Can't wait for the rest of the re-cap, I've forgotten A LOT of stuff that happened towards the end of the Enkidel story because things got really hectic and somewhat crazy, especially with the reboot. v--- No rush, just stating I'm excited for them, you've done a really good job and even the areas you didn't delve into really jogged my memory on stuff. This story is also awesome and I'm glad I will now have a chance to participate in it! MF_James fucked around with this message at 19:11 on Jul 26, 2016 |

In fact, the well blooded just assume that Enkidel is like them. Ish knew really quick Enkidel wasn't just the average blooded man. Not to mention Ishamal having abilities that are not the standard blooded man powers. I mean, freezing time when Enkidel went to his house late that night after returning from the Great Toad hunt? That's Melachim level powers. I was going to say something similar. He has knowledge and also has the ability to actually affect our [???], this seems like a fairly clear indication that ish is also a bit more than just human/blooded.

Lead out in cuffs posted:I'm pretty sure that at the higher level, there is a Heroes of Might and Magic/Erfworld style hex-based strategy game which the capybaras are simulating. Beings of a certain level become aware of this game, and can participate. Ownership sense is one facet of that. It's one of many things I love about this setting. I believe Diog said at some point that he drew at least some of the world from the game Dominions, which is a hex based strategy game. For example, Ur, is a playable nation in the game that is a human type nation. The Doom of Tenaach looks somewhat similar to a *god that a sea based nation can select (although there are other monsters is resembles as well, I mention the god due to the power/abilities that this thing apparently had). There are other similarities, although where they actually begin/end is tough to tell since Diog is only loosely pulling from the game, and the game doesn't have a story-line or anything like that, merely descriptions that god with nations/units that tell stories. *each nation has a pretender god that is attempting to take over the world and ascend to being The One True God.

So, in all honesty (this is likely an unpopular opinion but...) we should take the weapons and leave whomever behind that we have to. These weapons are going to be special, you know how we've run into monsters/demons/gods/whatever that are immune to our standard weaponry? I'm going to guess that there's not thousands of walking "GAME OVER" monsters that are 100% unkillable, but likely they are unkillable by standard weaponry, even blooded bronze, we need some magical/god infused stuff to hurt these things. If we can save a few people? Sure I guess let's take them, but let's not do so if it's going to kill us and everyone with us again. I feel this theory is sound based on lore and such that Diog is pulling from, often times heroes are given special weaponry because their enemies are impenetrable by normal means. "stasis" is a poor (dumb) choice and as others have said, we'll never come back here, we need immediate gratification (so to speak). We need stuff that makes us stronger NOW, not stuff for 30 years from now; we might be dead by then, eriously fighting a war instead of sitting around until we get attacked again, or any number of other things that will prevent us from coming back to save people frozen in time. *edit* Also, I see a few people arguing that a few weapons for us and our Balls will have no affect. The strongest of our people (Tudiya etc) can slaw monsters by the hundreds if not thousands in a battle on their own. One of a kind artifacts created in the forge of the gods will be stronger than any weapon that we could ever make, do you not think that we will slay dumb monsters by the thousands with them? What about when we fight their generals, or the thing that killed us in the most recent reboot? The weapons we could gain from this would likely give us power well beyond what we have and allow us to smite very terrifying demons.

Waci posted:Have you read the last couple of pages that's like... Probably the most popular option based on this pre-vote discussion. Well, I'm all for leaving these suckers to their fate, I guess I didn't actually say that, but that's what i was planning on typing out and then I changed it. Leave these suckers to get eaten/whatever, we need to get our precious magic stones and make magic super weapons. Magic super weapons mean we can kill the things that would otherwise kill us. I'm also somewhat basing my theory off of the Dominions game that Diog said he at least pull some stuff from, I'm unsure if he only pulled lore or also some gameplay type things, but certain monsters/whatever can only be hurt by magic weapons, they are immune to standard weaponry, but like I said, this also has a basis is standard mythology and fantasy stories.

