Option A is at the Dawn of Time, so, it does not really give anything away to say it is not human, there not being any yet.
Option B starts in the world, after man already exists, but says nothing of what you are picking, only where and when.

That being said, I'm going with B anyway.

Wake Barkof

Regardless of Danal's physical size, his maturity clearly reflects his actual age (~5 years old). Encouraging the king's 5-year-old son to venture off into danger is incredibly irresponsible, and at 11 we'll probably be expected to know that.

Unless infant adventuring is a normal Labarasian stage of development or something.

Just a reminder for the guys voting H, this is what it means according to Azzael. I know the guy is our friend, but he has one hell of a mischevious streak, it might mean that we jerked off a goat or something.

I know this doesn't necessarily mean anything, but that is at least the translation of the Hebrew, which most of the language in this game is derived from. Also I'm pretty sure we heard Tudiya say it(?)

e - and with that thought, i'm gonna go with H.

Scratch that, I'm going with B. We should tacitly acknowledge our friend but move on to the temple until our sacrifice is done. H is climatic, and we haven't built up to it properly yet :D

A: Tell him, and tell him in detail. After pledging to Zepa's monument, we've found that Snarls can convey his intentions and emotions to us, his delights or fears, his trust or mistrust of others. He doesn't speak to us so much as we can sense what he feels.

^ Voting for this ^ - I think playing this off as a joke will be suspicious as hell. I'd prefer we hadn't told him at all, but there's no point in playing coy at this point, and the direct truth doesn't suggest demon possession or whatever.

Serspook's argument is pretty good, but isn't it a bit contradictory with mine? The temple is the safest spot to be, unless I'm right and it's the epicenter of a giant bomb?

I figure it's possible there's something under the temple that'll damage the city. My desire to see the hypothetical basement vault was greater than my concern that it might contain a firebomb of some kind. I knew mentioning danger to the city would get Aaron to help.

What I'm trying to say is that I think there's a difference between "Lying" and "Being manipulative to self-serving ends while possibly also saving the city."


Basically this for me. I still think it's pretty unlikely, and would like to be certain. I'm also very curious what's down there and knew what would get Aaron to help me, but our statement would have passed a truth-test.

e - new quote fits my position better

Y'all remember Eyescream? Big ol' screaming unholy horror screeching with the mouths of the damned and seeking nothing more than our delicious, tasty flesh so as to add our voice to his chorus of agony?

He didn't feel the least bit evil. Oh, he was SCARY, sure, but he was a giant screaming tentacle blob headed dead at us - that'd be pretty scary even if he was a stone statue we saw upon rounding a corner. He was a giant, horrible, powerful monster, but aside from being huge and terrifying to look at he didn't cause any other sense or emotion.

Remember though, that was some time ago. Our Detect Magic skill might have developed more recently.

This has already been answered :v:

Diogines posted:

You ask. Aaron thinks of it for a moment. Then he says "If, if you can get them there discreetly, yes. But be certain that you tell none what you saw here, Dannal will surely pester you, you cannot tell him what has happened here. In fact if you wish to bring Naomi and your mother, tell them to join you there shortly after so that you are not all seen entering at the same time. You cannot tell them what you have seen here, nor can you let any in the temple think anymore has occurred then the fight that they know about. If you think you can be discreet, then yes, I leave it in your hands."

No to offensive questions.

1)B - No more questions - the King has spoken. The man burns.

2)C - It is very important right now, after this huge embaressment for Super-Dad, that we support his judgements. His own son, who is very noticeable given his height and exotic skin tone, needs to show the king's own family isn't divided on his judgement. As much as we may not want to, we need to join in on the stoning, for Tudiya's sake. Just showing up isn't enough - we need to be throwing stones too.

3)G - just punishments - interfering further makes Tudiya look weak; as if his city in turmoil isn't enough his own family can't be in turmoil too.

4)K - can you say "Royal Wedding"?! *squeal*

This is my vote.

I'm not changing my vote, but why are we even shooting a dude who's about to kill himself. So we can burn him alive instead?

Unless there's something else going on and our built-in senses are reacting with bullet-time. Maybe he's trying to sacrifice himself to the demons, to possibly catastrophic effect?
