[X ] Lethal
Blood for the blood god!
Blood for the blood god!
if we succeed and find out they hurt Anna we can still kill them most painfully can´t we? So there is really no harm in trying to solve this without bloodshed, they could have useful Informationto make us more powerfulto help us protect Anna and our Family from any further attempts.
I was under the assumption that 22 Intelligence is rather HIGH for a 10 year oldTalking wouldn't have been a bad idea but Elsa is a kid who isn't particularly intelligent or articulate
Eh, haven't looked at stats, that opinion was just taken from the dad's frustration with how little we know and in comparison to Anna. Point being I think expecting her to calmly talk her way out of this would stretch my suspension of disbelief.I was under the assumption that 22 Intelligence is rather HIGH for a 10 year old
oh okay nevermind then^^Humans have a +10 bonus on INT, and roll 1d20 for it.
Most kids have 20 as their average base stat. So do we, and only the Calculated trait allows us to be a tiny bit brighter than your average Joe.
That's a thought, going lethal could be straight up feeding. I'd be up for that, giving into the hunger and finally feeling satiated. I like character/narrative driven plots so having a moment of weakness here would be almost appropriate, especially since even Anna isn't exempt from our hunger.Both options sound interesting. Wouldn't even mind failing dice rolls and getting carried away in spite of our resistance.
If successful, going non-lethal probably would mean that the cultists would end up vanishing in some royal jail. But we still have a chance to talk to them and changing our mind about their actions later.
Going lethal would be satisfying, but might hurt our less-than-stellar (ice witch) reputation when we're found drenched in cultist blood... - might lessen our Hunger though?
For what it's worth, there's a pretty good chance that you could convince them to bring Anna with them and burn the rest.
Did you mean that the vote not to leave without Anna could/would be interpreted this way? Or was it a hypothetical situation?And if you guys decide to make Elsa the type of person who's fine with sacrificing the rest of her family to save Anna, well then that's the type of person you've made Elsa.
while the dead might indeed not cause problems, people finding frozen or completely drained (we are not a cannibal yet are we?) of life corpses on the other hand tend to cause a rather high number of them. not to mention that that can NOT be good for our Realtionship with daddy dearest (yes i know most of us do NOT care, but Anna would surely be displeased if we were to become a murderer.) and i do believe no one wants our parents or worse anna to watch over our every move in fear of us going "evil".
You're a bit late to the party.
While non-violent solutions can be attempted first, depending on the circumstances, this is not the time. I don't want to go with the crazy cult. And it is clear they are not taking 'no' for an answer.Now, if we fail the dice roll and kill our kidnapper, fine. If we need to go lethal in later fights, fine. But it should not be our first instinct in every situation.
I would expect a major freak out of Elsa over accidentally killing someone she did not want to kill at the very LEAST to be honest. Or a minor case of the cannibalistic munchies for a 1. (not just eating the soul but also a bit of the arm)Non-lethal is very much a "cake and eat it" type vote though, if it fails I expect the consequences of failure to be dire.
