Time of the Gods: Into the Amber Age

[X] Hid it in the jug, saving the rest for later.

If this is the metaphysical equivalent of the drink that managed to knock Harzivan out, then I want to keep it and somehow stuff the Crone with it,

even if it's not the full drink it should keep her out of it long enough for us to weaken her power base and strengthen ours,

And if she will be so drunk as I think she will be (to the point that she will go straight into sleep) then we might even get away with stealing (somehow) the Lock for Saiga

Hmm...I dont know how smart "hide the metaphysical drink formed in the domain of the Great One, to steal what's left" is...but i also don't know how smart drinking it is :p

If the drink did something other than putting the lion to sleep, I'd go for it. But really, I'd rather be awake now; going to sleep at this point feels like ceding too much control over where/when we get out, and I'm not fond of the feeling.
 
If we go to sleep, we might wake up to a time skip.

"No, modern day citizens, it is I! Gaerig!" And then we rise out of the ocean like Octopus-mermaid Godzilla.
 
"Little Gaerig, go with my blessing, and know things as they are," says the Wolf God. "May moonlight illuminate your path."
Isn't that the description for the Mysticism skill?

You bow your head, knowing there is significance in the gesture
Yep. We now know the ritual symbolism!
As you climb, you can see a woman on the other side of the river, beautiful and decadent, picking berries from the earth as she displays herself for all to see. She meets your gaze, and sensing danger you flinch away, glad she cannot reach you from here.
Hi River Mother. I guess if we took the boat we'd have to deal with her instead.
You nod hesitantly, and the woman frees you from the web, but does not show you the way out. For many days her hands roam about the form you've given yourself, and you learn much of her practiced wiles.
Perform Trickery Up.

Learned from a pro!
With a sudden, incredible bloom, the seed grows into a tree of incredible proportion and material, and even though it's golden leaves touch the lapping flames, they do not burn. It's silver branches do not char, and it's trunk of amber and electrum are wards against the heat. You hear the sound of the gears once more, and the tree bows, the trunk splitting curiously. There is a knot you can crawl into, and within you see the stars and the night sky.
Hi Treebaby!

Only reason I'm voting for this is because the drink causes sleep. We're a Fear Spirit. Sleep shouldn't be a thing for us.

Purely thematic, even though I wonder if we'd pick up Traits like Faith Spirits do...

No rest for the wicked!

I'd note that sleep DOES protect us from the Crone, Sleep grants a variety of powerful protections, and we can intentionally sleep our Shrine rating up if it can knock out a Fear Spirit...just that even odds that drinking something potent enough to knock out Harzivan might outright dematerialize us instead of sleep.
