OPTION EF Close your eyes and try to concentrate, to see if you can remember any hints on which way to go. I want to hold Dana's hand while doing so. The last thing I want to do is get Danal lost in the woods alone. UPDATE UP ON THE LAST PAGEEdit: vv You are right. HiHo ChiRho fucked around with this message at 14:25 on Jun 8, 2013 |

Glad it looks like your prayers to Otac worked out, Diog! Anyways... J + V, V Climb the tree and calm Danal by telling him kid-friendly stories about a 'secret friend to heroes' named Ashera. Stress that these wonderful stories are a big secret between the two of you, which will hopefully make him feel important and special. Hey, can't hurt to start converting the kid now! And we're should be an excellent storyteller by now, which should keep him calm and entertained throughout the night...and not making crazy sobbing noise that's going to attract wild animals. Fingers crossed, anyway.

Let's do: JR Pray to Ashera, perform the divining ritual with the shark tooth. Can we even climb up the trees? Bears and cougars can climb trees better than humans, so maybe these monsters can too.

Tsyni posted:I like this, but I think we have a non-extreme chance to see if Ashera has any mustard. Let's do: Both these things occurred to me. Honestly I decided against the ritual because we really have no idea what we're doing, and if we get it wrong Danal could blame it on Ashera instead of our lack of abilities, thus making it harder to convert him later. Climbing the tree sucks if we have bears as well...but, we'd be equally hosed on the ground with them. At least a tree would protect us against wild hogs and the like. If we go for the shark tooth ritual though, I think we should include Danal. Tell him it's a very special secret ritual known only to heroes and swear him into the Ashera Secret ClubTM.

I considered that too, but I figured that Danal can't understand us or what we're saying really, so if Ashera intervenes somehow and we need an excuse back at camp we can say we accidentally cut ourselves and brush it off. Also, if it does work then maybe Danal will be interested in our cool shark tooth (or whatever it is) and we have an in that way. I guess I was just trying to work within the options to do the thing that would be most likely to grab Ashera's attention, without killing Danal.

Yeah...I guess we can figure out some way to spin it. If it doesn't work we can always tell Danal he didn't pray hard enough to Ashera.  Changing my vote to J + R. Note to my R vote: I'd like to include Danal in the palm cutting and prayer to Ashera if possible. We tell him it's an introduction into a super secret club known only to heroes, and that Ashera is a mighty friend to heroes in need that will help us if we pray to him. (Or is this different enough that it needs to be a 'V' vote?) FoxTerrier fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Jun 8, 2013 |

Voting Plan JR However, pray for guidance, or something else along those lines, since it's been established that Asherah isn't big on 'helping' his worshipers. Or I suppose, depending on how he's feeling, his 'help' might take the form of wild animals being attracted by our blood and chasing us in the direction he wants us to go, or something. alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 16:30 on Jun 8, 2013 |

JE I like testing Ashera's mustard in this situation by praying, but I don't think we're ever going to get a new convert in Danal one day if we start rambling, cutting ourselves and smearing blood all over. On top of scaring the poo poo out of a five year old kid who's already frightened, there's close to zero chance it actually works. We have no idea what actually went into the ritual. Pray to the fish god, and look within. The last time we heard directly from Ashera was when we were in danger of drowning; I think there's got to be some chance he speaks to us when we're in danger, and if it actually works we can ease non-traumatized Danal into the ways of Ashera.

  , lets be heroes!  Also yelling a lot may alert the adults, even if we make it part of the game. If nothing else, it'll keep Danal calm until we can think of something better to do.

I don't like JR at the moment, as praying to Asherah for personal help never seemed like his sort of deal, and I don't want to arouse suspicion by being found, or walking back to camp, covered in blood wielding the symbol of another God, but I might switch to it if MO gets no traction and it has a good chance.

Our dad was a primitive, abusive guy. It's not clear he had all the answers about Ashera. It's dark, and we're not slitting our wrists here, just a bit of blood to smear on the shells. I think the truth is we don't know what's what when it comes to Ashera and this is a chance to see if it's a viable path. We're already lost in the woods.

Any idea how long the vote will stay open? For now: U We are heroes! Of course, this is a lie and we know it is a lie, but we need Danal quiet and not dissolving into an immobile, terrified blob. We are looking for the club! we came out here to heroically find treasure! End however we communicate this to him by indicating quite, still, attention... Watchful heroes. Edit: in our current condition, with respect to Danal this is heroic. V Do something else. 1- use the spear to make a blaze on the closest tree to mark where we first got lost 2- stop and listen. We have been walking 'perhaps an hour', in the dark, with a five year old, in a forest. We have probably not been going in a straight line. We are not far away from where we started. We have seen footprints in the sand many times in our life. Look to see if there is enough moonlight to reveal at least our most recent tracks. The problem with tree climbing is that we abandon our weapon. The problem with blood rites is that we are most likely to attract predators rather than gods. You have to create a spot that functions as an altar for such things. Btw, is fire making among our many amazing skills? Sogol fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Jun 8, 2013 |

Voting for IU. We tell Danal that we have come to a strange place, but it's not really scary because we're still Enkidu and Labaras; we just need a little bit of El's guidance and support right now. We are still heroes and must be brave, but we're going to start "playing" our way back toward camp. Hopefully that calms him down without showing how afraid we are, too.
