[Fortuna]: Luck depends on no one....right? (4/3)

> Clay: Tell everyone else that they should get back to the hotel or hiding like Sbat suggested ASAP, but you need Valentine.
> Clay: Besides, Belladona seems to like you - so it's probably safest for you to be out in the open. (In case E-457 comes back, for example.)

seconded!
also, ask e-47 if they have any way to contact o-5

The infectious shadow is in storage currently. It would be a good idea to have something that looks just like clay right now, though.

I really think this should go out to Helios as well (if to either of them at all)
While i frickn lOVE Kratos and his everything, and think he'd be a bomb friend with literally everyone ever, he would be highly optimistic about this, and failure right now is not a very nice option. Helios would be more realistic about this situation, and his opinions are usually pretty solid (om the other hand, it might be an even better idea to just not ask either of them. Helios has mentioned before how he likes his students learning on their own. While i adore our patrons, I'm thinkin we should try and wing this, see what happens, and rely on them less.)

I think we should be cautious around Belladonna. Our highest agility character we have right now is Sbat, and it's only a 5. I understand that Belladonna is fairly slow on land, but they did snatch up that notail fairly quick, which worries me. On the upside, both Sbat and Clay have a rock solid endurance, so if it does come down to it they can likely take a few hits
(seconding the part about seeing if E-47 has a way of contacting o-5 though :))

seconding!! Could we get drugs that might make Belladonna pass out or something (ask Pan if he comes back, he'd probably have something) and possibly incorporate them into the trap? Ultimately, it's notails so they probably know what they're doing as far as traps go

(still conflicted about my own opinions, but hey I'm committed now ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ultimate goal is not dying)

The reason I'm asking Kratos is cause he's faillable. Helios can probably straight up check if Belladonna is redeemable, (and understandably wouldn't want to do that) but Kratos would have to eyeball it. Plus, Belladona kinda did break the law a few moments back by straight up killing a person, and notail law would likely have them put to death, so I'm curious if that changes Kratos' mindset.

Clay: We need to find E-457, they're slow outside of water so now is the best time to head out. Bella is part of his crew and he has to do what he can for them.
Clay: Charisma check: You notails should get to safety, but do you have anything to communicate with in a [Muted] environment?

>Clay: [Charisma] Let Bella know how glad you are that she's okay, and you're eager to see her get back to work.

>Clay: [Charisma Check] (Using the Cosmosdex Pro)"No need to follow me to the end of the universe Bella, we're going there together. Now let's get back to the ship and then sail off on our love boat to Fortuna. <3"

> Clay: Reunite with your loving wife and daughter fellow crew member Belladonna.

Clay: [Charisma check] Try to calm down, and using the cosmodex pro apologize for sending bella off and give them a show of affection(possibly a hug). You will do what you can for Bella. Invite them back into the crew.

Clay: Charisma check, attempt to have Bella rejoin the crew. If she does, order her to not kill anyone else.
(Also check her stats if she rejoins)

Ah, thank you for explaining! I agree, it would be interesting to see his opinion of this, so I'm seconding this!

>Clay: [Charisma] Let Bella know how glad you are that she's okay, and you're eager to see her get back to work.

If we do this suggestion, we should change the wording a bit so Belladonna will be more inclined to y'know, not murder Clay. Let them know we want/need them not just for work, but them as a person

>Clay: [Charisma Check] (Using the Cosmosdex Pro)"No need to follow me to the end of the universe Bella, we're going there together. Now let's get back to the ship and then sail off on our love boat to Fortuna. <3"

See what Kratos says first, but if he's cool with it, hELL YEAH

Clay: Charisma check, attempt to have Bella rejoin the crew. If she does, order her to not kill anyone else.
(Also check her stats if she rejoins)

Seconding this!

For the Charisma check, I'd suggest Clay use the Cosmosdex Pro something about how he'd still like to have Belladona rejoin the crew if they would still want to.

> Clay: Check out the scream after you're done talking to Belladona. (So that Pan's help is actually helpful! O-5 can probably analyse Belladona's anomaly status if nothing else.)

> Clay: Check out the scream after you're done talking to Belladona. (So that Pan's help is actually helpful! O-5 can probably analyse Belladona's anomaly status if nothing else.)

Orrr O-5 will leg belladonna to death when he sees them.

>Clay: [Charisma Check] (Using the Cosmosdex Pro)"No need to follow me to the end of the universe Bella, we're going there together. Now let's get back to the ship and then sail off on our love boat to Fortuna. <3"

> Whoa whoa. Let's not commit to anything just yet. If you're going to be smuggling a dangerous anomaly off a notail planet, you'll at least need a plan.

Furthermore our crew is going to freak out if the captain goes missing in the woods. I'm sure Kratos' BELIEF powers will still affect them as long as the captain's alive, but still.

> Ask Bella if they have any idea where Glirny is. If not, getting Valentine should be a priority.

Clay should use the Cosmosdex pro to get Bella to explain what has happened to her, as well as where Glirny is. Knowing how much of her papers she has in her file so to speak is a good way to know if she could actually be reasoned with.

Seconding

Culture godding all that stuff seems like it might be the slightest bit excessive.

We also don't even know if Belladonna will agree to get back to our crew yet. We should maybe focus on ensuring they don't just decide lock Clay in a dingy cave and live happily ever after first.

> Ask Bella how they were able to catch up to the notails back there. It'd help to know what they're capable of, especially if we're going after R-18.

> Do NOT culture god Valentine.

snip snop

Oh true, true. Thought I'd cover our bases and not waste this opportunity where it presents itself. Should probably just limit it to e47, princess, and o5's masks + valentine + legg
Either way it'll be fun to see how it turns out
