1) Ask it what we are, on the off chance it says something besides 'a boy.' 2) Ask it if it desires anything from us. 3) Ask it if it has met travelers here before, and what happened when they approached the alter or took an artifact. Diogines posted:"A [???]". It makes a sound and it's lips move but the sound is pure gibberish. You don't know whatever that word it just used, is. It was Cthulu, wasn't it?

When the other beings come here do they touch or play with the other objects? Have the other objects always been here?

Did your maker ever tell you why he didn't finish the other half of your body? Do you think your maker is still alive? If so, do you think there will ever be a day on which he will return to you? Do you know any good jokes?

Ask the angel to tell us about the 12 pretty art things. What is each art's name? What does each art do? Will it be ok if we take an art home with us? Also, I feel like we should do whatever it is we are going to do here, and then beat it ASAP. If we fall a sleep here, who knows when we will wake up.

Despite not having answers, or not sharing answers to many of your questions, the sweet, cheerful tone of the statue's answers have not changed. It's answers seem to be short and to the point. It does not seem inquisitive in the slightest, nor, does it seem to volunteer any more information than direct answers to your questions. For the most part. the_steve posted:But do we know how to play?

I vote that we take the flute and leave but before we go, we offer up a prayer to El and the Sky Giants, saying that we don't know what Sky Giant made this flute, but we believe one did. We will honor the flute by making more Art with it, in honor of whatever Sky Giant made it and in honor of El. Then we try to play the flute as we leave, trying to somehow match the music that brought us here. eta: We obviously take Danal and Monkey with us. eta2: Also leave our necklace there. Add to the prayer that we leave this Art in its place, by a woman that we long knew as mother but no longer do.

my dad posted:Do you understand me now? [in our mother's language, as close as we know] You do not have the vocabulary to express that, the best you might be able to garble together is "Know me?" or "Know me days?" To which it responds "Yes" in your native tongue.

Voting to take the cup, leave our spear. Then pick-up Danny and go. After re-watching Indiana Jones movies, the cup seems like a good choice. Don't underestimate the simple cups power. Also, the cup appears plain enough to pass notice from the adults. We can hide the cup and still keep our nightly adventures a secret! We will have to leave our spear behind. I don't think we can carry it and Danny at the same time. edit: Actually, what do we have that we can leave behind? Spear. Loin-cloth. Anything else?

The statue is not going to answer any questions now because ATP broke it, it seems. Maybe this will cause its maker to come on down, or maybe we should just say our prayer and take something, then go. I still say the flute, if only because we can learn to play it on our trip.

The statue does indeed seem to answer no more questions, at least as things now stand, it appears to be deeply conscentrating upon the nature of beauty. Many options remain open.
