[fruitsoups]

ok gang its time to pop back down into thhe DUNGOENS OF DDOOOOM with our pal eleanor the human valkyre :3 (i know its been a minute sorry)

updates since last time: well we have made some progress!! hihglights:

did a blessed genocide on g to get rid of mind flayers bc they are annoying. I've decided not to genocide litches becuase of our friend slinky back up in the mines

cleared out the castle (so now have 2 wands of wishing, 3 blessed scrolls of charging AND two magic lamps . thats quite a lot of wishes)

statue of perseus gave us the boots, the shield, the sword AND the sack (??!), (so now we have options for loadout, can go GDSM, AoR + #twoweapon OR AoLS + reflection shield + say mjollnir)

took the time to learn a bunch of spells, including cone of cold which we can cast at like 80% success

(not when I have a cursed shield of reflection welded to my hand thought obviously!!!!!!!)

bashed our way through the valley of the dead, then got into a pickle in gehennom, invoked the orb of fate and ended up level teleporting DOWN like 10 levels. eventually made it back to the castle but had to fight through 2 demon princes on the way = Juiblex and "that other guy" (i cant remember his name anyway hes dead)

so here we are. we have like 90% of an ascenscion kit, armor = grey dragon scales amulets = life saving, reflection (x3) weapons = excalibur/silver saber (+7 / +5) / mjollnir gauntlets of power, speed boots, 2 bags of holding, plenty of wishes, loads of candles

our armor and kits all a bit dinged up after our last excursion into hell. so its time for some HOUSEKEEPING :DD then i guess back down to flick rubber bands at rodney :33

~Full moon tonight…..~

Kohonit (Samael x Lilith x Adam x Eve Genesis Fic)

It was dark in Hell when I arrived, barrow-mounded, to the glassy obsidian hills of ochre and ash.

It had been hard to start a Garden, but Adam and I were crafty.

Oh so crafty in Hell, our longing for green to grow in the black and blood of perdition burned like holy alms.

It came to a crucible with us each midnight as we rutted like wild wolves in our cave. Our sons were long gone - Cain cursed to Nod, building an empire with his descendants, Abel slain as Sacred Bull, pulling the moon for Michael, and Adamant Seth a wanderer, the Jovian line of Kings. All we had left to do was spend ghost seeds and stones.

I saw Lilith come, was it a hundred years after we had gotten the aurochs to fatten finally off the sedge, or a thousand after the tomatoes ripened? There was no sun here in Shamayim's outskirts - no time but a burning darkness infernal.

Lily brought a cask of wine and the three of us sat in the hills, watching the outskirts of the Gehennom Mountains misting, counting circling harpies and dragons as they hunted unicorns and doves in the Lebanon Forests that was the bit of sweet-bitter cedar greenness in this barren land.

"We're building a city. We need you," Queen Lilith, my first love, had said, holding Adam and I's hands as the wine rumbled in our hollow stomachs.

I had cooked tender haunches of pork and wild rice with a mirin sauce from a kitsune trader for our old paramour. I stewed the leftovers, the sweet and bristly taste of melted fat on my tongue like a question.

Adam and I shared a look as Lilith went to refill the wine.

"What kind of city, Lily?" I asked my sister-wife, with her promise of peace, of an elusive Eden of Hell, beckoning like her finest of purple wines.

“Samael fell. It is a Kingdom to rival God.”

Her brown-red hips and long curling black hair unfurled under her scarlet dress. Lilith let the dress fall, revealing her hairy goat legs, bat wings, and luscious sex.

Her hair was thick below the navel, dark black sweet curls. There were scars on her areolas from fanged children.

I had borne half Samael's brood in my hundred-year divorce from Adam - I had the fang marks too. Little half-moons of puckered ridges over our swollen, sagging breasts.

There were lines on all our faces, gray starting to creep into the black wool of my hair, age spots like liver on my umber skin. Adam was tan from farming, night black, as beautiful as the sky at midnight. We walked a bit languidly toward good old Lily - marriage is the province of all four of us: Samael, Lilith, Adam, and Eve, now isn't it? Time moved forward for us in the beginning. But now, time bent us, and come evening, we used a cane.

We all undressed. It felt like an old comfort.

