Swedish Thaumocracy posted:"How did Tadam best the Hydra? We have one whose gaze can turn a man to stone to the (south?), did your Hydra have similar capabilities?"  "But Smattas warned him that the demons hide was impenetrable to all human weapons and so he would need all of his cunning to avenge his brother. So when Tadam found the terrible demon he challenged it to duel but when the heads all began to bite at him he said it was a cheat and dishonorable and that he only sought to fight Nehushtan, not its many lesser heads and it wished to know which of the heads was truly Nehushtan. Thus he mocked the heads goaded the heads them into fighting each other for each would insist that it alone was the true Nehushtan. And though no sword nor spear could pierce its hide, the jaws of its own heads could and aftered it severed one of its own heads, Tadam lifted the head up and its own jaws to slay the demon, and for this, the land that Tadmor was built upon was blessed."

1. C 2. Bring the kid to Baitel to save his ??? when he dies. Failing that bless him in the temple. Questions 1. Ask about the boats and how he managed to convince people to adopts boats. 2. Is he interested in yakchals? 3. Why does Judah think the biggest threat is fare and not asherah? 4. What was judah's reaction to our nephew and grandson staring? 5. Would there be a noticable improvement in the best smiths of tadmor if we took like a week to secretly teach them enmasse? 6. How appropriate would it be to bless judah and his generation of blooded people? 7. How much would it help tadmor if we handed over a substantial portion of the money mountain? 8. Have we seen any blooded bronze at all? 9. Can we ask auto pilot enkidel how he would ask judah about escorting grandpa for his Climb? 10. That one harmath prince that counseled his dad to retreat and lived is he still alive?

Diogines posted:Asking for more feedback. Do people want to ask this, either with the others present or alone? Ask him, but in private If I didn't already know who Gideon was and what he's up to OOC I'm 100% sure I would be deeply obsessed with learning more via having Enkidel ask about him. I don't think it's really super dangerous for us to ask in a private setting but even if I did that feels like using OOC knowledge about what the answer is to influence Enkidel. If I didn't already know I'd want Enkidel to ask, so even though I do know and don't need him to ask I still want him to.

C Don't: Namedrop demons. Do: Share any knowledge we think would be helpful in warding off demon cults and mountain demon armies. It's not a Great City and we're not here to scare them. They asked how to counter the mountain demons and they need to know. We should also warn them about fire cults as they're extremely dangerous but also easy to identify. We can avoid getting into details like the size of the demon armies and the scale of destruction they've wrought as those lean into doomsaying without being actionable.

Hm, from a few other replies I think it's just dawning on me that not everyone is on the same page about what Tudiya meant by his restrictions regarding the 'Great Cities'. I take Tudiya's request of us to mean that when it comes to talking about the demons, we're restricted to doing so only in the Great Cities, and even then only after getting permission from the clergy. I think some other people take Tudiya's restriction to mean that we're only allowed to talk about demons in the Great Cities after getting permission from the clergy, which is compatible with us being allowed to talk about demons freely anywhere that isn't a Great City. ???

My interpretation is that we are not supposed be walking around warning people that the demons are coming, and they need to prepare. We're not doing that here. We've been asked to give tactical and strategic advice about a threat the Tadmorans already know about. It's not the same thing, and we aren't forbidden from doing that, anymore than we were forbidden from telling King Jeter that demonic cultists had taken over Karnak.

Mr. Nemo posted:What do you know about Gideon?  "Yes, I know of him. What do you wish to know?" You have heard that the man has conquered many cities, is it true? What is the man like? You have heard other strange things as well. This is only the second time you have been in this part of the world, certainly the Crown Prince of the Great City of Tadmor can tell you more of him? "I know of the man. He overthrew the king of Chorazin, a city worthy of being burned to ashes if ever there was one then lead his soldiers to conquer... pretty much every city near him, and has spread out since. We are too far south for the long reach of the man to stretch here. He has brought the Jubilee back to many cities which have long defied it, after a fashion and he has put an end to serfdom... but he has also put an end to slavery entirely, his people mark their flesh and follow other strange ways. I imagine their kingdom will end in ruin eventually, even if he is a great warrior his sons cannot be in every place at once, it is the same lesson my own fathers have learned, a Blooded man may be powerful yet can only be one place at a time, a lessons that he and his sons will learn anew one day I imagine." Mr. Nemo posted:When did boats start to show up here? Polgas posted:Ask about the boats and how he managed to convince people to adopts boats. The... river monsters? "Yes, the kelrami. It took time to hunt them all down but one has not been seen in years." You ask him to tell you more about the river monsters. "Giant man eating fish that live in the mud at the bottom of rivers." Wait. You have killed a lot of monsters and faced demons, your people even hunt sea demons and you've never heard of these things. These... these are real. Actually real and not just... something you claimed were killed to convince your people? Some of the Balls of Labaras have found monsters in the interior, but in remote places, not in rivers near cities. The kelrami are real? "No, they are real. It is strange that you have not heard of them. Were real, anyway. None have been seen in years, we believe we have slain them all." You have heard of "kelrami" before but were certain they were a myth. Well apparently they DO exist after all, or at least did? Polgas posted:Is he interested in yakchals?

I was misreading this part: Diogines posted:Still, as the miles pass between you and him that feeling fades, though some where deep down inside you think you would know if he died? I guess we wouldn't know if we lost the ability to tell if he died, and it was just a hunch that we'd be able to in the first place. At least we haven't felt that he positively DID die...

Reuben name drop! Yay. Lmao, i wonder if some of them look similar now that they are grown. Besides the kelrami, does any monster trouble your people, or those nearby? We are a monster hunter, let's get working people. You mentioned visitors from Zepath beore, besides my son many years ago, anyone sticks out?/b] I imagine Enkidel knows ashael came through here when he went to baitel Did the hydra leave any children around?Trying to get info about his manhood trial. But last time Joram told us they don't do them, we have no real reason to specifically bring them up. Have you been to Baitel? Hve your children? Would you like us to carry anything to baitel? An object, a message, a person Have you been to the place where Gamzal stood? Are there any places nearby that are particularly interesting for men such as us? Ancient places, places where rumours of monsters abound, weird ruins, places with weird energy, etc [b]Beyond the bnaimokt, what's your main worry right now? I think Judah's right. Maybe Gideon should call it a day and settle a few cities, not an empire, otherwise he'll stretch his forces. They are probably weaker than Tadmor, and they only control 2 close by cities.

Leave the kid. I'd imagine being carried by Enkidel as luggage over days and weeks is terribly uncomfortable as Snarls obviously disliked it even with a customized carrier. This city seems safe enough to me, and safer than the donut territory ahead. malbogio fucked around with this message at 05:11 on Apr 14, 2021 |

1. Can judah give an overview of the final attack on the kelrami home base? Just to make sure the lore is accurate. And is he cool if we go there during our stay? For presence sense purposes. 2. Do the cities that broke away adhere to the tadmor standards like the jubilee? They also have very blooded people around the same age as judah? 3. Wait if the ocean is seen as a lesser threat does that mean the western portion of the donut isn't a wasteland like the south? 4. Did the river monsters trouble tadmor before boats became a thing? During the time of past kings? 5. What's your current big construction project?

If we are going to tell Judah about Bnaimokt, we can probably give specific information about the Footsoldiers and Skinpriests. The centipedes and Behemoths I am not sure about. Did we ever clarify if these are demons or just nasty beasts?
