Hey, people on mission 21: That thing uses symbols and movement, right? It's like it's focused on appearance and theatrics. And which skill concerns itself with those sorts of things? Charisma. Therefore, your best chance of success is speech rolling it and/or challenging it and its puppets to a dance off.

The big problem is that I don't think communication is possible with it. It's alien, after all.

Then again, indeed, dance off is culture/species-transcendent.  :P

It's simple. He's got people holding hands and dancing in circles. Make a similar circle and start dancing counter-clockwise! He will be confused and unable to choose a circle. Thus his ritual will fail. Problem solved!

Besides, a 6 in a speech roll is also universal and all-powerful. It's proof that everyone in the HMRC is a wizard: They can alter reality merely by speaking and making gesture (or even merely attempting to do so.).

We're getting into an odd variant of the ontological argument in M21.

Did that guy just tear out Ulrich's exotic ability? Or just his brain?

Neither, but the latter is closer.

Well, you mentioned that it looked odd like the barrier, and that whatever has possessed Morul yanked on the power coming out of him ... no, the 'intent' ... (like what happened to the Origin?)

Are you trying to stop me asking questions? Because it feels like you are trying to stop me asking questions.  :)

Because trying to stuff Fate/Whatever's engrish and the title of a 17th century book on statecraft into Pokemon syntax tends to make the content incomprehensible.

My bet is that "thing" is the ER universe's God, part of it, at least, while the thing possessing the body is a god from another universe, using that space to set itself to this universe's rules, that's why the black suddenly turned into magical glass, in the ER universe, that combination of atoms doesn't work, so it just vanishes.

maybe it yanked out the metaphysical and/or transdimensional space magic organs from his brain?

it fits with what piecewise said, and the fact it cant be comprehended might because it isnt supposed to physically exist.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.
