Voting:

OPTION U Tell Jalitha and Danal to run. Tell them to get away from the monsters but stay by camp if you have time.

OPTION Z Something else. Write in. Yell for SuperKing's help to get the warriors attention and hopefully some assistance from him or at least some warriors.

OPTION F Throw your spear at the first monster to get in range. You're goof at fishing, you may not hit him, but you're probably not going to do any good head to head with one of those things. It'd be best if you can at least look brave and heroic until someone can help. If no one comes right away though, we better run while releasing our bowels as a kind of slick trail, hopefully tripping the lizards if they follow us.

Just because their champion has been humiliatingly beaten, doesn't mean it's safe. As great as it would be to get out there, we should try to get Danal to move to the wall with us, but not without grabbing a shield, just in case our eagle eyes spot a stray projectile heading out way. If the Minotaurs get pushed back though, I think it may be safe for us to take a look at finding a nice trophy from that large minotaur or another that is close to the wall.

Voting on not eating that heart. After they took you away from your cannibal tribe, do you really think they won't frown upon this? I mean, it's a a Minotaur, but it's one letter off from MANotaur and they will totally flip poo poo on you and think you'll eat anything dead in front of you.

I think we should approach the fight and get Danal to tell the people fighting that these horns belong to his father, if you take this trophy from him he will be VERY mad when he gets back. If this works and those kids scatter, we can talk to Tudiya about letting Danal and I share those horns... That is, is he's not furious at US for leaving his home...

We love that dog, maybe as much as our own mother, but we saw our own 'father' decapitated and that didn't even really get to us. I'm gonna say we'd be at a level 5 sadness with doggy loss.

As for that drink,
1. E Take a drink and give some to Snarls.

Azzaz wants info on Ishamal? Fine, 2. D, We'll tell him, but not where he is. I'm worried something bad may happen if we tell him where he's staying, or maybe even hiding. But not without something in return! Personally I think we need to do this trial as much alone as we can, I'd like Azzaz to give us A+B and that Goard he had beside him to use for later, depending on if he gives us a fancier one with the water deal. Really I wouldn't want to have something fancy that we couldn't make ourselves, so Tudiya doesn't think we went to a village for help. K The flint would be easy to add to the barter as well. Snarls should be able to help us hunt once we get into the woods, so the sooner we get there the better chance we'll have of surviving. So for my last request I'd like to see if Azzaz will do Q, teleport us to the edge of the forest that Snarls has told us is the closest area with water.

F. You accept. You fear for Snarls well being.

I. You accept. You don't care if accepting his help is within the rules or spirit of the rules of your trial, but you don't think you will be caught.
J. Accept or decline, with a different motivation. Fill in.


2. After having spent more time with him, you decided to accept Azzazel's offer to help you. You ask him for...(Only if you picked to accept help in #1 above) (Pick as many as you wish)

X. ...AND I want to go to Azzazel's place and party for a month!
Y. A clear, no nonsense answer to a specific question, fill in.
Z. Something else. Fill in.


3. Optional. If you voted to not take his help, do you have a plan to survive the next 2 or 3 days, or for Snarls to survive? If so, please share it.

1. A We need to do this as legit as possible, don't want to piss off the Tood Dude. However, 2. K + L I want a gourd or two with enough water to get us and snarls to the forest. It'll suck, but we can survive if we put our will to it, that's part of the test, anyways.

I also want to get some contact info from Azzaz and see if he wants us to deliver a message to Ishamel.

It's a little convenient that we found Azzaz right at the beginning of our trial, not too far from where Tudiya dropped us off. There's got to be a little suspicion that he's working with Tudiya on this. I think the water wouldn't be against the trial, we did 'save' him afterall, but any more material help from him may be way out of the guidelines.

6. That tail and skull. See if the third eye is salvageable. I know we have no experience with skinning anything at all, but I'd like to think we can cut that skin for a large enough patch for at least a small pouch, nothing fancy, but something we could tie up with a thinner piece of leather to hold onto a few small objects we find on the way. If the goat has horns take those to try and scrape out an ok knife with a sharp rock.

Azzazel is a fallen angel, aka the thing devils are made of :siren:

Snarls isn't psychically talking to us. We're tired, lost our weapon and camp, and just got attacked by an Elder God. Azzazel is trying to trick us into failing our test when we're at our most vulnerable. Mt. Har is where El and the Melachim live, and also where the souls of the dead reside. Call it paradise, if you will, and Azzazel got kicked out of it. We don't want to owe this guy a favor, ever, and that includes asking him for transportation or asking him to heal our dog. (Dio said Snarls will probably heal on his own anyway).


Goats are usually associated with devils, btw :siren: Azzazz was probably cast down. He is most likely here as temptation to break us. Snarls only has a Sprain, he will get better over a little time, if needed we can carry him for a little while.

Yet looking back on it, it seems clear you have never been false towards me. You gave Snarls food and water as I trekked to the monument of Zepa's. You gave us drink when we fled a true monster. You know Ishamal, a man that has saved my life, and appear kindly disposed towards him. You I am proud to call friend and my mistrust of you was wrongly placed.

Same here.

Hey when we get done with everything here, can we not sacrifice the Jackal eye, I mean we already gave the meat to El and he was very pleased by that. How about instead we see if a Jeweler or smith can lacquer/seal it in some way so we can make a brace or hole through it to wear as a necklace? I think that would look pretty sweet and be a nice little trophy until we get to fight another bigger monster, preferably with less eyes than the abomination, and smaller too.

I don't think Tudiya would go for that, especially since Diog said that the pearls we got were probably worth just a few cattle, I think he would want more than 28 pearls.... so like, twice as many should do the trick, unless we get an employee discount.
