I agree with this. Basically, i think its important that we should look into your father's history as king, learn from his mistakes, and success and become a better leader he was to continue the legacy

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Talk with the god of Dreams.

B) Ignore the god of Dreams.

Go with it, talking with that god can be beneficial even if that god doesn't help us. At least then we will be able to know how that deity works, so if we ever get a chance to meet the worshipers of that god we will know how to exploit them.

May as well, get a feel for the guy

Eh, i feel we shouldnt disturb him until we really need to speak with him. Gods can be kinda holier than thou after all, and see us as insignificant.

We know nothing about this guy at all. So no idea if this is good or bad. Give us a dossier from the intelligence division so- *ahem* Do we have info? Or somebody who has info?

We have subjects. Surely more worshippers is worthwhile. Perhaps if this goes well mutual patronage could be arranged. Of course if we can't do business perhaps other gods will instead...

Morpheus the Dreamwalker, hello. How's Laura? Or Absolution?

Anyways, Mossy sent us.

We be humble Lesser demons advising these two.

Go ahead and introduce yourself, Bobbie and Abdle.

We were given your card and just wanted to see if you were interested in a deal. If not then we will simply leave you be.

And we're not just anybody. This is your chance to get in on the ground floor of a growing regional power.

'dream creator' as in, she's inspiring? Someone with a lot of influence over others? Encourages them to dream big, of a better future

Wasn't paying attention to the shape. Didn't design it just inscribed the shape. So dream creator huh? Sounds like we're building a dream for ourselves plus whoever joins our group. We're hoping unlike a dream it's no illusion but a shining beacon to all.

I didn't notice the symbol being the sheep. As for your god, if we impressed the god can we get some dream magic from him?

Imaginary

Hmm well if we're talking dreams that can be created, going with "clashing." Since dreams can conflict often one or more has to die for one to be achieved.

D) Make more of the alluring dreams.

E) Other suggestions.

Go with B) they need to fear us and that is our strongest weapon.

Is bet that the alluring dream is inspired by the archer

Im torn between A or C.
A is good to help keep the villagers on our side while C can be a bit of a more fun way to be a false prophet to others, and still give people hope. This feels like the most subtle option too

I'll lean towards C. But might switch to A

Fun as 3 is it's a standard that we will fail to achieve. Should the image shatter what will we have? 2 will be bad for allies, so it's begging for a coup. Of the last ones both would help gain allies but 4 may jilt a lot of them so 1 it is.

Thinking it through, I think I'll do C all the way. A I think will put too much of an unrealistic expectation on people, especially since we can't really fight and have to rely on manipulation. C while seems a bit too holier for my taste and culty, does at least still inspire people like A would. Plus, these are dreams, used to subtly influence towards a direction, not totally mind control into totally worshiping us

A would push us to a militant bent we could not sustain.
B has a high chance of backfiring and just netting us more enemies.
D is just archer, hopefully. Not that he seems to need encouragement.

So C seems the best use, just don't actually start a cult in the waking world.

D. In this role reversal, He sees Abdle as the one in control of actions in their relationship, not Bobbie. Keep in mind this is just his perspective, you both keep each other in control, and we help manage that. He just hasnt seem Bobbie's strengths yet.

Also, wow, never seen bobbie act this way. Calm down, its a dream.

He sees you two interchangeable, that or he sees you Bobbie as an alcoholic.

So he believes Bobbie to be trapped as a demon's pawn instead of how it is. Possibly due to her curse. Feels like there's implications. Still it's just one piece of the puzzle.

It does seem to suggest that ww views Abdle as the one in charge

It up to you to choose what question you should make Worm Works answer.

What are you truly planning? Where do we wind up once your plan is finished?

You sold us a hot castle, you shitty fence. Then you come skulking around and act cartoonishly shifty. And invite your weird friends over without so much as a by-your-leave. So why should we tolerate or trust you any longer?

What did you do with Mandy?

quite a bit to unpack.

before I start asking, I gotta interpret cause it's fun.

What I'm getting at is that Wormworks himself feels spiritual as he puts it, maybe having great potential, or just at peace with himself. However, he seems to find himself trapped or stuck in a cell. Perhaps that's why he left us, though on the other hand, he does seem content being in a cell like that. hmm... food for the other lesser demons thoughts. Also, he see's Gram as a servant of his. Interesting.

Wormworks made a deal with the Dream God too, I wonder if Mossy helped him with that too, interesting if true, but that's not my question.

I'm done rambling. Time for question.

We saw an entertaining and informative documentary show yesterday, and for Bobbie's sake, I have to ask: As the jester of Bobbie's father way back then, why did you convince the king to intervene in a conflict between two small factions when he wasn't knowledgeably equipped enough about the conflict to handle it professionally, leading to a gruesome war and ending his and others' lives?

It would be great if you would channel all this trickery into dealing with that cat, worm works.

Showed up when we did? Well *if* you're truthful there's the possibility that it's our fear brought to existence just by being here. However in the absence of evidence we have no solid conclusions. Go ahead and make your claims. We'll see if they line up with evidence we find.

You talk a lot about what we'll be forced to do as if you aren't the one forcing it. But you're the one in a cell here. If the path of the overlord just leads to death "in a vicious cycle" then why should Bobbie take it at all.

