pumpinglemma posted:Per Diog, we're already regularly sending short reports back, so I think it would be more weird not to mention it. The benefit of wording our report clearly is the possibility that he sends back "HOLY poo poo BRING 2 ME NOW" or "4 THE LOVE OF EL DROP IT AND RUN" or "DETOUR 2 BAITEL 2 MAKE SPEAR" or any of the other things someone who actually knows what this thing is might want to tell us. Do you want the trip to end early, be diverted, or to lose this gryphon claw? Those don't seem like benefits at all. We want to visit the grasslands and keep looking for cool poo poo. Why take actions to stop doing that early? I really don't see what the actual positive outcome for telling Tudiya that "we did that thing we told you we were doing and you endorsed" is, or why it could be a good use of time or clock cycles.

Olothreutes posted:If we want to ask anyone just hope that Amos is willing to answer questions because he was probably alive when the Celaphot was. While asking Amos is definitely a good idea and we should ask him about it if we meet him, I'm not anticipating much. Guy either is going to be ignorant of a lot of stuff given how long he's been behind temple walls, beholden to a mystical NDA like most other incredibly old and powerful people, or just flat out cagey and elusive with answers. I anticipate many, "Who but only El truly knows?" Zodiac5000 posted:We weren't given this to use it as a bartering chip. We were given it to specifically use it to kill demons, so we shouldn't treat this like it's a commodity we can just trade away, even for blue stones. That king was a cool dude for giving us this, let's not immediately start eyeing this up to give away. I think we should stop trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory here by poking the bear. I'm not even saying we SHOULD trade it away though? All I'm suggesting is asking to see if Tudiya is aware of it and knows anything about it, to be prepared in the potential situation where someone in the Kadmonim lands wants it for something. That really isn't too ridiculous of a thing to ask, I feel? Trying to find out the true worth of an item, given our perpetual ignorance of such things? Our goal for this entire mission is to find out valuable information from the Kadmonim lands to present to Tudiya. I doubt they're just going to offer it up to us on a silver platter, given our outsider status. While the claw is cool, I also doubt Tudiya will be all that pleased if the best we come back with is a single claw. NOT considering needing to part with it for the potential of something of possible great importance seems like willfully sticking one's head in the sand to me. If it meant the continued survival of our corner of Ur, you're trying to tell me you'd not give up the claw because "That king was a cool dude" and he told us to kill demons with it? There's actively trying to trade away the claw (not what I'm doing) and trying to find out the true worth of an item prior to any potential situation where we may be asked to part with it (what I'm suggesting).

I love how we just got a literally ancient artifact *from a demon's body* that has now demonstrated some previously unseen powers (with who knows what other secrets) and people are really out here trying to pretend that it's not worth investigating further *at no time cost to our trip*

Sorry, what's the issue here? We're already sending regular messages back, why not just tack a 'For Tudiya and Ish: Got a Celaphot claw, has strange properties, any advice?' message on top? Won't add any real time to the messages we're already sending back, gives Ish and Tudiya a chance to respond on the off chance they actually have some relevant, important info, and otherwise has no cost/makes no difference. Full debrief waits until we get back, per the usual. Doesn't that make everyone happy?

Dr Subterfuge posted:lowpriorityasktudiyaifrecordpalusumcelaphotclaw Maybe swap to "lowpriorityasktudiyaifpalusumcelaphotclawinrecord"? As long as we aren't actually going into detail on things or asking for specific details back. I have concerns about spending capybara clock cycles on a long-form SMS interrogation by Tudiya when we could just keep going on our adventure and have said interrogation in person when we return.

You send word to Tudiya to ask if he has heard of a "celaphot", spawn of Ogar. A short time later a messenger delivers his response to Snarls which is "no". [...] Also, voting is closed. Diogines fucked around with this message at 22:25 on Sep 18, 2018 |

Stupid Solomon. You don't kill demons with a spear, you shoot them with a big arrow from a massive bow, then you finish them off with a good solid whack from a club.

If you picture Solomon as Labaras and Ur as a world cut off from its former gate, it fits into the K6BD universe extremely well.

What was the reason we ended up specialising in the club rather than the spear like everyone else? Did we know we were stronger than a Mighty Man at that point? Ed: I figure we didn't, as we were leaning into the bow really hard at that point as well to leverage our superior eyesight to compensate for our lack of Mighty Strength.
