Born down in a Atharan town
The first kick from Sushem was when I hit the ground
You end up like a Snarls that's been beat too much
Till you spend half your life just covering up
Born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.
Born in the UR. S. A.
Got in a little hometown jam so they put a spear in my hand
Sent me off to a foreign land to go and kill the demon man
Born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.
Born in the UR. S. A.
Come back home to the minery
Foreman man says "son if it was up to me"
Went down to see my Mighty man
He said "son don't you understand now"



Had Ithma at Ibleam fighting off the Viet Norks
They're still there he's all gone

He had a woman he loved in Tanaach
I got a picture of him in her arms now




Down in the shadow of El temporarily
Out by the gas fires of the Asherah Way
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go
Born in the UR. S. A.
I was born in the UR. S. A.

I'm a long gone daddy in the UR. S. A.

Switch with Uriah and start smashing it while crying out to El! Some part of our mind may have given in to fear before, but a heart full of El cannot fail!

M - trade with Uriah, and smash the "unbreakable shield while held by one of our line" into its face repeatedly with the strength of 125 men until it stops moving or we prove Tudiya a liar.

This is the stuff. This right here.

I'd personally like to add on that while we are doing this, have the men search for something useful, if only because at worst, if we can't kill this thing, maybe we can loot something useful from this place before we have to run the gently caress out of here.

So, M as above, D.

Edit: Diog added Task Manager's quote as O, so I'm voting O, plus D. I hope we wedge the shield in its stupid toothy dagger-jaws and just keep hitting it until its head comes off.

Diogines posted:

Some corner of your mind, perhaps only your own doubts, tells you that you have prostrated your face upon the floor before demons and defied the highest of El's commandments. You say no... no, it was not worship but some small corner of your heart calls you a liar, feckless and faithless. El will not help you. You are not worthy of his aid... you swear you almost hear a faint whisper of Jobe's voice in your ears, perhaps only your fears as you face this demon, that El has abandoned you?

This is the sort of foolish notion a demoralizing shriek-demon would want us to be afflicted by, and it's categorically garbage. I didn't vote at the bow/not-bow juncture, but no matter who did or how that played out, I firmly believe that if El exists and that's the entity that has watched us our entire life and seen everything in our mind, he's wise enough to know our motives for going that route were not to worship whatever we were about to encounter.

We're here spreading the light of El beyond his domain as muscle-missionaries and literally punching demons to smithereens. If that ain't enough for El, I don't know what is.

Not only that, but if the watcher was El, then it knows all our fears, weakness, doubts, the time we wanted to leave children and women to die to save ourself, the times we consorted with a witch, everything and it still helped us.

O is an interesting idea, but I think I see an issue with it?

Uriah can harden his weapons or fists, such that they do not break, or at least are ridiculously tough.

Your shield is unbreakable according to Tudiya.

Your harms and hands are not. Using your full strength on the shield will very probably break your arms. You are at 125 men, not your "normal" 140 men worth of strength. yet Uriah can probably put more pain on it with his lesser strength than yours, since he can use all of it without breaking his arms.

If El forsaken us then we die

If we don't die, then ???

gently caress THIS poo poo BREAK HIS FACE OR DIE TRYING IM TIRED OF THE loving DOUBT CREEPING UP

Well piss. And I thought that might work - but if I'm reading this right Uriah is pretty much already wailing away at it at about equivalent strength to us AND he isn't going to break his arms doing so.

Back to the drawing board I guess.Diog, did that clay ball we found resmble one of the clay ball explosives Indor was selling? Maybe fire will at least daze it, if conventional means won't, and that last survivor had a "suicide pill" if he ended up giving into the hunger?

No. Small clay balls are sometimes used in jewelry, painted various colors. This one was blue, though the paint has chipped. A single bead however is an odd thing to wear in jewelry, let alone on the end of an obviously valuable gold necklace? A clay bead is not valuable.

You have some silver coins in a pouch on your belt, no silver knives. Your culture does not ascribe supernatural power to silver weapons. There are no monsters weak to silver.
