A bunch of people left the game after we ran off with Tudiya? Really? Slaan, PM them. Inform them that their votes are needed for Plan Fishdad. The reckoning is nigh.

1. D 2. J I don't think Danal is intentionally leaving out that the guy he hucked a spear at is Shushem. I think he wouldn't be able to remember one guy who his Dad killed when he was five, and even if he did remember him he wouldn't just assume that this totally alive guy was him.

Switching from EK to DK. I don't disapprove of adoption, but I want to see what happens first. If Ruth adapts well to our household, and Danal is ok with the idea, adoption is a great idea and makes a lot of sense. Definitely no on taking the kid to Baitel though.

Random thought about Fishdad: He can regenerate from massive wounds. That's impressive. Even with that power, he had to adopt. So, something other than biology was keeping him from having kids. I'm wondering if there's some kind of Highlander thing going on, where there's a group of people who get powers and can't (or really, really shouldn't) have kids. Maybe they're avatars? This is kind of making me rethink Ishamal, too. Instead of a melachim, he could be some kind of empowered not-quite-mortal. --- Also, re-reading the intro, Fishdad called Jalitha a 'sea witch' a few times. Did we ever ask what was up with that? It seems like an oddly specific accusation to throw at a woman from inland.

He is a great therapy dog. On plan fish dad, I think team hunger needs to keep holding its cards close. Wait till Enkidel is actually a powerful force to be reckoned... And then the world shall know Enkidel's hunger can never be satiated.

I feel compelled to finish this. ....and you live hungrily ever after. The end. Or not. After spuring a city which seems to have some sort of connection to the divine, what with the miracle cures, minotaur army trouncing blessings and dragon killing not-mesopotamian supermen, you walk away easily. They totally don't stop you. All of Ishamal's warnings about the damage you could so were totally bluffs! Yeap! Off you go, a plume of smoke rising up from your burning house behind you. As Naomi sobs and Ishamal and Tudiya yell at each other about how they drove you to this, there is a storm cloud overhead....  BZZZZZZAP! I seriously wish we could split the game into alternative universes but the strain would literally kill me. A HUNGER game after this is not out of the question. I suppose we could vote on it? I don't see this game ending any time soon though. I'd like to go back to Denziroh next but nothing is set in stone. HUNGER game could be fun. Team Fishdad, seriously though, you better hide your thoughts or the Melachim might find out!

SerSpook posted:How strong is Danal's presence, compared to when he left? It is not a map, it is not a radar display, it does not match a HUD from any video game. It is not a compass. To try to put it into words, you feel a... pressure on your head, almost an intensity which seems to have some relation to distance and perhaps other things? Calming yourself to actively consider them lets you sort through them more carefully. Comparing Presences which are not orders of magnitude apart is difficult. Perhaps your sense(s?) cannot pick out the fine details? The largest Presence is far, far, far to the Northeast. You know EXACTLY where it is. It outshines all others, greatly so. The largest Presence in Zepath seems to be focused on El's temple. You can feel it a few hours beyond the city. Next comes Ishamal's which is strong but less. Next come Tudiya's, which is much less. Next comes Aaron's which is much less. Less than him are the other Mighty Men. After them... truth be told, after Aaron, it is tough to tell, the feeling is too weak. You are NOT CONFIDENT you have ANY of these ranked right except for the one far to the northeast, let alone the ones at the.. lower end of the spectrum? Next come your Mighty So-... no. Next comes Danal. You consider it, his Presence is stronger now. Then your Mighty Sons. Just after them, Paebel and the Melachim worshiper Balls, excluding Eleazer who has none. All of the rest of your Balls have a Presence, weaker still, you know roughly where they are in Zepath. Your slave Hidai also has none, nor do the other slaves one of your Balls brings along to serve you all. Your charms have a very weak Presence. Snarls has no Presence. Indor's shop is full of many small ones and Indor and Puabi both seem to have... somehow odd ones? Presences beyond seem... muted somehow, somewhat, while in her shop, except for the one far to the northeast which was not diminished in the least. I am repeating this. You are NOT CONFIDENT you have ANY of these ranked right except for the one far to the northeast, let alone the ones at the.. lower end of the spectrum. From questioning Ishamal, he told you that considering Presences is not dangerous, but it may not always be wise to rely on the information, whatever that meant. The fact you can know Zepath to be owned up to two and a half days out appears unrelated to Presences? You simply know it while there. Cornuto posted:Ask Tudiya if he sensed anything off about Bagar.

Plan Fishdad is the most retarded thing since plan fishlaser. Enkidel will run out of ??? before he ever arrives in Athar. He will be fighting monsters non-stop because there's no way Snarls will come with on such a trip. It's been twenty years since he left, and never was Sushem's irreplaceable star pupil. Sushem has a different apprentice now which makes Enkidel unneeded and unwanted. Even if Athar's villagers don't mistake him for a gigantic monster and kill him on sight, he will never be accepted because he's too different. (For starters, Enkidel cuts his hair. That's a massive sin in Atharan culture). Ignoring all other issues, there's still the problem that Enkidel is being watched by just about every Melachim. The moment he has his first taste of human flesh, he's in for a smiting. If you're serious about exploring the lifestyle of a cannibal, you're better off sneaking out of Zepath one night, abducting a few children and slaves from Ibleam, and founding a cannibal culture somewhere near the coast. This is only massively stupid instead of retarded because the Melachim will still smite Enkidel for this, but at least he won't die early halfway during the trip.

It would be irresponsible not to consider what this new information means. Shuushem being alive raises a lot of new questions, but also opens up a lot of new options for our goals going forward. We have to consider what going back to Athar would be like, if only to discard it immediately for being INCREDIBLY STUPID. Considering the repercussions can still lead to some insight into the mysteries of the world, even if we would never do it. Never ever. Absolutely not. PLEASE don't smite us Mr. Smattas.

Remember a certain Roc that we killed and then felt a small power surge which we somehow stupidly decided not to take 10 seconds to enjoy? Second of all we know about sneaking along the edge of the coast/forest where the monsters don't seem to hang around that much. Third. You're just saying Snarls won't come along because you disagree with the plan. Fourth. Enkindel might be unneeded as Shushem's apprentice but who's to say a giant beefcake full of [pie] is somehow unwanted as Ashera's greatest agent? Do you know? Fifth. Even if we don't manage to convince the people of Athar to take us back then and they decide to kill us. How are they going to kill us? We're almost three meters tall. Multiple times stronger and faster than they are and they couldn't even catch Danal. Sixth. You're also assuming a bunch of stuff about the Melachim and we have no clue about how they work or what they do in these kind of situations. We don't even know if they would find us if we left Ur. Sure they know everything but as Azz once said. When you know everything it gets kind of hard to keep track of your thoughts. You might forget to keep your eye on this one part of the everything with all the everything you need to keep on top of you know.

I honestly would consider voting Team FishDad ( my "I voted to cut our hand with the shark tooth" bumper sticker proudly attests to my early Hunger days); there's just no way in hell anyone let's us stomp off out of Zepath right now. Even if we sneak out in the dead of night Ish or a Melachim or someone is going to stop us before we get anywhere near Athar and will put us in exile or something for daring to not drink the El Kool Aid. If you're going to do this you have to do it smart - if and when Danal goes on his expedition, go with him, and when we see Shushem start maiming the Zepathians, start praising Hunger and bowing at FishDad's feet.
