In our head at least, it should sound like this:

El, all-knowing, seeing all
El, All-father, towering tall,
Tall from heaven, giants' home
O'er the land his giants roam
Roam and seek what is not right
Seek and smite with righteous might!
Smattas smites and thunder throws!
From firm Labaras Baitel grows!
Marnal forges bolts of flame,
Heals the harmed and lifts the lame.
Monsters lurk around us, hid,
So upon our knees we bid:
Aid us El! All-seeing king!
Save us from the harm that rings
Us round and round, O Sky Giants, hear!
Find us in our hour drear!
Find and aid as El would will!
From atop your heav'nly hill!
Aid us all, as El would will!

(Several edits later: I couldn't find any solid info on Maranal so I didn't include him)
(Several posts and an edit later than that: I'm dumb! MaranalMarnal now included!

Yea, really jumping the gun, people. Wait.

My response to Danal: "Dogs seem like play-things for little children. I will see your dogs, but I will to mature to do as men do, not as children. A thing of value cast to dogs is a waste for they will devour it. I will not cast my efforts to dogs, but to men and women, young and old."

Voters, we've gotten an honorable hair-cutting and naming from the king of Zepath and you want to squander away with animal-keeping? There will be a reason we are set apart from the sons of Tudiya: not because we are weak and childlike, because we are meek and mature.

Meekness is the control of power, not the absence of power.

YES. Changing my vote to

Also, consider that the king may have used his powers to summon the lizard to test us or Danal.

Actually, yeah, I'm going to try something here that might also involve throwing lightning.



Changed from RRO.

We will pray to Smattas and Marnal, for there (highlighted for chuckles) protection against these beasts, and we have faith that it will work. These two both involve lightning and thunder, and we can't go bugging El with everything.

HBar posted:

If El is listening, he already heard us. Now in our panic we scream out to Smattas and Marnal and then everyone else we can think of.

According to your mother's stories, Smattas and Marnal are prone to rescuing children and damsels in distress from a great variety of dangers.

Nope, gently caress you Asherah tooth. If we gotta have something from this pantheon, let's get a claw of Smis or something.

B

Here's my reasoning:

Og is a kid who is cold and tired and wants to go home. He could have given up. In fact, it would have been the right thing to do, as far as I care. Yet he kept walking. Through the rain, through the tears, through the sweat, through the blood, through everything a world could throw at him.

Because a true hero does not quit before hardship.

Og is the one who fell from the sky, but Enkidel is the one who rose. And even if Og can't make a step forward, ENKIDEL CAN!

E: Danal, Enkidel. Lets start our own adventures and stories!

1. Plan Sogol This is perfect, and I agree that it seems entirely in line with having worked to adjust Danal's attitudes. Also, if we get involved with Naomi there's a chance we'll end up tied to the city and be unable to go exploring. A vote for Plan Sogol is a vote to have cool adventurers instead of being a dad.

2. Ishamal He seems to fill a similar role of helping to dissuade the king of foolishness and should be able to provide some excellent advice on how to let Naomi down gently. I want to go with B too; our best bud Tudiya deserves to hear from us about the situation and how we resolved it.

SerSpook posted:

I suppose a Bard could be thought of as a combination Paladin and Rogue, what with the buffs and tales of valor and heroism, while still picking pockets, fighting dirty when necessary, and so forth.

E: Just like B but guard Danal as we can.

Sogol posted:

A. Caught up in the moment,

But recovering:

F say: I cannot stop you from going, but I promised your father so I cannot go. I ask that you stay here with me as a friend. I know it is hard. It is hard for me too, but I ask this of you as a brother and a friend. What say you?

And look to see if anything else is occurring at the edges of the field and other directions.

We are one of the Long-eared then, dread slayers of feasts, wine, and girl's hearts. I wish to say this in response to Ishamal's comment.
