The Crystal Sslugs of the Test

[Great Thrash]

There's something of any particular description in SOME Facet, somewhere.

It'll be a better match, and probably something either universal or maybe in a Facet run by one of us. anything else wouldn't be exactly fair.

[Yerkan of Elish]

That was my thought as well, but I came across it anyway, and thought it might be worth a shot.

[Yerkan of Elish]

Hmm... a parasite of some sort. Mayor in the sense that it controls its host, but it does not really care... Not cold, though...

What about the Lord of the Citadel? Fuzzy in the sense that he is blurred beyond recognition by the trilobites.

[Grey Aides]

Thrash and I have been expanding the idea of...imprisoning...rather than trying to...destroy the Sslugs.

Meld the power at our hands into one....tremendous effort.

[Great Thrash]

Yes. And we should make it as dramatic as possible. Something to show all those who would try to manipulate us that we do not bow down!

"That is not the answer, though I like this train of thought."


Meanwhile, the Sslug wanders onward.

The other Sslugs have redoubled hostilities against Durin's strong walls, the one blasting with eye rays while the other pays Favor to strip down the defenses of the beautiful masonry.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Was a Mayor
Fuzzy Wuzzy Didn’t Care
Fuzzy Wuzzy – Who Was He?

If Fuzzy Wuzzy Was A Bear
Fuzzy Wuzzy’d Have A Lair
Hunter’s Can’t Surround It – Is It Even There?
And Fuzzy Was Cold – His Cave Had No Hair
Fuzzy Wuzzy – Who Was He?

Nidhogg the Malice Striker.

[Great Thrash]

I wonder how Durin would feel about using his home as a temporary trap.

[Diamond Master]

"It's not Nidhogg! Maybe you are getting the idea though? It's hard to tell with one so brilliant as Yerkan! How many guesses has it taken? Hahahhahahahaha!"

[Steepest Durin]

Yeah, let's use I's home fer th' Sslug trap.

I construct a huge statue of I's self, carved from a single large diamond. This I place in th' center of I's palace. I can build more palaces. Th' fun is in th' craft.

An' you're all forgettin' about one of oor greatest assets. Remember th' Council Portal! Its filter-by-component matrix, given th' exact makeup of each Sslug, an' the parent material of their construction, an' the polar interactions that hold 'em together, can let them in to th' bait without a problem - but gettin' out is a different story. Even more useful for th' Watchtower - usin' this Artifact, with some Favor ta support th' idea, ta more effectively counter any Favor comin' outta there.

Could I use some of th' Council's Favor ta buff I's walls?
