Glad to see being a badass is acceptable. I had a feeling that we would lose based on Dio's descriptions leading up to the event but I knew it was the right thing to to, and we have another cool concussion dream! SerSpook posted:

Updated reference document. Now with Great Fish! https://www.dropbox.com/s/efey9bd94tn8lw5/Reference%20for%20UR.pdf We really need to talk with Mom. How did she get to Athar? Alone!?! It took us 3 months to walk from Athar to Zepath and Zepath is the most remote city. How did she get to Athar, alone and pregnant? Time's up. No more stalling Mom. Weird stuff is happening to us and we need to know if you want us to be safe. Sogol fucked around with this message at 05:20 on Sep 19, 2013 |

1. B - Tell Danal: "Looks like we're off to a good start at being heroes.", also we should feel a sense of pride at doing good. 2. B 3. A - Ishamal's friends are cool, but they'd likely distract us one way or the other while we try to make sense of these dreams.

We are mad! We were in a fight and got our rear end kicked and don't even have any scars to show for it. We've been cheated. edit: No, we don't need anyone thinking we're any more nuts than they do already. They can find out later when we turn into a fishtrocity and eat half the city.

1. B SON OF A -- Your dad's free? Awesome! Did you snag one of the minotaur's banners? 2. A Let him know and understand a bit more of what our life is like. 3. A Ishamal's friends didn't beat Asherah out of us. I'm sure they're great guys, but this is a private conversation.

B, as per SerSpook. B A I'm not sure we should ask mom anything just yet, either. She's been trying to forget our village since we left, so I doubt she'll be very forthcoming. Let's wait until we're at least a man, so we can legitimately tell her we're grown-up enough to know the truth.

1. B. "By El, we are getting a good start at being heroes! Give Paebel my congratulations." 2. B. I know the general consensus is that the two of us are best bros, but I still feel that this is something we need to do by ourselves, alone, and protect Danal by leaving him out of it. Besides, Danal is not yet of legal drinking age! 3. B. His friends probably pulled our sorry unconscious rear end away after the fight. I've got no compunction against pulling up a chair and saying "I had the weirdest El-damned dream while I was out, and if you buy me some beer, I'll tell you about it!" Maybe he's planning to go off adventuring soon and we can join the gang as an apprentice. I also think we should ask if there's any leftover minotaur burgers. No harm in asking mom about how she ended up in the fishing village, I guess, but I still think she's just going to become silent and uncooperative in this manner. Maybe we should ask Ishamal; perhaps the expedition was a rescue mission for a long-lost Zepathian.

1: B : We were getting the horns for Danal, and he seems happy with the outcome, so that's fine! 2: B : Would prefer to go alone, but Danal can come if he really insists. 3: B : We're fairly familiar with them by now. Basically, we're chill!

So... we took on a bigger enemy and his group to help out some little kids get the horn, and then Danal let them sell it to free a slave rather than keeping the trophy for himself!?Diogines posted:1. (Optional) As Danal tells you that the horns are not yours or Danals you think.... Think? Think nothing. We leap out of bed, snatch up Danal in a bear hug, and spin him around while laughing and yelling "Enkidu and Labaras!" quote:You decide that you want to have a chat with Ishamal. Voting 1B, 2A, and 3A. If we plan on adventuring with Danal, he's going to need to hear the truth sooner or later. On the other hand, I don't want any weird rumors getting spread by Ishamal's drinking buddies. We're already a cannibal wildboy; I don't think we also need to be a crazy demon-worshiper or something.

Lanky Coconut Tree posted:Danal selling the horns is something really unexpected and generous, we should find out if it was his idea or what. Encourage this kind of thing in the future. We can just ask I guess. Ask Danal (smiling, so he knows we like it): Was it your idea to give the horns to Paebel, so he can free his father? Votes: 1: B 2: B Nothing against Danal, but we don't know what the answers might be (there will be talk about Asherah probably). We can always choose to tell him about it after we have the answers. 3: A Question to ourselves: Did we always have this good sight/hearing, or only since we moved to the city (maybe as a result of something on our travel here). For example as a child when we saw the men go out to see for fishing, did we see small (dice sized) details when they were a mile away? We probably climbed up to some better vantage point a few times during all those years, so line of sight wouldn't be a problem. Did we usually hear what people were talking about from far away? Question to Ishamal: Can Ophanim/Melachim father children with a human mother? Does this happen? Are there stories about such things? If yes, then what do the stories say about such children? Are they special/different similar to Labaras' descendants or are they "normal" human? Also voting yes to tell Ishamal about all of the dream scenes and voices.

1. B. The fact that Danal was willing to give the horns up shows that maybe we've helped him through his bratty stage. We should be proud of him and ourselves. No opinion on the other two.

I try to gauge what you want to share and what you don't but it not always obvious. I am going to dive in to the questions soon and do all the ones through now, give me an hour or two. The general vibe I am getting is you want to share details of your supernatural experiences with Ishamal, where they are relevant to your questions. If this is not the case, speak up. Also, if there is any particular aspect or detail you want to keep back from Ishamal, speak up.

