I thnk maybe we should try Atlantis but yeah, that actually makes a lot of sense. Himalayas could possibly be just a red herring word. I have no idea.

I definitely think you could be onto something with this.

Lemme know if you need anything on Discord
I know googling is against the rules but if the opposing team would possibly make an exception - especially since it seems to be mostly just Charles and me and neither of understand the clue?
As one of the past mods of the game... sorry. The "no Google" rule used not to be explicit, but I had never intended it to be allowed. I made the ban explicit after a few players used it and were unaware that doing so was getting "outside help" as I understood it. It's also something the current mod has addressed before. So consider this my vote against.

oh we only have 3 left? confidence up to 99. I'd say let's do Dice>poison>green

I don't know for sureeee that the sahuagin inflict poison damage, but nothing else here really works, and that is one of D&D's damage types, and is certainly the one that best fits the sahuagin flavour-wise.

it's specifically a monster from Dungeons&Dragons, a game that largely revolves around rolling dice

i mean, unless the creatures actually originates from Atlantean lore and was borrowed by d&d designers. but I find that unlikely. plus Haschel strikes me as a ttrpg type, and I don't think he would pull out some obscure mythical creature without it being a direct reference to something he'd expect at least some of us to be familiar with.

+1

\o/. We still have a real shot at still possibly winning this.

I agree with dice-poison-green


Can you explain “green”? I’m obviously fine with it, since you clearly know exactly what you’re talking about.

So, I think dice fitst then?

pretty straightforward, the monsters have green flesh/scales. haschel has to expect us to guess something as simple as that imo, but it's the least specific of the three.

I'm good with dice first. poison and green have other far less obscure ways of being clued, like a real-life plant or animal. but if my last 3 clues as spy master were those two plus dice, irl creature->fictional creature seems like the most natural choice, so dice is like, pretty integral to the validity of the clue.
