Hey welcome dude. Were you catching up from the beginning? El-drat if so

I cheated a little bit. The OP links to a recap that took me from Athar up to the end of the Gebek trip and I started there. Still took me a few weeks to catch up.

Is it worth going back for the non-recap version of events or am I solid?

I don't think I'm ever going to care enough to skim the other posts, but I'll probably go back and read all of Diog's. I've read every one post-recap, so why not?

Anyway, Weigh our blooded bronze sword, ask it to fly like an arrow then fire it from a bow.

Am I playing the game right yet?

I am impressed with anyone who catches up at this point! Welcome! You should be good if you read the recap and then read since there.

Yes. You are.

My compliments to the capybaras on such an interesting and immersive setting. And of course the writing and delivery of information.

And maps. El, I love maps. Please don't look at my eu4 playtime.

Speaking of all this height stuff, how many beds did Enkidel go through when he was still growing? I imagine he grew more than anyone expected, so it's not like they had a 10' bed just lying around for him.

Zb. The five men rescuing their own families get two chips each. You don't ask any questions what they do with those, but they surely have people they know who they wish to protect beyond their families. Be up front with the Lieutenant about this later, and that it was done to make sure that squad morale isn't shattered going forward.

In light of that I'll change my vote to Zb. The five men rescuing their own families get two chips each. You don't ask any questions what they do with those, but they surely have people they know who they wish to protect beyond their families.

Yeah, I (and I'm interpreting most people voting similarly) am playing Damuzi as more of a "my people" type person than a "no slaves ever" type person. Big difference.

If it were Accoans being rounded up, (my idea of) Damuzi wouldn't give a poo poo.

C. Go to the neighborhood where you grew up. You know who there are actually Gezerans and who are just poor. There are some households there that can pay the tax though most won't be able to. Use your superior knowledge of the neighborhood to help your squad try to get a leg up on the other soldiers.

This is the one in second place. It's also "get some slaves" but maybe not as much.

I'm not sure where the "so many people are voting to end slavery" idea is coming from.

There's no reason to believe the king doesn't sanction this 100%

Witnesses refers to telling the commoners. They probably don't want a rumor about this place going around.

Arrowheads are generally made of stone. You have seen some copper, bronze and even iron arrowheads in the hands of Bareen's seasoned monster hunters, but they are more of a specialty good and more expensive, commissioned from smiths as needed.

If this guy gets one good hit in at close range we're finished.

But if we wound him with thrown spears first, we lessen the chances of that. That's my reasoning anyway. Once he's weakened, we should have an easier time with the sword.

I definitely don't like our chances with the spear. The "rich guy" or whatever was probably way better with a spear than us, and look how that turned out for him. This brute is trained for fighting spearmen.

I kinda agree with both of you, but my point is mostly that trying to play Damuzi as if he were Enkidel is dumb and thus far I'm glad what's winning out so far is playing him like a different person with different experiences and a different mentality.