Adam sired ghost children on us that night.

And so, in the morning, Lilith led us to the City.

It was a great metal flanked Behemoth, a swollen city of clanging chains and grinding organs of meat, a city of Hell, the insidious empire of Moloch, a nightmare suffused with smoke. But Samael had madly planted orchids and nightshade and roses into every pavement crack, and the salarymen and businesswomen from a thousand million trillion of our foursome's daughters and sons petered across the winding Lovecraftian streets, enjoying the metropolis, fishing on the styx, getting café au laits, drinking wine as they typed Baudelaire poetry on little chic laptops.

Samael stood at the Gates of Dis, two roses in his hands - one white, one red, and looked upon me with genteel refinery, dressed in an Armani suit with coattails. He had aged well - it was always so dark when Samael visited at night, and though regal, the Witchfather had a biting, bloody throat smile.

"Welcome home, Chavah," Samael bowed, his beard and boot polish hair whimpering like snakes in an Eleusinian wind.

I took the flower and placed it in my hair - the red. He gave the white to Adam, and Adam placed it upon Lilith's breast pocket. She was in a Chanel nave blue blazer and pantsuit.

"Old friend," Adam sighed, giving Samael a cane he had carved out of rosewood - Samael, for all his hunger, now had a limp, his cloven feet split like the beam of a wayward pine.

"Friends," Lilith and Samael said in gentle unison, spread their dark bat and owl wings, and carried us up into the air, into Hell's keep. We ate, made love like a record skipping, and in the morning. Adam and I woke with the fullest bellies of our lifetimes.

"Time to build," Adam said.

"Tell me where to place the key, for the Daughter of Eve, to welcome her home when she's done?” I smiled, and we walked out, all four of us, hand and hand into the Garden.

"Place it in my Heart," Samael said, and he ate the silver lock and spool that had once belonged to me, when I had been the girlish keeper of Gan Eden.

All maidens thereupon went astray, and while men dream of Heaven, my daughters know Hell has grace beyond measure, pleasure beyond pleasure, spit and blood in the censure, and the hunger to feed their souls.

So dear reader - Darling Daughter of Eve - do not fret when Prince Lindworm sheds his skin. Instead, walk tall into that gate, past waterfall and sorrowful Dragon, tame the beast with your words of love, and know this:

Tis better to till good soil in Hell then try to eat the golden stones of barren Heaven.

Walk on daughter, walk on.

What awaits is growth, the pain of thorns, but beauty like a flower.

And the truth, my Daughter, is this:

You have only just

Begun.

[amulet--of-yendor]

It is written in the book of The Onceler:

After the creation, the cruel god Moloch rebelled against the authority of Marduk the Creator. Moloch stole from Marduk the most powerful of all the artifacts of the gods, the Amulet of Yendor, and he hid it in the dark cavities of Gehennom, the Under World, where he now lurks, and bides his time.

Your god, The Onceler, seeks to possess the Amulet, and with it to gain deserved ascendance over other gods. You, a newly trained Tumblr User, have been heralded from birth as the instrument of The Onceler. You are destined to recover the Amulet for your deity, or die in the attempt. Your hour of destiny has come. For the sake of us all: Go bravely with The Onceler!

Don't Explain The Joke: This is a Tumblr gimmick blog that will append NetHack-type "messages" to posts.

Gimmick posts will be tagged as #cheap plastic imitation of the Amulet of Yendor. Non-gimmick posts will be tagged as #not yendor.

[praxidyke]

my latest Stupid Death was a few months ago. I was nurse dancing (no weapons no armor) in gehennom and got disintegrated by one hit from a black dragon that snuck up on me. wasted a very promising run lol

my favorite part of nethack is discovering new stupid ways to die. oops, sorry, you drowned because an eel zapped you and exploded your ring of levitation while you were standing over water. oops, you ate an egg without identifying it first and it turned you into stone. oops, you were dumb enough to put on a cursed amulet of strangulation.

