Drink the wine Enkidel. Also, if you have any eggs, eat the eggs. And the minotaur jerky. eta: Ishamal, I could see the entire battle in great detail from atop Tudiya's home. Danal could not see this. Is my eyesight abnormally good, or Danal's abnormally bad? I have always seen this way. eta2: Some theories. Mereniel continues to possibly be Marnal. Marnal is the Melachim of childbirth, healing, and mercy in general. Mereniel is a font of mercy according to Ishamal, and tears. Seems like healing and childbirth, yeah? Ishamal is older than Zepath and seems to come from a different type of divine origin than Tudiya or Danal. I think we might have a similar type of thing going on with ourselves. I think Ishamal might, in fact, be Enkidu. Or he knew him. Thus the "sad end" Enkidu came to. SerSpook fucked around with this message at 20:47 on Sep 19, 2013 |

"You seem to have such a fondness for smashing your head up, are you sure you don't wish to master that, Boy?" he says with a laugh. "I have no fondness to teach men to make war, if you are not happy with the Temple however, I've a friend or two who might train you." "I am happy with the temple, but a wise man must learn at many schools. I would appreciate you introducing me to any master willing to teach me, whether his chosen art be one of war or one of peace. Are any of these friends of yours, who might train me, here in the tavern? What can you tell me about them?" also, i vote: Drink the eggs! jazzyhattrick fucked around with this message at 22:16 on Sep 19, 2013 |

1 - A I also want to ask Ishamal what he knows of Asherah, either personally or if there's any legends he knows which correspond with him - seeing as he seems to always be an integral part of our dreams as well. And also ask the details of what was actually happening to us/him when he punched us to safety that time alpaca diseases fucked around with this message at 00:36 on Sep 20, 2013 |

maxhush posted:1 - A Actually, if we're going to ask anything about Asherah; I think the best thing we could ask is: "Was Asherah always dominated by hunger as he is now?" 1  obviously. He's saved our rear end a couple of times now and has earned a little leeway. If he hadn't been upfront about telling us what he wasn't telling us I'd have suggested a snarky comment about him just telling us we should be more careful and starting now by not drinking that until we know what it does, but since he was, just drink.I'm wondering if we should ask Ishamal what he thinks it good/best for a man to learn? Since he said he didn't like teaching people to fight I wonder if there is something he does like teaching. He probably prefers drinking and being awesome to teaching anything though...

 I don't think we'll get any useful information and we might make him think we still secretly worship Asherah/ try to perform Shushem's rituals. Especially since he just mentioned it.

Diogines posted:"They have them penned up near their temple. For training." No on the Asherah question. When people say Muriel are they referring to Mereniel, Xuriel or someone else? I think Dio answered as if people meant Mereniel when asking about Muriel. Also, I am ready to cut Bareen loose. We did not learn staff at the Temple. We learned from Ibiranu I think. Bareen is just going to want to use us for her own interests, which we may not understand, but we can simply have a bad feeling about her. I want to train with Ishamal's friend instead of the Temple.

We should stop keeping secrets and share what we know.SerSpook posted:
This. edit: Ishamal is basically all we could ever want in life. He is an old wizard who goes on adventures, parties with his bros and mentors the king/sits in for him. He is also middle of the road between the two powerful faiths in the city, Ishamal is the embodiment of everything we have attempted in this We should tell him everything. If we can't trust him then we can't trust ourselves. WhiteOutMouse fucked around with this message at 00:20 on Sep 20, 2013 |

"Hey Ishamal, have you ever met a god?" [Or whatever the lore-appropriate term is) I think the battle has thrown us a bit, a lot of our questions seem to be about death and belief, how long till we live, where will we go with our lives. I think some heavy drinking may be in order soon enough.

Diogines posted:"And do not try to mimic Shushem's rituals again" he says, raising a topic from 3 years past which he never mentioned to you again. "It is unwise." Diogines posted:"Climb the mountains, swim the seas, walk the deserts and spit in death's eye boy and perhaps you will be on a good start." Talking too much about Asherah/Shushem will make him think we're subversively still rooting for them. Voting not to.

Well, that seals it. The forest pavilion was Xuriel's place, obviously. I'm pretty sure Mereniel isn't the "god" of love except in the most roundabout way. It appears to be a thing that weeps for all the world. I'm suddenly glad we chose to be mortal - several divine beings seem to be miserable fucks. I also vote NO to asking about Asherah. All of Ishamal's advice has pointed firmly toward "don't poke at the fishgod" so far. He likely won't tell us anything that would lead us into dark places, and we'd only demonstrate unhealthy curiosity. Note that he likely knows about Asherah. He knows about Shushem, anf that we were trying to replicate the rituals he did, so he likely has the same insight as Tudiya does - which is odd, because he doesn't appear to have a particularly heavy dose of Labras. Won't Tudiya know about my dreams anyway, because he is king and the minds of men are open to him?

Voting closed on the Asherah questions with Ishamal. You do not ask him. I do not have time to write the rest of the update tonight, so I will tomorrow. Do you want to continue to fast forward time a year, two years(adulthood), or are there things you want to do before another time leap? You will get a chance to do things during the time skip, but it wont be as detailed as if you did it at a slower pace. ShotgunWillie posted:Is Muriel the Melachim of Love?
