I just have one question.

How did Phiali fail in his current venture?

I just have one question.

How did Phiali fail in his current venture?

Are you asking me to provide an epilogue or something else?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Maybe not that long, but an epilogue works.

[Harry Baldman]

Maybe not that long, but an epilogue works.

Let's see, then.

[6-->4] Shockingly, Phiali didn't fail at all for once. He managed to snuff the bonfire just fine, with the help of the other guy! Talk about a shocking twist, eh?

[6-->2] It didn't particularly endear him to the villagers, though. They were, however, in a suggestible and distraught enough state for him to attempt to exploit through conversion.

[3] He even got one actual convert before they ran him out of town. A happy ending for him, truly.

Aw, that's a shame. Very unique concept, very well executed. Definitely had fun.

I've also been thinking for a while that the stories of Lars would probably be the primary, focused tales of the main prophet, while stories of Shashari the Forest Wanderer would probably mainly be children's stories. Been trying to think of what everyone else's exploits might fall under, but now seems to be the time.

Gronok I get the feeling would show up in tavern stories.

The crimson lady who dropped out I'm thinking would be one of those obscure prophets who a handful of people really admire or consider important but a lot of people haven't even heard of or are only vaguely familiar with.

Elizas I suspect would be a niche prophet/character, not really showing up in any of the main stuff but being really admired by a handful for his talents/exploits. Not as niche as Crimson, I wouldn't think.

Phiali... I think would be those really weird stories where you're really not sure what the point of them was. Arguably everyone's got at least a little of that, but somehow I think an epic stanza about a bucket would be an especially good candidate for scholars to endlessly debate the meaning of, while everyone else is either not familiar with them or has absolutely no idea what they're supposed to mean or maybe has some fairly simple, not especially deep or necessarily accurate assumption about tenacity or drinking from life or something.


Again though, very nice game.

I think Phiali would be the perfect inspiration for a sort of Taoist spin-off sect that says you should be focused on the journey and failure doesn't matter.

Or he could be the Job of this religion.

Lars had a bit of a meta advantage in seeing what everyone did first, that got bolstered by his IC reason of obedience being the primary rule he added.  That said, I also think his goal was the clearest.

Gronok's travels certainly sound insane enough to be told by a drunkard.
Or be a really wierd folk tale.
