I thought you might have hidden plotlines and such going on, or something like that.Evidently not.
...Huh. You're not that Hero McSurfer guy.Who'd a guessed?

No one man should wield such power. Controlling it is unacceptable because it makes the person controlling it a tyrant. Therefore, not my problem because I don't care.GWG: I never said I want to kill it.Then what DO you want to do? Let it run about and kill anyone it comes across?
The noble Green Ranger, joining the aspiring tyrant? Shame.Quite the opposite, in fact. I was asking your motive so I could determine how to convince you how keeping the bookwyrm alive is in your interest.If I make it out of wherever I am right now, I would very much like to join your Goodness and Justice Force atop your mobile dragon base.
Now tell me, good hero: What justice is there in killing an innocent being that had no choice in being a giant murderous dragon when you could turn the beast to the side of good? My plan will have the Bookwyrm attacking only the evil. In addition, it will form a base for the Forces of Good and Justice, a mobile base which can take Good to the Evil!

I was asking your motive so I could determine how to convince you how keeping the bookwyrm alive is in your interest.And I suppose the leader of this group would be you, then? You would decide what is good and what is evil according to your moral code? That's surprisingly tyrantlike for you, GWG. Also, why do you want to violate it's free will? The dragon is currently doing whatever it wants. If you harness it and get it do do your thing, it becomes your possession. Don't enslave the dragon, GWG. Don't be a tyrant.

He's a HERO of JUSTICE and FREEDOM. Of course he's going to slay the dragon.Why?You may have to do that before Hero McSilverSurfer with me tries to kill the thing.(The Bookwyrm is really the ends, not the means.)Quite probably. Even an airship or a boat would be just fine, since it's not too far, just large and mostly uninhabited. The bookwyrm's range is pretty massive, but it's really too big to notice most people without them doing something to attract its attention or drive it into a blind rage.Hm...cou,d we reach the rest by means of, say, a miles-long dragon?((Hey can you say if that map is the map of the world or not? I'd love to know where the location of things around the world are generally at.))It's actually only about 2/3 of the northern hemisphere. But the rest of the world is sort of a 'lost lands', which hasn't been explored much, and as such maps are rare.
Also, are there any people in play with such low Badassery that they'd almost always be the target of the Bookwyrm? And how long is the Bookwyrm's reach? I've got a plan...maybe with Hastur's watch...and we need to put Osborn somewhere safe...
Anyways, I have a plan. It involves taking control of the Bookwyrm for our own purposes. If anyone wants to know more, I'm forming a PMing "alliance," inspired by similar teams in Perplexicon, with which we can organize some efforts to harness the might of that awesome being.
