DN. If our strength has anything at all to do with what others think of us, then a trophy wall is an investment in future power. I'd rather have that than try to raise a Roc and have Tudiya off us when it bites off someone's hand. Also voting we give Naomi the feathers to have something pretty made. The claws we can sell or sacrifice. Neraren fucked around with this message at 22:46 on May 5, 2014 |

1. D. If Danal made it past the Roc, he'll make it back. 2. N. Ishamal has been around for a long time. If he thinks it's absolutely impossible to raise the Roc, it's probably impossible. I like the idea of bringing it to Baitel, but I like the idea of keeping it as a trophy even more.

DQ D is obvious, but why Q? We get another chance to travel to a new city. We can chill out there, visit the adventurer we saved way back when's house, thank Rimush, all of that at once. We can also make a display to Taanach of what we, the likely future king, really are about. I also like the various "keep it as a trophy" options. Raising the roc is not a good idea though. I never really liked it, but if it kills someone then we are going to be killed. I am highly doubtful we can Snarls it, because if it's anything like a minotaur, it is the spawn of a demon. Not just a big animal.

I presumed you would make one knife and then sell the rest of the claws and feathers. With all the stuff going on, I did not think it merited a vote but if you want to write in what to do with them, go for it.Sir Coq of Nandos posted:Before I vote, I want to ask Ishamel about the process by which we made Snarls sentient. This is important. In response to SerSpook. Ishamal seems to think it is an animal, not a spawn of demons, for whatever that matters.

Guys, we can get a roc later. When we have become a master falconer ourselves, and are strong enough that we can restrain a fully grown roc through raw strength alone.

I want to ask Tudiya who among Zepath's Mighty have slain a roc in glorious single combat. I want to ask Ishamal why we felt stronger after killing the roc. DO NOT mention our Mighty Meter though. Just say we felt good and strong, when we had been feeling weaker.

Well actually Ishamal, it's heart, or at least it's mothers- is mine  But anyway, gently caress it- we can always try again when we learn Power Word: Tame Animal 1 - CB 2 - Q, yea we definitely still have to thank King Rimush for, you know, saving our and Danals lives. It'll give us something interesting to do- visit another city (finally!), instead of just sitting around waiting for Danal. Ask Ishamal Has something like this, or similar, ever been done by a hero? What about the trick you can use to control animals? How did Tudiyas ancestor, the guy on the monument, tame his lion? Are Rocs demon spawn or simply monstrous animals?, who created them? What was that boulder beetle thing we saw on our trip? What's the deal with Zepa's forest- what's it made out of? Do El/The Melachim watch that far south?, when we raised our altar, we didn't feel anything different, like we had in the past

Asahel seemed to disagree... Neraren posted:Diog: How much sacrificing to El goes on in our normal day to day Zepath life? You make many sacrifices with your Balls in the wilderness but monster hunting and offerings to El go hand and hand. After all, an offering is known to help keep away danger at night. Wild beasts and monsters fear El and the smell of the offerings is known to scare them away, the larger the better. You are not particularly pious so your offerings in Zepath reflect that. You are popular among the clergy and at the Temple as you are seen to bring the sword of El to the wilds. Fighting monsters and taming the wilderness for the cities of Ur is seen as an offering to El as well and a praiseworthy deed, one which you are indeed praised for. If you wanted to make less offerings in Zepath, or more, your annual income would reflect that. jazzyhattrick posted:Question for ishamal You said before when we were deciding what to do about our world breaking powers that you could make us sleep without aging until such a time as the world was ready for us.

1. D 2. Q Give enough of the roc feathers to Naomi that she can make a pretty fan or something else she'll like. We should also have some of the aquamarines set into jewelry for her, seeming as she did recently birth our son and all. I really wanna take the egg to the big temple in Baitel...but you guys are right that we are waaay overdo in giving Rimush a thank you offering and need to remedy that. Ask Ish... You said my son would not be mighty. And yet...his hands, his growth...?

Diogines posted:You make socially appropriate offerings for your social class and wealth, on holy days and other days which is factored into your annual income and expenses. I am asking more because we had our [???] actually observably move, and it was a direct result of killing the Roc. I am curious if our slowly rising meter while in Zepath could be a result of the normal sacrifices we do while in town rather than anything else. During our next sacrifice at the temple, can we try to focus on our meter while the priests do the sacrifice? Or have we already tried that somewhere?

1.  I wanted to sacrifice the Roc egg to El, but the vote to keep the egg already won, and it looks to me like the leading reason for that was to train it up as another beast-companion so I'm going to vote to support what already won. 2.

I have an even better idea. Bronze the egg then pay our artist Ball to paint it to look like the night sky. Comedy option: Drain the egg and have him paint it, making an expensive and fragile heirloom. Leave it perched precariously on top of a shelf. When our son inevitably accidentally breaks it, disown him until he brings back a new egg. 100 HOGS AGREE fucked around with this message at 23:50 on May 5, 2014 |

Gareb would probably do it free of charge too, seeing as he comes from a very wealthy family and it was said earlier that commissioning Mighty works is more a matter of it the Mighty dude wants to do it or not, and doesn't necessarily cost money.

Just clarifying my vote: 1) C 2) A The vote won to try and raise it. We knew it would be seen as strange. Ishamal is trying to talk us out of it because it's dangerous if we don't put effort in, not because it's impossible. The roc would be basically the coolest thing. Geez.

I was all ready to vote to sacrifice on the altar here, then I actually went back and re-read option Q after seeing all the support it got. Going with CQ. Also, Tsyni apparently got something really different out of Ishamal's words than I did. Ishamal pretty much told us we were a complete moron for even thinking about raising this thing.

D These are basically the perfect things to take to Baitel. The arrows would be cool and all, but I feel like getting paid in Baitel is a better thing. Besides, it's also proof of our badassery on the trip. We can use the cash from the sale in Baitel for something nice for Naomi. edit; FG as well, build the room and give a feather to Asahel.

1: F. "That boy is the biggest glory hound I have ever met, and I may have trained him too well. He can survive in the wilderness for as long as he feels like staying out there. He may not be as strong as myself or Aaron were at that age, but he's damned cunning, he'll come back in a couple of months with some absolutely ridiculous offering." 2:Q We need to get ourselves a smaller, more manageable bird. Having a pet Roc would be cool, but from what Ishamal has told us, at present it will turn this into "Paradise Lost: A not-mesopotamian Tamagochi game"
