Snarls has become incredibly articulate! Someone wanted to teach him to count, saying he was clearly intelligent enough. As I recall we did in fact try to teach him to count and the problem wasn't intelligence, but rather that he found it useless and boring.

Blooded men fighting is so goddamn cool. I dig how Uriah got an upgrade to Firebolt.

As I recall we did in fact try to teach him to count and the problem wasn't intelligence, but rather that he found it useless and boring. Even normal animals have some numerical sense. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/how-animals-have-the-ability-to-count/ http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2012/08/120829-black-bears-cognition-animals-science/ If one group had 12 things and another group had 16 things, Snarls could probably tell us which group has more things despite not knowing the words for 12 or 16. He's smarter than the average bear, so he might even be able to learn to count up to 20 or 100. I doubt he'd be able to learn to look at (or smell) an army and accurately estimate how many thousands of creatures it contains. Dog brains don't work like that. Trying to teach him simple math would take hundreds of hours away from other projects (unless he's a secret melechim and just pretending that he can't count , in which case he might learn very quickly or refuse to "learn" math at all.)

I don't think he needs to know how to count exactly, but some words for different orders of magnitude would be handy. Right now and army of hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands are all 'many lots'. He should be capable of distinguishing the difference between those extreme differences in numbers, but he doesn't have the vocabulary to express it. I don't think it should be too hard to at least get him to be able to tell the difference between a few hundred, or ten thousand enemies.

Maybe we could suggest comparisons between the populations of Zepath and Kavodel, and how while they both have a lot of people, one has a lot more. See if he's able to make estimates based off familiar figures like that?

I think Enkidel needs to invent allowances, and then give Ash a raise in his.

Guys, why are we trying to leave? We're Enkidel's eyes and ears out here. They might just be trying to trick us. And I would not be the least bit surprised if Snarls was the conduit in which fresh hot [PIE] gets channeled to the Balls. We run off, and they lose their StuntBall Trance.
