Mini-vote: Clothes edition:  It's ok if they offer us clothes, but let's just keep to what we know for the moment. Besides, who doesn't like a cool breeze on bare skin?

I don't care much about the clothes so long as we keep our tooth and shell necklace. I mean we can't go nude forever no matter how funny that would be but it's not a huge deal.

OPTION A Are glad to have someone who is not an adult pay attention to you for the first time in your life, even if he is younger and you tower over him. You are friendly and do as he asks, when you understand. Question Two. As you walk for the rest of the day, you speak with... PICK TWO. A. The king, Tudiya. G. Ishamal, who seems to be the oldest of the outsider men, who is balding and has gray hair.

 Vote count updated.The vote is pretty clear at this point, I'd say. Unless 30 people suddenly decide that a loincloth is an affront to human decency, that is.

let's bring the latest fashion from the cultural supernova that is Athar everyone will be clothing their loins within the week! Gotta be completely unanimous on our clothing style so we never change our outfit again. If we end up going the route of revenge Og we have a song basically completely tailored to the plan, it's important to have a theme song.

Question 1: Question 2:  Question 3: ... does it really matter what I say, now? A final note: I want to clearly throw my support behind continuing to believe in Asherah. It's not a matter of worship, or faith. Asherah is a force of nature.

Lets talk with The King and Mr. 20-something Keep the loincloth, we ain't no big-town librul here  Genpei Turtle posted: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. I actually wrote a defense of Satan in Paradise Lost for a test in 11th grade AP English. I got an A but my teacher held up my paper in front of class (without naming names) and said that, "No, you can't defend Satan. He is Satan, what is wrong with you people? Its like the definition of badguy." Never liked that teacher. Later that year we debated Inherit the Wind in the middle of class.

1. : let's not smite the hand of friendship like a wee poo poo. Going into big brother mode I think would backfire if he's no reason to see us as such. Besides, it shows us as a noble savage! For 2, I have a question: are we chatting to our new little buddy as we walk, pick flowers, give bad-rear end horsey rides, etc? If so, then I'm cool with not chatting to him. If not, then he needs to be one of the people we spend most time with. While it would be good to talk to the old dude, and the young one, or Jalitha/Mom, I suspect we will have ample chance later. We won't have a chance to talk to the king again, though. This boils down to: +  + depending on whether (the first) or not (the second) we can talk to our new friend while playing. 3. : until someone get offended, or we stop or something, we're cool. After all, we're a savage, so everyone expects us to be uncouth!

3.Yes, but since we're a dumb savage kid let's ask for a dress like our mother, the outsiders will have a laugh and say 'oh sweetie no... here's a pair of pants and a shirt, it's what men wear.' That way everybody stays in good humor and we don't look rude.

You do not ask for any new clothing. You decide to be nice to the boy, Danal. You play simple games with him as the group walks north. You listen as he talks, seemingly without the need for air or pause, for a prolonged period of time. He seems to be collecting flowers and strange leaves, which he periodically plucks as your group walks, he then races to hand each to the servant woman Keza, who says something which might be praise and tucks his prize into a bag carried by one of the pack animals. He motions for you to pluck a leaf or a flower he can't reach, which you do and which seems to make him rather happy. He is constantly pointing out something he sees in the forest which he either finds highly fascinating or very funny, though you can't understand most of what he is saying. When he asks, you give him piggy back rides and he continues to talk endlessly and to frequently say your name. He appears to thrive upon your attention and this is the first time in your entire life that anyone who was not an adult has been nice to you. You may not have discovered the magic of fish-laser but you may slowly be learning the magic of friendship. While giving him a piggy back ride, you move towards the front of the line and talk to Tudiya, the King. He chuckles when he sees Danal on your shoulders, who says something incomprehensible but he mentions a monster from one of your mothers stories and makes a gesture which might be as if he was slaying an invisible monster with an invisible sword, also causing the king to chuckle briefly. Your mother interprets as you ask Tudiya questions, which he seems happy enough to answer, for now at least. Fire away your questions.

Why are your loinclothes so big? It looks hot. And why is it all hard and shiny like weird polished shells? Why do your spear tips and big knife flash like the sparkling water in the sun. Is it magic? Why did you offer our village poison to drink? Is Zepath near the sea? I like the sea.

Ask him if he has heard of Asherah. Probably don't want to explain or preach the name right now but we should see if Asherah has been heard of before.

Ask the king what was that way of speaking, where we could feel his heavy voice in the air and understood his words as if it they were in our own language. And tell mom to translate the question, because it happened multiple times! It so happened, Mom!

Question for king: What will happen to us when we get to the city? Where will we be staying, what will we be doing? Can we stay with the king and learn under him? (you don't get a chance to attach yourself to a king very often, take the chance when you have it!)

Ask the king: When you were cutting our hair, your voice got strange and we could understand you clearly even though you were not speaking our language. Was that something you did? If not, do you know what may have caused it?

I skipped duplicate questions which were already answered. Your mother translates for you, but as the king talks, you have a nagging suspicion that he can understand you, more so when he holds a hand up to her and says something and your mother stops translating your words to him and she only translates his words to you. Rahul posted:What are those strange hairy monsters following us? Are they dangerous? BoyG posted:Can you tell us about Zepath? Coq au Nandos posted:Why are you so tall, King Stepdad? Did your father beat you, too? "He says, Sweetling that he is the blood of Laboras and is of tall stature, as all of his descendants are."

"Sweetling, the King says not to worry and that we will be provided for, but he needs to speak to his counselors before he decides. Um. Counselors mean his learned friends who give him good advice." Tudiya chuckles briefly at the explanation. The Bad Llama posted:Ask him if he has heard of Asherah. Mexican Deathgasm posted:Jalitha said that Ashera is not a god. What is Ashera? Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:Ask the king what was that way of speaking, where we could feel his heavy voice in the air and understood his words as if it they were in our own language. And tell mom to translate the question, because it happened multiple times! It so happened, Mom! Overall, Tudiya seems amused by your questions, but he is smiling and seems happy to answer them. His tone is more friendly than patronizing, though there is such an element I'm his tone.

Do you have to be a king to have great powers? Where do the powers come from? What do the angels look like if they are not giants, what does El look like? How old are you King Dad? Is there more monsters in the city like the donkeys, have you seen or fought bigger monsters? Can I get extra fingers? Can you tell me a quick happy story of Ekindu?
