A! Going back to the den wouldn't help anything if the situation has changed there. Snarls can't effectively protect them from much by himself. Hopefully barking will help keep the Balls from succumbing to too much bloodlust and chasing the Norcs for hours. No question, we wipe out what we can here, but we don't need to be scouring the countryside once the actual fighting is over. We need to get the Balls back to the Den. E: Phooey!

The Pack kills many of the Silver-Bugs and some fight and those that do die as if they are prey! And many others are fleeing! AND THEY ARE RIGHT TO FLEE AND THEY SHOULD FLEE FOR THE PACK IS STRONG! STRONGER THEN ALL! WE ARE THE PREDATOR! YOU ARE THE PREY! WE ARE THE PREDATORS! YOU ARE THE PREY! FEAR US!  And the Silver-Bugs FEAR YOU AND FLEE!

Yup, really liking Asahel and Ruth. David and Ahaz, well, nothing wrong there, they're probably pretty cool too, and anything about them that isn't we can just write off as coming from their biological parents.

So, given that this happened concurrent with our PIE drain, I'm guessing that we just discovered that 1. Snarls can share our PIE as necessary 2. Snarls can spend PIE to intimidate

Well, a variant of it, seeing as how I think our Status Menu has been telling us that we CAN'T Ball Trance. Either we used Snarls as a conduit to channel ??? energy to the Balls so that they wouldn't be slaughtered like a bunch of blood soaked naked people, or, they were somehow able to draw ??? from us due to our metaphysical nature. Either way, I'm putting bets on Ishamal getting mad at us.

I feel like we should try and explain what happened anyway. It was not like we knew what was happening, I suppose we could have tried to stop the power from siphoning away, but we were not in a position to know what was happening at all. It is not hard to imagine that trying to stop was experimenting too! At least we were not (consciously) trying to channel the energy somewhere in this manner. edit: A catch 22, or a "Damned if you do, damned if you don't."

I'm fine with Ish being mad at us. We are skirting the line of experimentation. And crossing it occasionally. But this is not us out hunting monsters for money. This is us defending civilization as we know it from basically the End Times.

We need to apologize for everything ever and then climb the Mountain because we are too dumb to be trusted!" votes, but I'm not worried about Ish being mad. I can understand not using Epic Cheat Codes to hunt monsters, that's fair enough, probably leads to some major ecological imbalance. But I'll be damned if I'm not going to use our superpowers to try to protect people, especially people I care about.

the_steve posted:Oh, I never said I was worried about it. I think we'll be okay. I was in the 80% that agreed to not use magic. Because we were using forbidden powerz to get out of dumb poo poo we got ourselves into, and then lying about it. And it worked, we decided to take a few years off dumb poo poo, work on our control and generally acting like an adult, and Ish has started being more forthright with us. So has Tudiya. Great success! This situation is not us doing dumb poo poo. This is a danger to civilization itself that has been building for decades, probably longer than we've been alive. We're doing what we can to help, and trying really hard not to accidentally break the world.

Team   I have a different theory. What if declarative statements have literal power under certain conditions. We know this to be the case in the sense of power words. What if a declarative statement such as the Golem Asahel made can be empowered almost as if a power word. Words such as "EL", "LAMUT", "VAYAHI OR" don't describe something about reality. They are something. They are causal language. This would mean that the Melachim speak things into existence with a declarative language of reality, e.g. "LET THERE BE ..." Then under the right conditions normal language can function this way to some extent reinforced by Deeds. My (baseless) theory is that we empowered the Golem Asahel's declarative statement. Then this was reinforced with actual Deeds. It's going to be interesting to hear other accounts of the action. It may turn out that it seemed as if we were there to some, or some other manifestation. It may have seemed that way to the Norcs.
