Tomn: how big was the boat? What color was the boat? Sail or engine? What really goes on on the poop deck? Are you a spy for Asherah now? What kind of fish did you eat? Did you drink seawater? Do fish have nipples? Do your nipples smell like fish? Welcome back!

Mexican Deathgasm posted:Tomn: how big was the boat? 103 feet sparred length, 65 on deck, mainmast goes up to 75 feet. Draws 6 feet or so on a funky triple keel setup. Blue and Chieftain Brown - or as we sometimes call it, baby poo poo brown. Don't bother looking it up, for some reason we specifically have to commission this particular shade of brown despite it being kinda naff. Both - sailing when taking out passengers and when the wind was favorable during transits, engines when docking/undocking, getting out to a spot where the sailing was good, and for the vast majority of transits because it turns out relying on the wind to move does not jibe well with 21st century scheduling. Well, now, the word "poop" actually comes from a French term which in turn comes from a Roman word meaning "Rear of the ship" but also "Idol," because in Roman ships there used to be a little shrine to the god(s) of the sea in the very aft end of the ship - and so after a bunch of permutations, we end up with the modern English "poop." So you know the story I mentioned earlier about sea otters pissing aggressively at us? I went on to handle sea otter pelts on a regular basis (for educational purposes). Also I haven't seen it myself but I'm reliably informed that sea otters love to use mooring lines as toilet paper, which is a fun surprise for the sailors who have to cast off said mooring lines. I don't think I'm on the friendliest terms with the beasts of the sea is what I'm saying here. We have fridges, fish was only occasionally on the menu. There was one time the chef of the other boat we sailed with managed to score some primo salmon steaks, though. Not intentionally, but we did a few liferaft drills that probably involved a little seawater getting in. Not to the best of my knowledge. Not to the best of my knowledge. I can dish it out AND take it, don't you think I can't!

Also as an aside I'd just like to point out that with Mighty Men acting as rowers and a Blooded Bronze cap, a trireme could probably make a pretty big hole in Eyescream. Just putting that out there.

Man, It's just a huge bummer that this is happening, but the Bnaimokt are starting to turn towards the city. poo poo is hitting the fan in the most real way possible and if we don't hold those breaches everybody dies. I wonder why the sudden move towards the city by the Bnaimokt though. They were very content to just sit and seige, maybe it has to do with the destruction of their seige machines? When we destroyed the slingapults they can't form more breaches without Gebek, and Gebek is clearly not willing or able to cross yet for some reason. Did our arrival basically trigger their 'we need to charge the city *now* or we lose' plans? They have to know that Zepathans can hold these breaches, assuming we don't have two of our heavy hitters get sidetracked trying to rescue lost causes.

Theres your answer. The Asherankan is here with the Zepathans. We're hosed unless we can hit the temple and break the dominion/claim.

I imagine it's a Hail Mary to either get us or the temple, or both if possible, before their army gets properly wrecked by us.

They've increased the sacrifice rate across the river so I figure this is a race to see if the Foe's ritual is completed first or if the Zepathans can wreck their army before said ritual is finished.

They blew horns and charged not when our group attacked the lines and destroyed the slingapults, but when Gebek detected us. Either they are vastly overestimating Enkidel's strength (we killed first and second and shot off huge artifact at oldemokt) and they are making a panicked push. Or, more likely this is not a siege. They are luring us out for capture with blood magic from south of the river.

I get that killing Enkidel is a priority, but I have to think turning Acco into mush is a bigger priority, because pulping the city under Gebek's heel ultimately gives them an even cleaner line directly at Kavodel and Zepath from the mountains. I have a hard time believing that they have a spell that takes three/four DAYS to cast. I wonder if they're maintaining an army buff on the Bnaimokt and the Anti-Magic Zone? They might have just enabled the army-buff when Enkidel showed up?

Throw 'em into the shallows. Tell them to get all muddy and lay still. Maybe the Bnaimokt will assume they're a bunch of muddy corpses that got squished by us throwing them into the shallow end of a lake.
