Kaviiq would you be able to throw in? Sheppard has a hypothesis to test about whether the monsters will be interested in Todd or not.
Super market adventure time!
Yeah sure. I'm out right now, so I'll tag when I get back.
My thinking was that with his enhanced senses (night sight, etc.), he'd be better able to avoid monsters.
But I'm all for IC experimentation.
Also, just in case Wraith stunners don't work on the monsters, Todd is the only one of the crew who's physically capable of killing the monsters with a knife.
Assuming the knife is sharp/strong enough to penetrate monster hides. It's still only steel.
Most of the ones he's not going to be able to get are only out at night when it's foggy.
Of the ones that are around in the daytime, I think the corpseflowers are the only ones he won't be able to get with the knife.
...I think maybe I'll have them run into some babypedes in this thread.
... Whoever else goes with them is in for a treat. And by 'treat' I mean front row tickets to one incredibly vicious fight.
I'll have to get to this tomorrow. My brain is not braining, and I have my first volcanology test tomorrow.
And Sheppard will probably be secretly very gratified at watching Todd stab the shit out of monsters when this post really gets going.
Since I'm procrastinating reading up on some of the monsters - do you suppose Wraith telepathy would have any effect on some of the monsters, good or bad?
And by "good" I mean like being able to tell them to fuck off, and by "bad" I mean broadcasting his location to things.
I think the former human monsters would be able to pick up on it.
Which reminds me,
crossthesky do you have Cross-Eyed Mary's description saved anywhere? I need to add her to the bestiary
Oh yeah, I have it, but she wasn't added to the posted bestiary on purpose.
I'm going to make a section for her - and some other stuff that is connected but I don't want to mention publicly - once more game stuff happens.
I'm going to put Larry up here. That okay?
crossthesky okay I will go ahead and delete the edit I made
since I just set up a "Unique Monsters" section so we could add her without going into the other stuff
...Will Larry be coming home to Flagg?
eeexcellent.
Oh, and... Will he recognize him?
envy_the_sinners: Oooh, I dunno. That's a good question. I'm using the same PB I've been using. Do you think Larry would recognize him? If only by the waves of deathmetal essence that roll off him.
lmao he probably won't get it at first, but he might pick up before he actually hears the name.
Okay, cool
Yeah, the simple fact of this guy, like, hanging all over Nadine might tip one off.
And he knows the guy is some sort of magic, so...
I'm all
Me too
Are we going to have this be unthreaded, or give Sheppard separate short conversations with Larry and Todd before we throw all three into a combined thread with monsters/the supermarket?
I think I like the latter option.
There could be some overlap, too - like opening a separate thread for Larry and Todd to size each other up.
