Does your character take the offer?
No, because we're playing Dark Heresy and this princess is probably a Greater Daemon of Slaanesh
OOC, yes but only because I want to roll up a different character
IC, no because on a mission from god
But I am the GM/DMPC, my guys will kill me
I stab her with my paring knife because HOLY FUCK WITCH!
Sorry, I'm an anti-natalist.
But I'm a cat! How would that even work?
I mean, sure, I like bellyrubs, like, a LOT, but wouldn't it be a kinda unsatisfying for you? Could we even have children aat all? And what about my mortality? Would I just stick around for couple of years as your husband, then die, and you'd just marry someone else? "'Til death do us part" gets weird if one person is immortal and the other isn't.
That sounds like a trap. Are you going to eat my soul or something?
Last time my character got married the bride turned out to be the daughter of Satan who was destined to give birth to the anti-Christ. When morning came and the tequila wore off things got kind of ugly.
Nice girl though. When the party got stuck in hell a few years later she helped us out and sent us on our way.
Can't trying to fix a fucked up galaxy. Can't abandon them.
Ignore evil?
Ignore my code?
Abandon my calling, my divine mission from Heironeous himself?
No thank you, I sell the ruby to a weaker mind and use the money to feed the poor.

Well, we'll just have to test just how much of an immortal she is.
I find a way to trap her back in the ruby and then sell it to the highest bidder.
I'm with this user. It's most definitely some kind of trick.
>these guys are giving up their chance to be with a princess forever
Better safe than sorry.
Eternity *sounds* cool, but, let us be honest, it's not something human minds handle well. We get bored sitting in an airport. I can't imagine how dull we would find a magical kingdom with a magical princess we've only just met. What if we have nothing in common? What if she finds that thing we do with our toenails disgusting? What if we find her personality revolting? How is the magical kingdom going to cope with having a non-magical man enter it? The Telvanni of TES deliberately segregate magical from non-magical by means of vertical hallways, that require you levitate to access adjoining rooms. I can't fly. How bad will this fuck me?
Looks like someone should have put points into Sense Motive :^)
No really, just have your paladin scan her first. You DO have a paladin in your party, right?
Oh please. They can help you get around, they're magic. Besides your neurons can store a lot of information, it'll be a long time before they have to upgrade your uh "hardware". What would happen is that you'd store old information like you already do. Condensed, blurred, and only vividly unraveled when you're reminded of it. Ever remember that you did something around high school but not so much the year of high school you did it in? It's like that. But those blurs will become blurrier and wider. Even your own mother will become a blur to you some day. Sad, but effective for keeping you sane and in the now. The danger is when you unravel a chain of memories and *vividly remember it*. Normally this is a good thing because humans don't live super long. The older the memory the more powerful this effect is. 10,000 year old you could drop dead from a nostalgia tsunami caused by the vivid memory of some silly interaction with your sibling at a very young age.
Tell her she's not mature enough and wait until she's matured and well develop until further notice
Insist on courting her correctly like a proper knight of the realm.
That doubles as an opportunity to see if you have much in common and if its a trick
"huh.... continue on with my miserable life of risking my neck for a band of misfit idiots who charge into every dungeon because 'Fighter will protect us!'. Or say screw them and live with this girl and become rich by proxy and never have a single worry again.... See you at the wedding fuckers!"
