I'll take a Wrongvoter if you've got a spare.Diogines posted:If the choices are apples, oranges, pears or cutting your genitals off, well, even if the last one has more than any other single option (somehow....) if most people would prefer getting a fruit than losing theirs, it will makes sense that getting some fruit to win? So you're saying there's a chance...

Options to keeping investigating have a modest lead over options to rest, and G has a commanding lead among the former, so G wins. Too late to finish the update but we are going to start on it tonight. G. Further explore eighth floor, a floor full of strange things you cannot explain and which was nearly perfectly dark within.

I haven't been voting as much lately, but since this is honestly the only thread I post in these days, I wanted to update my avatar and hop on the gang tag.

Diogines posted:In your pack, yes. Well, stuff with which to make ink, you just need water, which you have. Apply ink to sandals, tread on parchment. "Sandals, leave footprints in the shape of the writing on the Blue Orb Room's left wall" And so on for every surface upon which there is writing. It may be too small for mortal eyes to read, but our eyesight is ridiculously good, we can copy it in a Uriah-readable size later.

Now that we aren't leaving, we've got at least another full day before we should even consider leaving again, which is a good chunk of fun. If we're goijng to be obviously suspicious to the city we might as well go as hard as we can into it.

Does Enkidel actually understand the priestly language? As in he can't read or write it fluently but knows some bits and pieces? What is its origin according to the House of El? Would the blooded ability to understand languages work on it? In the floor with all the statues, do the melachim looking ones feature a lot in the Old Tales like say the ones that El sends the most to interact with Urians? In the room with the Amok statue can Enkidel see if the people depicted there look similar as if they are brothers or cousins? Does Amok look like he is related to some statues? Do any of them look related to Enkidel, Jalitha or anyone Enkidel knows like say Azzazel? In the eighth floor with the really dark rooms do the doors that won't open unless one is closed look different in any way from the doors found in this tower? Can one of those doors once closed prevent air from coming in? Polgas fucked around with this message at 09:54 on Mar 26, 2019 |

Is it forbidden for non-priests to read the priestly language? I believe precedent is that Uriah can learn a new language instantly given a couple pages of text to work off of.

Uriah losing faith in orthodoxy is actually a good thing as it opens him up to Enkidel El heresy. The crucial part of his conversion process is to be there when he hits a breaking point. If the talmid=student stuff works that way, he will get more ??? buffs the more his thoughts aligns with his best friend. Additionally as the wars ramp up the carefully constructed lies of the House of El will crumble in front of the eyes of the faithful. Better it be done now and slowly over the centuries rather than it all come crashing at once.

The King of Sier has golden skin from his diet of gold. Clearly you should be posting in the peasant paradise lost thread. I don't remember if it's just him or his nobles also do it too.

You see those two characters in several different words. I meant that if you compress a nigh-literal wall of text into the space of a footprint, it probably would be. I'd spend all day in here meticulously copying it all down if I could, but we don't have the time for that. Could the sandals be told to exclude certain things? I don't think that came up in our mad experimentation. Sandals, leave a footprint in the shape of Zepa's monument, but with the following names missing: Enkidel, Barkof.

Question for Diogines: how high on the scale of punishment for vilest heresy does the Orb temple depicting and naming El directly count? On a scale of light admonishment to Sodom and Gomorrah? Is this a thing that anywhere else we would expect Heroes to be sent to rid the world off, or is it more the realm of the local sanitation office?

Clearly you should be posting in the peasant paradise lost thread. The king of Sier is a madman, and also probably just paints himself gold. Remember they have slaves to pick through their poo poo looking for gold bits which pretty clearly indicates they are digesting it. We definitely need to get Uriah up to these floors to read everything he can though. Enkidel getting the gift of tongues would basically be the best thing for the thread and the worst thing for the Trio/PtB ever. Right now the only reason we aren't absorbing heretical history is because we can't read it and have to rely on our translator who is definitely team El, even if it's the slightly adjusted Kavodel brand of team El.

I think odds are fairly high that we'll find some seriously theologically iffy stuff in the grasslands. If anything, we might want any distress to happen here (although him busting up a bunch of altars would probably not be the best thing for our stealth re: all the myriad powers that would love to grab us)

Man, Asahel would have been just *super* useful right now. Uriah is going to put up a fight about this. "Enkidel, this is all insanely obviously idols to false gods and melachim and stuff." "Of course it is, but we need to figure out why!" "No, we don't, we need to smash everything in here." That is not a conversation we'd be having with Asahel. Asahel would probably be actively more heretical than Enkidel. Note: This should not be taken as me complaining about Uriah, because he owns. Just that this is a situation where his particular brand of usefulness is constrained by his personality.
