C. If those rooms are for people with wings, they're going to be the most interesting. And this might be our only chance before Uriah wakes up. Everything on the ground floor can wait.

We are climbing there. We are forbidden from flying. Uriah can easily reach the other floors.

I was thinking we'd be walking straight up with our sandals, which we're still keeping a secret. But yeah, if the other rooms are still easily reachable by mundane means then it's not as urgent.

The battle tower is still there wait

diog we didn’t lock the door. Can we stay close to the opening and check if the light is dimming?

I assume the holograms can’t leave the room, but don’t wanna risk TWO groundhogs leaving and attacking Uriah while he is unconscious.

But as I was saying, after looting we can still do the battle tower/climb the outsid(may requiere staying another night). Besides everyone knows there are useful items before each dungeon. Maybe we will find a sword with +5 against burrowing companies.

We're no Aish.

If only a few men ever made it to the actual top and that was back in a time closer to Zepath's founding, we should probably leave it be. For now. When we can travel the length of Ur in a month (or less) we'll probably be more ready to climb this thing.

We've earned some knowledge about Ur's past, we'll loot some trinkets from this place, and Uriah learned how to make us hit hard enough to damage barkstone. That's not too bad of a haul for a few hours exploring an ancient tower.

I would vote D but I think waiting for Uriah to wake up is prudent so he can get some reading in, just in case they actually do get confiscated.

If the loot is sent to Baitel for storage can Baitel/Church of El just take the stuff according to Urian law without asking?

Is the barkstone door slowly healing at all?

Unclear. There is no standard. If the House of El says they are supposed to have something, they just... declare it and take it? Who would possibly defy the will of the representatives of El upon Urth? Well, fools in the Donut, but besides them, no one else?

If you loot the place such that you send off a caravan worth, you are certainly going to hide it, if for no other reason than to ensure no one founds out where you got the goods from. The locals of Carine would be upset if you loot "their" temple and the House of El probably won't be happy for just... a bunch of reasons?

if we make the inscription it’s p funny to think later on down the road someone else comes along and pieces all this together. then they get to the second room and it’s two gophers and think that Enkidel was a massive wuss.

Unrelated to the current situation but has Enkidel ever asked Tudiya when the tradition of kings not wanting to be kings started given that Zepa really wanted to be one?

Did Zepa want to be King?
Or did he just want to go Galt and have his own patch of land to do what he wanted without other bastards griefing him about it?

I mean, why Tudiya and others not wanting to be King is pretty obvious: Generally speaking, if you're the King, then you have to stay home to do King stuff. You can't go out and be a badass and kill monsters and bathe yourself in the glory of El because you're too busy arbitrating a dispute over who owes who a cow.

Zepa not tiring of life and having to be talked into giving up his kingship when people like Tudiya would have done that a long time ago given the same context is the biggest evidence that Zepa wanted to be one. Aside from his huge statue proclaiming his kingship.

Back in Zepa's day, being King was probably a lot closer to being worshipped than it is now.

You know what guys, I just had a very grim thought.

We know that the pact with Zepa is such that the guys from Baitel would never impugn upon Zepa's claim without permission. What if by breaking this irreplaceable wall in probably the oldest and most important building in one of Ur's greatest cities, we just broke a deal between Carine and the PTB in a similar fashion that will have massive repercussions that end with us living like Tweety Bird from now on?
