We're smelting silver, copper, and tin, there must be some pretty nasty chemicals involved. Slag piling up. And with iron and charcoal burning that's even worse. I hope we don't accidentally invent acid rain.

Diogines posted:Gone Right, as I thought. Then I amend my vote Corner Ishamal in private and demand he explain. I don't care if he won't talk about it because he's literally the only person I know who's enough to explain. We are little child that has been seeing death for what it really is and instead of calming us, or hell even lying to us it's just deflection. We know something is different. We feel it. The last Enkidu had the same questions and he walked up the Mountain and banged on the gate until Death answered. So, it's time Ishamal. You think we're going to do something dumb like reanimate him, or start manipulating souls, well a person left alone to wallow in grief tend to do dumb poo poo. You owe us this explaination, not because we earned it but because leaving us to suffer in ignorance is cruel, and it's not one of those "it's better this way cruelty" it's inhuman. So we go to his house, and we bang on that door with the fury of our namesake until we get that bitter truth. He serves it up with a heaping helping of bitter spice and we force it down our throat and ask for seconds because enough is enough.

Theglavwen posted:Probably, I bet. Uriah's growth is being stimulated by us, we're ushering in a whole new age of Mighty Dudes, basically resetting the 'bloodline' back to 'whatever-generation-nephilim' we are. I'm betting that their power will just keep on growing as long as they hang around us, and as long as ours continues growing. Uriah'll be an Old Tales Mighty Man before we're through with him. Fare's going to have a really dumb look of shock on their face when two dozen old-world 12 foot tall blooded giants come ripping through the mountains.

Okay, so, if diog is cool with it, i am concidering - but by no means comiting to - running a small play-by-post pen and paper game in the Ur setting, using the FATE system. It would just be a short game, a couple of months probably, and cover a single adventure. Finding, tracking, and defeating a single monster or group of monsters; the conquest of a single city; saving a group of people from doom, something like that. You would likely play 4-5 blooded men on an adventure of some sort. Would any of you be interested? and if so, where would you want to play (zepath? the donut? close to, or in, baitel?) and how blooded, (or how old) would you want to be? Princes? Judah? Perhaps weakly blooded men seeking to prove their or their families worth? "the balls around the time of ibleam"? fresh out of manhood trials? perhaps a bit older; the balls a few years prior to going on the amok-trip, for example? I am not comitting to running this, but i have long wanted to run a game set in Ur, and i might was well see if there is any interest before i make plans.

Grognan posted:don't throw a tantrum you already know who this goes, its fine get it out of your system. Nah I mean Enkidel should because honestly, he's a child learning about death in the sense of him being half-melachim blood and the closest he has to a half-melachim dad is Ishamal and what child wouldn't freak out when their dog died but dad is just like "I don't wanna talk about it." I'm with Enkidu on this. Kick the gates of death till he arrives.

Diogines posted:If you are not doing play by post I am totally in. I don't enjoy that format. Noted, but my non-play-by-post schedule is a bit tight at the moment, and at risk of also conflicting with my larp schedule. i may be able to do an 'every other friday' game, but i'll have to make sure nothing conflicts first. In the meantime, i'd still like to hear from other people.

Zodiac5000 posted:You know, I'd like to just raise the idea of burying Bagar with the amulet on him and *untouched*. It feels a bit like other parties were expecting something different to happen here, and so far we haven't seen anything beyond the death of a loved one. I say we put a big X over messing with him, his body, his clothing, his medallion, everything. Just bury him and mourn in the standard Enkidel fashion (get as wasted as possible with our friends and build a statue of whatever we miss, putting it somewhere super obvious). I vote for this beautiful idea. Also give the statue to the temple and ask them to erect it in Bagar's favorite spot. It can stand as a testament to El's mercy for all time.

THE DOOM OF TANNACH!!! WATCH OUT PUPPY!!!  Phew! I think he's got it! Thank you Santa very much for my puppy's very own minion of Ashera to destroy! Fortunately he is, indeed, a very blooded doggy! (Also you can totally reveal yourself to your Santee when you give your gift if you like, it's up to y'all!)

Let's not confront Ishmael about this poo poo because we already know what he's going to say. He has explicitly told us we can get the info we want from him if we choose to exile ourselves from Ur. Otherwise we're free to learn whatever we want on our own, through whatever means we want as long as we don't experiment with our powers or gently caress up the social order too much. So let's just keep doing that. Getting training from Ish is going to help us learn poo poo passively as we develop new senses out of whatever we learn and the other poo poo we work on during time skips, so let's just stay the course for now.
