C We better go on a crazy adventure with Danal before we get to Zepath and slam dunk it too, cause if we're slated to be fishers by the time we get there, no more adventures for Enkidel. We must impress the king with our (fledgling) adventuring skills!

Edit: changed my vote. If Enkidel says anything out-loud: "By Your will alone: guide us, we pray. So be it." (And "guide" could mean anything from where to go, what to do, how to do it or not to do anything at all. This prayer is to the Creator.) quote:"Creator, You are great. I am made low. You are great before I can even be, let alone be made low. Your ways are beyond our ways. May Your will be done here as it is where You are. Praise You, for You deign to limit and define Yourself to allow us attempts at understanding You. We fail, for You are limitless, yet we try still. You granted us just as much true free will as You have fate, which live together without confliction. Any by this we can know that life is here for a reason and is important. Hear my prayer, oh Creator and let my cry come unto You. This day we have our lives within the grasp of beasts who mean to end life. You have given us the ability to defend ourselves, but there are yet things beyond our strength, which is nothing to Your power. There is purpose to us living. Protect our lives, not for our own profit, but for Your honor and glory. If we don't praise You, something will, the rocks will cry out if they must. May it be that we live this day to Your honor. May we be the ones who praise You. Guide us, we pray. OhYo fucked around with this message at 19:27 on Jun 13, 2013 |

EXAKT Science posted:We've been told several times at this point that Asherah doesn't heed prayers. If we're going to survive this, it really seems like we need some sort of divine aid. If El is going to send angels to help us, it's going to be now, so we might as well go all true-believer and see what happens. Be warned: a non-response from El/The Creator does not indicate their in-existence.

Edit: I don't really care one way or another if we happen to pray for protection from demons/monsters. A. K. This is what I wanted to vote. Others have voted for it, but it is still what I would have wanted to vote. :Þ quote:"Hear my prayer, oh Creator, and let my cry come unto You. Against You only, have I done evil. Judge me, oh Creator, by Your righteousness according to Your loving-kindness. Grant me mercy from what I deserve and grace that I do not deserve. Only by Your hand does good come.

 Do NOT wake up. Do NOT succumb to this illusion either. Voting to become LUCID. If Enkidel becomes lucid, he will not only stay in this dreamworld, but become it's master. As long as we're lucid, we will have a better handle on waking up if we must. If there is something in Enkidel's subconscious he needs to learn, this is a great opportunity. Do NOT let it slip! E: Changed vote, posted. I guess we are lucid enough as it is. OhYo fucked around with this message at 17:13 on Jun 19, 2013 |

Algid posted:We're already lucid. Changing vote to I.  say: "I love you, daddy." I read a news article years back of a 2-year-old girl whose last attempts at communicating something to her mom was "I love you, mommy" prior to the mother beating the girl to death. I think this is quite possibly the most piercing thing Enkidel could say to Shushem, even if it's the Shushem in his subconscious. OhYo fucked around with this message at 17:14 on Jun 19, 2013 |

B. Willing to mention: 1. whales and every anthropomorphized being Enkidel "saw" plus this guy: 2. 3. All the insects and birds of this noisy forest have gone silent, as well as other creatures, when Ishamal's light was fading after the incident. 4. More distant and the chorus of the birds and insects seems a bit quieter while Enkidel was exploring the forest. Above all: TELL THE TRUTH!

B. When lessons are learned early, they're easy to swallow. Show Danal it's good to be flexible and maybe he wont grow up with a "I'm the prince, so nyea!" pompous attitude. Also, C seems a little "too soon."

CUSTOM OPTION E Start to walk back to the camp with Danal while he carries the monkey, with them in front. Sneak away from them and head back to the music alone. You are the HERO! This way, if you scream for help, you know Danal will hear it and get the adults faster.  F. If we're the cultured savage or beast-boy into civilized world, let the king's son play with animals.

Tomn posted:Speak a prayer to the Sky Gods (was it El? I forget) asking him for guidance. If no answer is forthcoming, attempt to communicate with the statue. "I deserve not greatness of my own from you or from these items if they can, but if blessings come to me, may it be a blessing of wisdom, that I may serve others in counsel. A curse against me would be shame, and pray to avoid this for your glory, not my own."

