"Do you know how much effort it normally takes to craft a platter of truth and lies that will so haunt a mortal that they will spend the rest of their days trying their best to decorticate it? But you and yours who have so wonderfully usurped the Sword of Tlanxla have so twisted your own minds that I could say anything or nothing and you will dwell obligingly on it forever. If I said 'I like your hat' - and I really, really do - you will wonder, is this an example of the pettiest of statements for you to nevertheless obsess over, to demonstrate that I can command your mind through only your ears? Or am I making a deeper statement about how truly it pleases the Lord of Sorcery for a witch to wear the garb of those that would hunt her? Am I masking truth in lies, or lies in truth? Would it only be a truth if you decide it a lie, or only a lie if you decide it a truth? Or is eternal indecision that which I seek?"
The thread just got enough fuel to argue over for a hundred pages and a month.
For those wondering, this refers to Belkor, the first major mortal follower of Chaos and cursed to always appoint a Special Boy without ever getting to be one himself.The First Betrayer sobs his fury for all to hear, knowing that the time will soon come again when he will crown one that might achieve what he could not and will never.
WTF does this even mean? Has it got to do with the old ones?
We can, Mathilde won't.Are we supposed to care about whatever that thing said? Just shrug and move on.
More like she's only just been made aware that she's in the running
We made a hole in reality and someone feathery decided to look through it and ruin our mood.
"know" is missing here. Which, of all the words to be left out of a temptation by the Eyes of Tzeentch, is an appropriate one. Told so many things, but what do we know?
Ulgu, the story of Verena stealing the Sword from the 4.
It is exactly that! He knew exactly what he needed to due to fuck with her head. A small gift and words that will stick with her forever.
Another temptation. Simply drops the words of 'Sword of Tlanxla'. What does that mean? What could it even do? Another mystery laid out for a mystery seeker that is a ever gnawing curiosity.
And isn't that a terrifying thought, that after all this time our character is in the running for next everchosen, technically the one that's suppose to finally "win" as well.More like she's only just been made aware that she's in the running
Yeah pretty much.
So will we be able to try again with the Vitae or will it make a warp portal every time?
Explain-Expand-Exposinate???
Honestly seems like a horrible idea. Cause we know what route they will take to resolve that issue.Ah shit that's not good
We're probably going to have to report this to our superiors
I don't think there's anything in particular about this that suggests a mutation, unless we continue hearing words after this update.She managed to seal the hole, but picked up at least one mutation in the process.
Mathilde accidentally opened a hole to Literally Hell and got super-tempted by a bird, but she evacuated the magic of the Room (thanks, Room of Calamity), and then forced the rift closed (or possibly, closed it down infinitesimally, the exact wording leaves that room for ambiguity, though we'll surely know next update).
I wonder if this is a deliberate mistake or if he actually doesn't know we know she's still alive.. You have tasted the millennia of curdled hate of the Briarmaven of Woe, and struck her down when she left her beloved shadows to finally act.
Well it depends I don't think we'll be pacified but at the very least our fellow greys are going to look over our mind,body and soul very closely. And we should probably let them as well.Yeah pretty much.
I wonder if asking to be Pacified is too far, or not enough...
Don't know about that. If someone hears that we're a promising candidate for the 13th everchosen they might just kill us out of precaution.
Fated: +20 to spellcasting in the presence of Tzeentchian sorcery, ??? when spellcasting in the presence of Tzeentchian sorcery.
