Paradise Lost: Clash of the Heavens!

Your possessions consist of one loincloth and one giant tooth on a string which you are wearing, the necklace of prettily cut shells your not-mother once gave you on your birthday and a string used to tie your hair. That is it.

You only have one place you could conceivably hide the giant tooth and you would probably bleed out in less than five minutes if you tried to hide it there.

No one seems to care, so far, that you have it.

As someone else asked, you have no shells, besides the ones in your necklace.

Might be ok to stay 'primitive' given our new name until we are forced in another direction. We might like a bag to sling over our shoulder (for carrying the tooth)... We can ask our new friend if he can get us something like that to help with the gathering of things he is always doing.

They aren't carrying anything in our size. The men are huge, and the kid is much smaller than us. Besides, we'd probably find wearing civilized clothes itchy and uncomfortable.

Also, I'd just like to note that I voted for Asherah AND El worship way back when, and I'm still okay with that. Our old village was full of cannibals and worshipped a cannibalistic Leviathan-thing, but we're currently on the way to worshipping Old Testament Yahweh. He may well be the One True God, but after we see how he deals with disbelief, it'll be just like home.

We have a choice between a FishGod that will drown your village if you disobey him, and a OneGod that will drown the world if you disobey him.

Thank you, this needed to be said. Not saying we should rock the boat without good cause, but everyone should keep in mind that monotheistic religions in ancient times were not exactly bastions of flexibility, tolerance, or cross-cultural acceptance. It's very likely that these guys have their own ways of being tremendous assholes. We should not expect everything to be hunky-dory from now on.

MINIVOTE: Do you ask for clothes like the other male outsiders and the boy are wearing? You are wearing a loincloth, they are all wearing much more clothing than you have ever seen anyone wear before. Your mother is wearing what may be described as a slip or a dress, essentially a piece of cloth with a hole for arms and legs and a belt tied at the hip, the same thing the other woman and the child are wearing, and the men seem to be wearing something similar, with armor ontop of it.

You are wearing a loincloth and nothing else. Which is what all of your people wore. Even the women. Who went topless. Your mother looks rather odd in her new clothing.

QUESTION 3. Do you ask for new clothing, like the others?

I. YES!
II. NO!

No clothes.

A bag that can be slung. Probably leather please, but hey... Anything that we can work out to carry the tooth and such. As I recall it is as large as the hand of a grown villager? To big for wearing at the moment?

Man... Did we really clearly consider the whole topless women thing clearly enough in previous decisions?

Yeah, I think we're gonna have to make a choice eventually. El and the giants angels are, as mentioned quite biblical.
I'd be quite surprised if Asherah doesn't turn out to be some form of demon based on what we currently know.
It kinda goes without saying that the two don't mix very well.

2. A and G - Simply because they're the two that can apparently understand us, and would know the most about stuff, respectively.

3. Freeball it, yo

Our hair may be gone, but the great hunger will remain in our heart.

Also, for everyone that wants to throw Asherah under the bus and kneel down for a big load of El, remember that we as a child decided we believe in both gods. 5 years of belief, reinforced by physical 'evidence' (seeing whales/Dad powers etc) isn't going to just vanish after a day of scare stories and a wise king who knows our language. They'll have to beat it out of us! :v:

Yea it's getting pretty obvious that Asherahs a demon now, but hey, I just think its a more interesting story than 'Heathen savage saved by the king, who smites demons in the name of (insert good god here)' v:shobon:v

I agree, but heck, it may well be that the demons are the good guys anyway considering the sources of inspiration from this CYOA. Practically everyone who reads Paradise Lost ends up rooting for Satan. He's one of the classic antiheroes of literature.

3. NO If they get uncomfortable and want us to change; so be it; but I like the loincloth. So comfortable. It's not like it's ever so cold that we need to cover up. How do they swim in those baggy things?
