How about we send our priest to make a tribute? He should be allowed in.

Jobe would probably be allowed in. He is a member of the House of El, albeit an acolyte.

It is not up to them. It is up to the King of Efrat, who built a wall a hundred and fifty feet and several acres long as a giant gently caress you to his foes hiding within.

Well, there's nothing to lose by giving a sacrifice to El and I'd like to hear what Jobs has to say about the place.
Since we are stopping for supplies it shouldn't delay us much.

I'd like Enkidel to spend his time in Efrat barhopping and telling tales about the untamed frontiers while trying to get as much gossip about the walled temple and Amos' descendants as possible.

You know what I'm thinking? One of my goals while in Baitel is talking with the clergy there, seeing if we can get authorization to read the records stored in all temples. If this can be made into an official order of some kind, not merely an authorization, then preventing us from entering the temple may be considered interfering with temple business. Alternately, the authorization may be enough, making us some kind of honorary clergy? Hrm. Very tempting, yes.

At the very least we should try to lead a large group of priests from Beit-El to Effrat and try to negotiate the removal of the wall.
King Amos seems peaceful and honorable enough to swear to remain on the temple grounds.

3. K - I surrender the rings in my beard
4. N - I keep Ishamal's ring hidden

I want to play this straight - if we can't trust these dudes with our property, we'll have bigger problems than that shortly. As for Ishamal's ring, they asked us to remove our ornaments and jewelry. We are not wearing the ring, and its purpose is not adornment, but a safety net, and I don't think it falls under their request.

I wan to tell this guy, I will not be like those Worthless men that think by simply gaining a fine weapon, and learning to use it, I can become truly Mighty. I will learn the Art on my own, for this, and many others.

I thank you for the experience of firing this weapon and the conversation. It was enlightening.

However, I will buy one of your arrows, to remind me of this, and so that I might know when my skill begins to equal the weapon you would entrust me with. One that day I will return if you have not climbed the Mountain.


I don't buy that this bow is the shortcut people want it to be. I want us to use our money when we get back to take some time to seriously train our archery and learn to make bows with Chait, if he is willing to teach it. Or Ishamal, if he will teach such a thing. It is about time we chose our own Mighty Art, and I think this is a good place to start. We can also learn blacksmithing at the same time.

tl;dr: i think that a cooler possibility is using our cash to become a dude that can make sweet bows ourselves, and other things. we can take our cash and become the true master archer that we are meant to be

then we can move on to uber club

Do you think the sculptor of this masterpiece had never stood in awe of another's work? The giants who came before us didn't build the world so that we could live in their shadows. They did it so we could stand on their shoulders.

Alright, how about this plan:
1. Warn the farmers, they don't deserve to be taken by surprise.
2. Watch from afar to see if the army attacks ibleam, gets bribed by the king or heads straight for zapath.
3. Accordingly either help ibleam or harass the army with guerrilla tactics on the way to zapath.
