That seems like a silly thing to do before we shred it into wood chips, burn it, and bury the ashes far away edit: a shameful snipe but we gotta destroy that tree y'all

What if we just let the tree eat us? Like pretend to be a cow and bury ourselves under those roots. I bet we'd learn a thing or two! #Breathgate2020

My hope is that the tree can be turned into something cool, in which case we can just take the W by destroying it as utterly as we can in the forge.

TacoNight posted:Why do people want to give away the cool light orbs we found? To appease a foreign god whose priestess asked nicely? We explicitly know we shouldn’t directly cooperate. It’s a potentially cool discovery that isn’t being taken from us, like with Amok’s scrolls. I demand we put the lightbulbs in the "demon tree" to see if anything cool happens other than it looking neat e: I mean the pom not the cult tree then ask evrart what he thinks of them then give them to the trio cause there's no good way for us to deal with them ourselves and they can make the problem go away. If we ask them to deal with the orbs appropriately then i'm confident they will. JustaDamnFool posted:Is it a Very Smart and Very Cool idea to give a small bit of Enkidel's blood to our planted demon tree to see how violently it reacts? It could be a useful way to settle how dangerous it is to humans, but I could imagine it could cause some issues. i'm leaning towards very bad. I got a real bad feeling about this, blood has some kind of weird significance, Ish has recommended we never gently caress around with blood in the way Amok flicked a drop into our eye, mostly it's evil guys who love blood. Putting some on the pom is just way too casual for our level of "getting it" SniperWoreConverse fucked around with this message at 22:38 on Jun 6, 2020 |

Maybe we should eat some of the tree then? We might learn something if it counts as magical.

Even feeding cattle blood to the tree has raised some religious heming and hawing about impropriety. Human and/or angel blood (or the extremely verboten combo form, nephilim blood) is surely a bad idea. Even I don't want to do that, and I think that tree is awesome. Let's just keep it as is, it's not harming anyone. We can do cool grafting experiments with it. Look, if we graft a branch from that tree to a regular tree and it aggressively converts the normal tree in to a predator tree I'll admit it's probably bad. But that's probably the only way I'll come around short of direct divine instructions to destroy it from a melachim. I'm pretty sure we already sacrificed one of the fruit to El and nothing out of the ordinary happened.

Hey, remember all those cool tips we maybe/maybe didn't hear about on the way from Karnak? Like the one about a melachim living in the forest, we should send someone to investigate those we DID hear about.

Crazycryodude posted:I definitely want to ask Zeb about what we should do if we run into corrupted priests that are secretly serving a demon, seeing as that's now an actual thing we have actual evidence of. Basically nothing else, though, there's very little we can ask him about that wouldn't be ratting on ourselves. yeah +1 to this, we were a little confused about how to handle that at the time until we lucked into rescuing Issachar

Diogines posted:Within a few more days the fruits stop growing in size. The stems which connect them to their branches are very thick and very strong. Not a single fruit fell to the ground when David last grew fruits upon it many years ago. In the dead of night you take a few fruits from the tree. They smell very good. You erect an altar beyond the city, douse them in oil, pray and light them with a bit of flint... Anything else aside, El didn't appear to hate the fruit or love the fruit. Not that I support using an altar as a litmus test most of the time, but I think this outcome seems to indicate they aren't profane or detestable.

Until we know it's demonic, as opposed to monstrous, I think we shouldn't destroy a potentially valuable asset.

My phone doesn't like the archiver so I can't quote these directly, but Snarls has smelled it twice. First time: It has no fruit at the moment. You ask him to smell it. Smells strange. Strange tree. Can you be any more specific? Very strange? Second time: Predator-plant. Strange.

go see zeb without extended question time, only those already asked go see Aaron tell him he'll be good to go in no time go see Jalitha and get those seaweed cakes go home and enjoy our forge Don't make any decision regarding the orbs we don't have Don't burn the tree (yet). Maybe build a bigger wall around it?

Possibly dumb, definitely unrelatd to the current situation question: Can Enkidel actually break wind if he wants? I have to think that given the Balls of Labaras' general level of crassness/irreverence in the field, some group of them has eaten enough beans to start a contest. I want to know if Enkidel can win those contests or if his divine blood has finally proven a real handicap.

I question our obsession with the tree, everyone is telling us it is bad, regardless of their alignment with El, as far as we have been able to find out, it does nothing except for make decent tasting fruits and also eats blood. Uproot it, see if Everstrike wants to make anything with it, sacrifice it to El if not, or just burn it if that isn't cool.

The tree obsession is because it's a Weird Thing that no one has actively tried to take from us. There have been plenty of people suggesting we destroy it, but they're actually suggestions and not vaguely worded Orders to do so or else. Part of it is curiosity, since we want to know what the tree's actual deal is, and part of it is because people keep telling us to get rid of it so it must secretly be cool and maybe will tell us who our biological father is and obviously They are just trying to stop us from finding out the cool thing the tree must be able to do.

I don't see a point in blood tree chat anymore. Ish said he'd take a look and we're definitely voting based on his findings. Unrelated, we should find an enki spawn that is interested in smithing so she can get married to samson's grandson and learn smithing on the down low by pretending to be just there to hang out with her husband.

We can give our crap to the Melachim, who we know from past experience will do *something* with stuff we steal that will hopefully ameliorate the problem. It's the Urian equivalent of "we don't negotiate with terrorists" but the a donation of the requested sum is mysteriously made instead.

B So I can't help noticing that she doesn't want us to give the shiny orbs back. She wants us to give these things (taken from the multi-faith temple) to her own temple. And uh, not sure why we should do that? Like yeah, some Kadomin God across the entire world might get mad at us, but A) What has the Mother of Earth ever done for us? and B) what is she going to do about it? I'm remembering how we gave Indor a couple of Blue Stones, not knowing how valuable they were, and got totally ripped off. Let's keep these things and see if we can figure out what to do with them.
