xinoehp512 he/him Posted April 11, 2022 Report Share Posted April 11, 2022 20 minutes ago, EmulatonStromenkiin said: The Derka smacked it, because it was his cousin.(all elemental forces are kin) The six skeins shrugged in unison. "We know only that it is the most basic, most primal force, the one we have in common. We were once one being, but we have found that we cannot REUNITE until the Witherlord is defeated, for his existence was part of our SHATTERing. We have only vague, disjointed memories of what we were before. We know better what the one whom we are calling Bob is than we know ourselves." "I have heard legends of such," the consultant replied. "Indeed... This could be exactly what we need. With his power restrained, the Witherlord will have no recourse against a mordite blade." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"It's been tried. Just about everything has. The only way to kill the Witherlord is with luxite or mordite. And luxite is no more. But we shall cross that bridge at a later date."

I require a quote for mageforged unobtanium. The Spectra warrily took the envelope from him. "We believe that that is untrue, because of the balance that we represent.

The Spectra warrily took the envelope from him. "We believe that that is untrue, because of the balance that we represent. As the saying goes, there is more than one way to kill a chasamfiend." Well... "The Witherlord cannot be killed by any ancillary substance, including mageforged unobtanium." ( Ancillary meaning non fundamental.) Any specific substance would have happened in the past, before any plot events that have been recorded here. If it's precedent you seek, you can look back at the first time the Witherlord arose, which I believe was about page 600 or so. Luxite was hailed as the sole solution to the problem back then. The envelope contained an invitation to the realm of the consultants for a planning meeting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are aware of its abilities, and its limits. But that is not relevant. We are also aware of the Chronokinetic abilities of the Witherlord, but those lay primarily in acceleration of processes. If it attempted to use those on the binding, it would actually make us complete it faster. We do not have true Chronokinetic abilities in this form, we have power over elemental energies." The skeins stopped talking, thinking of ways to limit the Witherlord. The silence stretched, even Thaidakar's Shadow remaining quiet. "We could call on a Boundless Beginning." the skeins finally offered. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
