A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.

If we manage to break through this and actually light the sacrifice this is going to be the mother of all fireworks considering the hardship we have to push through to make it happen. Tsar Bomba's gonna look like two pebbles falling on top of each other compared to this.

We'd...better hope El comes through some kind of teleport home because I don't think we're gonna stay hidden after this.

Frankly, I don't know anyone who likes Chinese bronzes, but I have one of the finest collections in the country.
Huh, neat.

Why now? It started when we began talking about El. Something metaphysically poignant is going on with even a minor symbolic act of shifting praise away from us and to El. Something in us absolutely, terribly doesn't want to do it.

Or is it something in the soul orbs calling out to us? The Demon in the mace?

I'd love to know what happens when we eat these things. Maybe we'd discover that we're the same type of thing as whatever sits on the Mountain, that we can claim souls and be God in just the same way, that it really is an injustice that El is taking the glory and not us.

But then, even Amok, an ancient being like us, seemed to recognize that giving in meant the end. Resist was the command, and this was from someone who presumably knew what the gently caress he was talking about. Someone who attained all that power without giving in to hunger.

There's also the whole 'eating human souls' thing; even if we could become a God, it's probably not a great idea to anger an even bigger one right off the bat. We'd presumably be in a situation like the other powers out here, having to carve out our own territory, and given that right now we're sandwiched between El and "Amok", it doesn't seem like a good time to give in.

I do wonder if we'd be able to 'eat' without giving in to hunger entirely. We did it when Asahel fed us. I know in some alternate time-line once we gave in it was over, but that was with our well having actually emptied. Regardless, it's all idle speculation now.

I hope El appreciates this struggle.

Cook the food.

As an aside, it's pretty funny that the presence of so much concentrated loot sends Enkidel into a magpie frenzy. If we ever come back to the giants we'll need to plan around it.

"All right, fellas, that's good enough, let's take a prayer break."

"What? But why? There's still more to kill, more loot to plunder!"

"Yeah, but if we get any more I'm gonna pig out on them."

I uh...I wonder if we've triggered the endgame scenario at this point by taking land from the giants. And who knows what the fallout will be from Amok being unleashed and attacking Fare.

We didn't take land from the giants though, it is still owned by gebeb. It will probably only stop being owned if he dies or relinquishes it willingly or is actually driven from it.

Endgame scenario is basically whatever would end it for us, I suppose, but in more meta-gamey terms I'm pretty sure the end-game scenario involves Asherah breaking free, and nothing short of it.

I think there are multiple end-game scenarios. One involves Asherah and another involves all out mobilization and war between the different factions. If the scale is tipped too much the giants might move north as well as the lizardmen.

You know, make a note. Next time we talk to Tudiya, we should ask him what happened when he sacrificed whatever it was he sacrificed off the dragon he took down, and if he felt anything odd when he did.
