G The Melachim are probably lying to us about the nature of men to die. The common men get to stick around and feed the demons, Mighty Men are undisturbed.

Absum posted:Why do some get different treatment if it's the nature of humans to die horrible agonizing deaths. Sounds like bullshit. In this particular case? The men of Harmath are serfs and, therefor, effectively slaves. They obey their Lords far more than they obey El, since their Lords actually decide whether they eat while El just empowers Blooded folk like Kings and Lords. Note that, although they have souls, they have very little autonomy and lack presences just like actual owned slaves. Perhaps the death of their souls has more to do with a lack of Faith than with agency, but I still think it's a factor. Diogines posted:You have to keep running. You are lost. North. You need to go north but the trees block your sight and you are too far from the sea to hear it's waves. The stars are strange and unfamiliar and while you run, you know they are to the south, they know you are here and they are chasing you. As you have run, you have become confused and now are uncertain which way is which. You could be running straight at them. We don't know what we did, how we did it, or maybe even that we managed it at all. But we revealed Mount Har to Danal at a slight expenditure of [???]. This situation is wrong. We can help, even if its only a few. N: Call out for El to guide those truly lost as we reveal to the dead the location of Mount Har. Don't try, don't wonder how, just do it.

jng2058 posted:Wow, look at that terrible waste of life. Man, wouldn't have been great if some wandering Hero had been able to keep this terrible massacre from happening? By El, that'd have been great! He might not have had to kill anyone, just spread fear and dissent among the common soldiers and, I dunno, give some tactical advice to the besieged guys. Wow, how many lives do you think that would have saved? It's mostly the men from Harmath, the beseiegers, whose souls we're hearing screaming in agony. Would it really have saved a ton of lives if half the camp was in revolt against itself when the men of Tadmor sallied forth to slaughter them in a moment of weakness, or were even BETTER prepared to murder yet more Harmathans as they tried to climb the walls? E: Diogines posted:"Yet..." Ishamal says "Yet... do not think poorly of poor Enkidu, for as he struggled with death, so do we all and as he feared for the loss of joy of all the goodly things of life, so do we all and he did many great and mighty deeds and for those, let us remember well of him!" My other option was Azzazel laughing and declaring that we had passed his test, which is probably a happier memory but this one seems more relevant. Also, to be honest I'm not even really entirely sure that E is necessarily the best idea. It's just much more FUN to try and pick out a unique happy memory!

This situation is wrong. We can help, even if its only a few. If we only need to light one beacon to show the rest the way, this might work. If we need to individually cause every single soul that dies to remember the way to Mt. Har (and we didn't light a beacon for Danal, we just "remembered" something we knew), we're about to spend 0.1% of our soul bar per go for hundreds if not thousands of individual soldiers. This may not be the wisest of ideas.

G Ellllllll!Absum posted:Hrm. It may not be agonizing as much as terrifying. Dying sucks. Right before you died you were likely going through the worst 30 seconds of your life. Those emotions and sensations apparently linger for at least a few moments after death. It is entirely possible that both the people that we see swoop away and the people who seem to dissipate both end up at the foot of the mountain. Swoopers pull themselves together and zoom over there on their own power, dissipators get teleported. Or maybe not. Once we get to Baitel we can go look at the foot of the mountain ourselves. Maybe we'll even be able to talk to some spirits there.

Oops. Having just learned how horrific this is for us we determined to stay and witness the largest slaughter in recent times on the continent. C/G. Sob, because we would. Call out not as the power word El, but literally just crying out to El from a broken heart. This is similar to when we cried out to El with Asahel, which was not a power word.

Pretty sure the souls find Mt. Har just fine on their own, it just takes them a second to make the mental transition from "Oh gently caress! Why are they dumping boiling oil on my head!?" To "Oh, hey, I'm dead. Let's go climb a mountain." We don't need to burn up ??? On pretending to be Charon when it isn't necessary. When we come across some lost ghost who asks us for directions, THEN we can point the way.

It's mostly that we were FLYING. And then ohgodohgodwe'regonnadiiiie! And then BAM, in Ishamal's arms, safe in the eye of a tornado! And we LIVED! I'd certainly be happy as hell if that happened to me at 10 years old or so.

This may not be the wisest of ideas. You're telling me you don't relish the idea of Enkidel micromanaging spiritual guidance to thousands of souls that are fading into nothingness at varying rates after appearing haphazardly across a battlefield tens of thousands strong? Having the chance to peek at their minds as we impart remembrance of something they didn't know was lost? What if the act is righteous enough to warrant a top off from El? It's self-sacrifice in an attempt to right something supernaturally wrong, acting out ultimate mercy (a chance at Paradise) to creatures facing ultimate destruction (nonexistence). We may even draw back the attention of whatever it is that's been Watching us and remind them they've got some smiting to do nearby.

Oh cool, we're rewarding these guys for their cowardice (not willing to defy an order to rape/pillage/burn a shrine to El) and selfishness (only wanting to warn friends and family of the calamity that was foretold) with a free trip to Baitel, a once in a lifetime opportunity for the faithful, something most could never afford and what we actually denyed more worthy people from Tanaach the opportunity of.

Ditching them here was a death sentence. Ditching them a town away, if the King lives, is a death sentence. Taking them to Baitel for judgement by the Priests is a death sentence not on our heads. Should they instead be forced to be slaves or punished by other means, at least Baitel can keep them safe from the King.

I think we should belatedly enslave our new 'pilgrims' and sell them off at the nearest town for some quick cash. G+N: "Dear El, please make it stop. I'll fulfill all the Pledges you want me to".
