Hrm... Possibly 1 Since this is one of the "make friends with elves" quests, maybe we're supposed to convince them meat peoples are good peoples.

Elves are always dicks, it's teh law. 5.
( I didn't look at any of the myths before questing. I'm sure nothing bad happened)

Reddyne · « **Reply #902 on:** August 07, 2013, 11:46:02 AM »

5-ish? The connection between the legend and what's going on has been real foggy so far.

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #903 on:** August 07, 2013, 11:20:44 PM »

... well OK we also had someone vote for 1?

Well shit. There's not much left so I'm just gonna go through things instead of another vote.

OK FINALLY. (For what it's worth all this process actually shows is that the RNG hates Janerra. The "canon" answer was

Spoiler:

but the other just-talky options are supposed to have a chance too. :V)

The seed is called Adborl, and it is a burrowing thing that makes a big tunnel into the earth for Janerra. Janerra goes into the tunnel, where she finds Ernalda's terrible sister, Maran Gor, the earthquake goddess. She has taken Barntar as her thrall. "Your son, he helps me to break up the earth into pieces, so that I can hurl it at our enemies. You think that this fight with Orlanth's nephew was a terrible thing, but it is merely the harbringer of what is to come. The kinstrife he caused will soon bring about other bad things. Three bad gods will force Orlanth to give him their blessing, and together they will make a god that is worse than all of them put together. I need Barntar to help me fight them."

1. Look for Esra and Uralda.
2. Leave the realm of the gods.
3. "Love is stronger than hate."
4. Offer her blood in exchange for Barntar.
5. Offer her earthshakers in exchange for Barntar.
6. "Without Barntar to plow the lands, there will be no reason to fight."

The myths are actually kinda crap for this whole quest when you don't have the deeper secrets. Maybe they'll help anyway?

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #904 on:** August 07, 2013, 11:28:40 PM »

Yeah the myths are terrible.

6 seems the best choice from an actual debate standpoint. Then again with the rng....

UncertainJakutten · « **Reply #905 on:** August 07, 2013, 11:28:56 PM »

6 sounds legit.

Von Stein · « **Reply #906 on:** August 07, 2013, 11:30:41 PM »

This is stronger than hate.

Yeah the myths are terrible.

Though I guess it's kinda fitting since Ernalda is also the goddess most strongly associated with magic and the occult (in all senses of the word especially the "hidden knowledge" sort)?

By Eurmal's beard, what is that beast?! it has 5 chins and its triceps are still swaying 3 seconds after its arm stops! Slay it with a Caesar's salad, yoga pants, and a subscription to Runner's World before it undulates towards us!

We get him back one way or another. Do different answers that all lead to the same result play to different strengths of the LARPer? Either way, 6.

WAIT TAKE THE YOGA PANTS BACK! AAAUGH! :colonveeplusalpha:

Hey man, Maran Gor lets us water our crops with the blood of our enemies. She lets us nuke the fuck out of our enemies' harvests. Dinosaurs are sacred to her. Also remember that time when Enerin called on the dark side of the earth. Maran Gor is awesome.

_{Also her priestesses are cannibals so we probably don't want to piss her off.}

Yaersulf · « **Reply #911 on:** August 08, 2013, 01:54:14 AM »

5, who wants that boring guy anyway when you can have DINOSAURS?

Sagus · « **Reply #912 on:** August 08, 2013, 02:27:25 AM »

Maybe this is how dinos became sacred to her in the first place. 5

Kingault · « **Reply #913 on:** August 08, 2013, 08:14:02 PM »

I'll pick 5 due to sounding more interesting than 6.
My logic is flawless.

Question: Does a Vingan work for all Orlanth-worshipper tasks, for example being Chief?
I bought this game and have started a clan several times.

They basically always work as whichever would be more advantageous. :V

e.g. they count as Orlanth for chief but themselves for the getting magic for ring diversity

<ArashiKurobara> ... oh oops.
<ArashiKurobara> I shouldn't have just copypasta'd the options from the wiki for the heroquest
<ArashiKurobara> ... the earthshaker choice only comes up when you have earthshakers to give. :V

It was a tie anyway though and even if we did have earthshakers I'd've tiebroken with the option that doesn't make us give things up. :V _{seriously you guys even if we did have earthshakers why would you want to lose them for this}

Janerra: failing at

Spoiler:

this whole heroquest. I swear to god this quest is usually easy.

Welp, we lost some people. I guess we'll have an even easier time feeding the tribe (by which I mean our clan) later? :V

Janerra goes further into the tunnel, where she finds the cavern of Ernalda's terrible aunt, Ty Kora Tek, goddess of the dead. Ty Kora Tek has been collecting dead souls in her cavern. During the troubles with Daga, Uralda and Esra wandered in, seeking protection. Janerra asks Ty Kora Tek to release the two bountiful goddesses. But Ty Kora Tek refuses: "What comes into my realm cannot come back out again. I cannot set a bad precedent now and just let out anyone who has a good reason to leave. Very bad times are coming, the halls of the dead will soon be fill to bursting with the slain."

1. Continue the quest.
2. "Esra and Uralda will disturb things here, making life where there should be death."
3. Leave the realm of the gods.
4. "Take others of the storm tribe in exchange for these two."
5. "Without Esra and Uralda, the people will starve."
6. "You are my aunt, you must listen to my pleas."

I PROMISE we actually have all these choices this time. :V

The myths are actually kinda crap for this whole quest when you don't have the deeper secrets. Maybe they'll help anyway?

This isn't the Something Awful LP where everyone reading already knows the right answers from past LPs anyway. :V

Janitor Morgan · « **Reply #919 on:** August 08, 2013, 11:47:20 PM »

2 has a certain sort of logic to it.

Iced Fairy · « **Reply #920 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:27:09 AM »

2 is the reasonable useful answer. Which is why it will fail.

Kingault · « **Reply #921 on:** August 09, 2013, 12:39:59 AM »

Yeah, two sounds the most logical to me.

Will all these failures negatively impact our rewards?

Unless we fail so hard that we run out of options besides "leave", nope. :V

Heroquest success/failure is (mostly) a binary state, and even the exceptions aren't a question of degree. (True/false/file not found? :V)

Yaersulf · « **Reply #925 on:** August 09, 2013, 03:51:29 AM »

2, or 5 if it fails. Janerra requires one to have a plan b (or c, or even d).

Shizumarashi Mayuzumi · « **Reply #926 on:** August 09, 2013, 11:10:10 PM »

STAHP JANERRA. STAHP. Quit being a failure.

Welp. :V

Janerra seeks to leave the earthen tunnel with the gods she has rescued. But a terrible woman blocks their way, looking fierce and brandishing an axe. "You cannot leave here. The tribe is sundered, and cannot be so easily mended. Your man committed kinstrife, and so I, who have not been born yet, have been charged with the task of keeping broken things broken."

1. "I myself will come to the place of the dead, and you will seek to avenge me."
2. "I will give you blood if you let us pass."
3. "I will give you magic if you let me pass."
4. Leave the realm of the gods.
5. "You are my daughter, and so must let me pass."

The myths are actually kinda crap for this whole quest when you don't have the deeper secrets. Maybe they'll help anyway?

Janerra's constant failure is actually kind of hilarious because you guys are mostly voting right. You're better at this than she is. =P

5. If Ernalda's daughter kills her, she won't be born, thus creating a time paradox.

Five makes the most sense.
...No doubt, this won't work, looking at the previous choices....
