Wait so did I die or what?
Yes, you did. That thing choked you to death. And could have slaughtered everyone if it hadn't been for Derm.

Hurray!
You ruined a lot of incoming fun. Shame on you.

Well, maybe not so much, it was only going to have 1 point in pool anyway.

But with perfect knowledge of all the words (GM knowledge) it could have been... uncomfortable for us. all it would have to do would be score one more kill (+another pool point) and Tomcost could have killed us all.

Where was I? Oh yea *ahem*

TESTING INCONCLUSIVE, BUT PROMISING. REPEAT WITH MORE MURDEROUS INTENT (still acid, still aim for head).

Also, only 1 off a perfect kill? Awww*whining noise*

To be frank, that thing would have known many words due to special reasons, which weren't explained but were shown during some events in the arena.

If it had been a different creature, then I think that I would have made it do science randomly until it found a way to kill people. Even thinking about the possibility of having to simulate science makes me feel uncomfortable, actually.

Meanwhile, I will be waiting until you unlock a boss.

Fun fact: That's what the aliens in PoM were doing.

And they discovered how to throw magma at people from the start, as well as how to multiply themselves? RNG is a bitch.

There were two caveats; they knew any word used in a spell to summon them (which included their own word) and I gave them a random semi-useful element, which happened to be magma.  Also, the cow word, because stereotypical aliens.  Everything else they scienced (which wasn't much because I usually forgot to run them.)

Haha! I love that a major limiting factor on their "intelligence" as an enemy was that they were simply forgotten about. Like when GM's suddenly remember to implement GravityTM.
Although I suppose you could have just retroactively scienced them, since they were out of view there would have been no way for us to tell. Drat.
