Is everyone all right?

I think it's safe to say that this changes things considerably.

Damn, you're right. If only we had someone mostly immortal to go do recon for us.

[rebells]

I'm not stopping you.

[I'm just sending a dragon after you.]

But if the conditions on your immortality are the same as Dave's, there's a lot of things they won't protect you from.

[There's a weird, unpleasant telepathic twinge that just kind of flashes fast before Dirk gets it clamped down properly. No more of that shit thank you.]

The only way I'm going down Just or Heroic is if an Uvi gets the drop on me with a puppet in the shape of a horse dick. I'll be careful of any plush-armed fish people.

[What?]

What?

[splinten]

I am not at risk of a permanent death.

[rebells]

That's not what I--oh, never mind.

You seriously can't think of any ways you could die heroically on this trip?

[splinten]

The rules on it are pretty interesting in their lack of clarity. For example, a heroic act can be considered one that prioritizes another's life over one's own. But is it heroic to assume you won't die by, for example, eating a mysterious berry to test it for poison because you're the only immortal in the group? Is it heroic because you're putting yourself on the line, or is it completely unheroic because you're assuming that there won't be any real cost for yourself?

It's basically impossible to know until you try it.

So you don't know how it works, but you somehow know you're not at risk for a permanent death.
