You know, chaos influence is one of the few things that might cause scion to show up in Brockton Bay, he is specifically ment to deal with external treats to the cycle, which this very much classifies as
also you are lucky this was Khorne and not Tzeench, Lisa would fall like a sack of bricks to him

You're right. Scion *IS* meant to deal with anything that might cause issues with the cycle. The problem is that Scion is currently depressed to the point of indifference, and doesn't really care much about what's currently happening unless it involves cats in trees, or his Endbringers being under attack. Anything else, unless it makes a really big splash, can be safely ignored from his, very very limited, point of view.
Unfortunately not

Unless I'm badly misremembering, there's explicit WoG to the effect that the Entities do not have access to magic. And even if they did have magic, that magic isn't coming from the host parahuman themself, it's coming from their shard/agent, so sacrificing the parahuman on the anvil still wouldn't accomplish much, in any case.
EDIT: Just noticed OR saying that the anvil will work, oops
Or one of the 4 whispers something to him that registers. And suddenly he's building skull thrones/making books from the skin of everyone in Paris/infected everyone in Mexico with Nurgle's rot/Slaanesh.
You know, Taylor would probably be able to take those bombs out of people, possibly with a chunk of the surrounding tissues, and just kind of leg it, or yeet it, away from them fast enough to avoid catching them in the blast-radius. Would probably need to rope a healer like Amy or Othala into things, and possibly a Tinker, who I'm thinking would be L33T since he's the most disposable and has the broadest specialty, to identify the payload.
Based.
Unsurprising...
And she decided to get those extra eyes instead of just never touching it? Progress.
I would have assumed that there would be a lot more selection criteria based on biome conditions?
I assume that this should read "Contracts".
It'd honestly just be landing with finesse instead of a splatter; not important at all really, or at least not for her.
I feel like Taylor here, who has the strength of at least twenty teenage girls, the leverage of god, as many diamond-sharp teeth (a la Macuahuitl or Piranha teeth, presumably to use like a manual chainsaw) as she can make, all a order of magnitude better at cutting then should be possible, and the ability to corrode through things at will, and a times-two-hundred/times-one-thousand crafting-speed multiplier, should have been able to clear a trail a bit more quickly then that.
Like, that's assuming that she cuts through the trunk of any trees in her way as well; a hour of trail-clearing for Taylor would be, like, several days of that for anyone else, and that's before tools come into it.
Bear meat is apparently unpalatable, because they taste like their diets, but that could have been a bear-skin rug.
Actually, Rachel would probably have appreciated the meat for her dogs. Bugger.
Also, apparently Black Bears taste the best? Because they're on the more herbivorous side of being omnivorous? Apparently Brown Bears also taste similarly some time around hibernation? I guess that it makes their diet similar or something?
Well that's somewhat less useful then it could have been, but alright.
What was that meant to be? Analyzing atmospheric conditions for human-made pollution? [Negotiator] noticing something about the sun/stars/atmosphere that indicates that it's infinite?
That's the sort of vague understanding that I'd expect from this particular Taylor. Maybe a bit undermined by a incongruous lack of economic knowledge.
What, along with every other thing in the world?
Bitch you are a Nazarickian Slime; dissolve the skin that's stuck to the door, pick her up, and fuck right off.
Edit: probably mesh some of her skin to replace it. Particularly because Taylor is liable to not Plentimaw-synthesize a compatible graft.
That aside though, good-o; a Parahuman-salvaging device; not only is that useful, but with how poor Taylor's decisions tend to be it'll probably even end up being used.
Probably good for at least recycling Coil. Maybe also the Empire members; Othala could be useful for healing people.
Might be a bit grim to bring someone to it alive and then kill them though. Do you think that Taylor could just pick the anvil up and kill someone with it to sacrifice them "on it"? What am I saying; it's Khorne.
Never mind; back to uselessness.
Practical shape I suppose.
Oh, cool, it's got a secondary benefit; just straight up quality-improvement for anything that can be forged by hammer. Might be a thought to make a knife-set or something. Maybe also a pan? Even if it needs to be a weapon pans are probably weaponizable enough.
Wait, no, I misread that; it's specifically forged weapons. Still might be able to forge some stuff.
Yeah, probably a decent idea.
Depends whether they're effecting their environment or each other.
I mean, Khorne would point that out regardless of whether it was true; Chaos likes their cheap insinuations like that.
Nah; the Eight Winds Of Magic are from a specific source, which doesn't exist in Earth Bet; that shit's effectively quarantined for now.
She can probably just Plentimaw that shit. She can probably do the same thing with most objects capable of fitting in her throat.
That...Actually makes sense. Huh.
Tinker-abilities might translate oddly, given that Tinker-abilities are focused on instructions and capabilities rather then directly supplying resources...Then again, weapons that whisper secret knowledge to people are pretty common in Warhammer.
Not even that dissimilar to how Warhammer magic works anyway.

