It's a Girl's World -- And Lilly wants Adventure

Oh, a question for you: was Ev's implication that "if she could unlock even one" implicative of the capability to theoretically unlock more than one Foundational Ethos if she did? Or does that require intercession that we now can't get?

I think it was said that the level ups we will gain with the foundational ethos would work more like choosing a new ethos than upgrading one. Which means we will potentialy get more foundationals as the [Towering Edifice to Heaven] grows.

Yeah, I think it's adding new Sources and possibly the Gimmicks every time our Foundation levels up?

We know that [Rapid Iterator] comes with E...

hang on a second.

The murderarrow, it used Pithe

Does that mean [Rapid Iterator] is a fucking level 2 Foundation? Essence/Flow/Pithe?

How the hell did it accumulate that much fucking Gravitas before anyone noticed!?!
 
I figured it was a human that the Dungeon corrupted that shot that Pithe arrow. Like what was happening with Lilly's dad. Maybe a hunter went into the forest and didn't come back. They were captured and corrupted by the Dungeon. Maybe the Dungeon captured a different human with a wilderness focus Ethos with a Flow source, a [Woodsman] Ethos? That seems like a Flow Ethos that could exist and be one of those approved ones.

Maybe the dungeon is able to make use of the Ethos of people it has captured and corrupted?

Surprisingly, I think that nobody has explicitly talked about this before.

Hmmm, should we be worried for the possibility that the dungeon took some of our father's powers and used them in the two days his body was basically under its command?

Actually, if possible we should control the number of how many people actually died or disappeared. If we have the resources and the numbers don't match, then we have a problem in our hands.

...Didn't Yolun drop like ten levels during that time period? Yeah, just re-checked and he definitely lost eight levels. The Rapid Iterator draining people's Ethos seems like it's an actual thing.

Shoot, Yolun has a mana Ethos. We should be prepared for the local dungeon to be throwing mana at us now.

It think it was us since the 1.12 status sheet for heartstaff says "I took something from dad when I bound this to me" and we bound the heartstaff in 1.10.

Edit: That scene in where we bound the heartstaff to us is why I think why DwtF got the Legend source in that chapter. It seems somewhat similar to Marigold's blood murder concepts thingeys. But I'm basically repeating myself from this post.

Yolun's level drop was probably from Lilly taking {Collective Communion} and connecting to the {Heartstaff}. Honestly I'm thinking {Heartstaff} incorporated some of Yolun's Ethos, [Iteration to Perfection], within itself. Something similiar to how {Relations} Perfect Seedling would work.
 
... Still, it does suggest that this might be what it's doing...

Oh christ, if it got Yolun's woodworking powers on top of everything else...
 
Writing continues, some scenes are taking longer than I thought.

You'll get a concrete look at a more Legend slanted use of the Dream for at least one scene. Truths are spoken, tears are shed, new paths lay open. Opportunities thought far off turn out to maybe be far closer.

A Dungeon can have many rooms.

Progress Update: I'm up to the Myah scenes.
Writing continues apace, I don't always do all my rolls ahead of time these days. Keeps the spice alive while I'm writing if I don't know how the next few scenes will go.



Edit: 01/03/21
Only a couple more scenes to go. Overwhelming bulk of the writing is done. Probably only about another 5K to do.

Myah: No, Lilly, you don't understand, my Ethos...if I tell you or anyone else about it, nothing will ever be the same.
Lilly: Alright, cool, let's hear it.
Myah: Are you listening to me!? If anyone finds out, my life might be in danger, I might have to leave town-
Lilly: Been there, done that, got a souvenir rose from a monster in human form. Let's get on with it.
 
Aww shit guys, I might have figured out the last secret challenge right at the finish line!

It's a warning

Pithe is inflexible to the point where altering even a single power, to still work in a similar direction but angled offensively instead of defensively nearly fucked us up bad, to the point of requiring a frankly insane DC to avoid getting something nasty.

"Limited Flexibility", "Stronger but doesn't work outside its scope at all".

So, what happens if we get a second Pithe Ethos?

Since Pithe is described as a 'Resonance', what happens if you're running two separate resonances in the same vessel at the same time?

Nothing good, considering it almost snapped like a twig with a relatively small alteration. How badly would it go if we try to impose multiple Pithe based synergies by grabbing a second Pithe Ethos?

Not well, I imagine.

I think it might still be possible to get two Pithe Ethos and not die. Using two Pithe Ethae at the same time, however, is probably going to be very bad. Given how badly Pithe reacts to any alterations to its base parameters.
