Why spend all that time to dig ore in order to smelt it into ingots in order to forge them into chains in order to bind Asherah?

Instead, let's just eat Asherah.

they meant for us to bind the hunger forever by, like, staying celibate and poo poo

but what if we literally chained asherah to the bottom of the ocean forever

This is the real reason Ish taught us how to move water, we are meant to part the sea like black Moses.

It's not that the chains are breaking on asherah. The padlock on the end is the old annoying kind with a bunch of spinny number wheels and asherah has been patiently brute forcing it with every combination from 00000000000000000000 to 99999999999999999999. If we can replicate it and add our new alphabet, we can swap 'em out and save everyone a lot of grief.

Ashera's stuff comes back to unlife. Fishmen, Shushem, rotting amorphous globs of flesh with ten million eyes and mouths

I wanna make one that will kill for real, so this can't happen.


Hexenritter posted:

Honestly I feel like the "kill it deader than dead" property we're seeking is currently far beyond us and will be some much later-game El-tier blessing or bestowal rather than something we discover we can do, but all we can do is strive to perfect our art, which we're doing.


edit: ^^^^ oh my
    i think we have the start of it in the form of:
  • somewhat understanding the will of bronze for real now
  • a baby idea of the "lineage of arts" -- we have a seed of great works in us because of Labaras, not merely being able to make poo poo like Amok or Amos made one day when we're older
  • Ganal-Garal's connection to gatekeeper / guardian / father of urchins / reef / paradise / Har / the righteous dead
  • It's good and a route to powerful things to reforge something detestable into something righteous, and some of those are urchins, and it would be right to close the circle and use one against Asherah
  • Things like searchens and other monstrosities are "made" out of non-repugnant things in the first place by Asherah in some way
  • Rudimentary apprehension of how bad stuff if is made like the ridiculous powders and items Shushem beat us into rote knowledge of, but also seeing so many hosed up jars full of human eyes and poo poo. Getting electrocuted by a sword.
  • Experiencing weird feels and presences of strange weapons and hosed up monsters for a century or w/e.
  • It's not even a thing to be MEGADEATH but more that it can pierce the perverse machinery of unlife (as well as chopping off a deadly huge crab arm or w/e like a powerful spear must be able to do)
i think if we focus very hard on turning these things over in our memory we can produce this thing over a number of years. Plus Danal swore to El to liberate Athar, saved Ruth & Bagar, and tried to 1v1 Shushem -- as a kid. This is the man who needs this thing. Like, we were practically born for something like this. Our whole life experience has led up to being able to begin to make something for this purpose.

Plus we're well equipped in other ways to make this thing. The hundreds of zealot fighters & smiths & heroes & artisans at our beck who are entirely willing to help in any possible way. And our money and merchant connections to find weird doodads we might need. And all the people willing to do baseline stuff like build walls or whatever so that we can physically get the correct kind of detestable thing into the forge without risking it eating our town. And the hammer. And snarls who can help smell for the right thing.

This isn't something to pierce the sky or destroy death itself or anything. All this hosed up poo poo is a disgustingly modified version of normal stuff, which was made by an evil process. A process that can be disrupted. I think the blooded arts are pretty much having a more nuanced understanding of how things actually work, and correctly reworking them in accordance with the will of El. I think we can do this if we really focus on it and look at it from every possible angle.

Just let Gertrude go. He's second in command of the Shafts and a ZMM in all but name at this point it seems, he's got better things to do with his time than go hunting with a relative he doesn't like who is imposing on his time. That's a great way to get him to dislike us even more. If he thinks Danal should be king, well, he can take that up with Danal (who very much does not want to be king).

To all the naysayers saying a slice of life is of empty of impact, if Diog is telling the truth about this game (and there is no reason to suspect otherwise) being primarily sim then things don't revolve around Enkidel, events happen regardless of us and the world evolves on it's own. This includes things Gershom coming back with a mysterious blooded bronze suit of armor and a story full of pigshit, things that could impact the GZMA.

Team hunger should be voting for plan Sniperworeconverse because the best weapon to permanently neutralize enemies would be the Celaphot claw spear(which eats them.) Then, when we finally fall to hunger, we can eat the spear for a spam-like condensed meal of everything the spear’s eaten!

Question Time
Sep 12, 2010



Team El should be voting for plan Sniperworeconverse because it’s the best way to kill demons, especially “invulnerable to normal weapons” demons, and there’s nothing more pleasing to El than killing demons.

Team Adventure should be voting for it because if and when we go out again, if we hit a greater demon, it’s game over without something that can damage it.

Team SimKavodel should be voting for it because it’s the best way to protect Kavodel and stay in Kavodel, especially the “arming other people to do the dirty work” part.