Maybe, but the workshop does have a connection to the Empyrean now. Chaos energy does like to leak through portals, which the workshop also has now.
Also Lisa touched a chaos artifact, with zero protections. That's asking for a mutation.

A weapon that lets you attack in two different ways at once, and whichever one they don't block is the "real" one.
Don't forget that Othala can give out regeneration, invulnerability, and super-speed. A weapon that grants those to the wielder would be insane.
Yeah, maybe. It wouldn't have any local resources to convert though, so it'd have a bitch-and-a-half of a time doing it.
Might have gotten stained with a bit of Earthbound Magic yeah. I'm sure that she could figure out how to remove it though.
Khorne would twist magical abilities like that wouldn't he? Fheck, there go the Timelines...
Or to the enemy if she's particularly bored.
Edit:
Hold de fhecken phone. I think that the Perk description might not have been missing a word; I think that it might have meant that it grants a magical ability to a weapon, instead of granting a weapon with a magical ability.

I shudder at the waste of points. Then again, I'd hate to get anything from WH40K or WH fantasy. Either are asking for more trouble than they are worth.
Sighs. I forget how much Taylor likes to ignore things. If it is not slapping her in the face, she will happily ignore it. No thoughts of using most of what she has. Just ignore it. I see needing to put some signs up. Don't Enter Mastering Anvil of Doom.
I'm fairly certain this is the last time that they'll ever enter the room.
They'd never get Bitch and her dogs out of there if they moved them there. One good thing though is that Bitch would have to scout around and scavage for food.

She'd probably come back to raid dog-fighting rings. She'd probably also want a few shelters around the place.

