or she "measured" her on the spotthe fact that the lady got a set of perfect size clothes ready for her, it means she probably been stalking her to the point she know every inch of rudy
I wasn't saying Rudy was the golem.On page 8 Falahels says "Good to know it works on people, too." so I doubt Rudy is a monster now
It seems that this alchemist lady is taking already dead monsters and combining parts. So it’s more like monster necromancy as opposed to creating monsters out of base mana which seems to be explicitly forbidden. It’s kinda pedantic but it’s establishing terminology and defining some things."Where'd this monster come from?"
"I made it"
"You made it?"
"Of course not, you fucking idiot"
huh?
Yea, but wouldn’t it be funnier to imagine some sailor going, “nuh uh we didn’t hit any rocks, you see there was umm this monster, really huge monster with um with uh with a dog’s head- no, three- no, SIX dog heads, yeah, anyway it was chasing after us and biting the ship and stuff, but we got out alive because we’re awesome sailors!”I appreciate how candid those little world building notes are at the chapter's end. 'Maybe this is true. Maybe not. I haven't decided yet. Regardless, not like folks of the ancient world believed all superstitions. They understood what a metaphor is'
Reminds me of a potential explanation on how the ancient greeks perceived their pantheon of gods. Of how when people write of real people having been 'visited by the gods', it was more just metaphor, not that the writer genuinely believed the person they wrote of was literally visited by the gods. Athena was their prime example, that writers and readers of the time would have known, if Athena was being referenced, it did not mean a literal goddess visited a person, but rather, they experienced some keen form of insight that, to an outside observer, was truly remarkable. Or a definitely more clear example, when old map makers put a dragon in the water, it did not mean the map maker believed in dragons. It was just short hand to say to any potential reader, 'hey, water in this part is dangerous, be careful 'round there'.
The author seem to have draw some MIA anthology in the past, so you might not be far off the thruth. The monster design also remind me of MIA as welldungeon? nah that's the 4th layer of the abyss
If a seemingly innocent and harmless individual suddenly appears in a dangerous place and reveals herself to be aligned with the enemy, I'd be very worried about said individual being more than what they seem.love that the adventuring team is going "oh fuck Rudy's on the enemy team now!" as if she's a threat. Oh no she's going to make the chimera's some truly wild weaponry, which will be ready in like a week.
dont forget rudy is quite the weaponsmith who knows all of their weapons/tactics. She made things for them and showed a remarkable talent at observation and analysis. revealing your enemies tactics, abilities are problematic if you have the ability to take advantage of it and the flesh golems are shown to be more than capableIf a seemingly innocent and harmless individual suddenly appears in a dangerous place and reveals herself to be aligned with the enemy, I'd be very worried about said individual being more than what they seem.