Why do you continue the cycle Worm Works? If it is really inevitable then it doesn't need your assistance. Just what has you feeling so trapped that you dream yourself behind bars, the people you know twisted to subservient forms.
How about you sit in a real cell for a bit while Bobbie and Abdle deal with the headsplitters, and think about what you really want.

Well you're off the council for sure. Giving you such sensitive access without accountability is not how we do things. We'll maintain unofficial ties but what we get is now filed under "trust but verify" because we will not be led down a path you choose. Our path is ours to choose. Seriously you sound like a genie who grants wishes in a way we never intended and would hate. For now you are no liability but if that changes we *will* sever ties. What blood you spill will not be on us. With that out of the way we are still meeting with the headsplitters. We hold too many cards, so much leverage that it'd be wasteful to miss the meeting.

B and A

I won't deny that this path will lead to bloodshed as we take this overlord path. and from a previous adventure I failed in before becoming a lesser demon, there was another that I guided, and because we were too nice, we were walked all over, and enemies took advantage of us during times when we tried to show mercy and hurt us instead.

However, on the other hand, there is a pretty big downside to causing bloodshed. It created more enemies for us to deal with until we had nobody on our side and eventually the person I guided hated me and it eventually lead to arguments within our group instead of progress, so I just left them to their own devices to start anew here, taking whatever experience I gained.

I know we'll have to do some things we won't be proud of for the greater good as we chose this overlord path. I think the main issue I have isn't the willpower, but Wormworks making big decisions for us on his own without consulting us first, or letting us know what he is doing.

For instance, what if he went off and did a plan of his own without telling us, and we did a different plan of our own while he is gone that he didn't expect us to take, and the two conflicts with each other and causes one of, or both of our plans to fail?

That's why right now, I have to say I am not sure if I can fully trust him right now.
As for the meeting, I think that is still everyone's plan right now.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Stay a little bit longer.

B) Wake up.

Unless Worm Works is willing to say what he did with Mandy, yeah, B, I believe we overstayed our welcome, but at least we all got our points across here and everyone has something to think about. Yeah, it's best if Worm Works works away from the castle for now until further notice. Time to wake before BobBerry becomes Rotten like Abdle.

Wakey wakey eggs and bakey

Perhaps you misunderstand my meaning. Pretty sure you're a loyalist which is why distancing ourselves for now is the best move. While you do what you feel is best we'll have plausible deniability so I'd welcome "unofficial" help of yours. Even if you do spill blood to do so. Just be sure the trail never leads to us. Fair warning though, we'll have to at least act like enemies if you get to be a menace. Still, should you get the stars to align in our favor we can have our resources dedicated to arresting you fairly minimal. Get what I'm saying? Once you're done we could engineer a redeeming scenario for a pardon of your crimes. Or have your identity changed. Whatever you prefer Wormworks.Why yes I can be ruthlessly pragmatic with my strategies. What gave it up? >:)

Wake up

If you let this one walk away it will be as bad as if you kept him in privy council. There is no telling what he will do to undermine our alliances or rile up our enemies, all to the nebulous goal of making Bobbie a strong overlord. He said himself that he already considers her death an inevitability, a worthy sacrifice for "changing the world". Screw this wannabe kingmaker, he should have become an overlord himself if its so great.

I would recommend we reinter him in the dungeon, only this time with his ability to speak removed. Can't have him sweet talking the guards again. This way he can still go forward with his master plan, he'll just have to actually get our approval first.

Wasn't quite as useful as hoped but still useful. Out of curiosity what is the consequences for doing more than one per evening?

Not really any more than we could have got out of him awake. And it introduces more variables when we have more than enough problems. I would be leery of returning anytime soon.

Didn't get all the info we needed from wormworks, but it was insightful nonetheless, and, well, we had no way of locating him other than this method, so overall, I'd say the experience was helpful. Thanks for that.

my question to Jestercitioneralist, Worm Works implied he too has made dealing with the dream god too. If you don't mind me asking, I'd like to know how long ago that was please.

Was not impressed with that journey, we don't really have a reason to use it ever again.

Maybe fishing for more gods can be useful but that will make the jaster hate me even more and what I said previously about the dream dive didn't help me.

Goodwill is a resource too and we've expended enough. Especially since the entity was kind or pragmatic enough to stop its associate. Demands of that type may push them to question if association with us is a net negative.

Archer seems alright. If you cultivate his infatuation he could be very loyal, but it would probably be easier to let him down gently now. You still haven't bothered to learn his name so I don't see a real relationship forming anytime soon.

At least he isn't sneaking around like everyone else here.

Strategic senses detect an emotional minefield. Steering well clear of this one.

I trust him, he's devoted. Though I think he needs to prove himself if he wants Bobbie's admiration. I'll root for him though, but I won't suggest Bobbie to fall in love with him, that's up to her to decide.

He can be a useful pawn, maybe he can be more useful if he thiks that you love him.

Go to the meeting and I wish Vance the best of luck in impressing Bobbie and winning her heart.

Got no problem going to the meeting itself. However it does have to be asked. How do we do that with the cat having eyes everywhere? She could ambush us once we leave. Do we get the headsplitters to head to the castle instead? Does bug me that Dredge will know what's going on but no way around that one.