[jewishhamlet]

my reasoning for jewish hamlet:

jewish hell (gehennom, which is more like xian purgatory than xian hell) lasts up to 11 months, which fits the “two months” and “twice two months” of the timeline

teshuva (atonement) is a process that requires no confession or priest or anything, only prayer, which matches claudius’ failed attempt

there is a biblical requirement to marry your brother's widow (there is an annulment process if you don't want to do it) but only if he died childless, which is clearly not applicable so hamlet is well within his rights to be pissed

forget everyone else i see a man struggling with doubts and the afterlife and i say he's jewish

is there anything more Jewish than fighting with your family and complaining a lot

like?? we really don't have a clearly outlined afterlife?? so hamlet's whole "to be or not to be" what dreams may come is-- so much more fitting

my reasoning for jewish horatio:

i love him

[2spoonsofsugar]

What do you think are some of the biggest or most common misconceptions about Judaism, Orthodoxy, and/or Chassidism in particular? (Also, good Shabbos or shavua tov, depending on whether you see this before or after Shabbat!)

(definitely not an hour before shabbos)

Gut Shabbos!!!

Oooo, so the biggest Jewish misconception is that they think frum jews are oppressive, that we have no critical thinking skills, we are still Jewish and the Jewish affinity for disagreement still applies.

The biggest Goyish misconception, is that we're just like "observant Christians". Arguments and Figuring out "why" is really important to us, we are constantly learning. We don't really believe in "Blind Faith". Oh oh oh, the biggest one is the concept of sinning and damnation, we don't Have Hell*. Teshuvah isn't "impossible".

A very unique one to where I live is that they think we're in a "vocation" (nuns, monks, friars etc.) We aren't, we don't have those.

Okay, last one. They equate Priest with Rabbi. A rabbi has no spiritual "power" over any other Jew, he is just really well-learned. We don't believe in intercession either, a Rabbi's prayer isn't more likely to be heard.*

aksjajs sorry there is just So many, i might b"n make a post motzei shabbos about different ones i have heard!!

*this isn't excluding Gehennom obviously

*ill have to clarify in reference to Tzadikim

[starlightomatic]

Concept: a chanukiah but it’s nine tiny lava lamps

Or even regular-sized... go big or go to gehennom

[tototavros]

finally managed to make it past the quest in nethack (previously i'd died trying to reach level 14) and i had thought that gehennom was pretty easy (easily taking care of orcus, asmodeus, and baalzebub, jubilex disappeared god knows where and i haven't found him yet) and i thought that i was damn near invincible

except that i just lost two amulets of life saving to arch liches because goddamn is the summon nasties powerful, like sure i can take on a dragon pretty easily, but it's different when i'm surrounded by a disenchanter, a minotaur, a master mind flayer, a winged gargoyle, an umber hulk and a cockatrice (dragons and elementals aren't that much of a problem to me since i've got magic resistance + reflection + magic canceling 2 + all resistances, including disintegration resistance)

and it's just so much going on, what do i want, do i worry about my armor being degraded, do i worry about getting stoned (haha), do i worry about getting curbstomped (both fast and slow) (minotaurs do 6d10 + 2d8, winged gargoyles do only 6d6 + 3d4 but move about twice as fast, i have 178 hp), do a try to cure confusion from the umber hulk with my unicorn horn before attacking or do i just kinda pray i hit something, and then there's the master mind flayer to keep in mind + keep an eye on my int stat because there's no amulet of life saving from that

i definitely understand why people say "play human lawful valkyrie" for new players, once i got 2 wishes (one for aols, one for sdsm), things were mostly fairly easy, get excalibur up to +7, max out strength (and then get gauntlets of power) then it was mostly just "watch out for the environment and special effects" and it was even easier after getting a cloak of magic resistance, i would just walk onto traps like they were nothing (previously, polymorph was annoying because i'd become silver dragon, and then end up wearing only silver dragon which has 6 less AC, dropping me from the solid -5 AC up to 1 AC)

[kirbymybeloved]

hey! op of the jewish hamlet post, i saw your tags and yes, i was taught the reason for saying the kaddish prayer a certain length of time after a death is because that's the maximum amount of time a neshama (soul) could spend in gehennom. i am by no means an expert though

That's so interesting! And I wouldn't know anything bc I'm a gentile who was raised with xtianity so you're more of an expert than me hahaha

Studded leather armor 5e | What makes it special?

