Joking aside, if we die here, aside from the sadness at the game ending, I'll be pretty much okay with it. A death where we knew the risks, legitimately took the gamble, but it didn't pay off. I'd be a tiny bit disappointed to find out that there was, essentially, an encounter out here (the lizard lands) where, if we chose to investigate, it was more or less guaranteed that we'd die, but hey, we have been warned to stay away from big entities, and there were any number of chances for us to try and fight or run away cleverly. We decided we wanted to see what was up, and in the end, if it turns out to be the wrong decision, it's still one we made pretty well informed.

The death of this nest of vipers. I want to pull the pillars of this place down on their empty loving heads. I want to collapse a mountain on them, and I want it to be LOUD enough to catch the attention of the hungry, greedy horror-gods out here, who will finish them off. Because gently caress THEM. I'm glad to see a reasonable option's winning, but I gotta vote with my heart, and I am done being reasonable.

I'm actually surprised at the number of votes for violence, but not horribly so. Take an already sketchy position and combine it with a guy who has us entirely under his power, just actively expressed loathing of us and disdain for our beliefs, and has a desire to see us dead. Whelp.

Diogines posted:You take a deep breathe that you might still speak with the great pressure pushing down upon you. You say, I am Enkidel, son of Jalitha and Tudiya, son of... " you recount back the long generations, the names of great Kings and great Hearoes, the Figure remaining silent. You hear the crackling of flames which seems to be coming from the pillar upon which the Figure leans its head. You finally finish with "...Zepa, King of Zepath. My loyalty is to El, my friends, family and people." Your hands still in front of your eyes to block them from the blinding light of the Figure upon the throne, you yell ""A moment! You say that I lie, but it is not possible for one to lie if he knows not the truth. If you wish to search my mind in order to learn the secrets of my birth, I would gladly allow you to do so that I may learn those secrets myself." Somewhere very close, you hear the crackling of flames.  You do not stop with your request "But I ask that you do so gently, for in searching you will find that if I have spoken falsehood, it was without intent to deceive. But if you seek to do other than to search my mind, please inform me that I may consider whether to seek death or mercy." Long screens of silver chains hang from the ceiling along the side of the throne room, partially obscuring the view of the creatures in the gallery. There are no such thing as venetian blinds in Ur, but you hear a loud CLAP as the screens slam shut, fully obscuring the view of the creatures sitting in the gallery. The female creature which had been speaking to you, turns to the two guards, makes a terrified hiss-click noise and then the three of them run through a small door behind the throne in obvious fear! The ancient, sickly Figure upon the throne gives no hint of movement. The intensity of the Presence is growing exponentially... and it is not coming from the Figure. But the pillar of rainbow-like metal upon which it rests its head. Which is now, slowly, opening....  The screens of metal directly in front of you are parting. Nothing you see is moving them. 1. If there is anything you would like to do in this brief moment as the pillar opens, write it in now. This is a minivote. If you want any additional information about the scene around you, ask.

Either the godsnake is on fire or it's charging its laser. Considering the "Presence is growing exponentially", I will assume the latter. We probably should run or go in for the kill.

I'd like to give the Cassandra Award to Mexican Deathgasm, who said "if we don't tell Snarls to rescue us, we won't be rescued once they drag is deeper into their territory." That was spot on. The allegedly numerous escape plans were...Not plans, but desperate ill-fated last stands that got increasingly terrible. "Now you're in Lizard Baitel. You have no idea which way is out, and you're pretty sure the whole place will be on high alert the minute you hit the gates You are also naked and cannot soak bullets. Would you like to try escaping NOW?"

The occupant of the throne rests its head against one of them, its eyes receded back into its skull. Are you in the presence of... a demon? A god? Diogines posted:Two pillars of a metal which look like the colors of a rainbow straddle the throne and the creature rests its ancient head against one of them. Diogines posted:Each step closer to the throne and its massive, snake-bird-lizard-god Figure is harder than the last. When you finally arrive before it, you must raise your hands to block your face, the reflected radiance coming from the large metal pillars beside the Figure is too bright.

Diogines posted:Between gaps in your fingers, you see that the female lizard-creature who had prostrated herself on the floor beside the Figure on the throne has risen and leans her head close to the mouth of the Figure, which lay unmoving against one of the pillars of rainbow colored metal. You hear no sound, but you feel the PRESENCE pulsing several times, which is not an even remotely pleasant experience. The two guards standing beside the throne use their wings to cover the faces of their golden bird-shaped masks. Diogines fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jun 21, 2015 |
