I went to check out Hamilcrab's gigantic inventory and ended up losing everything I owned and all of the gigantic equipment my golem got when I created it. I thought, I'll just dig down with a spiral borer to avoid all the lava. Nope, I still ended up swimming in magma just trying to walk over to his shop.

Is my hotel breakfast going to explode?

Wisdom and will wanderers! I'm curious what your thoughts are on this lore idea I had. I was looking into the cultural origins of the term Nephilim and one theory is that they were giants (sometimes demons) descended from angles who interbred with humans. This made we wonder about the trope of "eating the young" that is ascribed to the Girsh. What if it isn't literally girshlings eating babies but a metaphor for the changing of the genetic makeup of humans? I'm thinking perhaps the Nephilim were the agents that introduced mutation into the human population.

The origin of mutation is an intentionally unclear part of the lore, but it has also struck me as interesting that despite the influence of Gamma World there is no environmental radiation mechanic in the game. Mutation happens by merely leveling, and while this could be a thematic expression of a world that is a constant source of mutation by radiation or some other means, it is also consistent with a genetic makeup that is itself hypermutagenic and needs no environmental source.

Some later game content:

>!I don't think the theory is contradicted by the existence of non-human sentience prior to the Gyre in the period of the Sultanate, which is clear from pre-Resheph sultan histories where a sultan could marry a plant for example. The Spray-A-Brain technology run rampant could explain that kind of uplifting. My question is specifically about the human genetic development. It's also not clear when the Moon Stair occurs in relation to the sultanate, or when the Nephilim originate, though they seem to exist in their cradles before the Gyre. I may be forgetting some reveals as I've only completed the game once.!<

Below are some passages from the wiki. I tried to keep this spoiler free since this comes up in the first quest, but if you discuss end game content please spoiler tag those.

Lore#

Towards the end of What's Eating the Watervine?, Elder Irudad describes the Girsh Nephilim as follows:

... [The Girsh Nephilim] were terrible demons who ate the young of kith and kin. Resheph slew them, but now that girshlings are back, we don't know what to make of the Nephilim.

The Nephilim are also mentioned in the history of Resheph:

In 1 BR, the Gyre widened, and the final plague afflicted the land. The Girsh Nephilim rose from their cradles on the Moon Stair and slouched toward Qud to eat its young. Resheph rose to meet them in battle and cast them back.

“Even in the understimulating, internet-less environment of prison, Bankman-Fried, 34, has found ways to indulge his old propensity for distracted multitasking. For the cost of about $135 at commissary, he bought a SCORE 7T tablet. The name stands for Secure Commitment to Offender Re-entry and Enablement and it bills itself as “a robust, purpose-built, locked-down computing device that helps persons-in-custody (PICs) pass their time constructively, improve themselves and prepare to re-enter society.” On it, one can make purchases from an eclectic selection of entertainment options, like the second movie in the Divergent trilogy or a single season of Chicago Fire. The tablet’s gaming options are “mostly really dumb,” Bankman-Fried says, with the passable exception being Shattered Pixel Dungeon, which he has now played roughly 6,000 times, almost always as the “Mage” and, according to one of his prison friends, with an unheard-of nine “challenges” running simultaneously. ”

This is where my quickness build really came together. I popped time dilation, hit my mlegs bounding boots sprint, shuffled him into the doorway, then leapt over the fence and around the outside to actually get him out of the house. Now I'm not sure what to do to keep this maniac off of the mechanimist.

>Hey boss, why do we keep this thing around, can't we chuck it at something?

>Why yes Snuffleboof, that's a great idea.

>Snuffleboof, now the whole clan is smooshed together into a bloody ball of hair and teeth.

>Snuffleboof?
