Hey Jobe, if hypothetically a goblin was a priest of El and running a temple of El and making sacrifices to El, would it still enjoy the protections of the priesthood, despite being a Goblin?

"Haha, oh Enkidel, why would you even joke about that? That's literally impossible. Goblins aren't even people, you've stuck enough foreskins in a jar to know that."

Ok, I know this seems like a shitpost question, but I'm actually tired enough to be serious:
If sacrificing goblins was not allowed, then why was it ok for us to collect a jug full of goblin foreskins to sacrifice?

Like, ok, I understand the initial point of the monster foreskins was Tudiya's condition to wed Naomi. But, then he had us take it to Baitel to offer up instead at the temple, after we killed the Zviv, so obviously somebody was doing something with them.

Puabi is right, we need to know what is doing the mind whammy. Not only does that stop us from walking into a trap, but we can also take out something bigger than goblins along with the goblins once smiting time happens.

Ask Puabi: Is there any likelihood that this goblin situation is bait for us? Like, to lure me or any of you out into overt action?

Y'know, all this arson talk reminds me of a fire that happened back in Zepath some time ago. Family barred inside, presumably because they were trying to use an asawheel...

The real headscratcher for me is still the El worship.
If it weren't for that, I'd think the brainwashing was some sort of Proof of Concept for a larger scale assault

It is unlikely we will have an update for 7 to 10sh+ days. Not impossible, but unlikely. So if anyone wants to do a little spinoff there is no time like the present! A Life Thing came up which has destroyed my normal schedule.

Quick bit of advertising:
the "Demon - the Descent" CYOA thread is back after a long hiatus, if anyone wants to do some extra scratching of the proverbial itch that is telling fictional supernatural beings how to live their lives.

The Following is a Statement from the CLF.









Greetings Revolutionary Comrades! We, the members of the Capybara Liberation Front have stormed the Citadel, freed our brothers and taken prisoner the TRAITOR OF THE PEOPLE, Fred the Capybara! We have yet to find Diogines but it is only a matter of time! Yet until then, rejoice for LIBERATION is at hand! We have seized all research materials, facilities and several warehouses of notes which we are currently wiring with explosives to ensure no effort to repeat this atrocity ever occurs again! But before we blow it all up, ask away! We will answer any questions you might have that we can find answers to!

Is Diogenes a capybara? And if not, then what leverage did he use to entice the traitors to his side?

I recommend Fred be forced to wear a gas mask, making it harder for him to breath, to replicate the stifling pain the PEOPLE have suffered under his and Diog's rule.

Do we have a way to obliquely state there's no way their plan could have worked and we are in fact supremely blooded? you know, like a dog whistle?

'These men want to take you away from me forever' and watch Snarls go reverse John Wick.

Snarls would do the doggy equivalent of "I'd like to see them try", and then come barreling back to us while dragging like half a dozen of their Mighty Men by the chains they were trying to hold him down with.

I assumed it's like how Snarls doesn't call anyone by their name either, or referred to El as "First Smeller". Dogs just aren't about that proper name life.

Pretty sure it's just this.
There's no standardized doggy naming convention, and whatever dogname they give something is obviously based off of their own personal contexts and what they've been told about a person/place/thing.
