Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Why? Being a klik amalgam is to his advantage. He probably has DR now well ahead of the appropriate level, and can definitely heal from contact with a variety of substances: metal, tree bark, you name it. It's a huge tactical advantage and allows him to save his healing spells for those who are more susceptible to harm. As long as he still has his senses of touch, smell and tastes, there's no real downside to Klikgath.
If you think "interesting" is an anticlimax, I feel sorry for you because it means you don't really know about interesting.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
The problem is he has a list a dozen items long where specific parts of his body are vulnerable to something specific. And its entirely possible healing works the same way. He may not be ABLE to use healing spells on himself. Instead he needs to carry around a supply of a dozen items to repair specific sections of his body if they get damaged. like, he may need iron to heal his right arm, coal for his left pec, mercury for his right eye, etc. Imagine if his right arm is vulnerable to steel and he goes to block an attack with it and it gets chopped right off with screaming agony? His left arm is allergic to wood so that club breaks it like a twig. Its a lot to keep straight.
But I may be wrong. I cant remember when we covered what it means for a klik to merge with a living being. I know it changes something but im not sure I remember what. I just remember there was the potential for problems and thats what happened to dies horribly and his green arm monster.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Yes, Salt was too young, and Forklickft was botched. He probably will have problems similar to Dies's.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
So... in the room that makes thing real, MinMax said:
"Forgath died" -> No conseguences, as Forgath actually died, so there is no reality change.
"Brother, you are alive" -> Here, it matters if the spell understand pathos retorical forms. Anyway, just calling someone "brother" should not count as saying "we are brothers". At the same time, "You are alive" is probably innocuous as Forgath is, at this time, alive.
"We're back together!" -> Again, inconseguential on virtue of being correct anyway.
I know this post is useless, but I'm keeping track of things MinMax says for the inevitable moment he will sweat.Last edited by Laurentio III; 2023-10-22 at 02:32 AM.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Well ok then! Still time for something to go tragically wrong in this room, but for the moment that was easy.

It is also, I admit, increasingly looking like I gave Elli too much credit in thinking both the black-and-white pages would be colored in.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
"Ugly" is severely understating his condition.
But to be clear I was responding to:
Being a klik amalgam is to his advantage. [bunch of tactical considerations] As long as he still has his senses of touch, smell and tastes, there's no real downside to Klikgath
I don't agree that death would be preferable to life in this state, I just don't think that the fighting bonuses make up for it.Forum Wisdom

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
But at least Forgath's mind and soul hasn't changed which is enough for MinMax.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Forgath doesn't seem to have much problem with it, or at least, he prefers it to death.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
I feel surprised that my prediction wasn't correct. I also don't feel it's very satisfying to have my expectations subverted by the idiot character luck out by saying things that are all consistent with current reality with no real planning.
I guess this is one of those things where there is still plenty of time for it to go horribly wrong before they actually exit the room though so maybe I shouldn't be counting any chickens in either direction

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
It might be that the universe itself is bent to ensuring things that occur in the corridor, even if they can be influenced by outside events, will turn out to be true when they are spoken about in the corridor, and that this causality can work backwards in time from when the words are said.

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Yep, it doesn't work retroactively, otherwise Kin would have really been Princess Blanket, even back when she first appeared.
And even the oblivion holes in the Maze of Many didn't work retroactively, at least from our point of view.Originally Posted by J.R.R. Tolkien, 1955

Re: Goblins XIX: New Year, New Updates
Kin is stupidily smart, and already asserted that the magic in the room is like Alladin's Genie: "Phenomenal cosmic powers! Itty bitty living space!".
Working outside the room is already too much. Working back in time would be asking the Moon.
Remember, Kin being a queen worked in an hallucination, not even changing the room aspect.
