Transcript
Haliya: I'm sorry! I just miss my little brother so much!
Cruz: It's fine.
Haliya: How about a hug to say I'm sorry?
Cruz: Now what do we do with Bakunawa's serpent form?
Haliya: Oh, um... she's a shapeshifter, but she's cursed to stay like that.
Keith: Then let's try breaking her curse!
Hibi-Hibi: If I recall, we can...
[Ask the curser to remove the curse]
Haliya: I've tried. Kan-laon's not gonna budge on that.
Tammy: Isn't that a volcano?
Hibi-Hibi: The volcano is named after the supreme god in this part of the land. Actually, we're near said volcano!
[Cause or wait for the curser to die. Or force them to remove it]
Haliya: He's more powerful than me, and I don't like this method.
Cruz: Aren't you a goddess of war?
Haliya: Warrior goddess. I fight if I have to, not revel in warfare.
[Overpower the curse]
Keith: Bakunawa is still cursed until now so... she can't?
Haliya: Yes, and even if the two of us somehow work together, it's likely still too powerful.
[Use a spell, ritual, or item to break it]
Myan: Can't you make one Hibi?
Hibi-Hibi: I'm not as strong as a god, and I doubt something conveniently potent like that exists. Even if there's one, we don't have the time to search for it.
[Fulfill the conditions of the curse, if there's any]
Haliya: Ah, she has to "stop coveting the moon". The curse is her punishment for attempting to eat the moon after all.
Cruz: Oh, so she's grounded.
Keith: Good luck trying to convince a big angry snake...
[Wait out the curse's duration]
Haliya: It's for eternity...
Tammy: Woof.
Keith: Well, this is looking hopeless...
Tammy: Don't say that!
Or invoke the Serpent God / Godess and ask Him / Her to fire Bakunawa, I suppose.
I hope she has benefits if she gets fired.
Is it stop coveting the moon forever or just a moment?
Well, he said looking hopeless. He didn’t say it is hopeless.
True, but he wouldn’t know it.
They could try to convince her that breaking their curse will break her own? I’m not sure how that’d work, but it’s a thought.
She’s too pouty/angry to reason with for now. Ever been grounded
foreveror punished? You should know the feeling, even if you know it’s your fault.An eternity to live, an eternity to serve. Time mans little to those who choose not to spend it among the mortal.
Yeah, and this is why I feel gods get eternal punishments, but at least have an out.
