the_steve posted:Honestly, I think Zepath already has some sort of Big Red Button in place that we don't know about yet. Yeah. ZEPATH might have a big red button. Kavodel ain't got jack and we voted to sit back and defend it. I just want to get us our own big red button. As for what we might have that the Orm might want? I don't know. We'd have to talk to it to find out. I'm sure we can work something out if it really does love treasure (though I'm starting to doubt that part of the story is true considering the random bits of loot stacked up below the hole). Otherwise we might strike some sort of exchange deal, I have no idea. Because we don't have enough information. Getting information is my primary goal in this game, and I will vote for information gathering above all other things, and in the face of any danger. That's just what my heart tells me to do.

TheCog posted:Yes, because nothing will be better for Kavodel or Zepath than setting off a nuke on top of the city. The point is to set it off before Doom 2 gets to the city.

Let's explore a bit more rather than running away at the first sign of something interesting. There will NEVER be a chance to find something cool in this game that doesn't also have some sort of risk attached, no one gives info for free and we have to take it where we can get it.

The chances of the Orm becoming an on demand nuke for us are about the same odds that the PtB decide that we can freely show whomever we want our wings because we're so swell.

Crap.... I am so far behind..... Do we want a friend or do we want to acquire something tangible or intangible, but valuable in some way? I figure this whole thing has been more based on making a friend if at all possible. We know Azz considered the Orm a friend. And pretty much everyone speaks kindly of the Orm, while reminding us not to get eaten. Anyway... I want us to make a friend. I figure the fecklessness of kitten, puppy or baby goat on the one hand or actual compassion on the other. Being here at all pretty well handles the fecklessness. So we aren't all psychically intruding, or getting psychically obliterated, but we are aware that we can read minds and that we can hurt ourselves doing so. It may not be necessary, and might be discourteous to just go exploring around. We do not need more physical proximity than we already have in order to communicate, I would suggest. Do we want to? We were caught completely unaware by 7bird. I am not suggesting some intentional Orm attack. Just the scale alone could be overwhelming or whatever.

B e: the thing of importance is that the Orm is our dad, it is neutral as opposed to good or bad because the first thing snek-dad does is berate for not having adopted a proper snek-form, instead choosing to be a strange winged mammal. it will then keep us locked up until we learn to properly shapechange into a serpent of some sort

A humble suggestion for our personal jubilee preparations after we've finished in the snake pit: Step one: we talk to Zeb about the place we saw as a kid and get him to help us convince Tudiya we need to take a leave of absence for the better part of a year for the good of Zepath. Step two: We take a slight detour to wolf lands and strike a deal with the Big Rad Wolf to aid our fight against the Bniamokt. Step three: We go down to the place with all the magic stuff and take it back to Ur with us. Optional: we swing by the place we were born and kick zombie dad's rear end with our new bow that doesn't suck.

E. I was C before. Also, I don't see our obligations being less after the jubilee. There will be more jubilees, and possibly open war with demonic forces. Maybe we become king. Also it is six years, not six weeks to jubilee.

This is true, but it's also a mischaracterization. Being the sort of person that would want to be friends with sad snek is why there's sometimes somebody to bail us out. I think our super power isn't that we have wingats (well it helps in that it's hard to kill us), but that we're kind and brave and goofy and generous. We've been saved by the Watchers (Chait), Paebal, Azz, &c directly because we're the idiot of dance.

Tsyni posted:Dire warnings come with bloody images and dread. This seems much more interesting. Interesting could mean anything though, yeah? I said before I would vote to go ahead since it seemed to be what Enkidel was currently dedicated to. I'm unsure now though. I guess the question now is: is Enkidel the sort of character who is more dedicated to investigating mysteries, or more dedicated to his life in Kavodel and Zepath, protecting his friends, dog, etc? If it's the latter, I don't see continuing here as being a sensible option, in the light of this info. Enkidel now has the 'knowledge' that something tremendously, life-alteringly momentous is about to occur - does he have enough reason to think it's something good, vs destructive to his current way of life, to be willing to risk his friends and family back home who would be destroyed - emotionally and very likely literally (Lefkandi) - by losing Enkidel here? I don't think he does. I wish we'd never gone for the whole leader-of-men thing, but we did, so A seems like the most sensible option given Enkidel's current knowledge. Especially given that there's no particular reason to expect anything immediately useful - like a pact with the Orm lol - to come out of this exploration, vs the reason to think something riskily life-changing will occur.

I don't think Enkidel has ever hesitated to pursue knowledge. Curiosity is the most powerful motivating factor in his life. Even finding the ore deposits that turned him into the most fabulously wealthy person around (and prompted the founding of his own city) basically came down to being curious if his magic dog could actually smell stuff underground.

Life-altering could mean anything, yes. Remember the Amok reveal? Breathgate? Pretty life-altering poo poo right there, and some of the standout moments in the game because it changes things up for us and gives us more information. I'm almost positive that our whatchadoodle sense would have been screaming bloody murder about LIFE ALTERING poo poo AHEAD HOLD ONTO YOUR rear end before we opened that tomb in Amalek. HOWEVER, we aren't getting a RUN AWAY DANGER DANGER siren so I say go for it unless El tells us to cheese it. Given how much time goons have lately put towards frustrated question time and complaining about being left in the dark, it seems to me that Enkidel is largely Tired Of This poo poo and needs something more. Be that a powerful ally or rival, some kind of revelation, who knows. Enkidel doesn't just walk away from things like this.
