Speaking of Paebel what's the theory why his kids aren't ninjas. He even switched to Enkidel El heresy for the immortality and fertility buff already.

Does anyone remember what the description of the gem Enkidel got from the giant toad monster was? The one he gave to Indor? I can't seem to find it. Was it one of the blue stones or something else?

I wager they are more obviously blooded than paebal was at their ages (man, it's so convenient that bloodedness sometimes lies dormant in families for a bit!), so they probably don't have the same need to be stealthy. I wager paebel would feel happier if he could just punt bnaimokt into atmosphere if he could.

Definitely a blue stone. I think it was the biggest blue stone Enkidel has ever possessed. The one inside OC or the chait bow were very small compared to it. Indor probably stole most of the ??? and played dumb.

Pretty sure the Bluestone we got from Toadiya was the first raw Bluestone we ever found, before we had any idea of how significant they actually were. Of course, it didn't help that when we tried getting details from Ishamal, he went full on "Yep, that's a shiny rock.  "

Indor probably stole most of the ??? and played dumb. Thanks! I'm beginning to think that the blue stuff we've been seeing when people die aren't actually 100% "souls" but rather the stuff that makes a big soul stone. Kinda like the El battery theory, except that Labaras used a huge blue stone from a god to turn himself and eventually his descendants into Mighty Men after using lesser stones to make a super weapon.

Moreso than anything we think of anyone else. That might be why no ones ever tried to hurt him since ibleam. Every time they get near him they just realise the one true truth and noone can hurt something they know in their bones is a good boy. Let's mail him to Fare as a spy.

Let the melachim police come, or the lovely temple preist. Temple of El can go screw for telling us to shut up. Jael is cool, I can trust him to talk striaght as best he can.

You stumble upon two melachim on the road to the grasslands. One melachim wants to tell the truth but can't, the other melachim can tell the truth but doesn't want to. Which melachim's demands do you immediately capitulate to?

We climb towards the ordinary looking third floor, but suddenly go through the same goop that was in the Orm’s pit. We suddenly find ourselves in a tower decorated with bright colors and flooding with activity. A dozen Melachim stop mid flight and try to hide very clumsily. A very tired Jael appears behind us.

I say we gather up a bunch of forbidden knowledge and use it to cause a schism where we found our own Church of El. We're easily a third of the way there.

I think you’re vastly underestimating the House of El. Their prime temple could fit most if not all of Kavodel or Zepath inside of it. And all the forbidden knowledge we could possibly muster is know by Them as are we. They Know in the explicitly capitalized sense of the word and we are just fumbling around in the world that They have curated for at least centuries if not millennia. All this knee jerk rebellion is expected by Them and we were given a mentor for exactly this we just keep pushing. And They expect us to and probably the majority want us to. But it doesn’t mean we, Enkidel, isn’t loving up in a lot of ways that we can’t even fathom.

Voting to yank Conedoor free and turn it into one of those things at the mall what make quarters roll down the tube portion but it takes way longer than you expected. Use the funds to build a Dog Mansion for Snarls.

iirc The Temple in Baitel was literally bigger than Zepath- carved out of a single piece of stone and had its own weather And had a ’monumental’ presence somewhere in the basement

Fukn Baitelians, hogging all the weather to themselves while Zepath scrapes by with half a cloudbank to share with Dor. Enough I say! Things gotta change.

There seems to be a trend at least in Ur to have past decisions being made based on actual reasons other than tradition. So why is having two temples per city so bad and how does having two temples affect things in terms of divine stuff. We know that there are loopholes to the rule such as at Effrat but that could just mean Amos actually has control over whatever divine things the Effrat temple there but since he follows the party line the melachim just shrug.

Diogines posted:Archaeologist just started digging up the capital of an unknown kingdom at the edge of ancient Mesopotamia, near the mountains. So, thinking about this, would it be better for us to encounter a hunger demon or a Balrog down there, deep within the Earth? Pros of the Balrog: It can be killed and is not literally invincible. It's larger. Quantum-wing-state means that there is a small chance we might see it try to fly, have wings, then the wings disappear and it falls to its death! Appears to mostly like just chilling instead of rampant murder, so probably stationary target that is cool if we just shove a rock over it, even if it could easily break out. Cons of the Balrog: It represents the baleful influence of an evil intelligence growing in our world, potentially meaning an actively malevolent semi-divine being wants to kill us or make us his slaves. May come with legions of goblins that would pose a far more mobile threat. It took an angel of capital G God sacrificing its life to kill one, since we do not have access to Glorfindels (note: if anyone in the thread has a Glorfindel most of the issues involving a Balrog disappear and it becomes clear #1 option). Pros of the Hunger demon: Will not upset the religious status quo by only reinforcing that if there is a divine being, it does not care about us (Per Amok). Relatively small, compared to a balrog. Appears to be very easy to seal using modern materials if pre-modern stone is strong enough to lock them away for a long time. If we can socialize it, it's unending hunger could probably be used to clear out landfills and nuclear waste (note: if this just results in a heavily irradiated hunger demon then it may be a net loss. I'm assuming once it eats the waste the waste just kinda poofs out of existence). Does not play well with others, so probably won't bring friends. Can be restrained by tall, bearded, not-quite-jewish people, which while a finite resource are not exactly hyper-rare, I wager. Cons of the Hunger demon: Has ONLY negative chill, is not comfortable just hanging out in a dusty crypt or mine filled with corpses like Balrog. Would like to leave crypt, eat everything and will actively attempt to do so 24/7/365 (probably. Maybe once the lights go out they get sleepy?). Weird philosophers will probably drone on and on about how it represents a bunch of concepts that it has nothing to do with. Can probably permanently eat souls, so if there is an afterlife it pretty much says "no there is not for you", which is a bummer. It's small enough that somebody out there will probably try to have sex with it. Appears to actually be completely immune to damage of any sort. Probably does not wash hands.
