Stop hiding

Are we currently visible to our men? Or is this more metaphysical, like in the star-view we had in neo-amalek, if that's the case not a good idea to become visible.

Grow wheat

Not that relevant right now

Flee quickly

If we could flee with some people this would be very tempting

Absorb disciples

I'd rather not risk it

Attack them

Why would we do this?

Create fish

Not that relevant right now, tempting though

Let there be rain

Not that relevant right now

Speak to your father

The game might end, we we WILL have our answer El dammit

Hide your wings

Who's currently able to see our wings? If they have already seen them doesn't make much sense to hide them now

Seize power

From the demon? From our followers a la Fleshbigth?

End effects

Whenever we had a "You are maintaining several effects" they were good things, no sense in stopping that now

Continue hiding

If this refers to star-view then hiding is essential, if we shine too brightly we know there are several beings able to eat us

Intensify effects

Which effects exactly?

Kill disciples

...no?

Turn around

Turn our back to the mortal world? Just gently caress off?

Enter stasis

The Amok way out, not a good time to consider this

(Yellow text)Help your priest(?)

That's we voted to do, might as well follow through. Was Paebel praying to us, and not just in a praying to the closest divine being way?

Let there be light

I don't think we are quite at that level...yet

(Blue text)Construction of the barrier and restore the senses

Close the door. Same situation as before, some time has passed, more people have died, won't be allowed to return to Zepath, most likely

Let there be darkness

Ominous

Save power

If we want to survive we need to use some of it

Let there be death

Would most likely backfire horribly

Become blue

Once you go blue, you won't change your hue?

Maintain your size

Are we giant sized right now?

I'm wondering if the colored choices are the only real choices and all the rest are false/bad, not just the nonsensical ones. Yellow = not evil, but shunning the status quo, and blue is not good, but staying the course of ish/El/melachim.

Then again, yellow things do eat people...

I have absolutely no loving clue at the moment, I need to sleep on this poo poo.

But first, instead I am going to reminisce about my favorite moment in the game.

Remember that one time before all the Bareen poo poo went down when we were in that foot race and we loving decided to jump the Zepath city wall to go home to eat because we were really loving hungry?

For me, that 100% exemplifies the character of Enkidel that we have collectively created.

Not saying you personally missed this, but maybe someone has. That was us nearly empting our well just to beat that rear end in a top hat Lullaya. We had the option to RUN FASTER, but decided that dropping the race to go eat would be a more random and therefore funnier course of action. We could've turned into a hunger demon in the middle of zepath, that would've been something.

Speak to your father

I realize the phrasing (of the english translation, mind you) doesn't promise an answer, but god damnit, would I like to have a word or two before whatever is about to happen happens. Then I would like to disregard all his advice, assuming from what we know of his heritage, his advice will be "Let your men die, you were not meant to be, it is for the greater good and I guess I was just horny ok?"

absorb followers + flee quickly.

I like restoring the barrier, but I think the damage is done. We did A Thing We Must Not Do, no going back from that, we might as well something out of it.

EDIT: This way is also probably more acceptable to the PtB than directly rewarding the worship of a follower.

That probably falls under the Create Barrier vote later, but, we need to remember what's going inside that barrier when we make it.

The Talmid thing was a while ago. Maybe at that point he was a disciple and has since become a priest?

Also, maybe it is not Paebel, but the Gebber dude?

e: Upon reading some more posts, I have to change my vote to seize power. I'd go with 'help our priest' or 'retreat quickly', but I'm not sure this is a devil we can put back in its box. Enkidel needs all the power he can get, especially if he survives this battle and a Melachim decides to punish him for what he's done.

Yeah, this seems likely, become blue=enter spirit form.

From the options I'm thinking our current physical state is more or less as we were. Maintain size means maintain our usual altered size, rather than adopt the size we should be. Hide wings is to completely vanish our wings again (although maybe it's that they've accidentally become visible).

It's good to know that we can apparently reconstruct the barrier. I get the desire to do that, take the way back, keep Enkidel from maybe ending right now. It's basically the option to rescind the last few votes. Except it's not, since we've already done it, and there will already be ramifications. We'll accomplish nothing, everyone will die and we'll be banned from Zepath/put away by the Melachim. Lose lose. Although I do worry that the option might go away if we pick something else and lead to an end anyway, at least it'll be more of a fun one than the Melachim just slapping regular Enkidel into prison.

Continuing to Hide is good, although there's also an option to stop hiding, so it seems like we're already hiding, so I don't know what we'd continue. Maybe it's that we're about to light up, and the options to flee or continue hiding are to hide more effectively, or keep from being noticed? I don't know, can't make sense of that one right now.

I find it odd there's no direct option for Smash Demon. I guess that's 'help Paebel' or 'Seize power'. Help Paebel seems a bit disappointing - we've got access to all this, and the most we can do is help him do the warding spell? At the same time, it seems like we can't handle all this power very easily, so would 'seizing it' just end catastrophically?

The options to grow wheat, make rain, and make fish are interesting. Wheat and rain seem to have to do with farmers, I imagine they come from our long association with Kavodel and it's people, we're getting powers that represent the sort of followers we have, or the sort of business we've been involved in. Make fish? A remnant of Athar? Or a trace of our 'divine' lineage?...

Speak to our father. Frankly I'm kind of concerned we'd open a connection straight to Asherah, even still. Not worth it when we don't know first who it is, we could end up in the poo poo.

Sticking with option yellow - help our priest. It seems like the option that's least extreme while still accomplishing what we did al this to accomplish in the first place Hopefully we'll be able to keep control enough to do one of the other options afterwards.
