I think trading went out the window as soon as they heard from Jalitha that they had stumbled into a literal village of monsters from over the hill, as according to their religions stories. They might not attack us, but they'll definitely be considering a stabbing related way out of this mess they've found themselves in. alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 01:15 on May 28, 2013 |

All at once, the empty handed man yells something and reaches out to grab you, Jalitha screams "OG! They are going to save us, come!" and your father draws his giant shark tooth necklace and cuts his hand, the wind begins to blow... You step between the two groups. Which are not out of grabbing reach. As the empty handed man just handed your father a jug of something and moments ago and just before that, your father slapped his hand away when he offered to shake it. Indeed, the man took one step and tried to grab for you, because you are not out of grabbing reach, quite the opposite, in fact! You yell out in your native tongue "Wait! Calm do-" as the empty handed man grabs you, as he is very much within grabbing distance and pulls you behind him. Jalitha hugs you "Og! El has answered our prayers... don't look!" All of the strangers are yelling and you can't understand them, though several of them have just shouted the word "KING!" the rest is lost in the clammer and the name "El" is said a number of times. It is noon, but as quickly as you could blink, the sky has turned black and it is now dark. Bolts of lightning are crashing into the trees around you. Your fathers eyes are glowing bright red. Your father raises his hands and and shoots lightning out of them at the empty handed man and at two of the men next to him. The two men beside the empty handed man go down and the rest of the outsiders scream, the empty handed man cries out in pain but does not fall down. Some of the other outsides stab their spears at Mopo and Kikar who go down bloody and screaming, their screaming ceases after another quick stab and a jerk from their spears. Selk and your uncle Pagam run for their lives. One of the men stabs your father in the chest, no blood spurts out and it does not seem to slow him down, nor do the next two spears to pierce his chest have any obvious effect. Your father launches two more bolts of lightning into the chest of the empty handed man whose strange shiny clothing has been burned through to his chest, the man cries out in pain and draws a very large and shiny knife from his side, one you would not recognize as such but is in fact, a sword. With one quick motion he lops off your father's head. The clouds instantly part and it is once again noon. Jalitha screams something. The earth shakes once. Then again. The sword wielding man turns to the others and says something to the other outsides, they lift the two fallen outsiders who groan slightly and place them on the backs of the furry monsters. The woman who was beside the furry monsters runs forward and grabs the basket of pearls Jalitha dropped and scoops up those which have fallen out as the fighting occurred. Jalitha who is now crying looks to you and says "My son! I am so sorry! We need to go now before the demon takes it's vengeance! We have been saved by the king of Zepath but we have to go now!" OPTION A: Go with Jalitha and the outsiders as they flee OPTION B: Run for the village! OPTION C: Run deeper into the forest! OPTION D: Run to the beach! OPTION E: Grab your fathers giant shark took and avenge him! Stab the man who killed him! OPTION F: Cry! This option can be included with any other! OPTION G: Something else! (Specify) OPTION H: Grab your father's giant shark tooth and THEN go with Jalitha and the outsiders as they flee! Diogines fucked around with this message at 01:50 on May 28, 2013 |

- we should probably grab that shark tooth. Maybe wrap it up in something. But yeah, fleeing seems like a good idea right now.

Seems like the best option based on the poo poo that happened. I envision us basically refusing to cut our hair or surrender the tooth, in honor of our father, even while we refuse to necessarily travel down the same path he did (unless it yields the most power). These times, respect for the father is important and I think we can get away with this. Maybe even get some respect from it. edit: changing vote.

A This is very traumatic. Our father revealed terrible magic, wounds that did not bleed, and was gruesomely beheaded. Jalitha has been the greatest source of love and comfort in our short life, and she says we are being rescued. Our father was very harsh, but we thought that was simply his way. It seems that there are many things -wrong- about our village, secrets and mysteries around the eating of flesh, our parentage, and the power of the Great Fish. Our father was powerful, but he was not saved. Perhaps the Sky Giants are stronger? In our state of shock I think we should cling to Jalitha.

Take a swing at this Demon-King hand with the tooth to get him to back the gently caress off, if he reaches for us. Hopefully cut him so he knows hes marked for vengeance, then; Run back to the beach with the tooth Asherah will provide us another teacher, then we will avenge our father!, vote VENGEANCE!! (Come on guys, why are we turning down the opportunity to eventually have Asherah fueled demon powers?) e: changed to running to the beach, and added swinging at the king if he tries to grab us alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 02:53 on May 28, 2013 |

Welp, Shushem is dead. We know the stories of our people, but can't perform any rituals beyond grinding some powders. Our people may commit ritual cannibalism, or may not. The other villages will send another priest, probably. Priests of Asherah have real power. Jalitha is almost certainly our actual mother. You know what, I think we should go with her. A Our father was an abusive rear end in a top hat who terrorized the whole village, and people have been lying to us our entire lives. I say we go with the only family we have left.

Um guys, may I suggest that there is a possibility that the the tooth might be trapped/cursed/act as a GPS tracking device for a very pissed of Asherah? Option H seems way too much 'superior' to option A. I vote , Trying to attack dudes with actual frickin' metal swords without any actual priest powers is suicidal, it didn't help Shushem who had genuinely impressive gently caress-you-with-lightning spells. And there's nothing left for us here, we would be even more of an outcast then before, and it seems Jalitha really is our mother.

E. We just decided to start being more serious about this Asherah thing, and we just saw a man strike down a priest of Asherah. Vengeance is the only reasonable course of action.

Reminds me a lot of the opening to Conan the Barbarian including having a parent beheaded in front of him. Clearly the path to the most awesome story is to swear vengeance here and now. E Also you people voting to leave have no sense of community, even if it is a cannibalistic force-lightning community.
