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. This is the way to do it, I'd say. Don't forget to feast. and feast. AND EAT. -just barely- under a recognizably divine level. Just a rad dude, doing rad things. like EATING.

I'd rather devote this huge chunk of time to buffing our dudes with better leadership and equipment before we go about making grand plans. This plan is the equivalent of playing a Bioware RPG and skipping right to the siege fight without getting all of the possible upgrades for your troops and fortifications and such. If we do go forward with plan "Mobile Sea World but the Sea is Just Demons", I think it is much more likely to succeed and do so more spectacularly if we up our quality and quantity Ball Training and smithing output and outfit at least every ball in full BBRONZE Panoply before enacting it. Our dudes are more likely to succeed in grabbing the demon and keeping it under lock and key for the trip. The guys staying home are better able to defend the place with a smaller garrison. The quality of the cage and such is more likely withstand the nasty critter. Plus when they arrive in Baitel, the whole El drat crew will be decked out in Obviously High End Gear for the procession, even more so if the Demon Snatcher Crew gets crazy nice matching engraved stuff. If we're doing this, we do it right, and we go Full Enkidel. "Oh hi Officer! Nice to be in Baitel again. We're here on a pilgrimage from the coast. Wife shopping, see the Temple, old folks dying in the mountainside and whatnot. These 18 super-elite warriors in gleaming holy armor carrying blessed weapons of yore? Honor guard. Plus they're keeping an eye on this incredibly conspicuous giant metal cube which serves as the mobile prison of a horrible demon from the depths of the sea. Present for El. *kicks box which then rattles violently*. Oh boy he sure is mad! Well, not for long he's not. Off to the Temple!"

Would we know about imbuing weapons with electricity? Having become, y'know, deeply and intimately acquainted with such weaponry in the past. Could be super handy against the fishies, electric arrows, lightning strikes from afar with a dedicated FishKiller weapon we potentially make in the future..

The most Enkidel weapon we could make would be weaponized curiosity. Everystrike, is it possible to make a Blooded Bronze hoop that we frisbee over something's noggin, which then shrinks down around it's neck and places it into time dilation wherein it experiences every permutation of every question that can be concieved by us in every language we know? It shall be...  The Inquisitorc!

we simply march the demon to the slopes of the holy mountain, and everyone who asks what the gently caress we think we're doing we tell them the truth: that we've captured a live demon and are bringing it to El directly for sacrifice.

pumpinglemma posted:We're not going to be mistaken for a messenger from El in Baitel, though. They have people stronger and more blooded than us. The issue is in places further towards the interior than Acco and Dor - not quite the donut, but still places where we could beat their king in single combat using only our pinky finger. That's not necessarily true. Baitel and its surrounding Great Cities could easily be shaken up if we presented them with a monster that is beyond their expected capability and experience and then insisted that what we brought was merely the weakest they could expect to contend with if the ocean pressed further inward with a dedicated attack. We would come with proof that entire cities have not only been conquered but also poisoned, besieged, and taken over as outposts in an initial offensive. And with warning that horrors the size of mountains would follow in the wake of things the likes of which we bring to show: gibbering masses that grow stronger with the deaths of their compatriots; demons that can cause entire towns-worth of mighty defenders to fall dead and lifeless without even coming near enough for them to fight back; horrors that appear to be repelled by El's Will, but only temporarily before swelling forth like a massive inexorable tide. We brought a minotaur once with a message of pride for ourself and Zepath. We will next bring a monstrosity along with a message that it's fearsome abilities, much as the minotaur compared to it, are nothing compared to what is coming. And that what follows may itself be a shadow compared to what will come next. A heart full of El protects and preserves. But El will not save those who simply wait for rescue and do nothing to prepare. *The method itself is cowardly and disgraceful, though A Terrible Person fucked around with this message at 02:21 on Sep 25, 2020 |

That message is probably too much to be allowed. We'd definitely get rebuked by the church for it. But I really do enjoy the image of Enkidel rolling up with a giant mystery box that howls in anger if you slap the sides.

They would never do that. Instead he'll show up and explain that it's really for the best of everyone if we chose to get in and lock the door behind us, or bad things (which we can't tell you about) will happen to people we care about.

Lanky Coconut Tree posted:They would never do that. Frankly, they have to have gotten smarter at this point. Enkidel will be about to make the final strike on completing *whatever* when Jael shows Pup and says he has something to offer relevant to our work but can't say what. Enkidel gives chase for hours, Jael apologetically answers that he was forced, forced to offer us failure. Our ten year project, meanwhile, turns to poo poo because we didn't follow the rituals exactly. Enkidel still produces a mastercraft whatever, but it lacks any supernatural buffs. We are oblivious as to how this honors El.

A lot of our el gear has zero presence right? Maybe we can create a bb box without presence as some sort of bootleg laurels. It won't work for Enkidel but when the balls go on hunting trips Uriah and the heavy hitters can hide inside so the eventual encounter rating will be lower and not only will casualties be lower but the demon they are fighting might be weak enough to capture and they just dump it inside the box. Invent an upper caste of immortal beings that are regularly entombed. Polgas fucked around with this message at 08:18 on Sep 25, 2020 |
