Spool up whatever movie I happened to loot for the theater, and watch that as Tara prepares an acute, rapid, energy dispersal at a magnitude a tad higher than the one she is expecting. Keep an occasional eye out for anything else that is trying to kill her before she does.

Bob begins gurgling at Tara and nudges her toward the Chevrolet Movie Theater. These corpses, oddly enough, don't feel very snack-like. He'll stick around though, if she insists on pursuing this course of action.

This is not an action post, but an RP post.

((The Anagramist turns the item in question into MAGIC letters, using the [material][object] tags. You use the letters of the material and the letters of the name of the object. You take the letters you get from the material and object, and recombine them into another object. Any letters unused in the transformation are lost, as they are consumed by the MAGIC that causes the transformation.

You could use different words to describe the material of an object, as long as it is appropriate for the object. For instance, you could call it a METAL bullet or a LEAD bullet. You could specify the bullet CASING, and use COPPER CASING (or perhaps COPPER BULLET CASING). As long as the terms you use reasonably define the object, and you spell it properly, it should be okay.

You don't get leftover lumps of undefined materials, unless perhaps due to a weird roll of the die. The material you start with CAN effect the form of the object you make - see the grass blades and grassassins that ruined Creation's day back in the first mission.

Anagraming requires some inventiveness and creative ability to take objects on hand and wordsmith them into useful things, or take a concept you wish to make and find a creative way to get teh letters necessary to make that idea a reality.

If any of what I say contradicts what PW says or decides, his word is, of course, the final decider. I am just trying to help you understand the structure of your ability so you can make the best use of it you can. Good Luck!))

"Heading toward town? I better warn Ericson."

Return to Ericson and let him know that the Hammer seems to be heading toward town. Let him speak directly to Debby through the link if he needs more info. Then ask about the use of a balloon (and guide) to fly up to the sunken town and then to the Atelier branch.

Additionally, I have a secret action I am posting via PM. Don't worry, it shouldn't affect anyone but Genesis.

Genesis locates Speaker, and scrawls in the dirt with his needle, making sure Speaker sees it: "YOUR TASK: Find a clipboard, notebooks, and pens/pencils. Only communicate with me via writing from now on, until you get afunctionary to give you hearing."

Ambush the guards. Kill and eat!
BRRAAAIIINNSS!!

"I think it's a good idea. They should have records of what happened and where their rods of bounty are, but it's rather odd that we were sent here if that's the way we need to handle this. I think they do have records of one being missing, which is why it was in our brief in the first place. So I think we should assume that they lost one during the event, and have no leads on where it might have gone. Maybe if we check around where the town fell-"

Genesis waits while Tess speaks across her link, then, at an appropriate pause, replies:
"I agree. I think an All-Tongue might get some information from the area of the fallen town. I'm not so sure, however, that the Magi are immediately aware of the situation with the Rods of Bounty. They have people to keep track of those things, and they have us to audit those people's work should the need arise. Though, we may simply end up confirming what the magi already suspect, or know. As for why we were sent here, remember that our primary goal is to stop the trouble and retrieve the Rod. This information hunt is secondary. Our orders even say to find this out 'if possible.' Still, it's where I am most useful at the moment, and I can still aid the team through the link until I am needed on ship."

Genesis pauses a moment, staring out at the horizon.
"We're expendable. We're recycleable. Even so, do try to survive. Don't go taking unnecessary risks for some half formed plan made by ..." Genesis glances very briefly off in the direction Speaker was last seen.
