F Diogenes, did we tell the captive about the message from the Melachim so that they would sow panic in the ranks, or at least made ELs displeasure known?

Just F If we hand over all of our weapons, he will find out that we have Saul's sword. If he mentions that to the king before we speak to him he might not be receptive to our (El's) warning. I wonder if we should say something about that to him. gnarl fucked around with this message at 21:23 on Jun 7, 2014 |

G. Glare at the man and say with a slightly raised voice "who do you think you are, to place your demands on El's messengers? Summon your King, or I will shout the message this instant for all your troops to hear".

Yeah, sure, F works, though E's fine too. Either way, no sense in being anything but cooperative right now, we might need any ounce of good intent we can muster in a minute, and being armed isn't going to make any difference. Shame about not being focused enough of the captive votes. If we were going to get rid of them we ought to have at least done the whole 'sew discord' thing. Still would have preferred handing them over though.

I believe part of this exchange is about asserting dominance. These people have never seen us before, and know nothing about our capabilities. All they know is that we are larger than any King they've ever seen, and that they've got us outnumbered. Giving away our weapons to them is an implicit agreement to surrender. It will the dispel the illusion we've got going for us that we are Blooded enough to slay every common man on the battlefield without even breaking a sweat.gnarl posted:If we hand over all of our weapons, he will find out that we have Saul's sword.

"Prince Saul is part of the reason I stand here before you today. He could be made to see reason*. He symbolically surrendered by giving me his sword**; then he went home***". We get to be the mysterious stranger for a change. * Dead people technically can't object to anything. ** Technically, death is a form of surrender. *** Technically, Olam Haba is home.

F, but tell them to bug out if things go south. Just flee. We don't need no stinkin' spear. We used our bare hands on the demon. Pretty sure a wicked king is mushier. E: I'm a little worried about the freed men telling people about what we did and alerting the enemy to our separated balls. Arkanomen fucked around with this message at 21:50 on Jun 7, 2014 |

1. G - Hand your weapons to your Balls, then crush the captain's head with your hands. Pick up his corpse and wield it like a club. Go see the king and bludgeon all who try to stop you.

Give him our weapons and then, as he turns away trusting in our harmlessness USE OUR DEMONIC POWERS TO TURN OUR HANDS INTO HORRIBLY FANGED MOUTHS SO THAT WE CAN RIP HIS THROAT OUT. WITH OUR BARE, FLESH-GUZZLING HANDS Also, Hey Snarls,; Do you happen to smell anything particularly delicious coming from the camp's cookstoves? What do you smell coming from the city? Any difference? Also, go steal some kick rear end food for us, Snarls Slaan fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Jun 7, 2014 |

They have probably been interviewed by a King or three that can probably read minds, or will have at the very least vigorously asked them about their leader and his son. Maybe none of that has happened, but we need to imagine that it did. We are not going to dominate what is the largest army currently in the field in Ur. We are not going to trick the Three Kings. Those things are pretty unlikely to happen. Heart Full of El.

F - And be sure to give our balls our sword. Keep the lucky dagger unless the guard specifically brings it up. That's more a tool than a weapon. The guard's doing us a favor by making sure that we have an excuse to leave the camp after meeting with the king. After all, we'd love to return a token to him. But we had to leave it outside. Not the world's best insurance plan. But it's something. Also: 1. Bring Jobe. 2. While disarming quietly tell Danal (in Ather's language) to get ready if we need him to sneak in as backup. Then a tactical question: How well is the camp's perimeter being guarded? Could Danal plausibly sneak in? How about Snarls?

They'd be pretty crappy guards if they let random armed strangers wander in to meet their king. Especially when there's a city full of dudes who actively want the king dead. Maybe it's dominance, but I wouldn't take it too hard.

Angela Christine posted:Lets not get Snarls killed today, okay? Soldiers might hesitate to attack an obviously blooded stranger, but few men would have qualms about attacking a gigantic dog-beast. I agree we shouldn't send Snarls into danger. But I'm also not sure how much he sticks out in Ur's society or how walled in the camp would be. I'm not sure if people see him and go, "Giant Beast Dog!" or if it's more, "Wow, that's a big dog." If it's the latter, he should be pretty safe. He's groomed, so he belongs to someone. And he'd be expensive to maintain, so people will know that he belongs to someone wealthy. And in Ur, wealth often goes hand-in-hand with the ability to punch through rocks.
