This is way better than my other idea to hijack the thread with a squad-based magical girl game based on repairing a structure of dubious purpose and origin located between the Warrens proper and its harvest entry points.

I thought you said squid based for an entire 2/3rds of your post.

You're a squid now, you're an indescribable negative emotion based horror now.

Can't it be both? Although, squid are kind of vicious, octopuses and cuttlefish might make more compelling characters, unless you want merciless homicidal death-bringers...

If not going with the consensus turns out to be an issue, you can always update less frequently. I mean, consensus probably won't change after a week of waiting.

I think you should make posts like "making turn now, too late to make suggestions" so we know when to shut up / start ranting about Lichtenstein.

There are three simple steps to solving it.

1.Think of the most complex, intricate answer ever
2.Post it on the thread
3.Realize you just wasted several hours of your life on this
4.Go outside
5.Summon computer using force powers
6.Smash it to pieces
7.Cry to the sky, wondering why you wasted this much potential on a forum game
8.Asplode
9.??.?
10.Wake up, you are in the WARRENS OF ORIC THE AWESOME, EVEN DEATH IS NOT SAFE FROM IT'S BULLSHIT PLOT!

But why DOESN'T Oric want the Target dead is a much more interesting question. Alot of possibilities have been explored, at least partially correct with some, I'd bargain. Look through, come up with a half-baked theory, winrar.

Meant to post something on this earlier but I didn't want to doublepost. Then the thread died.
Copied straight from notepad:

We don't know why this happens yet, but we know one thing: in Warrens, your body is merely a hollow shell created (and potentially ruined) by your soul. Everything "you" are is in your Soul, and your soul retains its form across class changes, gender swaps, and revivals. Everything else - your body, powers, opinions - is perfectly malleable and irrelevant.
theory: boss rooms absorb killed target's soul charge
source:
A power sought out by evil rulers and corrupt dictators for millenea. One time-wrought eye gives life, another takes it. Total control. Total domination. Total and complete power.
oversoul vs willborn?
theory: oric wants the target dead to harvest energy for the last seraphim so he can use it
theory: oric wants the target dead in spirit duel so willborn ciro/sibling happens and then the soul explodes into the flashy white circles, what's up with those? and those are absorbed by the boss room as soul energy charge for the last seraphim for oric to use to expand and maintain the warrens
http://www.bay12forums.com/smf/index.php?topic=121809.msg4485150#msg4485150

theory relating to above: transformation/purging of willborn releases soul charge, which is then devoured by the Last Seraphim
entropy, cain's story was angels wanting to solve it! angels are analogous to kyuubey!

Adventurer enters Warrens. Seraphim rips out soul of adventurer, devours charge. Soul is released, recombining with adventurer. Adventurer is Illborn.
Adventurer enters Warrens. Seraphim rips out soul of adventurer, allocates to binding. Soul is released, not recombining with adventurer. Adventurer is not illborn.

Soul stars accumulate and/or lose charge. Soul stars run out of charge. Soul star becomes Willborn. Willborn devours other souls. Willborn is defeated and explodes. Soul charge is released. This powers the Warrens.

Had more quotes and commentary in other .txt files but can't be bothered to look through my documents library to find them- luckily I stumbled upon the most relevant one anyway.
