He's going to start shooting back and yakety sax will play while we comically sprint to the next town with arrows falling at our heels. I can't wait.

It would need to be something better than blooded bronze, the single hunger demon we fought in Amok's tomb was able to harm everything except Zepa's shield which I'm nearly certain isn't bronze despite appearing as such.
When you think about it, top grade Blooded Bronze is a chunk of metal occupying the space where a smith dominated that chunk of reality so hard that he quite literally rejected reality and substituted his own. In the form of a Weightless indestructible Shield, a Talking Bull Statue. A Divine Ground to Air Cruise Missile shaped like an Eagle. A Battle Column. Whatever one needed. A simple blade of the stuff would be comparable go the ideal blade the Ninnies offered us.

With one hand he saves gebs. With the other he commits goblin genocide. A true neutral.

Question
Can we ask avery why our smith skills to make things pretty aren't as good? Not worth it compared to focusing on plain bb?


We realized that one time making bb arrows look like normal arrows with feathers make it shoot farther so there is some tangible benefit to being good at it.

Blooded bronze does not bend, so you cannot make (useful) wire out of it.

So wait ,Shalman, son Jamlech, son of Esher. A Grandson of Esher, who is a Grandson of Enkidel. We have great, great grand-children old enough to go to Baitel?

That means two things. One, he is young enough to be part of the generation to go to the place where the thing happens and two, Enkidel is at this old enough, his progeny prolific enough, and Kavodel small enough population wise, that Enkidel should be the highest common ancestor in Kavodel. ie; everyone from Shalmans generation and younger should be directly related to us.

Which also sounds like a problem with regards to who they can marry, considering we are also related to most people in Zepath at this point.

Asashel is at least the son of our wife, if nothing else, and the rest of them are adopted, and if we are Great Great Grandfathers, they are *at least* great grandfathers themselves. The problem persists.

Either he ignores us completely even after we hit the target (fairs, move on and leave a rock saying not to bother him) or he comes out and shouts at us (also fair). It's a win-win!

Maybe we can get him to take the sign down by offering to put one up ourselves. More likely to actually deter Kavodelians. If he still refuses to play ball then I actually like Deathgasm's suggestion.

As usual I had another paradise lost dream. In it, we met our first friendly pretender face to face! He was a giant, transparent tardigrade with the ability to create up to nine invulnerable god-soldiers at a time. Though his faction was ostensible hostile to Ur, this was mostly for show and he was open to trade once views on non-humans on our side mellowed out a bit. He also revealed that he was the one who was sending us instructions on how to make Eagle Arrows and was wondering why we weren't constantly out grinding eagles since that is our best bet against demon incursions (which his faction also had a problem with). Furthermore, he re-confirmed that the world is round and gave us a very basic world-map, pointing out that Ur is in the "Bedouin Desert", meaning we had explored less than one percent of the full map. After meeting him we were officially out of the tutorial.

Yeah I figure he's still not going to want to talk to us but leaving a couple BB arrows with Enkidel's maker's mark in his targets are a funny way to flex and there's even a 0.7% chance he actually sends the slave to chase us down and talk to us. At minimum he can have the arrows back to make up for that bundle he gave us a century ago.
