We need to learn kingly stuff, basic education like reading and writing and then some fighting.
2. B. Faith in El seems to be giving some pretty badass powers to the mighty men so he has to be real.

I thought "it" was refering to the chair. As in do not leave the chair behind as you go home, and don't go to the battle.

The chair must be more important that it seems. He really wants us to take it home, away from these merchants and possible invading monsters.

Maybe once we get it home we should sit on it real quick? Not going to linger on it with poo poo going down, just a quick test to be sure it still works after the trip. If it has fancy magical properties maybe our butt will be able to sit without getting sore to match our sandals.

His attention was obviously shifted pretty drat fast and he instantly commanded us to return home with the chair. "It" must be something more important that requires his chair in his household. "It" could be some sort of divine entity from where he draws his power. We must find "it"

C with a touch of D. We have been given a duty. We don't actually know how important it is or not in terms of random furniture, but it is clear we have been given a duty and Danal's safety is at the center of that. We can get as high in the King's home as possible in order to watch approaches and perhaps observe the battle. Tell Danal we need the height, here, in order to rain down destruction on anything that dares to approach the palace. We are the last line of defense. It will be hard, but we can do it.

No city walls. No leaving the palace. This is really important. We genuinely care for Danal and Tudiya. Putting Danal in harms way, fighting or even potentially fighting Minotaurs at age eight is a bad idea. Even if successful it will serve to distract the men actually defending the city. Danal needs to understand that staying here is an honorable, if difficult thing.

This thing.

Order Danal to stay. Explain that we should see how the battle turns out. If our mighty men wipe the floor with them then we can begin to go closer to see the end of the slaughter. Taking a few household guards with us if possible.
If everything goes to poo poo then we should head to the river and get a raft.

After extensive and back breaking research into the subject i have found out that eating Spawn's heart a) might give us power b) is delicious.
Grabbing a horn from a beast we didn't kill ourselves will be a) a useless trophy b) a waste of a grand opportunity.

Eating the heart is the right thing to do.

I have plotted out a solid strategy for eating the heart and having the horns as well.
We head over and stand upon the corpse looking as badass as we can. Then we take our spear/sword that we grabbed on our way there if we find it, and cut open the beast's belly tossing the innards aside untill we reach the heart. We grab it tightly and cut the arteries.

Then we stand up, and raise the heart to the sky, silently bring it to our mouth and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AacImm1SHTg

When we are done the youngsters must surely be staring at us confused. We tell them to get lost, we are taking the beasts horns. Otherwise they will be next.


If we have to explain anything then: "El is in our hearts. We must find out what who is in their hearts so we can eradicate all other heathen religions" etc..

Guys you all need to realize that the best course of action is to become a huge buff cannibal axe viking who eats demon/monster hearts for power.

A vote for axe is a vote for prosperty. That way we are guaranteed drinking buddy status with Ishamal. Its even good for the economy.

We take nothing. Simply say to him "You once said that a heart filled with El is greater than any sword, and mightier than any dragon. So that is what I will take with me." And tell Snarls to keep Danal safe.

Edited: from M to L as Sogol suggested for easier counting.

Are we true El worshippers now? Because if I'm not mistaken the last vote turned out "Well, I'm not sure what I believe in really. I believe in El yes, but I'm not a die hard worshipper, still trying to figure things out."

Sogol raised a very good point in that what we take with us will be with us for the test. And the story seems to indicate that we will wander the wild for a while like Labaras. Bring Snarls with us, with him in our party our intelligence doubles. And what is better to take into a rite that may potentially define us as men? A piece of flint and stone, or man's best friend, man's most loyal companion, someone who would die for us.

We don't seem to be. I didn't really know what i wanted to vote for since all this religious babble is pretty confusing but i don't see why we couldn't become true El worshippers. This could be the perfect occasion for a test of faith. And it really doesn't spoil it to take Snarls with us. I really don't have a strong opinion on what to pick here so i left it kind of neutral.

Since we're out here in the wilderness with nobody to eavesdrop on our conversation but Snarls and El, I want to be blunt with Tudiya and ask him what he would consider a reasonable bride price for the hand of his daughter.

This but we should really phrase the question differently because "can i marry your daughter" is blunt and dumb and we should show more respect to the king.

:siren:SHUT UP ABOUT THE loving SANDALS ALREADY GODDAMN:siren:

Look at you squabbling over something so unimportant that it shouldn't really have been mentioned at all. They just stay on and we don't talk about them because they are shoes and we forget about them entirely now.

Now back to the important stuff: Should we devour the hearts of every animal we kill or just the monsters and demons?

If we meet people on out in the wild should we kill them and eat their hearts or take them as a slave to test out poisonous berries and plants?

Do we start walking back after 3 weeks so that we arrive in Zepath after a month or do we finish the whole month and then start walking home? I never got this.

edit: I think we should take off our sandals and gently caress them in front of the king. He may know of them but I don't think he knows the full extent to which we could use them to cheat on our test of manhood. If we do this then we don't have to tell him but he gets to exercise his judgment anyway. It's a win-win. Please Dio, a minivote here.

While dio withdraws and prepares for a double update tomorrow i want to make a suggestion on how we can take the manhood forest test as purely and heroically as possible.

We've already concluded that hair and nails are not a living part of us but for puritys sake i suggest that we also leave behind all parasites, viruses active or inactive. All foreign bacteria that isn't created from our dna.
That means we nees to leave our mouth and nose parts. We need to sterilize our skin and rip out our GI tract.

As a matter of fact our cells aren't us
Theyre just cheap copies made to keep us alive so lets just loving dissipate and take the test as a ghostly essence of Og

For maximum heroism. For purity.