Which is it, you want to complain about Taylor not making use of resources, or you want to complain about WoGs about our of context meaning shit in a story that turned basic omni-existence across timelines and turned it into a very neat 'view coil's simulations' narrative device?
Just take the W assuming Taylor ever uses it.
Just take the W assuming Taylor ever uses it.
Nobody here is complaining about Optimal Robotics not making use of resources.
Edit: what I have not seen anyone here discuss is whether [Behold Haxcalibur] would apply to [Khorne's Anvil]-forged/enchanted weapons; weapons with the abilities of Parahumans is one thing, but weapons with ten times the abilities of the Parahuman they're from is quite another.
Edit: on a far more mundane note, Taylor should totally take up smoker-cooking. Any cooking that can take up large amounts of time really; something that she can cook in less then a minute. Like, even "leave cooking overnight" type of things. Maybe also Sous-Vide-ing stuff? That's meant to take a long time.
Since she can throw multiplicatially more time at cooking then other people it'd probably be a good idea for her to know the Log Reduction of bacteria by cooking temperatures/times by heart.
Might be worth trying to brew wine or something as well, and not even necessarily for the product; just for something to do with all of the time. You can ferment wine in a period of one-to-three weeks, which for Taylor would be less then a day. Less then half a day even, from my Napkin Math, if barely.
To properly refine it though, to "soften" it's flavor-profile, you'd want to remove Sulfides and Tannins and introduce wood flavors, the former of which Taylor could probably do manually, via Slime shenanigans, and the later of which could be done in a number of ways, such as using vacuum-boiling or ultrasonic exposure to diffuse the wood into it more quickly.
Notably, [Behold Haxcalibur] would presumably make it on average more potent, as capable of getting you drunk even if not as actually high in alcohol, then Brandy.
Edit: Tepache. Taylor should totally make Tepache at some point, along with other fermentation-carbonated sodas. It takes three days to properly ferment, which for Taylor would be about one-and-a-half hours (slightly less since she's got a times-fifty multiplier), so it'd be a good blend of same-day production and not being shockingly immediate.
Making some pickles would probably also be pleasantly time-intensive; "Cucumbers can be ready to eat after as little as 1 to 3 hours of pickling, particularly if using a "refrigerator pickle" method. However, for optimal flavor and texture, they can be best after 3 days to a week, with flavor continuing to develop for up to 6 months.". Apparently it takes as long as the wine to really develop a flavor though.
Edit: jerky could also be fun to make ultra-fast; that takes a few hours, which, for Taylor, would be a few minutes.
Moving on from food and onto another time-intensive animal-product though, that being leather-production; Jesus fucking Christ that's a process to go from skin to leather.
Putting aside cleaning processes, you've got to Lime it (anti-pickle it in a Alkali solution), Delime it, ferment it (Called "Bating" it), finally pickle it, finally, now that it's molecularly "open" enough, introduce softening/preservation agents to it ("Tanning") while it's pickling, and then unpickle it, and there's a whole bunch of secondary processes that you can do on the side, and possibly then "Crust" it, which seems to be primarily supplemental treatments that you can do, some of which are equivalents to some done before Tanning, either to further treat them or to make up for a failure to do so earlier, and others which seem to be to shape the product.
There's also, of course, the oiling, and otherwise polishing, stage at the end, but that's kind of a secondary stage; it's putting a protective coating onto it.
I might be slightly exaggerating how big of a pain in the ass it was to figure all of this shit out
Those Tanning molecules, by the way, can be many things, from some Chrome-based salt or something (I wasn't paying much attention) to just straight up Tannin, the molecule that's in tea and shit; goofy-looking duck-foot of a molecule.
Interestingly, I bet that, with [SCIENCE!], Taylor could synthesize Tannin. Probably Lime as well, since that seems to mostly just be Calcium Oxide, though the Liming process seems to involve some supplemental agents.
Additionally Taylor might just be able to synthesize microfiber leather-substitute materials, possibly even ones made out of Tropocollagen fibrils. She'd still probably have to include the Tanning agents to retain flexibility and other leather-like properties if she did though; presumably it'd end up like Rawhide or Parchment if she didn't.
Edit: theoretically Taylor might be able to just dissolve everything but the Collagen fibers in leather, and possibly Keratin if she wanted to keep any attached hair, and then just kind of physically loosen the remaining fibers in order to introduce the Tanning agents.
Frankly not only might it be better to make a man-hour intensive hobby out of making a textile out Lotus Silk, being originally something of a Veblen Good in terms of production-time, but it might take less time then leather as well.

Nice to see the other aspects of Khorne's domain represented every once in a while other than MURDER MURDER KILL KILL MURDER MURDER.
Considering that, not too surprised about Khorne forging souls into weapons. There's an entire section of his realm known as the Soul Forges.
Angron beat a Slaaneshi Daemon Prince with an bar of iron until it became the Blade of the False Gladiator. Khorne probably laughed, I sure did!
Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn!

Would the Anvil Of Khorne's effects apply to knapped weapons?
Edit: alright, looking at the description of the Perk itself it states that "Weapons that are hammered into shape in this anvil will be of masterwork quality regardless of the metals used, and they are eternally sharp and will never wear and tear.", which means that merely doing something like sculpting material with a hammer would probably not work, but it does not state that what the materials are being hammered with actually has to be a hammer, so Taylor could very probably Knap materials into shape upon that hammer.
The requirement of those materials being metals though would probably be a bit more restrictive, unless she used something like metallic glass.
Regardless of that though, once Taylor made a few weapons she could probably repurpose the motions used in forging them for non-weapon related forging processes.
Also, I wonder whether The Anvil Of Khorne could be used for Stamping in order to make things like Razor Blades.
Edit: like, them being weapons aside, a Master Crafted ever-sharp order-of-magnitude-sharper-then-normal razor-blade would probably be amazing to shave with, as long as you were extremely careful with the amount of pressure you used.
