Indeed.

...'I am a forest, and a night of dark trees: but he who is not afraid of my darkness, will find banks full of roses under my cypresses.' So let us hope he wasn't misguided.

(( Should be. But why would you need one? I mean, it seems that Con is the only skill which has no 'non-lethal' application, and you can't possibly screw with overkilling (apart from very few selected situations, I believe), can you?

EDIT: Ninja'd ))

(( Yeah, that pretty much sums it up. Well, we could try and create laser weaponry based on pulse lasers (as compared to continious lasers currently in use), and for those the concept of rate of fire would be valid.

Oh, and yes, laser cannons are lovely :3 The cutting laser with increased power input and/or an additional array of lenses, maybe? ))

What a pleasant view!.. ... ... ... ...Nah.
Sleep. Dream of the picturesque view I could see were it not for the all-enveloping blackness outside, obscuring the true beauty of the Fall.

((@piecewise 'Matter manipulator'=Matter Converter PK amp or Mass Manipulation PK Amp? Asking because Jim has the same ambigous entry in his inventory in the cheatsheet, and somehow I doubt that one is the same device as which the Armory Master was using. ))

((Goddamnit, AM. Even if the ship somehow exploded, the only thing remaining would be the AM, floating in a bubble of oxygen and idly reading her magazine.))

(( So true... ))

Well, worth trying. And, actually, I hope that we'll be able to find another one in the Lost Citadel. I wonder, though, would its powers still function outside this anomaly, in the outer world?

((@Spinal_Taper The reason above, and I'm currently thinking of a way we could possibly set up an ambush for the Wyrm and its inhabitants. Maybe request a megatonne charge from Steve?.. Nay, at best we could try overloading the MFM, and even then it probably won't do much damage, since the heat waves part of the explosion will be missing. ))

Well, it all started when we - Thomas - got that tuning fork from the ruined third floor. I don't remember, were you with us at that moment? I was a bit distracted then, a bit busy with doctoring Faith and Gorat from another small accident.
At about the same time strange black ink was discovered by Faith - I don't know much about it, ask her if you want. Thomas came to take a sample of that ink, I believe, then... well, somehow he fell and 'absorbed' the ink. After a minute or so of him struggling against it, that thing took him over and engulfed in 'black-flame' - in essence, made him a Lighteater (he ate light for at least once, as I can confirm). Then he took that tuning fork and used it to shapeshift and control the sandstone around him, and to call for something big (well, at that moment we could only hear the ground trembling).
We tried to oppose him, but not-Thomas-thing seemed to just shrug off any piece of matter we sent into it - it ate Charro's blade-hat, for exampe. In the end, Gorat managed to deal some damage to it with his microwave amp, and the thing made itself a new body out of sandstone boulders with its staff, and abandoned Thomas for this new 'host'.
Then the colossal something - I guess it was the aforementioned Wyrm - finally came, and turned out to be a giant moving city, bore on the back of a huge thing (worm? snake?) seemingly made of the same ubiquitous metallic material and sporting the same patterns in its 'growths'. The Lighteater, still holding the tuning fork-staff in his 'hand', boarded the colossal creature and then it was gone.
I guess it sums up what happened there. Have I missed something? Maurice asked, turning to the rest of the team.

Rest more.
