You know, I kind of wonder what Ish would say if we came back from a trip like this and immediately took the super pious no more heresy stance and we’re like born-again evangelical fervor about it. Start ranting and raving about blasphemy and heresy and respecting the house of el etc etc. I kind of want to do it just to see his face and then break kayfabe and say ‘lol nah I totally broke into a heathen temple and got invited to a party aunt sex cult but El’s still dope. so what’s up with you?’ basically I just want to pull another Ishamath.

quote:1. As to the topics of Chorazin, the tower in Carine and the message from the Earth Matriarch, did you want to speak to Ishamal about either? Pick as many as needed. You told Ishamal about the tower. You can freely question him about anything related to that now if you want. You ask him what many of the things you found inside and discover swiftly that he won't help you determine the function of anything that you found in there, if he even knows what they did or are. You did not tell him about the message you received from the Earth Matriarch, nor mention the incidents at Chorazin. Diogines fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Jun 5, 2020 |

Again, not that there would be, seeing as no ancient citadels were looted on my trip of course

I'm going to bold this as a vote because it's something I want to do after our chat with Ish, not because I want to mention it to Ish (not that I want to hide it, but I doubt he would care?): we should talk to Zebanetha before we go back to Kavodel. He has previously told us he believes some of the old tales may be allegorical, so I would like to ask him about what he thinks about Badad/Ninhursag, some of the Karnak Metropolitan Area priests being either traitors or infiltrators, whether he thinks an ancient shrine which we found in an unspecified location could have been a shrine to El, and whether the 18 commandments could have been an early/regional/now-obsolete variant of El-worship.

Is that because the events at Karnak were very... noticeable? Also, Diog, given our experience with the Amok Tree, wouldn't a child need to hop the fence, skin their knee on the roots, and then take a nap under it for several hours?

If Kitron is a bad idea what about Paebel scouting Gezer? Can I come along? Is Paebel scouting during the jubilee safer? Do we know of cities in the past that voluntarily had kings renounce their kingship to be magistrates of another city? Can you tell me if the trip south or Karnak was more noticeable? Is the House of El aware of the things I did at Carine?

I think it was pretty clear that we made Everystrike ourself, but with plenty of oversight and direct instruction, and then we got memory snipped. Can't have clear memories of the Ophanim of the Forge directing us to make a sentient tool, now can we? I imagine Enkidel doing his light sleeper bit when Dwayne Johnson with four wings POPs into reality in front of us wearing wraparound safety sunglasses, a leather apron loaded with tools, carrying a giant smithing hammer while smoking a cigar. He pokes us awake with the hammer and tells us to get to work while he coaches us on what to do to make Everystrike. When we're done he lightly boops us on the head with the hammer and we wake up as in the update.

Ophal's a she iirc. Coincidentally, also another argument for taking on a woman apprentice, the best smith in all of creation besides El Himself is a woman. Surely she might smile upon a mortal woman taking up the trade?

Oh you mean the strap on my mystical sandals that both give me a killer manny and the ability to walk up walls like some sort of manspider also have some esoteric function? Please can you teach me this 'tie' ability? quote:Ishamal sips. Then pauses. Then says "The laurels are not going to help you much anymore, you are too noticable. Relying on them is probably not a great idea." So they're somewhat useless to us now? Would you consider it an abuse of their power or meddling in the affair of kings to gift them to donut ruler as a trick to make their head explode?

Ask Ishamal: Can you tell me what CHAZAQ means/does? (explain the effects we saw, how it eventually overcame Barkstone) "What can be done for Ruth?" "Can we trust the entity known as Nikali? Would they be a useful ally?" "Would failing to return the Light-Bringing-Orbs endanger Zepath or Kavodel?" "Was Amos mistaken?" (About Souls dissipating) "What are Bluestones, really? Why does El seem to be depicted as one?" Ask Every-Strike/Enkidels Religious Education Would constructing a new altar for the temple at Kaovdel be something that We could do, or does it need to be done by a priest?
