+1 praying to El for advice on the Paebel problem Also, you could pick up worse hobbies than knitting. It seemed to work wonders as a stress-relieving method for Ohone; maybe Enkidel should consider knitting a few scarves.

For what it's worth No to praying to El about whether or not to alter Paebel's memories For fucks sake, whether we do or we don't, make the decision and own up to it without trying to pawn the blame off on someone else. I'm getting tired of trying to get someone to validate every single choice we make before we make it. "Ur Loops, or Kadmonim Puffs for breakfast? Better erect an altar to El and ask someone else to decide for me." "Take a left or a right while on a casual stroll? Whoops, better run back to Zepath and ask Ishamal." Quit trying to weasel out of it every time someone gives us a hard choice.

Can I just say I am 1000% on board with taking the grandkids out on a family camping expedition. And by camping I mean monster hunting training/wilderness survival school.

New question for Ish: Any suggestions for trying to meet peoples of other lands peacefully? Tudiya tried at Athar, and if I recall it was on the table with the giants until we killed the first ones we met.

We can do it under the guise of either covering for Tudiya so he can go get Barkof or covering for us so we can go get Barkof.

Before the retcon we met the only slightly cannibalistic bug people, but even those were only interested in turtling up, nobody out there wants a mutual defence treaty. But not really, even without the retcon stuff there are glimmers of hope: Amok is a cool guy, who hates a common enemy and sees value in life, even beyond his people. He's not an ally and may never be, but doesn't fit in with demons/cannibals/monsters thing. Everfang was a monster, but one that honored a deal made after a duel. The people under the giants were not cannibals. The Kadmonen(sp?) lands are the biggest examples with their different gods and culture, but having inhabitants in Baitel. It will be hard, and foreign societies are right to be very cautious about our violent, xenophobic society. On the other hand, there is more out there than just a wasteland, and it's worth a shot to see if Ish will acknowledge that/have any ideas.

Real talk: We're obv going to need to spend time on a few things: our weird smithing/inventing, magistrating, city development, and family time. Which I recognize is a packed schedule. But, any spare time beyond that we should spend looking into agriculture. Tudiya obviously thinks a famine is coming, and being warned to save for times of hardship could well include food. If we're able to make even minor advances in food production and storage, it could be a huge help later when poo poo comes down. More than anything we might develop at the forge honestly. Also really excited to see what this weird crap Lefkandi has built is.

Before the retcon we met the only slightly cannibalistic bug people, but even those were only interested in turtling up, nobody out there wants a mutual defence treaty. The world is flat, of course. We have yet to find the edge. ninja Whatever we do (grandkids, knitting, sitting sitting on our rear end) we are going to encounter unsolvable moral dilemmas. Our response to those is going to have consequences. Currently we are constantly watched. Some of the PtB watchers and the Demonic watchers have hostile intent. No matter what we do we have to deal with that or plan on continuing to receive an increasing amount of direction, enforcement, and outright threats or violent action. Whatever we do we need to up our concealment game until it mitigates all of that to whatever degree is possible. Playing with grandkids and other such things could be a perfect cover for our actual focus and activities relative powering up our ninja powers. During that time we actually have to learn control and conceal the use of powers. Where we can't conceal them we have simply abstain from use for a time. Be a shame to have all of our (eugenic, cloned, cauldron grown) brats get mind wiped because of our lack of skill or carelessness. We have been told that we can learn ourselves is (mostly) fair game. We need to create a condition where we can actually learn those things with some impunity. In addition to control (which I believe will unlock our club) we need to learn the non-flying properties of our feather cloak, erroneously called "wings" by some. As an aside, one account of actual ninjas is that they arose as a cultural response to the rule of the Samurai class, (basically a form of the PtB) which could not be challenged directly because of the massive power imbalance. We need to actively and diligently practice whatever else we are doing. Of course this will also involve moral dilemmas because everything does. ninja Also, I suggest that if we are going to ask for more kids that we not only request twins, but that we mess with the entire nature of the project by requesting many specific features for our PtB Approved Progeny Products.

I think Ishamal told us Azz was in hiding due to what happened with his Xephanim protege Asahel. That was during the meeting with The Trio. Azz naturally likes having his privacy, and the greater scrutiny after that event made him try even harder to hide himself. We're under a lot more scrutiny than we were as a 16 year old, so any direct interaction with us will make it easier for the goat haters to spy on him.

Also, one of our most vivid memories of our life, soaring through the sky after the tooth incident, being a gross exaggeration due to us having been a 6 year old is a hilarious turn of events. But I'm not entirely convinced by Ish on that account. Ask Tudiya and Aaron about that incident when we get the chance. How high were we when we were rescued by Ishamal? Do other players think that tasking David and Ahaz with the rebuilding of Ibleam would be a good idea? It's their city by right, and David has expressed interest on doing so. But, wouldn't it be better for all the forces of man to be focused on the Kavodel, Zepath area, to better stand an incoming army? But at the same time, having to strong points would force the army to split, and make sieging a city very hard, if the other one can come to it's aid. I think that if we are going to have a 10/20 year timeskip on the near future this should be one of the points we address.

Re: Azz Given what we've learned and seen for ourselves about drawing attention, it is possible that Azz is just waiting on heat to die down. It's hard to tell how much waves get kicked up when he or any of the others do anything, or how much they do that we aren't aware of. When Azz wants us to find him, we'll find him.
