Diogines posted:No one has weapon focus: El-Scream-Explosion in the Old Tales. A variety of men from the Old Tales have supernatural powers. You saw Tudiya turn one of Bareen's followers into confetti by screaming something at them. He also did some pretty nasty things to those (orcs?). What happened with the Zviv is not unique by the standards of the Old Tales. Disappointing, but blacking out the sky with a divine firestorm of supernatural arrows while we FUS EL DAH stuff will have to do. A, but stress the message and the need to pray to El when we leave Tell him to pray sincerely to El for guidance, and that you hope he will listen, then depart. I get the feeling when judgement arrives, we're going to see it from quite a long way away. And as tempting as it is to try to reason with the King, bear in mind: a) This is the King's life work here, right on the cusp of achieving victory over his hated enemies. This ain't Mass Effect, there's no magic conversation option to sway someone from something this big. b) Remember the last time we tried a passionate speech? Yeah. c) Our job was to warn the king, not to dissuade him from attacking. We've done El's work, let's get back to our pilgrimage and consider ourselves fortunate nothing went terribly wrong here.

L Come on man don't get your whole army killed over this! You can try again next year! I don't disagree with A voters, but man it feels like we should try just a little bit harder to save the lives of a whole bunch of people.

1. You..... B. ...the five of you don't rejoin the caravan, you will watch from a distant hill to see what happens. You move a lot quicker than your caravan and Gareb has instructions to wait for you at the next city, you have plenty of time before he does something drastic like moves on without you or comes looking for you.

M: "It is clear that you are a wise and pious man, a petty king would have killed the messengers that bore such dreadful news. I have done my duty by El and delivered his message, it makes no difference to my onward journey whether or not you heed my words. But it would sadden me greatly to know that a good king is dead, there are too few of them around these days. El is good, El is all powerful and above all El is true to his word. If he says that your army will be met with calamity if it does not leave by sundown, that is surely what will happen. By staying here you are not seizing victory, but inevitable defeat. I beg of you, do right by your men and humble yourself before El. If you demonstrate your wisdom and your piety today, El may yet reward you with the victory you seek tomorrow."

A. I was certain we were gonna die here. We have done our service to El, our job is done, let's get the hell out of Dodge. The king has plans to disobey El, we don't want to be here when that happens. The king's bad ideas are not our responsibility.

Why in the actual gently caress do the people voting B have any desire to be within line of sight of something that can bring calamity down on an entire army? It's a pointless risk where all we stand to gain is watching a bunch of people die.

B Blessed are those who believe in El but have not seen. We have delivered our message, may El have mercy on us. Let us be off and do not look back, no matter how hot the flames that lick at our backs may be. I'm sure if the whole camp is going to be smote we will notice it. And we can always take a detour on the way back to see what has happened

P. Plan Women and Children! Great king, I implore you, you are obviously just and pious. But my message is clear. If the siege is not broken before sunset a great calamity will befall you. ............. I see I cannot convince you, your heart and mind is set. I respect that. But please let me take the women and children in camp and lead them away. You do not need them for the battle tomorrow. A vote for one last hurrah, followed by a hail mary to save some. Every camp has campfollowers. Wives, children, whores, fletchers, smiths, cooks. He will probably never break the siege but we can save some. The dude is obviously not a psycho-killer. And while a more normal reaction to "I killed your son" is "Die!" I have to say he was pretty cool with us offing him. Though if leaving wins i'd rather it be B. Though I am doubtful a calamity will befall anyone. It is sad but somehow I don't think Melechim have that much power in the world anymore Affi fucked around with this message at 21:39 on Jun 8, 2014 |

M. - passionate speech to convince king. Good thing we maxed out our charisma. The king seems like a good dude. He didn't kill us and he will rebuild El's temple. I think he doesn't understand the gravity of the situation. Seems kind of lovely to let him lead his people to their doom.

I'd love to go with Jazzyhattricks, but I really want to try to save any women and children from whatever is going to go down, if this doesn't work. What will likely happen though is some kings will believe us, others won't, and in the ensuing infighting the Tadmorans attack.

U: "Your victory this day has already been foretold. Move quickly, as you have only til sunset to break this siege. I pray that you have made the correct choice, and that El will have mercy. Farewell." Considering we've been roped in by technicality in the past, let's turn the tables. Maybe he just has to conquer the city before nightfall? I honestly don't care so long as we're as far away as possible. If invisible priests start talking to us, it's time to bail out. Diog! Did it appear as though anyone else listened to the middle-aged priest we didn't notice at first, or did he just speak to us with no one really noticing?

P. We should make certain it's clear that he has no choice here. Also, he totally thinks we're a melachim. I do want to see how the smiting goes down, too. And hey--more pilgrims!

M with the flavor of P&O, which are excellent write-ins. - do not shame or threaten him. - emphasize that we have no stake, but instead are tasked with delivering what we know is an a difficult message to hear.

We have already delivered our message, and told him what El demands of him. If he rejects this call, then folly be upon him, for what man's judgement is greater than the Father's? Nothing more is demanded of us now. B.
