Is there any food in the tower, or did we bring any? Whatever this is is apt to be hungry, and that's the best way to make friends
. Maybe lay out some different foods/pieces of wood/things lying around to see if it wants to eat any of them.

We should be able to utilize our experience of being around/raising animals for decades here.

The need for mercy here outweighs the need to avoid destruction. And if we’re mercy killing it we should afford it a chance to communicate first to make sure we have not misread the situation.

I’d be wary of offending its owner, but if this creature is a Snarls-alike then its owner is dead or it wouldn’t be chained like this.

Any Old Tales about heathen idols made out of red cedar being reused/carved into something else in service to El?

Do the piles of idols look arranged like say flowers or get well cards you bring someone sick? All idols looking towards the chained creature?

A, then sacrifice it to El.

If it communicates with us it will be bound by the same convenient secrecy as literally everything else we've talked to, or it's language won't quite be understandable, or it will run away, etc.

Just kill it and get powerups from El.

We wouldn't have, because we hadn't even considered the possibility. Now you've mentioned it and hosed us all.

So this is the creature that animates the enemies on the battle tower I think, with the idols being for different rooms and quality matching power. Among the bsd quality idols, do we see a groundhog like the one we killed?

You see many idols of groundhogs, rabbits and mixes thereof.

You have never heard of or seen one prior to entering this building. To you, it looks like some kind of burrowing animal you've never heard of before.

Your stupendous memory relies upon information that you have and you are not able to count every single item on the shelves at a quick look. There are long rows of shelves with many hundreds, thousands of idols and other pieces of groundhog-rabbit themed art.

Polgas posted:

No. However, you well know that profane idols are among the most desirable offerings to El, possibly second only to the actual corpses of demons?

Polgas posted:

Enkidel is not familiar with bringing cards or flowers to sick people so has no frame of reference for that. Most of the idols face out from the shelf, but not directly at the chained statue. The shelves extend all the way to the edge of the tower, so they go well past the statue.

You have food. You also found some here, though you have not eaten any.

Electrum's a really weird choice for chain material, way too soft and easy to break. Maybe the chains aren't there to physically restrain it?

Any theories on what they actually are? I can't immediately think of any strong metals that have a silverish-gold color. I guess they could be magical bullshit with no Earth parallel.

Before we climbed there were heartbeats on the upper floors, they seem to have disappeared once we went up. But we haven't bothered investigating because eh, too much effort.

We need Uriay to awaken so he can yell about how drat stupid we are to be ignoring the beings that LIVE in here.

Edit:

U- "Hold on Enkidel, you heard heartbeats on the upper floors?"

E - "That's correct!"

U- "And you found fresh food in here?"

E - "Correct again!"

U - "And you spend the last few hours doing what exactly? (While leaving me completely defenseless may I add)"

E - "This thing embiggens things!"

U - "..."

You saw some fruit and bread on some of the tables on the grandest of the dining areas downstairs and more than one place which looked like it was storing sealed bottles of a liquid near a kitchen, maybe wine?

As noted in the updates describing your initial exploration, everything is neat and tidy and it looks almost as if this place was still inhabited but it's occupanrst were just... gone. Nothing is out of place.
