How about that wording, huh? 😆

I want the shiny rock. [Grabby hands]

Hallow

give be the consequences rock!!! we love the consequences rock

Benjamin Wigler

I’m looking forward to the vote about whose pocket the rock goes in

Scottie

Guys name is litterally Scratch, a nick name for the devil. We would be making a deal with the devil for nothing more than being untied. We have no idea who will be chosen to carry the stone. The person who recieves the stone will never wake. Agreeing to a deal with eldritch powers to save loved ones is how Larson ended up entangled and corrupted. No deal!

I am voting to take the deal with the full understanding that it might come to bite us in the arse later. My preferred outcome would be that we manage to weaponise the stone, and use it against the Butcher later, but even if that doesn't happen we won't be worst off in terms of human life - a potential innocent vs Hattie being released. And this leaves us somewhat in control of where Scratch ends up instead of leaving him to rampage on his own in NY. Plus, it gives us a fighting chance to save Daniel and potentially Oscar, and deal with the Butcher. Granted we might fail but we have to at least try. Doing nothing, unless another last minute rescuer appears almost certainly means forfeiting Daniel, and I'm not prepared to do that. Will I regret it? Yeah almost certainly, it is a deal with an eldritch entity in a lovecraft world. Am I still going to do it? Of course I am.

Adam Frey

My vote is to do nothing

Amy

Ok, I know this looks bad. But every time deals like this are made with Eldritch Horrors, they always come back to bite you worse. EVERY TIME. We need to Do Nothing.

Horsebone

Arthur does his best work when he hates himself. We're providing enrichment!

Satyr Legs

We could give the rock to someone we don't particularly like, and who's name rhymes with Bencher, to be spicy

Hank

Voting for doing nothing with the caveat that I feel like it's undeniably the worse option; I just want to see the disaster.

Jess

We haven't had a poll question this leading since the last time we set Scratch free.

Monster Energie

If we just make deals with every entity we come across they'll have to fight each other for ownership of us

Alexis

You know what. You’re absolutely right. This is the more entertaining option.

Alexi

good weapon to have in the back pocket. despite what arthur says we dont have to do it to an INNOCENT person :3

Amy

Well, the wraith wasn’t really malicious like Scratch is. And I wouldn’t say it was a deal, more like helping someone and then they helped back.

Mads M

New rock? Take it and run! Anyways should just give the rock to Larson and Yellow and Scratch can fight it out :D

dalex

YESSS

HakureiRyuu

I wanted Arthur to have a human friend and goddammit I am going to give him one 😭

Indrid Hartley

I hope Daniel is saved. Arthur does not need more guilt...

S

I'm guessing this won't be relevant, but how dangerous is it for Arthur to carry around that stone before he finds someone to give it to? If it's inert on him because Scratch doesn't want to possess him, that leaves a lot of time and opportunity. If it's *not* inert, Arthur is in serious danger the next time he bumps his head and blacks out.
