himself that there is a problem with us. If he believes this then we have to take the defensive.

The thing is, if we attack he is going to block it with his hand.

If we attack, we should attack with our whip first, then attack with our sword. This way we can force him to claw on the whip.


If we do use the whip (and since we our experts at using it. We should attack his lower left leg in a attempt to toss him off the platform. If he bends down to stop the whip with his metal claw, we attack while he is in this position.

[Soadreqm]

Yeah, definitely don't throw the sword away. I suggest we keep trying to talk to him, though. Wait for him to attack first. And when he does, try to knock him off the walkway.

>"For such an honest, morally upstanding robot assistant, you are showing a remarkable capacity for ignoring your orders. Maybe that's why Feringus never trusted you?"

[eerr]

You want to know if I will harm her, right?

Is she harming the beasts?
