Step one: punch a demon in the face while it meditates after talking over a Great City so hard that it explodes, but not before El sucks it safely out of range

Hang on, so we say 'we want to make a box that stop demon mind fuckery' and that's fine. But we can't say 'we want to make something else that prevents demon mind fuckery' and that's a hard no?

We can do it just after the Jubilee instead, giving them that much more time to train and for our skill to grow.

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

So what past event allowed Enkidel to learn how to craft anti mind magic into a box of bb?

Its clearly spirit spirit enkidel who managed it but when? How?

Is it something as simple as the gebeb chains we know how to make have numerous properties and one of them is anti mind magic and Enkidel is skilled enough of a smith to recreate it on a box of bb since he has enough smith levels to make it on chains?

Could we just make that tiny gebeb chain we know how to make and during a big fight wrap it around a tiny appendage or tentacle of the enemy boss and watch as about 100 debuffs go off at once?

Honestly? I would say yes, but it'll be a very long time before we're good enough to condense that much Anti-Demon into a small vessel like what you're describing.

Right now, we could make some big horkin chains that could neutralize demons at or below a certain power level, but even for small God of War sized chains, it's gonna be awhile before we can make them and make them effective.

If we do make a box, how are we going to show the demon off? We don't just want to show it to Batiel, we want to show it to all the Great cities on the way there. And having one as a captive doesn't actually help people see the demons as threats - if we've captured one surely it's not too dangerous right?

Every Strike, how long would it take to make such a box? I'm assuming we know the rough dimensions of the box, given our knowledge of sea monsters.

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


If we're going to bag the demon it needs to be a decades-long project where we build custom gear for everyone involved, not just the cage but weapons/armor/a custom demon whaling ship/anything and everything we can come up with to minimize casualties. Definitely not the kind of thing to do before the Jubilee, but afterwords I might be down to investigate the issue, especially if our crafting speed continues to increase from all the fundamentals training we hopefully continue to do.

Just come in extremely hot and sacrifice a demon and be throwing gold around and fight expressly for the Glory of El in the collosseum with Uriah as our partner and be talking about the invasions of the demons near Zepath every Jubilee. Just make ourselves extremely loud and unignorable. Make the king and the Temple actually deal with us as a serious player.

Except we've already been told not to talk about the invasions the way we did on our trip lest we be mistaken for a messenger of El , so that plan is kind of out.
