In reference to your Big D and SB talk about who is more powerful, SB is wicked good and could beat the crap out of Big D in a hand to hand fight but in magic he isn't nearly as good. But of course The Watcher could beat them both :)
: ...'cause he has some Myth history in place, can ask
: intelligent questions, and answer in an educated
: fashion. ;-)
: So, here's a hot topic for you, though it might have been
: discussed before. Let me see if I can bring this
: together...
: The Deceiver (aka Big D) was powerful enough to capture
: part of Soulblighter's essence and thereby weaken him.
: That means that in simple math, Myrdred is more
: powerful than Damas. But big D is captured by SB. How?
: By an elemental (the hand sticking out of the ground
: on "Murder of Crows").
: Common logic suggests that elementals are summoned.
: Soulblighter most likely didn't summon it, or the text
: would have said so (Bungie tradition). Also, if he had
: this ability, he sure as hell would have used it
: before. Perhaps the "Summoner" could have,
: but he had been killed in the previous level in M2
: (Inside the Tain).
: So... could it have been "The Lurker"? We know
: that the Fallen Lords each have their own little
: powers and abilities. Summoning elementals is not
: something we come across anywhere else. What if
: "The Lurker", who has at least some
: elemental control (Bheil, twice-born daughter of flood
: and famine) was the one that brought the elemental
: around to help capture big D?
: I don't have GURPS Myth (yet, if ever), so all of this
: I'm just picking up from my Myth Study™ and tossing
: together. Toss it some more at will. ;-)
