    Hey, sometimes even I don't know which is the right choice until a couple dozen updates later. :happytrollboy:

    He flopped to B. Didn’t work out the way you wanted it to, did it? :lol:

    Yep. Which is why I use conditionals. There could always be a big flop to 1A.

    The vote is probably closed by now, but I feel the need to pitch in.

    E is not about sitting in the bushes trying to "spot" anything.
    It's about staying in reserve and being equidistant from the targtets so we could potentially cover all of them, applying ourselves where we may be needed most... at a cost of a delayed response.
    People have said it already that Sophie is under no current threat, and there is a chance she won't be threatened at all.

    Alright, double-checked the votes. Seems to be BD then.

    if Elizabeth gets the gun i'm voting we switch over to playing her
    :M

    people voting for a bootless creep with a sling have serious halfling fetish issues
    :M

    we're not playing a 10yo child, we're playing a 0th level character partway to becoming 1st level and choosing skills - and doing it wrong thanks to boot- and gun-averse faggotry afoot

    Well, I don’t think Tlalli would offer us a slingshot if it’s useless.

    We don't know that. It is also possible that we are choosing a weapon for a job based on the skills we have.

    Because we definitely are playing a 10yo child at the moment, and sometimes there will be an Alexei to remind us of that.

    Obviously a longer, sharper knife would be better, but no one wanted to pick the knife.

    In fairness, even a revolver would have a hard time killing a bear-sized creature.

    Not quite, I had edited my post immediately after ItsChon posted. I changed it to BD after ItsChon suggested that I switch to something that would affect the final vote. Because this all happened within five minutes of my original post, you can't see that I had edited it. So when he quoted me, I actually was voting for AD.

    On the other hand, a sling in the hands of a good-hearted shepherd hunter boy is a proven giant-killer.

    Ladies, ladies, you're all beautiful. There's no need to fight.
    It's also a well-known trope in heroic sagas that a little boy standing up to seasoned warriors will inevitably impress them into adopting him. But I doubt we'd want to be adopted by changelings, so...

    I wonder what kind of sling we're getting? Whether it's one of the the legit David & Goliath ones, a Y-Sling, or an H-Sling. Some of these can actually generate a decent amount of power. B was originally my conditional so I don't really mind that we picked it.

    By the way, had 2A won, Lambchop would've gotten enough ammo for I TOLD YOU SO for many many updates to come.

    What about 2C? Actually, instead of doing them by onesies and twosies, what were the best to worst options?
