SerSpook posted:The king can sense falsehood. True enough, we probably won't get in trouble for it, from Tudiya at least, but how many others can sense falsehood, and how many will blindly accept his word on the matter? Bet there'll be a lot of muttering behind our back as to how we obviously cheated. I mean, the choices come down to "A magical being gave us fancy clothes to impress people with" or "We acquired clothes in the style of Zepath from other members of civilization." Obviously we didn't make it ourselves, and I wonder how many people believe the Melachim are now in the tailoring business. Hopefully I'm wrong. Either way though, I suppose the opinions of Joe-Street don't matter all that much.

Also the people on the street have themselves mostly undergone trivial nancy trials anyway so they can't exactly criticise us.

1. You are going... A. To Zepath. 2. Your beard... C. You leave as is. 3. As to your clothes, you.... F. Wear the skirt. 4. And your spiked club? I. I take it! Tudiya and the mighty men will know exactly who provided those items and they will know what kind of test you survived. Tall and proud you will walk into the city; A MAN. We have noone to answer to but them, and everyone knows that Tudiya left us with NOTHING. WE EARNED IT ALL.

They did lazy poo poo, and won't give a gently caress that we did lazy poo poo, and we have physical evidence in the form of our garments, our monster bits, and pearls that we did a bit more than that. Not to mention the people that really matter, the Mighty Men, likely have some understanding that hosed up poo poo like this really does happen at times.

ACFI The Boys Are Back In Town is really a perfect song for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQo1HIcSVtg edit: Why would we sacrifice our old clothes? Place on the altar, in order, the jackal skull, the jackal's third eye, and all the pearls. Send Snarls ahead to get Jalitha. Walk calm and confident to the temple, then say "We killed this monster, *place skull*, who attacked us with fire, *place eye*, in our journey to the ocean, *place pearls*." Something like that.

I'm down for this. I guess keeping the club is nicely symbolic. In giving up the knife, clothes and trinkets, we give up the experience and all we went through to El.

I'm just pointing out where Azzazel's hand was elsewhere in this trial. I don't think he did Eyescream though. I think Eyescream was just being at the sea.

Sacrifice everything to El but the club and a single pearl, which we give to our mother. If El begrudges something like that then I don't think he's the sort of guy we want to be worshiping anyway.

I am at a meeting so will look at the letters for the vote, but I say we just march in straight to the Temple and make our offering exactly as we are. Snarls should be there when we make our offering. This would be a service to Tudiya since it will inspire others to do the real deal. The rite is secret so a story is only an issue with the T-Man and as has been said he will know we did not cheat. Edit: looks like this is the A, C, F, I vote. hug Snarls! Ask him if went anywhere when he was gone.

A C F I The theory being that when we say we survived and prospered only with El's help and blessings it will revitalize faith. We shouldn't overcome pride just to succumb to it moments later. Putting on our old clothes would be boasting about how much more we suffered and survived on our trial than other people. Wearing our desert stained clothes would aggrandize ourselves and our need to demonstrate our toughness over El's need to restore the populace's belief.

Instead of trying to come up with elaborate explanations as to how we got all our stuff, I'm voting to smile knowingly and refuse to say anything. Everyone does it to us often enough, so lets do it right back at them. 1 - A 2 - C 3 - F 4 - I And also sacrifice everything except the 1 pearl, jackal eye and club, pearl goes to mum, jackal eye goes to Indor in exchange for magic lessons and club goes into the skulls of our enemies e: Maybe we can trade our story to Ishamel for a good one of his too alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 03:46 on Oct 25, 2013 |

The only thing I would keep is the club for the arrow heads. We could affirm ourselves to the Codes (Tudiya & Zepa), but I do not want us to do a Tudiya style offering. How about Beethoven Heroica Symphony? Too much?

1. A. To Zepath. - Straight to the temple. 2. D. You unbraid it and take off the copper bands on the end. - Put the rings in our bag o' stuff 3. H. Put on your somewhat torn up, dirty clothing that you actually wore for the last month. 4. I. I take it! - It goes in the pile. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING that is not us, Snarls, or what we left with, needs to be put onto the tribute table. edit: Explanation: Frankly, I think what we learned is just how useless Enkidel really was at this point. Think about it, ok, sure, we did ok with Azz-Round 1. But then what? The walk through the desert? If not for our magic walk-forever sandals, we probably would have died in the sand. The fire? We still don't know how that actually happened, other than our Fairy ElFather REALLY feels sorry for us. And we never did learn how to build a fire, because we simply kept that one going through torches. The jackal fight? Ok, that one was all us. Props where they're due. The Escape from Enkidelopolis? We got lucky, and managed to escape with our lives from something so far out of our league that I don't have a proper metaphor to convey it. The cactus-piss water? We'd have never found that without Snarls. Ok, yeah, we had a pretty sweet setup at Enkidelopolis before the horror showed up, and we probably could have Crusoe'd that poo poo for awhile if we hadn't gotten chased. Maybe we could have learned some more survival, but we didn't get to. We really don't know any more than we did when we came out here, other than the fact that Azz is a solid dude and we should absolutely party with him in the future, and some VERY rough survival, which was more luck than skill most of the time. We didn't earn the right to come back decked out in +5 Sweetass Finery, and we're still on the Test Clock until we hit that altar and do our sacrifice. We aren't a Mighty Man, not yet. We'll earn that in time. For now though, everything that we've found or made, is symbolic. It embodies our desperation, our hunger, our thirst, our weariness, our fear, our helplessness and our pure ignorance. The things that made us a child. But it also embodies our determination, our stamina, our will to live. The things that will help us grow as a man. So yeah, I think we need to sacrifice everything that we didn't leave Zepath with. And then we need to beg like hell to convince Tudiya or Ishamal or someone they suggest to take us on as their padawan to train us how to be a true badass. And we need to spend time with mom. the_steve fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Oct 25, 2013 |