Studded leather armor is like leather armor, but one AC purpose improved, providing three rather than two. It also supplies MC1. Despite the studs, studded leather armor does not rust, but it does, however, rot. Studded leather does not inhibit spellcasting. Therefore it’s a frequent body armor option for early wizards. Play Now

History:

Studded leather appeared in the first version of AD&D. It is leather armor with metal studying as extra defense, usually including protection of quite close-set studs.

Studded leather was among those inventory armor types from the first Rogue, in which it provided two factors of AC reduction[2], instead of three, as in NetHack; this was the same as in D&

Studded leather did not exist in Hack121. But has existed up to now PDP-11 Hack, and was contained in the Hack 1.0 release.

Generation:

Armor comprises 10% of all randomly-generated items in the main dungeon, 0 percent in containers, 12% on the Rogue level, and 20% in Gehennom. There’s a 72 at 964, or ~7.47%, chance that a randomly spawned armor object needs stud leather armor.

Studded leather armor is just one of the protective items spawned by exceptionally qualified monsters. –including all of the Yendorian army, in addition to guards and observe captains.

Origin:

Studded leather armor did not exist in history. However, there are lots of extant garments that might have motivated the thought.

That is a carry-over out of D&D.

The inspiration behind several puzzle games, as NetHack, and is seen in many games. It depends on seeing medieval artworks of brigandine armor.

That has exceptionally visible rivets on the exterior layer of velvet–but is another kind of armor entirely not typically consisting of leather. Most extant parts of the garment we’ve now include velvet, canvas, and metallic plates.

Unable to play media.

Studded Leather Armor 5e class:

It is Made out of tough but flexible leather and studded leather use close-set rivets or spikes to strengthen it.

Light armor (armor)

AC: 12

Category: Things

Item Rarity: Standard

Weight: 13

There is absolutely no actual evidence studded leather armor existed. It was purely for decorative purposes (not unlike why we frequently stud things today). Brigandine).

Druids can use Metallic armor. They choose not to wear them. This choice is part of their identity as a mysterious order. A druid typically wears leather, studded leather, or conceal armor. When a druid comes across a scale email made from a material aside from metal, the druid may wear it. Play Now

Menachem Bluming Muses: Do Jews believe in hell?

Here’s an interview that I had for a blog recently, skip this if you have already read it on their blog:

“Rabbi Menachem Mendel Bluming you lead a congregation in Potomac, Maryland and we have spoken with rabbis of other congregations. What is your perspective? Do Jews believe in hell?”

“Yes, in some way we do, but it is very different than what other religions depict it as.”

“In what way?” We asked of Bluming.

“There are no demons with tridents who poke you and burn you and there is no fire because it is not a physical place. In Jewish tradition is called Gehennom.” Bluming responded.

“Tell us more,” we were intrigued.

“Have you ever said something that you later regretted deeply? Have you ever acted in a certain way and then later relived that experience in your mind and it caused you such agony and pain to think that you would have done something like that?” Mendel Bluming asked.

“Uh- huh, we hesitantly admitted...”

Bluming continued, “when your soul leaves its physical encasement and its eyes open up to the truth it sees the incredible potential of its capability and the impact of its deeds. When the soul leaves its bodily shackles it regrets deeply the experiences and words and thoughts that deviated from its incredibly important mission. From a Jewish perspective the idea of burning in hell is the burning sense of regret and pain from missed opportunities in this world. The pain to the soul is very deep.”

Wow, very different perspective than we had heard before. We asked for more.

“This world is the world of accomplishment. One thing that I can pretty much guarantee is that you regret the words that you speak when you are very angry. Words spoken in a time of fury are very often regretted. Imagine if you screamed at your own spouse or your own child when you were angry or tired or just frustrated, imagine the pain and regret that you feel of those spoken words later. Imagine if you knew the eternal impact that each of our words and deeds have that would magnify the regret. When the soul is exposed it sees the truth so clearly and that pain of regret is what we call hell.

It doesn’t usually last long just as it does not take long for you to regret words that you spoke when you were angry. That feeling of deep regret that the soul experiences cleanses it of that experience and the soul is then purified and ready to be elevated to its eternal reward in the garden of Eden/ Gan Eden.” Menachem Mendel Bluming explained.

There you go! That was my interview! Wishing you long life and may we have very little to regret at the end...
