When harpies are spotted, our militia will form a tight shieldwall around Enki. He is taller than the others by far. We'll function as a (barely) mobile armoured transport with a turret gunner.

I like Meaty Men too.

Voting F, mainly because this is probably the only chance we'll get in quite some time to observe a minotaur over a long stretch of time.

Also, ask Indor to cook up something to grant Enki the ability to speak and understand the minotaur language. Should be very interesting to hear what it has to say about Orcs, suicidal attacks on Zepath and what's in those mountains.

If it turns out to be a cool cow, let it 'escape' in Baitel to find a good death. Let's see those city softies deal with a real threat!

Diogenes, question for Indor, please:
Is there a way for a man to communicate with a minotaur? Or any mortal being besides men (and dogs)? If so, can you help me do it?

I really want to have a chat with a monster.

I love the idea of hatching and raising Larry. We'll feed him loads of monster meat to make sure he understands what is kosher. This also means we won't flood the market, keeping Tudiya happy. And when he grows up, I'm pretty sure flying this thing to Athar will make the trip easier and help with the negotiations where we demand all the pearls and pay with freedom/death.

We really should look into hiring a falconeer anyway, if only to raise us a couple of homing birds of some kind. The ability to send word to Zepath right now would have been handy. Or whenever we go out with our Balls and have a pile of minotaur parts that need to be picked up by our bitchin' cage wagon. Or the next time we spot a hostile army.

Also, I love this CYOA. Thanks, Diogenes!

Deadly Ham Sandwich posted:

The theory of Asherah pleading for help seems interesting. If Asherah is a fallen Melachim, then maybe Asherah still has a love for humanity that all the Melachim have. Asherah probably was punished or more likely hosed themselves up into their miserable and uncontrollable hunger, kind of how Enkidel hosed himself up into horrible hunger by not breathing. If this is the case, then Asherah is living in a hell totally overwhelmed by hunger and unable to stop eating people. Maybe those random words under the hunger were please for the Melachim to kill him and save the villagers.

Also, if the above is true, then the same thing can happen to other Melachim and to Enkidel. This is what happens when we push the limits of our power. We turn into a horrible cursed man eating demon.

What if Asherak IS dead and Asherah is actually Ishamal's son, who turned into a horrible cursed man eating demon. Must freak him out that we named our kid Ash...

1. I: The city of Tadmor was set upon by petty Kings with little love for El's laws. We told the attacking Kings that for their crimes their victory was forfeit, but they did not obey and sought to avoid El's judgement. For this they were destroyed. The King of Tadmor claims victory now, and seeks to return the region to the ways of El and peace. That is as it should be...for I could tell you of the horrors that occur when men engage in the wanton destruction of 'warfare,' but you would not believe me.

Of all the crimes against El in the world, battle against man for greed and profit is perhaps the worst, and should fill us all with disgust."

Meanwhile, Enkidel hasn't actually been physically injured yet, has he?

Jalitha cut his scalp while giving him his first ever haircut.

Enkidel was beaten up pretty badly by Lullaya and his goons in the aftermath of the first minotaur attack on Zepath. His arm was busted up real bad, and then got fixed in the dreamworld.

Can't remember anything serious since, but surely Enkidel would have noticed by now if his skin turned into kevlar?

JT Jag posted:

One of the thread theories is that too much direct worship of a Melachim warps the Melachim, making the Melachim crave further worship and sacrifices in their name, perhaps growing addicted to it. That is how all the Greater Demoms are made, and that's why El exists: to act as a well to pool the collective worship energies of humanity that the Melachim can feed off safely.

If this is true, I wonder which Melachim is currently getting the most worship. Will Smythos (Demon of fire) turn demonic before Marnal (Demon of grief)?

Did we ever get an update where Diogenes states which one is the most popular among the El-forsaken heathens?

We initially founded our Balls when we had to fill a jar of foreskins so we could marry Naomi. We very nearly argued ourselves into doing the hunting alone. Imagine if we went at it with just Snarls... Would we have an intelligent dog the size of a polar bear?

Join the three voices, and part of the message is clearer. And stranger:

"Ever, our eyes upon Zepath and this land and it's people. And we guard and protect from dangers without and within, even from ourselves."

Edit: Wanted to ask these questions, but I realize the answers now. Never mind!

Who or what within Zepath is a danger to Zepath?
What danger do you pose to Zepath?
Which other cities have guardians like you?

Oh, and there has been some warfare between Ibleam and Zepath in the past, just not recently. This quote is from the Bareen incident:

Diogines posted:

You have knowledge of Zepathan politics as a result of your decision to prioritize time with Tudiya during your time in Zepath. This is certainly going to be embarrassing for him. The kings of Tanaach and Ibleam are both cousins of Tudiya, the cities having been founded originally by settlers from Zepath, no one is going to go to war over it, but it is certainly going to be embarrassing.

One of Zepath's Mighty Men may die from that wound he took...and Barkof is probably a wash by the time this is over...

Ibleam has played nice during most of Tudiya's reign, but you know over the centuries there is a history of some warfare between Ibleam and Zepath, as well as raids, Ibleam usually the aggressor. The loss of two Mighty Men may embolden them to raid cattle or trade in the future. Ibleam is a larger city, as is Tanaach, though Tudiya is said to be Mightier than either of their kings. Second sons founded Tanaach and Ibleam, first sons remained in Zepath as kings.
