...Okay guys, I think we should use the talisman this turn, to ensure perfect safety.

Then, we should discuss how exactly we're going to approach turn three. I think we should figure out how to break the game, given the time we have.

What's your suggestion?

What if we parley? Send someone to talk to the other teams with a white flag, and offer to set aside our differences to protect the town from bandits. We have a common enemy, the villaie would be okay with the protection, and we can figure out how to split things up after.

That sounds like a better idea that hoping our defense holds...

Let's do both. We can use the talisman to protect the town, and while we're under its protection, Ochre and I will go talk with the other armies about the bandit problem and try to get everyone working together.

That sounds like a good plan.

Should we?

This is the Caretaker's game, why're we tryin' ta break it?

Well, he didn't say we could only do what the commander said.

He just said that our choices had weight.

So... I'm just making a different choice.

Well, maybe we can do somethin' about those bandits, then.

...Then let's do that. We'll extend feelers to the other armies, parley, and try to beat the bandits.

...I'm willing to be one of the ones to go meet with the others, since there's some risk involved.

I'll take the other.

Ain't a lotta people in any of the other teams that can take me down.

Then that's that. We'll use our talisman to cover us while doing that, then?

Sounds like a plan.

Now just ta get everyone else ta agree.

What if we cast blind on the bandits? Or, heck, even petrify.

[BANDITS ARE NPCS RIGHT IT'S OKAY TO PETRIFY NPCS]

Thought we could only use each spell once?

Besides, if they're bandits, I'd use petrify. Blind ain't gonna stop them fer long, but petrify'd mean we could get in and deal with them before they turn back.

That counts for the spells, too? Haa. . .

[rubs the back of his head with a frown]

Save petrify, in case we decide we've gotta use it on one of the other teams.

Use blizzard.

We can't rule out that the bandits are cats, either.

So... Blizzard may be best.

[. . . HAHAHA]

[freezes now, like he isn't so sure he likes his suggestion anymore. that only lasts a moment before he grumps]

Why would the Cats be bandits? Caretaker wouldn't force them into a role like that one, right?

...I don't think he necessarily would, and I didn't see a lot of members of a couple of teams.

But assumptions are bad. [Nodnod.]

Either way, we should use our talisman this round, and create the anti bandit alliance while we're temporarily invincible.

Haa. . .

[assumptions are very bad, so he doesn't rule out the possibility]

I think we should wait to try'n create an anti-bandit alliance in the next round. The talisman that protects us will be useless if we trek outside of the village, since it's only a barrier around the village, yeah? Even if we attack the bandits, we might not necessarily be welcome if we don't have proof of our goodwill.

But if we attack the bandits first, and then use that as proof of goodwill, then our attempts at negotiating an anti-bandit alliance might work out better.

I'm all for turning things on its ear, as long as we're doing something.

Then let's approach the other armies and work together to solve the bandit problem. That way, we'll have a relationship based partly on trust and we can start working together and all profiting from this area.

Congratulations, you did it.

You made breaking the game sound boring.

The name of the game is 'war and chaos.'

Of course breaking it would be boring.

Hush. I'm just going to let my brain nap.
