Re: Tentacle Lair Evolution!
You're saying our tree is useless, so you want to leave our current host, the one most likely able to influence the other two around, in the hopes of possibly setting up a lair at some third runestone that may or may not exist yet?
We managed to infect our current host because she was asleep. Tora has already given us the option to do things with her body before she awakens, So it's fairly obvious we can exert a decent amount of control (Hence what we're trying to do here even giving us the option to do it subtly). Even if our spawn can't do the same, they should still be able to influence the other two to agree with us. That should be more than enough to get them to go down for the runestone, and laying the egg should only take a few seconds. In, place, out, next.
The encounter with the necromancer is going to happen whether we wish for it or aim to avoid it, I doubt we'd have enough time to drain the runestone and leave before he shows up. We need to be in a position of power. Since we're going to have tons of energy from the runestone, spending what we have now to ensure that doesn't seem so bad to me. I don't much care how many between the five hosts survive the encounter, but if we already have ourselves and spawn in three of them, we should be able to handle it fine. If they want the necromancer dead, then so be it. if purple is actually in the prisoner, we should be able to deal with that as well.
We have a good host now, I really dont want to leave her so soon to go for the weakest (At first, I admit she could be immensely useful later) one of our current choices, when we can have the same results without doing so. As it stands, we should be able to get the runestone first with all three of our current group under our partial control, which is really all we could hope for with Ket regardless, if we wish to keep the other two around.
((Going OOC a bit here))Yes, everyone can unlock different paths. but do you honestly think Tora wants us to switch overlords like hats? Surely it can't be beneficial to try and break the system like that. A stable leader promotes a sense of unity, which should allow us to remain decisive when we need to be, instead of squabbling over every action, which he can use to make us hesitate when it's needed. Do you really think that's for the best? We can still gain new trees without that, as has been showing so far. I think you're just out for the job, as it were. I don't horribly care, though I would be sad to lose it. I take the best option i can think of, and change it if someone else comes up with a better one. If i lose it because of that, so be it, but if you're willing to conttinually contradict me to try and take my place (As has been shown), you'd probably do the same to keep the position, and that could get us into a lot of trouble.
