I can't believe lying about a contagious disease was worth warning about.

The fact that the ambassador's reporting it to his minions means that, for real, it came off without a hitch and Audrey killed him. The snout elves must have felt really bad about that reality.

Huh. Well that's Thorsby for yah. I certainly didn't predict "make a bunch of plans, then pull em from a hat at random each time he responds, so that you change plans faster than the ambassador can react.

I'm sure Klara knows how to become a healthy carrier for a very contagious disease that's harmless to humans but lethal to snout elves.

It would be pretty bad storytelling to be in a simulation at this point, you'd have to leave out some pretty critical things happening offscreen. I think that Thorsby knows better, especially after what is possibly the best payoff for a seemingly unbeatable antagonist I've ever seen.

Did we previously see someone operating the catapult? As far as I know "snicker-snack yoink" returns the closest weapon someone is holding, so I assume for the purposes of the spell there must've been someone from whom the catapult was taken?

EDIT: And yeah, that was a good surprise and a good chuckle

it is under tension, maybe someone was doing a demonstration?

or it doesn't really have to be held- doesn't the witch yoink blades being thrown at her?

I think the idea is that the spell works like, "give me the weapon nearest to the one I'm aiming at", and tricking her into thinking there's a weapon to aim at when there isn't caused it to default to the most similar object in Trixie's vicinity.

Yep, didn't see that one coming. I mean, I knew it'd backfire somehow, but I expected a cheap divorce snake or something, and then when that didn't happen I figured now would not be the time. Thorsby is the best.

The definition of the spell was just "summons the nearest weapon to your hand", it doesn't have to be one that someone else was already holding.

I think Fahrenheit is better for weather

Also, back when she first used it, she threw the sword into the sea, just to make sure it wouldn't be the closest weapon anymore.

At this point the entire Skyggmerian strike team is pretty much done for, and the simulated universes didn't show that Barbara or anyone else was going to get him if this plan fails.

Hopefully Zoozo stops the Ambassador from fleeing and gets credit for stopping the coup and the wave of popularity allows Zoozo to implement all the good socialism stuff he's learning about in those books.

Zoozo Zlen will be a great president :kimchi:
