A, C, J Swimming is fun, and we want to be able to see monsters coming. We'll only be here for one day anyway - no point wasting time walking back and forth too much. When we reach the river, we can try to find a permanent, safe campsite.

I think that "Thank you" are the word's he's looking for. Though if we could be eloquent and fit a "sorry" into there, that would be good as well.

DarkCrawler posted:I kind of missed this though, is "Grigori" just another name for the "Melachim"? There are Melachim, Ophanim, and Grigori. An Ophan is a lesser 'angel'. A Melach is a greater 'angel'. I forget if Grigori is a catchall term for all angels, or a specific subset of 'angels'. El is the God who orders the Angels to do things. Presumably certain angels have or had specific duty, like Azzazel may have been in charge of hooved mammals, and came to particularly like goats and seems to have given up on his other duties. From the name of the thread, I assume that demons are fallen angels. Edit: Diog clarified things below. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Dec 21, 2013 |

J is the best option. Or the least stupid. We may be Mighty Men, but this is seriously a dumb fight to get involved in. Not sure who we should shoot, I'm leaning toward either: a) Nobody, unless they try to attack us. c) Everyone, who gives a poo poo. Put an arrow in Bareen's back, and one into Tudiya's chest. Survivor is clearly the more favored. The other option I like is C, escaping into the courtyard. Though I'd prefer to stay in the Temple and watch the fight. Besides, we want to be around when Bareen wins and teleports us all to a better, less lovely city. Tsyni posted:K - Fall to our knees, draw our knife, cut deeply into our hand, and beckon Asherah will all of our mental energy. This is a more fun option than the other ones.

Angry. Because we still can't get any loving answers (A Terrible Person made a great point about our father). Confused. How much of what Bareen just told us is true? She made a lot of good points and answered a lot of questions. But she's also a heretic.

If we're doing dot-counting, the totals for Small Purple Dots and Lesser Red & Dark Blue dots are equal. There are 17 lesser Heroes fighting for Bareen, and 15 lesser Heroes fighting for El. Team El has the disadvantage of being a little bit split up. But that could turn into an advantage if we become like a hammer & anvil. I'd say it's an overall balance, though the NW corner is definitely a fight that could turn ugly for El-worshipers. Common men only matter in that they can get in the way. In addition, Bareen has herself and Jesbaam, who count for extra. However, Team El has Tudiya, Rimush, and ourself, who all count for extra. Do these balance out? Time will tell. Ishmael & Barkoff are wildcards. Either or both could show up through the hole or break down the gate or make another hole in the wall. Edit: accidentally counted Paebel as a Hero. Also, I don't think numbers necessarily matter much in this fight. Speleothing fucked around with this message at 05:33 on Dec 24, 2013 |

 We know the Kadmonim are herders, and that they worship Ishat, the Sun.

I'm thinking that the four options for starting location were not concurrent. If we'd chosen Baitel or Kadmonim we would be playing a game several centuries, or even millenia, earlier than the current game. And those two seem to have been phrased to be separated by a couple decades. Carine could have been concurrent with this game, but would be happening on the other side of the grasslands, close to the East coast instead of the West. Edit: I guess what I'm saying is that the Kadmonim used to worship Ishtar, the Sun, but their religion may have become modified over generations to include parts of the El-cult mythology, even if just as a 'heresy' that originates from Baitel. And also the opposite, that the centralized religion of Baitel may have taken the name of their ally's chief god and made it into an Angel, whereas the savages' chief god has become a demon.

Jesbaam is severely outnumbered by both Adventurers and Mighty Men, and will soon either be killed or otherwise subdued without our help. We have more interesting things to do. In particular, Crudus makes an excellent point about needing to see the Bareen showdown if we want to really learn anything from it. Voting I, we try to get a good vantage point, but preferably don't interfere, or only shoot to wound if things go against our allies.

I. I am confused but want to figure it out and think it is important. Enkidel has seen a lot of stuff and talked to a lot of beings that clearly neither Tudiya nor Bareen has. He wants to believe in the Orthodox faith, but it's honestly all pretty confusing to him. Edit: vvv Clearly, the truth is that I Believe In Asherah, and doing so is the Right Thing. But it seems pretty unlikely that Enk hasn't been largely brainwashed by the El-cult vvv Speleothing fucked around with this message at 18:41 on Dec 26, 2013 |
