Fa. (No introduction)

H. "I have been sent by the Melachim..."

I. "...Prince Saul burned the Shrine of El in Ashkalon and butchered it's people..."

N. "...I slew Prince Saul and many of his men for this grave offense."

T. "...and I was given a message to give to you. For the actions of your men in Ashkalon, your victory here is forefeit. You are to lift your siege and depart before the sun sets this eve, or great calamity will befall you."


I like Fa, but I also do not think we should omit that we killed his son. He will figure it out and being honest will get us killed faster probably has some benefit?

Re: Barkof, he's probably not a horrible maneater. When we run into him we should just tell him to go found a city somewhere, he's strong enough to do it so why the gently caress not? Just change your name and go build a city somewhere.

They were already told that Enkidel claims a message from El, repeating it is unnecessary at best and a show of fear at worst. This route is relatively direct and confident without being undiplomatic. The worst thing we can do here is shame him in front of his allies. Doing so will make him feel cornered, and give him strong incentive to retaliate against us to save face.

I wonder what it is that people see when they try to mindread us. Do they just get an image of citrus trees lazily swaying in the breeze? Or does it somehow just dissuade them from continuing? They must think we're a complete idiot who daydreams about groves of fruit trees 24/7.

I'm assuming that the survivors from Saul's men already made it back to camp and told everybody about how a giant black man attacked them. If the king knows that, then he may not believe Og if Og acts as if someone else did the deed. That was my reasoning for mentioning that we killed Saul.

Sadly, we gave Saul's sword up along with the rest of our weapons.

Also, I may be wrong, but I don't think it's all that unique, so most folks probably wouldn't even know who it belonged to. It isn't a Mighty work of art, merely a very good sword, like a man of status might have - and we look crazy-Blooded, so it's probably our sword.

Backing this. Holy messengers don't mince words and they don't stick around to chitchat (unless they're talking to us, the notoriously curious-to-the-point-of-mental-damage cannibal boy from the sea).

Now would've been a really good time to know some badass super stealth to disappear around a corner, though.

Oh drat. That is a good idea. That king has likely never met anyone who can stop him from reading their mind. Letting him know that we know he tried and failed will put him WAY off balance and further reinforce the concept that we are RIDICULOUSLY blooded.
