That works fine.Would the second question count as two questions? Both are closely linked to each other and I don't know if the answer would purposely exclude knowledge about the kind of dangers we would face. A forested valley for example might not just include a literal gold mine, but a huge pack of wolves that could be turned into a mountain of fur coats.
We're getting offered a chance to ask any three questions about ourselves or our situation and y'all are just asking where we can gain the most gossamer from? We can figure it out by exploring. It's not like we're not already flush w/ gossamer anyways. & it's better to learn a little more about all of our competitors than to learn just *who* our greatest challenge will be, not even *how* or *why* they are our biggest challenge."Sorry, those are the rules." The man waggled a finger. "What I can do is offer you a bit of advice. Ask me three questions about yourself or your situation and I will answer them." He shrugged and sipped at his tea.
I can give a bit more time I'd rather not have separate questions though. The updates would be a bit short then.@Lost Star, would you being willing to give a bit more time than normal for discussions to accumulate on how to handle this? And, separately, could we take votes for each question instead of all of them at once?
I'm going to guess this means we won't get any hints interspersed with the answers as to exactly how the denizen is dangerous or what it's trying to do.I'd rather not have separate questions though. The updates would be a bit short then.
I'm swapping this question out because it might count as multiple questions and it's possible that it no longer counts as our situation; it's asking for a total of 21 separate pieces of information, and we might be able to ask questions about "our rivalry" or "the Dream Catcher's competition", but not directly about "the Moth" or "the nightmare of burning alive".[] What are the strengths, flaws, and goals of each of my competitors?
I think the "the" should be a "my"; "the biggest problem" might give us a general answer about the real world or the dream realm we can't do anything about, if we've sufficiently underestimated the scale of "or you situation".
Nope@Lost Star Would "[] What are the strengths, flaws, and goals of each of my competitors?" count as multiple questions?
I think this is a poor question. Yes, we probably will get details on something that concerns us a great deal. However, whatever it is will be a past event, and if we don't understand whatever we are told about the problem predicting the future cascade effect of the problem won't be easy.
The dream vision stuff seems quite off the mark, since the denizen said "advice" and "answer" rather than "show you" or "see about". Other than that, this is a good point; how do we make sure our question hits upon the most important thing to our plans and actions? Because you see, if we put in the caveat "[...]problem I've overlooked that I can do something about", then we're also cutting off potentially more important things that we might not be able to do anything about directly, but we would much prefer to know for our plans. We could also simply change to "I'm overlooking", which will cover current problems but also won't exclude previous problems still overlooked if they're more important.
[X] Go to an art store, buy some a couple of canvases, some paint. Spend time creating art in order to process and decompress what he's learned and wants to do.
afaik he does more art than just drawing. p wrong tho.Dunno, sounds kinda expensive, both on the financial side and on the time side, which probably will cause us to forgot something, so I would rather just get down to it instead of wasting time
Also painting does not equal drawing, so doing it might not even be all the relaxing cause of the beginner mistakes that he is aware of but would make anyway from the lack of experience
so down to something simple
[X] Draw
-[X] Theme
--[X]Dragons & Stars, maybe draw a dragon made out of Stars
--[X] review what you have learned and what it implies,
---[X] compare it to the memories that you were shown by the dream catcher
----[X] maybe try to draw these as well
