E. I want to see more SimCity, but the first two options probably aren't going to survive between the demons and the immediate consequences of whatever Og just did.

Asahel, no reload. We already had a reload and it was the lowest point of the entire game.

Catching up on the thread right now, I just got past the part where you all wasted an extremely rare magic arrow on an unremarkable giant monster, irrecoverably botched the trip into the mountains, let down the Balls, and indebted yourselves to an egotistic rear end in a top hat with implied godlike powers, all at the same time.

>>(This one is just for diog) The jubilee haa been quite a serious affair. Can you tell a good joke? I know you usually xan but this one is under pressure.
You ask Ishamal to tell you a joke.

Ishamal says "A Traveler walks into a tavern and orders a drink. He does not know anyone there and so he buys a cup of wine and tries join the conversation. Yet when he does so, none of those in the tavern are telling stories ot drink. Yet one of them shouts out "157!" and all the men in the tavern suddenly burst into laughter. Another man shouts out "12!" They all laugh greatly, some of them even laughing so hard they cry and fall from their chairs."









The traveler asks the slave at the counter serving drinks "What is it that occurs here? Why do they laugh at such nonsense?"

And the slave says "These men have come into this tavern for so long that they have all told the same and jokes so many times that all have heard them and so now, they just call them by numbers."

The Traveler considers this and then raises his cup to the room and declares "48."

No one laughs.

Confused, the Traveler looks back to the slave at the counter and says "Did you not say-"

The slave looks to the Traveler and says "Yes, but you didn't tell it right."

Is that a terrible metaphor for something? In which case I don't understand.

G

We've gotten a few hints that trade is a nobler profession among the Kadmonim than in Ur, so it's likely there's a merchant or something with high enough status to vouch for us for the evening. They'd certainly be more open to dealing with stone men than clan elders or hierophants would. Even if we have no such luck, since we're already in the markets we can still find a use for all the silver weighing us down.

I know you're joking but with what we learned about Enkidu's heritage this trip the goat people might be the best chance we have to get this question answered.

K. Look at how effective the city kings and the House of El have been against the machinations of Nusku. If Karnak's little suzerainty is going to be turned back to the path of righteousness, it'll have to be done from the bottom up.

I'm going to be the sole voice of reason here and vote DPR. In any gamebook worthy of the name, as soon as you open the cage, that lady will flash a cruel sneer and suddenly attack you, either drawing a poisoned weapon or morphing into a foul monster. The Damsel in Distress only ever serves as a deadly trap for the foolhardy adventurer. And the brassiere is obviously cursed, leave it alone.

Perform the Friendship Dance. It was already a bad idea to just enter through the front door when we know that the House of El is compromised here, probably alongside the king and his Mighty Men. The only way this idiotic strategy is going to bear fruit is if we abandon all sense and go all in, expecting a miracle.

Tell him briefly about how we first met the Nusku cultists, show him the gem, have Hoshana testify. While she has the king occupied, hone in more on the Presence, if such a thing is possible.

F. I'm still mad that we majored in bows instead of javelins just because some guy kept posting that Dark Souls screenshot. We used javelins all the time in Athar, but had never used a bow before, so there was no synergy and it was completely out of character. And then we learned at Tanaach that throwing was 1000x better than bows. Now's our chance to make up for that mistake.

e: Just remembered that Team Superbow also ended up causing that Chait fiasco, so now we can't even use the weapon that we foolishly specialized unless we want the entire city of Kavodel to be leveled by a vengeful muscleman.

CE. The absolute power of the High King was undoubtedly Nusku's greatest weapon here, but also what allowed the realm to rally and recover as quickly as it did. If only that power could have been wielded by the helpless against the hairless...

It'd be convenient if we could pick up a holy superweapon while we were here, since that's the entire reason we went on this trip, but anything that helps would be appreciated. I don't have any specific ideas, but we could definitely use something that can help connect Zepath to back to the rest of Ur, since the cities in our periphery are getting sequentially destroyed every Jubilee.

You can gently caress this up massively and arrive at Chorazin seriously crippled or deformed and instead of a promising young man, a broken one committing to a doomed cause you try to die for something worthwhile.

This would be a gripping narrative. And it would teach the Scholar/Spear/Smattas crew a lesson. I'm down, let's head to the ocean and find ourselves a bigger, crankier turtle.
