"Say, are these guys worth anything to us alive? Piecewise could probably knock 'em out pretty fast if need be..."

[Dunamisdeos]

Let's keep Esme at distance/lookout and see if piecewise and ourselves can handle the wetwork.

"Say, are these guys worth anything to us alive? Piecewise could probably knock 'em out pretty fast if need be..."

No, probably not, unless one turns out to be unique gifted somehow. Nothing they can tell us that we can't learn from devouring their souls as it is.

Hmm, taking down five quickly might be hard with our current resources. Unless...

Hmm, maybe we should get something like a stake that we can stick into a body quickly and use as the core for a puppet. Gives us another option for use in combat.

What we do should depend on how many we have to take out, so let's plan to scope that first. If it's only two or three, we can probably shiv them quickly and quietly between ourself and Piecewise. If it's more, things will probably get loud anyway so we should use the gun.

+1, also have Esme at range to reduce the risk of losing our main protector/source of information/link to Kelley

"Well, thats reasonable. If you like I guess we can just go stake it out and make a plan once the number of soldiers is known.  As per a melee weapon for you that you can use as a core....Not sure. Does that trick of yours work if they're still alive?"

You respond that you're not really sure.

"Hmm then probably any reasonably sized knife could work, assuming you can get it into their heart or throat or somewhere it will kill them pretty quick. But even a knife to the heart takes 20-30 seconds to kill, sometimes a lot longer depending. If that reanimation doesn't work on still living tissue then a stab and control combo might not be very practical. Anyways, I got an old bayonet, one of those triangular spike types that only works as a bayonet and not as a knife.  Would that be good enough for your purposes?"

[Naturegirl1999]

Yes, that seems good
Begin the stakeout

[Egan_BW]

Doesn't have to be the same tool that kills and gets used as the core. The point is that the goal is to make corpses. If we successfully make one or two corpses but hit an obstacle before finishing the rest, it'll be worth having something on hand to quickly turn a corpse into a combat asset.
For that purpose... Just about anything we can shove into the body quickly should work.

Say that we hit three soldiers in the street. Piecewise takes down one with his knife and the other two back off into a warehouse. We know they're cornered, but they have SMGs and are ready to shoot at whatever comes in and we don't want to risk ourself or our most valuable minion in an assault. We could make a puppet of the one soldier we downed and have a somewhat expendable body to attract fire so that we can finish off the rest before backup comes.

We'll take the bayonet and keep it on our person.

Additional question: we got just one revolver, right? Do we want to carry that ourself or give it to Piecewise? The skeleton will probably be more precise with it, but maybe we want a decent weapon to protect our own squishy ass.

On the subject of knife-staking... a brain-stab should kill pretty quick yes? Stab somebody through the eye, twist the knife around a bit, pull it out again, then do the heart-stake thing.

Also:
Keep the revolver. Ask Esme to help us assimilate some material on marksmanship before we go.

[Dunamisdeos]

I mean how dead does something need to be? You can stab em in the brain, but body itself is alive for a while after. We could always save the last guy for experiments. Stab the dude and try and turn him before he's dead-dead. Go full-on mad necromantic scientist.

[Egan_BW]

I mean, we can animate things that were never alive, and things that used to be alive are generally more functional than those. If it works on random inanimate objects, the power isn't specific to corpses and should be possible to at least try using it on something alive. Though it's possible that the living body will be able to resist some, close enough to dead should be, well, close enough to dead. It's probably more important that the body isn't resisting the anima linkage than that the brain is all the way gone. Hell, I'd bet that someone in a coma would make a good subject over all.

[Parisbre56]

We could just reanimate their clothes while they're still alive and have them move the body around. Dunno how practical it would be, but it sounds fun.