Before you continue: Start with a prayer to El in guidance and wisdom. Try touching/picking-up/testing all the items, one by one. Touch only the miniature winged-humanoid statue (not the lizard one) or talk to it to see if it will wake up. D. You want to experiment further with the other treasure, specify which. If we're keeping anything, let's stay consistent with the color. We have a white flute, let's wear the white sandals and take the white cup. Do not put on the sandals until we're off of this sacred ground. Wake Danal and let him pick of one color. (If we end up going back, TELL THEM E.) L. no need to hide. Just wear what you can. The statues of the angel-like thing and the lizard are breathing? They might be the rightful owners of this collection or maybe balance in conscience. They may be in dormancy for a reason. Waking them may cause them to bring more light to the situation, but may complicate things. I'm okay with waking the angel-like one if possible.

1.K.Make it legal or if it syncs up with other votes, K+G: merging asking/arguing, mixing subjectivity with legalism. 2.Q music, but without getting drunk. Add O and pray to El about it too if it does not conflict. If neither works, I'd ask Tudiya with B, but that might be just my opinion.

 Q. Be an advisor to Danal if that doesn't conflict. I'm cool with converting the Atharites to El too.B. Ask Tudiya about slavendom. Get a straight answer from the top.Ask: "What am I, in the city of Zepath, when I reach manhood?" not "Am I a slave?" cause we don't want to give anyone the idea. Maybe say "I respect you and wish well for Danal in his future and to serve Zepath wisely with important matters."

1CFG Tudiya, Zebanetha, Ishamal, be kingly, preistly and find out why Ishamal is trusted to do kingly duties and goes off for a weeks without warning. 2B El. 3B El. 4C If I had to pick one, Marnal, but it may not be best to pick favorites when they all represent good things. 5A We're a Zapathan now, may as well accept it. 6G Hold her on the chin and look her close in the eyes: "Heart first..." press Naomi's heart with the tip of your pointer finger "...then lips follow." Play hard to get and she will want more. Join Snarls Barkley and Danal and give her occasional knowing looks. Diogines posted:You know that Barkof commands the Mighty Men of Zepath, a position any man can claim by besting the previous commander, or winning a tournament should the previous commander fall in battle.

1: A. I want our relationship to grow, but slowly. I will keep spending time with her and hope things ... work for the best. :3 (Being like a brother to someone doesn't mean you're family to the rest of their relatives.  )2: C. I want to talk to another person in my life for guidance. Who? Zebanetha, the high priest. If we have time, we could also consult Paebel, the freeborn child of a debtor slave who's our age, and even Ephat, the beggar and flautist. ... I wonder if we have Labaras blood...

Someone who laughs at us, and doesn't care about us has forfeited their right to hear the truth. Thus this is not a lie, but a withholding of what they don't deserve to hear. B. You will talk to Naomi, but you lie to Ishamal, you will continue to try to have a relationship with her. This is basically B+H. Also ask this in just this way: "My main concern is not my relationship with Naomi or any woman, but my in improving my social standing. If you laugh at me, it is surely because of this. There may be little one such as I can do, but I am not one such as I, I am the only one who is me. How do I improve my social standing?" Edit: Ask... Why do you sometimes disappear for a week more without warning? How did you become the trusted fill-in for Tudiya's duties as king? Who was the king of Zepath and who was the king's fill-in before Tudiya and you? From who or where do you find your standard in moral and lawful code? Is it preserved in anyway? How does one test to see their concentration of Labaras' blood? OhYo fucked around with this message at 20:33 on Sep 6, 2013 |

I got a great idea: how about get on top of the house and see if we can...Sogol posted: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.

... If we must wrestle... 1A I would prefer to use the staff mostly defensively. Sweeps, weight transfer, blocking and keeping others at bay comes before direct strikes. 2. B. Danal can decide for himself, but it'd be best if he's nearby. 3. I. End the scuffle, by force. Attempt to quickly garner support from Paebel and friends and/or individuals who don't seem to have a group. Climb the minotaur corpse to make your way to the head. Anyone fighting on the corpse could be easier to knock off balance with the staff. Use the staff to make a clearing near the head and stop the entire scuffle at least in that vicinity. Use this as an opportunity for a growing experience. This is no behavior of followers of El or heroes. Speak when you've beat their undivided attention out of them.
