PandaPropaganda posted:Voting for A and also to D. tell Ishamal we're sorry, we just wanted to help. Yeah, I suppose I'll go with this. It's a little too coherent for my taste, but it could make sense. We've been yelling out to deities with little effect, we're hungry but we're also afraid, overwhelmed, and this dude is the first sign of anything stable we've encountered, other than all consuming hunger. Blubber out to him that we were just trying to help and oh poo poo please fix things! I'm not averse to accidently noticing we've been gnawing on our own arm when we try to talk though.

Welp, that's one less dude guarding our mom and five year old friend when we could have ferried them up a tree. We totally managed to do something effective there. I'm sort of surprised he even bothered to come get us, our annoying question session must have left more of a positive impression than I thought.

quote:In one story, a man gave many offerings to Asherah, but Asherah came to "bring his wrath" anyway. The man was patient and gentle, so mild he would not even eat fish as he did not want to hurt them and so instead ate seaweed. As he was out collecting seaweed, Asherah's wrath fell upon him. The man cried out to Smis for help as the sea shook and the sky turned dark. Smis left his home, a reef and wrestled with Asherah to try to save the man. Asherah ate Smis's arms which calmed his anger and he swam off. quote:There are other stories of the Great Fish trying to help people escape Asherah's wrath, they often fail. When they succeed it is either because they successfully hid them and Asherah ate something else, or Asherah took a bite out of one of the Great Fish instead. Even when people get saved from Asherah, he still eats someone, in every story. Your father does not like those stories, they were mostly shared by the women of your tribe. The bolded parts are crucial. If we want to have any chance of surviving this ordeal, we have to eat something right this instant. With regards to question 1, I vote C: attempt to eat our (non-dominant) fingers/hand/arm all whilst praying to El that it is enough to satiate the beast's hunger. A bonus that comes with this decision is that if we survive, we will have a permanent reminder as to why we should cut all of our connections to our past self and the cannibal-fish demon we used to serve. I will not stop praying to El for forgiveness and aide. Ishamel probably is an angel in disguise, and right now he doesn't seem to be having a lot of success in battling Asherah. We need to call for backup. 2E.

Changing my non-serious comedy vote after thinking a bit. So, Asherah has us. From the stories, it looks like someone is getting eaten. Right now, that can be us, Ishamal, or a Great Fish. I dont want game over, and the old man is risking his life here for a dumb kid. Lets save him too if we can. While El or the sky giants might save us, to stop Asherah's hunger we need to work within his pantheon, play by his rules. AJ, call out for mercy from Ninveh the Mother of Gentle Giants. We always loved fishing, it was always Jorah's favorite Great Fish (and Jorah was the only one who seemed to give a drat about us besides Jalitha), they're good luck, and its more proactive than telling Ishamal we're sorry and then he gets eaten. If this works, one day we promise to make whale fishing illegal in Zepath society.

  Yell something like "Please don't hit me". Considering our upbringing we'd be expecting a good beating now.

If Asherah want's to eat anything he can eat: a) His own drat tooth b) an iron (steel?) tipped spear Remember that in the stories about El, Leviathon lost and didn't get to eat anyone.

I vote plan panda. Also, it's obvious Asherah has some invisible fist (fin? tentacle?) wrapped around us which Ishamal is trying to fight off... which is badass! I hope we get to survive to be a mighty man.

Guys. Please relax and think for a moment. We have a delicious offering to Asherah clinging to us right now. It's just a shame we let go of the tooth, or we could serve him up ourselves. CF So very hungry, hungry for Ishmael. Pray to Asherah and let him know that we've caught him a tasty El worshiping heathen. He's tender and properly aged. A delicious meal, and one that we pledge to offer to Asherah again and again if it will spare our meager life and let us serve. We know where they live and will serve Asherah a mountain of flesh. Praise Asherah.

Diogines, have we ever been sprayed by a whale while we were out with Jorah, or anything else that would indicate we were blessed by any of our other fish Gods? Welp, you'll all be glad to know I'm hopping off the Asherah train and into the Minor Fishgods train. If our all powerful overgod would rather eat a scrawny child than have a delicious source of renewable lizard dragons as food, he can't be that smart an all consuming hunger. alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 04:02 on Jun 15, 2013 |

Well, according to our stories then, Asherahs noticed us, therefore someones got to get eaten. Looks like, barring intervention, that someones going to be either us or Ishamal. Also, according to Els stories he doesn't actually help people either, but sends people to help. So I'm thinking Ishamal is the response to our prayers? I'm just saying further prayers to El himself might have no effect. We've probably got a bit more flying time anyway to try different Gods. Voting; 1. tarepandas D; 'Please don't hit me!!, I was just trying to help!! (Dad flashbacks) 2. J; Pray to the Ninveh for succor and the Smis for protection Im justifying this by the fact we know that sometimes the other fishgods intervene with Asherahs hunger, whereas we I don't think we've heard stories of Els heroes intervening with his hunger, they may therefore be less qualified to help?. Although this would probably be more effective the closer we get to the ocean. Obligatory; 'Lobster dude sounds way more badass than El's heroes, do any of them save people from ever hungry overgods by letting their arms get eaten off?'  e: If it sweetens the deal, tell Ninveh that we'll get people from the city to stop whaling. alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 04:14 on Jun 15, 2013 |
