[OOC] From goblins to godhood (re:monster rp)

[TheMushroomLord]

@Jangel13 What would Aya be able to find in terms of crafting materials in the vicinity of the church? Specifically looking for flexible vines or plants that easily be broken into workable fibres.

[Jangel13]

@TheMushroomLord

She would find loose stones from the church and old wood from the grace markers. As for plant fibers she would be able to see plenty of bushes with berries but actual vibes wouldn't be in the immediate vicinity

[Haeo]

Somebody needs to make batwing underpants.

... Just a suggestion. Crotch hits kill.

[Jangel13]

Bat wings won't protect you from a crotch shot

[Haeo]

But leather crotch armor would be better than a scrap cloth loincloth, right?

[Dark Cloud]

@Haeo I can see it now: Noctunderwear™

[Jangel13]

Barely better, besides it won't protect against blunt force

[Haeo]

Blunt force is a terror of men, in particular. But bleeding wounds there can be rapidly lethal and leather can resist slashing attacks to a limited degree. Of course, thicker leather made into full greaves or pants would be better, but present materials and manufacturing methods are limited.

[TheMushroomLord]

Could be wrong here but I'm pretty sure the membranes on a bat's wings are exceptionally thin, I doubt they'd provide much protection at all. Talking out of my arse here but I'd assume that making anything out of rabbit hide would almost certainly be a far better option than using bat wings.

As a side note aren't bats known as vectors for diseases? Are we sure it's such a good idea to be hanging around them? I guess goblins are just more resistant to disease than people.

[Haeo]

I suppose that the thickness issues are practical. I wonder if the wing bones would make decent needles. The leather might be good for cloaks or tunics though. Good for a water resistant layer that isn't too heavy or hot.

Dat Leather is Thicc

@TheMushroomLord

Not really but considering that you are all so weak and small that a horned rabbit the lowest of the low prey animal could kill you disease takes a back seat

@Haeo

The problem is we don't really have a way to treat it so we might need to worry about it rotting, especially if we can't remove the meaty parts without damaging the rest. Making a needle and thread might work for armour if we can layer some cloth of something, but then we'd need to find a way to make cloth. In any case, is any of this really all that useful, I can't see any of these suggested armours providing all that much defence against any of the things we've encountered thus far.

@Jangel13

My concern for the survival of the goblins grows larger still.

[Haeo]

@TheMushroomLord

It is true that treatment methods are lacking. However, at our rate of evolution, we will need replacement gear within a week... perhaps two. Rotting becomes less of an issue in those timeframes.

We just need better manufacturing methods and tools by then. Given the bent of some of us for gear, I have few worries about that.

Hello I'm back, would I be able to come back to the rp?

@Haeo

That's what I'm getting at, if we can only make next to worthless armour and we'll grow out of it really quickly, for the time being, we're better off working on the tools to make better stuff or other means of defence. I would say that we could make a shield though, while it might end up a little on the small side after evolution, it'll still be usable and unlike armour we could make a shield that has at least some defensive value.

Also, aren't there people amongst us that know the location of spiders? If we're looking for materials to craft with isn't eating spiders by far our best option provided we can safely hunt them?

[Eviledd1984]

@Jangel13

I had a long thought about it, and I decided not to delete my account.

[Jangel13]

@Eviledd1984

That's nice but I would prefer if you didn't worry us like that again

[Eviledd1984]

@Jangel13

My sincerest apologies for the scare, I hope you can forgive me.
