HiHo ChiRho posted:The club is 4 feet and heavy. I don't think Snarls can keep a good enough grip to hold onto it due to it's size and weight. I am confirming this to be the case. RandomPauI posted:Diog 4 days north, maybe the river that flows west from Zepath if you are lucky? It could be further north. You know of none south. If Snarls was not in pain you might be able to ask him, but he is no condition to smell for it.

1B. 2X Drop the stick. We can replace it easily. If the critter still gains we can ditch/sacrifice the other stuff. It can be replaced. Dogs and souls are much harder to replace. We should try to get out of this without selling either.

How tired are we? If we drop the club, snatch up snarls, how long can we run? Long enough to get well into the scrub?

In that case BX. It still looks like we have a chance of out running this thing. If we sacrifice the pearls now it means that all we've done so far has pretty much been for nothing. I also don't know how well it will reflect on us if we have to beg El or the Melachim to intercede directly. We were warned that this could happen when we went to the sea, and sure enough it did. We got ourselves in this mess so I feel we really need to do all we can to get ourselves out of it.

B X Snarls can't be that heavy. 20-30 kgs maybe? I know the hugest of dogs can get up and over 60kg but snarls wasn't ever that big. We are over 2 meters tall and going by previous descriptions, pretty buff. We can carry him and still go fast. edit: accidentally voted E X but changed it. Making a note just in case.

1. D 2. X Everything is replaceable but Snarls and our offerings, and our offerings aren't important enough to risk him. Drop everything. From here on out the Road Runner is our personal hero; let's Mee-Meep-Zip-Bang the hell out of here! (Oh no I'm really starting to get worried about Snarls now!  )

RandomPauI posted:Diog Hard. It is a thick, four foot tree branch with spikes on one end and you need a full hand to carry it. You could, but it will slow you down and unbalance you. If you trip while carrying it and Snarls and either of you fall on it... well, lets not think about it?

We can't kill another beast, but we can't replace Snarls. Drop the club, carry Snarls. Maybe we'll get lucky and we can find it again We don't necessarily have to go to the alter empty handed. We could still make a contract with El swearing that we will slay the demon. How does this read? "El. Through your grace you delivered me from temptation in the desert. With your strength I slew a monster in the form of a jackal. But I ran from the demon at the shore. And I failed to return with a bounty from the oceans. I will return to complete the task in your name. But I must ask your patience until I have the means to do so."

We can also tell El to suck on a healthy dick. At this rate we're going to be offering him the corpse of our beloved dog.

Just sayin' that all the difference between your vote and mine (besides suiting up which I'm going to change) is the choice of using our sacrificing stuff now instead of in Zepath. If smashing the skull and the pearls can give us an extra edge in getting help, why not go all the way now?

If we get out of this alive, I think it is a safe bet that we will pull a Tudiya and just lay our head onto the altar and pledge our life to El. I guess technically this is: F & T

Guys, I'd like to point out that we have never run as fast as we can in this sequence. We were outrunning it while we were doing like a 5/10 or whatever the ultimate outcome of that vote was. Snarls will encumber us a bit, but I think we will still be able to outrun Eyescream with him and dropping the club. We can likely endure longer too, since it's of the ocean and it's not in the ocean.

Lanky Coconut Tree posted:Diog: How far exactly have we run from the beach? You are a few hundred meters from the edge of the treeline, west of you. You cannot see the monster, it is somewhere behind you, close enough you can hear it screaming and uprooting trees, but far enough that you cannot see it, possibly as close as a few hundred meters, maybe a mile? It is coming after you and intends to do horrible things to you when it gets there.

FoxTerrier posted:Alright, the tree thing is a lot like what happened last time we fled Asherian wrath with Tudiya (although perhaps a bit more intense--great). But it's still basically par for the course. We just gotta keep moven' inland as fast as we can. I've been thinking about this, and it's making me wonder if Tudiya's seen Snappy the eldrich horror before. Not because he ran. But because he seemed to know when we were safe to stop running. I kinda hope so. It'll make our pearl diving story that much better. E: Though, part of me wants to re-tell the story to Tudiya as if this thing was a childhood pet that happened to turn.

Alsom what if after this is done we went back to Anthar, and assuming uncle Jorah is still around we make a deal. You guys collect as many of those worthless pearls for us, and we'll give you all these shiny magic knives and some four legged hairbeasts. Win win.

We have a lead. We can afford to get dressed so we can carry Snarls. If we make it to the scrubland we'll likely be in Azzazel's domain (since he claims the wastelands). We'll probably be able to get his attention. What we'll do with his attention after is another question; he may want more than we're really willing to pay to deal with that monster. But the scrubland is a pretty sure bet, even without Azzazel's help. 1. E. 2. x.

Right, then. Voting 1. B, 2. X We MIGHT have time to get dressed, and it could indeed be a good long-term investment since it allows us to run faster (with fewer worries about dropping stuff, for that matter), but right at the moment that means we're going to be closer to the monster and his tree-throwing shenanigans. We can get dressed once we hit the scrublands, can see how far away we are exactly from the beast, and don't have to worry about poo poo getting thrown at us. But yeah, ultimately we haven't really been giving this thing our legs yet. Time to push it to the limit! Also voting that we tell Snarls it's going to be all right. Poor little guy is terrified, he could use some reassurance and the act of reassuring someone else could help calm us down, too.

Guys, why are you voting to drop the spiked club. Surely the better option is to lob that thing at Eyescream and hope the spikes manage to pierce some of its eyes. The thing is a third the size of our city and we're a ridiculously tall and muscular guy with hypersensitive vision and hearing. I'm sure we'll manage to hit something and do at least some damage. It's not like throwing the club will take that much more time compared to just dropping it, and if we're going to abandon it anyway we might as well try to get at least some use out of it. 1V. Smash all the smashable offerings on a consecrated rock, then pull a Tudiya and offer a lifetime service to El. Then mutter a short prayer and lob the spiked club at the Eldritch abomination's eyes.
