I cant figure this out.

[Shrine of Ushnish]
In a dark, fetid alley, hard behind the Viper's Nest Inn, you happen upon a small shrine. Kicking away what appears to be rubbish from around it, you reveal a sculpted granite image of the serpent god Ushnish. Seeing that, you realize with a shudder that it is not rubbish you just pushed aside, but offerings of dead rats, uncured, fresh skins and other offal left by devotees of the viper-headed deity.
Obvious paths: out.
>push shrine to badge

I don't think pushing that would have any effect.
>push badge to shrine

I don't think pushing that would have any effect.

What am I supposed to do?

PUSH <thing> WITH badge


"Now won't you tell me if you like what you've just heard?
And if you think the point I'm driving at absurd,
Well there's no need to tell me how or tell me why,
But I need to know the reason not to try."

Keep in mind, too, that not all shrines or holy-seeming objects work with the badges.

And yes, there is the syntax thing!

I wish they were a little more obvious. Some of em are just push altar with badge, and some of em, even though there is an altar in the room description are push statue, push image, push mosaic, push lion, blah blah blah. How bout a little consistency?

The consistency is that you push the sacred object to the badge.

That's the part i've always had a problem with. Not the sacred object but pushing it to the badge. You should be pushing the badge to the sacred object. It's backwards

Just because it's stupid doesn't mean it's inconsistent. =P

The discussion just brings me back. When prayer badges were first released folks were going crazy trying to figure out the syntax, because it was so counterintuitive. I can't remember if someone figured it out, or whether the GM finally took pity on us and clued us in. Counter intuitive syntax is annoying.

When I was going through the shrines in Ratha, i noticed that some temples that had, for instance an altar AND a statue of the gods symbol were activated by pushing the altar, and some, which also had an altar AND a statue, were activated by pushing the statue.
