Pretty sure it's survived hiatus longer than this before.
Simply be patient, my friend.

[RAM]

It has survived rather long hiatuses in the past, but I don't see the odd bump being inappropriate. It can be easy for old projects to fall from one's consciousness...

[Kamani]

Okay.

[Egan_BW]

With that in mind...
BUMP

Monk pls update this again. Would make very happy.

[Baffler]

Likewise. This game is in a league all it's own.

[syvarris]

Dang it Egan, you got my hopes up.  I had a brief moment of thinking this had somehow come back...

But, yeah, Monk.  If you're reading this, come baaaack!

[Egan_BW]

Don't blame me if you're only noticing now. I bumped this 14 days ago, Kamani bumped just yesterday, and I replied.

Dear God, I'm looking back at some of my earlier posts. *Severe Cringe*

Sorry for those who dealt with Idiot Porkins.
Now its time to show who i really am!
SLIGHTLY-REASONABLE PORKINS!

I think we should just tell Eko about us. Trying to hide it is just going to make us more suspicious.

[Egan_BW]

And, more importantly in my mind, as long as he doesn't know we can't really tell him what we're doing, or synergize death and order.

[syvarris]

Apologies, Egan.  I didn't check the timestamps, and I only got two emails--one for your post, and one for Baffler's.  Odd.

[Baffler]

And, more importantly in my mind, as long as he doesn't know we can't really tell him what we're doing, or synergize death and order.

Yeah. It's better if he doesn't know, but he's a smart guy and the longer he's with us the more likely it is that he'll just realize on his own. I still think finding the thing remotely controlling the golem is the best way forward, but we don't need him to start thinking we're the reason the zombies got past his wards (especially since he knows we can pass through the sanctuary) or that we have some secret evil motive for coming here in the meantime.

On the other hand Omo didn't take the news well and we've known him for years. As much as Eko might like us, he has much more reason than Omo to assume we're evil by default if he finds out.

[Egan_BW]

Of course, if he reacts bad enough to just attack us, we could always just suck his lifeforce out.
Can't be that hard to justify murder to yourself, right?~

WOuldn't that be self defence? I mean if he seriously attacks us with only or magical discipline as provocation then it would be perfectly justified. 

[Kamani]

Killing him, even in self defense, is probably a bad idea.

[RAM]

Killing him, in self-defence, is preferable to death, but is still very deep into intolerable territory. Also, if we get attacked again, then without the wards, we would quickly exhaust our mana and be defenceless... So losing Eko is not really a good plan, but, on the other hand, Eko knowing about us being a necromancer is pretty much all good. The only downside is "the more who know, the further the knowledge will spread" and the risks of a bad outcome of actually telling them. The long-term problems are almost non-existent, and it would be a huge boon to our collaborations both magical and intellectual. My inclination is to hand them a note explaining our desire to provide a unique effort to revive the soul-drained, the danger of the woods, and the threat of entire nations turned into lifeless zombie-infested deserts and then hide amidst some nearby trees. It would hopefully be more intellectual than emotive, slowing their inclination to get revenge for all the soul-sucking incidents and stop them from having an immediate target to focus upon, while still providing the opportunity to answer questions and so forth. I do fear that a necessary sacrifice would be to engage in rather extreme honesty. We could likely remain somewhat cagey about the elves, given that there safety could be endangered by such things, but really, answering all sorts of awkward and embarrassing questions promptly and openly is likely the only way to retain trust...
