Well if things go bad as I fear, we have an heir that can flee the country and become leader of the griffons in exile.

Do the whole Samurai Jack thing for him, training up to defeat the evil that is Sombra.

Can our knights carry torches given the shadow and apparent flammable nature of the enemy's elite or is the winter storm too powerful for that?

If we're going to send them against eldritch abominations they can't even look at to fight, we might as well see if they can have a weapon that can hurt them at all. Since our flamethrowers are near stationary if not entirely stationary and won't be a factor in this fight.

I think there is quite a difference between the strenght of a flamethrower's flame, and that of a torch.

Also the blizzard, as you said. If the choice is between a sword/axe/spear and a torch i think the weapon is probably better, especially as there are also the soldiers and not just the shadow beasts.

I've changed my mind.
yes! i still have hope!

Yeah, it's kind of reaching. Just would be nice to turn suicidal action into not so suicidal somehow.
 
@LuckyShadowWolf You have the only non standard vote, you might want to change yours.
already tried, it seems he's not online. Sadly for me cause his vote is reaaaally close to the run option, but i don't think i can really count it as part of them.

If he had just added the "traps" as a -[] suboption instead! :cry:
Is it wrong that I think a few of the votes are just people's alt accounts?
i remember a couple of times that happened in other quests and they were discovered. I think they check for it, especially when it's the first post of the account.

eh, i know. It's not guaranteed defeat, but it's a pretty hefty bet. All-in or nothing/very heavy losses.

I just hope there isn't too much salt if the worst happens (or too much "i told you so" if we succeed, for that matter. It's really up to chance anyway, and we can't foresee how the dice will roll)

And our son is still too young to succeed us in case the worst happens! If he was older I'd be a bit calmer.
 
If you have evidence, report it. Otherwise, shush. This kind of speculation is really rude.
eh, it's not like he accused specific people. Still I think they're usually discovered and i agree that without proofs it's not really woth talking about.

I'm really not comfortable with such a close vote, it's less than 1% difference.
eh,it happens. Honestly it's a good sign, it means people are really invested in the story

the alternative is to wait for even longer, and there is a good chance the difference would stay small anyway. And i want to see what happens next!

At least you're on the winning side, what should I (or the other 50+ people in the "run" camp) say? :p

@Questor any comment on the situation? the 100+ votes must be a hefty ego boost, especially if this is your first quest :D (unless you have others on other websites)

Actually I changed my vote, so I'm currently in the losing camp.
 
Honestly at this point idk what vote is right anymore. Since it all really depends on the dice. And I doubt questor would give us a bad option to take so it's really all up to Lady Luck regardless of which option wins.
 
Pony Sauron. Leave no traces. Especially if those traces seem to communicate in some fashion.

But think about how much useful information pony Sauron could have. Why not bind him in chains and take him back to the capital as an advisor? I'm sure we're all smart enough to not fall for his schemes. Parade him around the capital, and exploit him for all he's worth. :V

uh, my bad. hard to keep track of it all.

eh, i don't think there really is a right vote. Just a "high risk highest rewards" and a "lower risk, lower rewards". And of course i could still be wrong on which is which.

For those who didn't read the Silmarillion, that's what they did to Sauron as well.

He convinced the Numenoreans (human descendants of elves, of the half-elf Elros (Elrond's brother) if we want to be specific) To attack the gods.

It didn't end well for them. Think "Atlantis" level bad.

In the interest of avoiding a tie and not leaving the result up to a tiebraker roll...

[X] Blow the Charges and Bury Them!

I feel like retreating is going to benefit Sombra a lot more than us. Normally, I wouldn't take such a risky action, but we're in a bad situation and I feel that "Blow the Charges and Bury Them!" is a better option than "Blow the Charges and Run!", even after taking into account how risky the "Blow the Charges and Bury Them!" option is.
