Yes, I think a large empire of an embattled humanity is implied. We are their King and representative of the Heavens. The old man in the Temple is saying that we will not abandon them, not just that god will not abandon them.

Edit: the monstrous enemy is probably our children.

I agree with your interpretation but I'm not sure we have enough information to draw solid conclusions yet. Probably by design.

Tomn posted:

Now, some folks are kinda pissed at Smythos here because "He's just sending us a bullshit prophecy dream, this isn't none of it real, why be scared by a random idiot?"

Question: Aside from feeling far more intense, how exactly does this dream differ from Smythos showing up and yelling "DO NOT HAVE CHILDREN BECAUSE IF YOU DO TERRIBLE PAIN AND DEVASTATION WILL ARISE!"?

Sure, this is probably not a true, exact prophecy of the future, but that doesn't matter - this is a very powerful Melachim's way of delivering a message of what he THINKS is going to happen in the future if we have children. In its essence, it's really not very different from any of us making an argument to do this or that - Smythos just has a much better home entertainment system to host his arguments from.

You may disagree with Smythos, of course. You may think he's overplaying the dangers, that we can certainly control the problems, that we can surely bring about a new golden age of peace and prosperity instead.

THAT is why he accuses us of thinking our wisdom greater than eternal children of El. We, Enkidel, barely out of our teens if at all, think our knowledge and judgement superior to those who probably made the world. We know better - of course we do. We are the protagonists, aren't we? Shouldn't these eternal creators deal with us as equals instead of superiors?

A vote for not sterilizing ourselves is essentially a vote saying "No, gently caress you, I'm right and you're wrong" to the Melachim. Certainly to Smythos, anyways. Now, that's not to say that Smythos is indubitably right or that we are indubitably wrong - who knows, perhaps everyone except us IS mistaken about the nature of the world. Just be aware that by arguing back, you'll essentially be flipping the bird to a lot of very powerful, long-lived deities who already think we're a dangerous loose cannon who should be taken out for the good of the world.

If you really, REALLY want to retain our ability to have kids, don't vote for not sterilizing ourselves. Vote for magical exile, or cyrosleep, or any other method that wouldn't make the Melachim fear what we will do next and what our children would do. Voting to stay on Ur and remain fertile is voting to get our teeth kicked in by very powerful beings who believe they're saving the world.

Personally, though, I'd already been convinced that sterilization is probably a good idea. This just confirms it. I'd like to see what Ish has to say before taking the plunge, though.

B: Go chat with Ishamal about the dream we just had.

If you're looking at matters as strictly physical, with no regard for functional similarity or understanding by analogy, maybe. Functionally, castration removes the testicles, the capacity to have biological children or have a traditional sex life, and alters the person's physiology. A vasectomy, properly performed, only removes the capacity to father biological children, which, we were told, was the sole effect of whatever Ishamal did.


Also, I didn't expect my idea to garner as much support as it has. It was kind of sarcastic, as I'm still trying to figure out how to fit Gough's Greatbow into our current, new, knowledge of ourselves and our place in the world.

M. Go with Snarls and Aaron to look for Danal, and signs of Paebel as well if doing so doesn't take us from tracking Danal.

Aaron cares about Danal almost as much as we do, and if something super weird has happened (like a Barkof abduction) he'll be able to either help us fight or get backup quickly.

We'll move much faster with Aaron and Snarls than with the Balls as well, and likely more efficiently as we utilize Aaron's knowledge of the landscape etc.

Team Enki/Snarls/Aaron to the rescue. It just makes sense. :colbert:

Remember how we accidentally made Snarls a Mighty Man's Best Friend?

Think about raising a giant, telepathic bird who thinks we are its mother.

Think also about how much it would add to our fame to own such a bird.

HBar posted:

Hatching the egg is really tempting, but how are we going to keep it fed? A grown Roc regularly eats cow-sized meals. If we let it go hunting near Zepath, it'll probably come back with someone else's livestock more often than not. We'll end up with a lot of furious farmers and a lot of silver wasted on settling disputes. Feeding it further afield would amount to a full-time job. And that's assuming Rocs are even trainable and that we know enough to keep one alive to adulthood.

For when it's young, we own cows.

Once it's old enough to hunt? Mancow season begins.

Just imagine it: a group of minotaurs stop as something blots out the sun. Suddenly, one of their number is snatched up by a giant bird. On it's back sits a giggling bearded giant and an excited giant dog.