Also, now that we have killed a shitload of giants and blown up some stuff, we might have alerted other people, or in 10 days when the one giant comes back (10 days might be wrong but whatever), he will realize some poo poo went down and raise an alarm which, despite having a headstart, we don't know what kind of abilities they have or who they are friends with and could call on to capture us.

We also wont accidentally wander into 7bird, seeing as we know where it lives and that we should not go there. 7bird is not the only thing out there, all the other things we do not know about are the issue, or hell, even the things we do know about, the loving 1000' long snake thing that the Balls ran from years ago. Snarls can't protect us from everything, I'm pretty sure the mind warping, ethereal/invincible, human eating monster gave no fucks and hid perfectly. Will we run into that specific monster again? Probably not. Is it likely we can run into something else? Yes. MF_James fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Aug 1, 2016 |

Also, I believe that you are placing too much stock in Tudiya caring about saving the peoples. I forget what he told us we should do, but I don't think it was "kill a town of giants and bring their slaves home". Not that he forbade it, but I don't think he will care which we do in the long run, provided we don't just straight up slaughter the people for no reason.

Mr. Nemo posted:What can the giants gleam from reading their minds? Please explain the sequence of events that lead to the giants destroying Zepath. I'm not being ironic or anything, I just don't get it. We haven't spoken about Zepath, only El. El (from the information we've gathered) does not seem to be universally accepted as God, he is simply a god (and that's somewhat up for debate since speaking with Amok, since El is merely a word for god in the old language), and as such is only worshipped (from what we know so far) in Ur. These giants worship Fake Amok as god and other species we've run into worship Ashera and others.

nothing to seehere posted:On the other hand, a decent amount of the donut fear Tudyia and his new House of Zepath. They'd not strike against him, but if they heard Zepath (or a Zepathian) was aiding Tadmor? They'd probably lend aid to Tadmor's enemies, or even join the fight themselves. Which, of course, we don't want to happen. I agree. I would think if we want to reach out to any other nations/city-states or whatever you call them, we should consult with Tudiya. Yes, I know goons hate yielding to authority and blah blah we're a punk rock kid, dad you can't tell me I have to be home at 10pm, I'm going to stay out late, drink and smoke pot if I want. Tudiya is our Father and our King, let's not potentially drag him into a war because we've got teenage angst and like to rebel against authority.

Arkanomen posted:On our prep side, Kavodel has something most cities do not. Kavodel is a mining town. Why waste time building a somewhat meaningless barrier when you can reinforce dug holes and tunnels. We should start using removed material to build a fortification around a cliff side mine and start to build tunnels and safe points so any invading army has to fight past a fortified wall and then proceed into savagely tight and defended tunnels. Tunnels we fill with the stored grain and materials we have been saving for times of hardship. What about when the bnaimokt come through the ground right into our tunnels? They seem fully capable of ?magically? creating tunnels that they can then march across land from, what if they can do that directly into our mine tunnels?

He pauses and then says So was our life by the sea actually a person farm like what we saw in giant land? Blood magic is apparently all over, it seems that demons/other races are down with blood magic and therefore farm people. The smaller bnaimokt invasion forces that stole people, was that to start farms up?

Facebook Aunt posted:Maybe we could use our town's mining expertise to make basements? Fallout shelters? We should be able to make underground spaces that won't be easily collapsed. Several separate shelters, so even if one is breached only a portion of the population is exposed. Heck, in the most dire circumstances mighty dudes could deliberately collapse buildings over the entrances to the shelters, to make it impossible for any incursion to quickly abduct those within. When the battle is over our Mighty dudes can easily dig them out. If we lose the battle, the women and children within are probably better off dying in a hole than being taken by demons. Now this is an idea, build shelters with entrances every X amount of streets or something, and people from X area around shelter go there if they are not Fighting MEN