1: B; Well I'm glad something good came out of my severe beating, who healed me though? 2: B; I think Danal can learn more about this from us later when he is a little bit older, for now we need to figure this out alone. 3: Both? If not, then alone. I would want to ask them all a few casual questions like "Where's the beef?" and other questions not related to our dreams, but I'd like to ask Ishamal about our dream alone.

ShadowGlass posted:We can just ask I guess. "Where are we going?" Danal asks you. "To see Ishamal" you say as you rise "I have some questions for him." Snarls Barkley in tow, you find the tavern in which Ishamal is drinking this morning. It is not yet noon, but that does not seem to have troubled Ishamal and his friends today, or any other day, come to think of it. You hear pipe music playing before you enter and see Ishamal and his drinking companions, laughing as Ishamal finishes a joke, something about a maiden with two heads? You only caught the last bit of it. "Ah! The hero of the battle!" one of Ishamals friends says in a laughing tone and gestures you over as he sees you, the man, who you know to be Edet, a little over 7 feet tall, a bushy red beard and perhaps in his 50s? Knowing the age of people in Zepath is always a bit tricky, most are as they seem, but some, especially taller men... sometimes are not. He is not as tall as the mighty men though. Come to think of it, all of Ishamals friends are probably pushing 40 or so and all are a bit over 7 feet tall, though all are shorter than Tudiya's Mighty Men. Edet pushes a glass of wine into your hand, the other men raise their glasses and let out a small laugh and a small cheer as they see you. You tell Ishamal you wanted to talk with him.... alone. "Do you know longer love us?" Edet says with a laugh, the other men also laugh, but Ishamal tells them "Give the boy a little time, we'll get back to the story soon enough-" the other men nod and depart. Danal sits in a chair across the table from Ishamal, Snarls Barkley climbs up onto the chair beside him and sits in it as well, you sit next to him. "Well, whats on your mind, boy?" Ishamal asks. You ask him several questions... FoxTerrier posted:Almost forgot to add that we should thank Ishamal for coming to help save our rear end and send Lullaya running. Sogol posted:Also, ask Ishamal about the Stars sigil and what that means. SerSpook posted:I'd also like ask Ishamal if he has any left over beef from the minotaurs.

SerSpook posted:Ask Ishamal if he knows the name Mereniel. Ishamal takes another gulp of wine from his cup and places it down. He makes a small gesture towards the room with his right hand, almost as if he was gesturing them to leave. The conversations, laughter and noise of the tavern is suddenly muted. You can still hear it, if you listen, but only barely. The noise from those passing by in the street, is gone. If you listen closely, you might hear Danal or Snarls Barkley, but the sounds of their breath is suddenly almost undetectable. At this moment, Snarls Barkley jumps down from his chair and starts playing with Danal, who does not seem to have detected anything out of the ordinary has occurred. The world is suddenly a very quiet place and the only thing which sounds normal, is Ishamal. Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:3. How Tudiya would be able to know details of our village no one knew about (Sushem's name) LLSix posted:Ask Why did you and your friends fight separately from the rest of the men? LLSix posted:Ask/request Can you teach us how to fight? Without getting knocked unconscious? This seems especially natural after losing one. WhiteOutMouse posted:"How come I don't hurt? Did someone use magic on me to heal me? Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:5. Are there any religious stories of the end of the world or coming disasters? Religions tend to have those kind of stories. SerSpook posted:I want to explain to Ishamal what we saw as we went unconscious, as well as what we saw two years prior. Include the white voice on black text as well. "What am I to say to this? You are young. Very, very young. You wish answers to your questions, but I think it wisest to not tell you, I hope you will trust me on such. I will tell you more, when I think you ready. If you have an odd dream or think you have a vision, or bash your head again, which you seem especially fond of doing, tell me. Me and only me, do not tell the Temple of El or of the Melachim, do not speak of this to Danal, to your own mother or even to Tudiya or to any other person, or even your dog in your private moments." He takes another drink from his cup. "And do not try to mimic Shushem's rituals again" he says, raising a topic from 3 years past which he never mentioned to you again. "It is unwise." He takes an empty cup from the table, spits into it once, then pours the pitcher of wine into it and makes an odd gesture with his right hand over the top of the cup, the wine inside seems to glow slightly for a moment and then, looks normal. "Drink this" he says "and before you ask "what is it?" or "why?" I say again, just drink the wine boy and trust me." 1. You... A. Drink the cup of wine. B. Do not drink the cup wine. C. Politely ask him what he just did D. Demand to know what he just did. E. Something else. 2. Well... that but he just said... was um... yeah. Your response, if any? We skipped over duplicate questions. If I missed yours, or you do not feel that it was really a duplicate of a question already answered, please ask it again. If you don't like his answer, you could always ask again, though he may not be any more willing to answer then, perhaps he would be. Or not!

Drink up, then thank him for listening to us and helping share our burdens. Ishamal has repeatedly saved our rear end and is probably really sticking his neck out again here if he doesn't even want Tudiya to know about things. Showing our appreciation now seems appropriate.

Question to ourselves!(the thread) Should we tell him about the structure in the woods? About our two artifacts? Our sandals are literally on a banner of the city, and we want to play this drat flute. Maybe the star sigil is the mark of the skygiant who made these artifacts, and thus he would know much more about heir nature.
