We didn't get one last fight.

I really wouldn't call it suicide. It's far from certain to succede, but in he is not that likely to kill us in one try either and we can heal well.

It is also worth noting that the Devourer likely heals no way as quickly as we do.

It is a creature of Death with a form based on a parasitic lifeform. If we do not give it time to gain power from the suffering of living beings, we should be able to capitalise on the wounds we'e already inflicted.

Is there a possibility to set up a trap for the devourer at the funeral boats? @Azel It would literally just be the sea below and the sky above. If we work with the skychild and our herald we have numerical and home advantage.

The Devourer only attacks the boats when they have already sunk deep into the water, most likely to prevent the Sky Child from interfering. It also keeps bailing whenever it detects your presence and comes back later to feed on the carrion.

So, unless you pick up a way to hide your presence from it, most likely not. It's not a dumb animal acting on instinct, but some form of sentient, divine entity. It just has no interest in communicating non-violently with you.

We do need more prep.
Devourer may have power, but it's us who are growing. He only feeds on scraps of others.

If it's far from certain to succeed then we should spend a turn building our strength and stacking the odds, not wasting power on an attack that's not going to work.

Our options to prepare seem pretty limited.
Do you see any, besides getting the Healing domain which we already do?

Even if we don't succede in hunting it now, we can at least hope to wound it and then heal ourselves and our ally and minion faster than it can restore itself.

And if we protect the dead, we would essentially starve it, making it easier to deal later.

Depends, we need to take into account that he essentially became part of our myth, something like Ra and Apopis in Egypt.

Basically what i want to say is that fear is a faith in it's own way . So he might be getting power from that .

So long as we have the healing domain we should at least be able to heal the Sky Child well it fights the Devourer on the island, and if the Devourer is pushed out to sea we can fight it with our herald, and heal us both. So, I'd rate the fight on the island to have the same odds as the fight we had in the ocean earlier, and a fight in the ocean to have better odds than that.

Explore the sea so we know where he can hide/run and protect the dead to deny it power and starve it.

If it did then we are not going to kill it anyways, since the people would just constantly bring it back.

I would actually find that level of symbiotic relationship most interesting, like Raava and Vaatu of avatar . Stuck in eternal conflict but unable to exsists without each other.

That just sounds like a perpetual pain in our ass.

Plus, we don't need the Devourer, it was literally a parasite that grew from eating our scraps.

Strengthening our hold over our territory should give us some advantages to dealing with its incursions, imo. Best case scenario we make steps in advancing the sea domain.
 
Switching since this plan is gaining more traction.

Why do y'all wanna fuck around and find out so bad?
 
Given further discussion preparation sounds wise, I do think it wise that we actually gain the Healing Domain and hold it for a turn before going to fight, since gaining a Domain seems quite draining.

That's one to try and level up our sea domain I guess. Shame, we didn't bless the explorers or do any healing though but whatever.

I'm hoping that by blessing the shrine it can provide healing for the people that visit.

I'm kind of hoping we have a repeat of what happens when they gather for that healing festival, and we appear so that we can get some more power, to be honest, but I'll take auto-healing as well since that's almost the same thing mechanically.
