I'm so racist, but I can't bring myself to care, because this is the internet and joking is a thing. Also, that unicorn isn't black, it's just a very, very dark grey. [/joking]
Fine, you've got me there, but I'm still watching that thing for the reasons I've stated. It's simply not trustworthy, considering our current circumstances.

Because it is a villain it cant be trusted?

Huh is this what they call a pot calling a kettle black?
 
I once read a book where Black Unicorns were Warrior Steeds for those seeking Justice.

They were capable of telepathy, and were especially powerful physically and magically. Only Virgins could ride them, a non-virgin attempting to would feel immense pain, making them fall off when the unicorn bucks them off, and then impaled.

So, are we seeking revenge, or are we seeking justice? There is a fine line between the two, but sometimes both cam be met.

Maybe the unicorn is attempting to redeem us in some way, take us off the path of the villain?

Maybe I am wrong, but I think we should do this.

[X] Tell the Unicorn what happened, be completely honest.
 
[X] "Play along" with the Unicorn
-[X] Keep an eye/ear/nose out for hidden threats
-[X] Realize that you are happier than you really should be right now.
-[X] Steel yourself for it's inevitable betrayal. If you aren't completely sure that it's evil when it betrays you, it'll make it ten times harder to kill it before it can subjugate you mentally.
[X] If the unicorn starts acting hostile, kill it and eat its heart.
 
Oh god damn it mind control! This never ends well

we probly should play along as IC we have no idea sigh Crit fails suck
 
Guys we dont know what it's goal is it's impossible to tell but if this is a crit sucess like the GM says then lets roll with it.

It could be hostile but with our regen i think we would have a good chance to survive a sneak attack on us . and if it wanted to kill us it could have attacked us while we where sleeping.



You are both wrong

It's Neutral!!! its an animal Guys... Hold on Maybe its attracted to those who fight fate like us? that would make it " Evil" in the eyes of many explaining the bad rap

(Palm X Hindu God) + Face = My reaction to this.
It can't be trusted because I'm pretty sure that it's Evil, and definitely sure that it's using Mind Control, as per word of GM.

And anything that uses Mind Control is, by definition, Evil, which, in this 'verse, is very different from being a Villain. Nothing excuses non-consensual Mind control. Nothing.

The only reason I haven't voted to kill it yet is because we don't know what it's going to do, and I don't know if we can take it in a fight, considering that it's in melee range and possibly more powerful than us, magically speaking.

It actually couldn't, you know. That's the whole point of sleeping in a tree, where it couldn't get to us.

Hmm, are you sure?

(Is this how the other GMs feel when they taunt their players? Because I completely understand why they do it now.)
 
Uh...if it's mind controlling us, wouldn't thinking of killing it at all be hilariously unwise because it'd know our hostile intent, has a grip on our mind and will screw us really hard?

[X] Don't kill it
[X] Play along with the Unicorn
-[X] Keep an eye/ear/nose out for hidden threats

Cooperate for now, it has our mind, but while we're alive we can find an opportunity out of this. It has easier ways to kill us.

Unless you are saying that
A.) Going against Heroes is inherently evil,
or
B.) There is a possibility that an entity invading your mind and altering you to suit it's whims regardless of your wishes, removing the whole point of living in the first place by divesting you of your ability to act as yourself, could be a good thing by the standards of your Quest,

then yes, I'm quite sure.

If it's going to screw us over, it's going to screw us over. It knowing that we think that it's going to screw us over won't make it screw us over if it isn't going to screw us over in the first place, and it having any more time to Mind-screw us over will screw us over in the long run even more than it's already screwing us over.

Possibly that. You see the shit Heroes get away with. They are Heroes, who could possibly say what they do is wrong.
Or, he's getting at that there is no Good or Evil, the Unicorn is just doing what it does, which just so coincidentally is mind control. It can't help it was born that way, with needs that must be met. Asking it to choose death over doing what it do is just silly.

Now, now, where did I say that?


Actually, it's less mind control, and more mind influence and who said that it can control its ability?

Why are you assuming it's intentionally using mind control? It could be a Glory Girl scenario, wherein it just passively uses the ability without any regards to control.

Think about it- you are a woodland creature who loves to eat and play peacefully. Except you just happen to have an ability to make everything around you docile and jovial as well. You never bother to learn about your ability, as you are unaware you ever had an ability. You continue being peaceful and jovial in sweet, blissful ignorance for the rest of your days, as everything around you is completely in accordance with your worldview.

Pretty sure that's what's up with the black unicorn here.

Just because it was born with the ability doesn't make it okay! That just means that it was born Evil! For Love and Justice, we must slaughter this beast and feast on it's innards!

... I'm actually kind of serious here. Just a bit. Half-joking.

Edit: Would eating it's heart give us a Charisma boost?
