Eikka sighs, rolls her red and yellow eyes and loads her crossbow. She lines up blows a stray hair off her face and fires.

(It definitely won't be Eikka's habbit to do so, in fact I've been thinking about an in game reason for her to agree to stop this time.
Hopefully I'll think of something or my team will.)

(Why can't we just hunker down as long as it takes to make the twenty four hours and then another eight? Are you in hurry? Not with your real time but with in game hours? This has kept for 200 years it will keep for another day or two.)

@Merlin- remember you have scrolls from the secret room that can be used)Of the group, only Eikka finds herself able to read the magical writings. They are a scroll of bless, protection from poison, and spiritual weapon. 👏
(Yeah but I'd feel a whole lot better if one was a healing spell.)

(I say after we finnish of this mimic we camp right there in the doorway. Even if it takes twenty in game hours I'm not sure how much more we can take.)

(Eikka wouldn't like it but out of character it might be best if we call back and regroup and tackle this after we can long rest again. If we don't have time for a long rest we likely don't have time for a short rest either, even if we take a day.)

What's funny is that our characters are probably about as sure as we are.

I load my crossbow and fire into the mimic. The bloodcrunning down my cheek makes my vicious smile into a macabre mask of death.

That is a tautology and pathologies do not provide understanding.

@drafterman
Still trying to determine exactly what is meant by that. On the one hand Mopac claims to mean the truth whatever it is but on the other he seems to also be making claims about what the truth is, though I can't seem to get him to settle on anything definite .

@Mopac
I thought if this conversation had illustrate anything it was that when we think in the broadest possible terms we are having such a vague discussion that we very likely aren't even talking about the same thing.

@Mopac
You are making claims about an unknowable thing. How can you know truth from falsehood if truth is unknowable and if you can't tell the difference between truth and falsehood if you cannot know the truth?
Created:

@Mopac
Even if you are correct, and I'm not arguing with that at this time, this statement is practically useless without a way of determining truth from delusion and we agree that truth is unknowable.
That said and with the understanding that we cannot know the truth how have you determined that truth is beneficial? Indeed how would you know that what was benefiting you was the truth?

I'm sorry if you find our discussion tiresome and you need only respond if you like but I enjoy these discussions. That is a big part of why I engage in them.
Perhaps we could start with just one concept instead of two. Perhaps that will be easier for you.
Let's start with salvation. Now to me the word salvation implies that someone or something need to be saved. What do you believe I need to be saved from?
Created:

@Mopac
I don't know what you mean by loving reality. Accepting reality should be sufficient if we can even tell the difference between reality and delusion, which I understand can be a real problem for the delusional.

Cure wounds on Roberts. Bask in the glow of Zud's confusion and as he is unsure what to do with his strength may some of it incedentaly make you whole!

Nope probably not. Grabbing my elbow might do it otherwise music or no music I might not notice the ghouls stopped attacking.

How have you determined that this is the case?If you love reality, it will make you a saner person. It will make you a more rational person. It will make you a more stable person. It will benefit you in every way.

(If it works you're going to have to distract Eikka because she's decided to destroy this ghoul decisively.)

Ok there is a lot to unpack here. Let's start with what do you mean by salvation and to what offenses are you referring?

What do you expect me to believe based on your testimony?
Created:

@Mopac
I don't deny the possibility but it has not been demonstrated to me that reality has a mind and until it is donstrated yo me I have no reason to believe that it does.

@Mopac
Okay then suppose you can have a relationship with reality too but whether we are talking about a rock or reality it would appear to be a pretty one sided relationship.
After all rocks do not have pet people or collect people or care about people. In fact a rock would not seem capable of any of those things and neither does reality.
Created:

@Mopac
A rock does not display enough of a mind to compare things. The act of making a comparison (whether it is a good comparison or not) is a display of more mental power than a rock would seem to possess.
I would say society does not have a mind though individuals in a society do. In any case when I ask if reality has a mind I am not asking if reality contains minds.

@Earth
Or you could just specialize in stealth/deception spells keep you charachter and be sort of a rogue wizard. The advantage beingbthe you could cast invisibility on any of us while being sneaky only hides you.

(I won't tell you what to do but the party seems like it works pretty well just like we are and I'd rather have a mage for backup than a paladin.)
