Ambiguously Gendered Return of 'What is the Hivemind?'

[Bront]

And also something else...Something with a brand named for Aeneas, Troilus, Paris, Priam, and Hector

Why do I feel dumb by not recognizing any of those brand names?

With Jdvn1 looking over my shoulder:

Hello, Hive'.

One brand was named for all of those people. Think about where they come from. Its a city. The city was destroyed because Priam's son Paris eloped with a pretty married girl. Hector died defending it and Aeneas ran away with some survivors.

Mel Brooks' "History of the World: Part I" makes use of that--the Roman characters are running from the authorities in costumes from a production of the Iliad, and the guard says to a passerby: "Quick! I'm looking for a pack of Trojans," garnering the response, "Oh, I just ran out last night."

The hive eats greets you

Mmmm....yummy greetings! Amy, you can tell Jdvn1 that if Anton doesn't do something soon, they're going to kill the Doggie for sure. That would be totally totally ironic if the Favoured Enemy: Magical Beast ranger managed to convince the party not to kill it though

He could try to bluff it that he's a little blue eyed girl and keep it as his animal companion...

I suppose. Does he have the right Handle Animal check though?
