whats she getting? cause it's kind of looking like she's questioning the value of violence rather than her methods (which have largely been bound by the rules and methods of others).

She's manifesting a crown as she says it and the tagline is Enlightenment, so I think we're about to see Allisson clown on some fools who wanted to restart the universal war.

Oh, she's definitely getting something and manifesting a crown, but what the gently caress is it she's getting?

I hope she's coming to the understanding that doing violence in the ways and by the rules these chumps have long been doing it is a loving waste of time. But I dunno.

But, like, the act of creation is explicitly a violent one in this setting. The act of self enlightenment and personal growth is couched in terms of violence (and also heavily implied to be an eternal struggle with no end point).

Solving all of life's problems through enhanced casting of Occam's Razor. Reward yourself with an imaginary chalice.

Yes, the act of creation is a violent act, but remember that humanity was created by Aesma who did things that explicitly defied the laws of existence because she didn't know any better and YIS-UN themselves is a liar. Anything is possible if you try. You may reach heaven through violence but true royalty is defying the rules because you can.

One of the biggest flaws of the demiurges is that they destroy without any mind to what that will create and create without any understanding of what that destroys. That and they stopped cutting.

That seems right on the money. She's getting that she doesn't have to play the demiurge's game to get ahead and this is possibly her first real step towards true royalty. Finally looking to find her own path instead of being goaded along the rails people like Solomon or Incubus laid out.

She has realized the secret to winning without fighting.

Fighting Solly D is suicide, so she has to clown him some other way without letting him fight back.

"Go on until you're stopped."
I will make a prediction:

Allison will end the fight by holding both combatants apart without hurting either of them. This will break the illusion of Solomon’s perfection without sinking to his level and also probably make him so mad he weeps blood.

She's going to win by not fighting, by just standing there and letting Solomon David make a fool of himself. Think about it, why did SolDave only annihilate the fighters advancing towards him? He's one of the 7 kings of creation. King in Latin is rex. SolDave is a tyrant.

He's a secret tyrannosaurus rex that can only see things if they're moving.

Glorantha in general has a lot of the same appeals as K6BD, notably: an extremely high level of fantasy with complex motivations and insane magic.



Baroshi fights The Chaos Maggot. Baroshi is the small (4'10" warrior on the left). As an incarnation of spring and life, Baroshi's head is a grain of barley.




The Capstan of Curustus. In the foreground is a meeting of several dwarfs, in the background the Capstan is visible, being turned by dinosaurs and extending hundreds of feet into the air. The Capstan is a massive magical/engineering project whose goal is to pull an entire continent up from the sea floor. Doing so will kill hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of non-dwarfs, which is a feature not a bug. Just dwarfs being dwarfs.

e: Both images from the Guide to Glorantha.
