Tollymain posted:arent the only other sapient creatures running around senet beasts? Senet beasts are a different deal than the lizards, they generate their own mini-khert. Two-toes are under the jurisdiction of the normal/human-centric khert, they just... sort of don't get their memories processed by it after they die. Except maybe Prakhuta, now, thanks to Delicieu's work.

Tollymain posted:did the world undergo an evolutionary phase? maybe the lizards were just a freak accident Official paleontology is that the gods experimented and worked towards what they ultimately wanted to create, with humans being the pinnacle of their achievement What does this mean for the two-toes? Maybe they were a prototype for ensoulment? Maybe they were an accident, or an inspirational accident? Maybe Kasslynian paleontologists are completely full of poo poo?

Bad Seafood posted:The water girl who helped Duane seems sapient as well. Yeah, most of the senet beasts that are particularly story-relevant are sapient. which makes sense, there's only so much mileage you can get out of the tree-whatsit or the storm brothers or even the waterbabies, compared to a particularly smart/humaboo waterwoman or, say, a mind-eating snakeman who just couped the foremost league of mad scientists on Kasslyne. Relatedly, Ash noted that Timofey sticking up to Ruckmearkha took some bravery, since Ruck sticking his personal-khert-fielded talon in Timofey's ghostly innards and swirling it around would be... not great. Such fragile little wonders.

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:It's interesting here because I'm pretty sure whatever Sonorie is planning would be the end of the Aldish caste system and possibly the Dammakhert, so it's a type of cultural genocide she's after, whereas the silver eel is really just regular old garden variety genocide, which is what Bell is after. That's a plausible theory, especially given his involvement in whacking Rilursa. Evil Abraham Lincoln is a pretty enjoyable villain anyway.

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:Yeah, Jab was pretty clearly happy with Alerode and Cresce's cold war scenario, and is unhappy at it turning into a hot war. He prefers the status quo, but he knows Sonorie's up to some poo poo; what he doesn't know is what's happening in Alderode. Jab is definitely on the side of Bell's rebellion and plot to overthrow the Sonories. I'm just not sure the timeline works out - Sonorie and Roger wake Ruck, connect him to the blacktongues and start experimenting with Ruck's venom/Roger's memories/Blacktongue soul mapping. Ruck presumably finds out about Duane during this time, since Bastion made Duane and probably left his research all over Juste. Ruck goes to Sharteshane trying to track Duane down, where he meets Jab, who hooks him up with Chorley and sends him back to Juste. Ilganyag has abandoned the Blacktongues by this point and they're desperate for a new Senet beast leader. Right around that time, Bastion comes back and the other Blacktongues kill their current human leader, with Ruck taking over at the behest of Darkest Paul. comedy option, there are two efheby involved, and given out-of-comic stuff about how even other efheby think Ruck's a creepy weirdo and race traitor, that might not be great for our favorite horrible snakeman That feels like needlessly multiplying entities, though. Edit: Ash posted the other day that there are two more pages in this scene and she bets nobody can predict how it ends. I'm going with "Emil and or Elka burst in dramatically".

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:Well, based on this ask and the most recent page I no longer think Ruck is working on behalf of Jab Beadman! This implies Ruck is playing his own game, and for stakes much more horrifying than any of the extremely-horrifying stuff that's already happening. I personally do not have any objections to a mind-eating apex predator being able to alter the minds of human leaders for the purposes of entertainment and of seasoning for future consumption, and I'm not sure why you seem to.

Why don't you try stuffing your wallet up your rear end? Mild WoG about the... things... in the last panel: they're just khert ghosts, apparently, hanging out on the khert lines. Weird and somewhat creepy looking, but basically just scenery.

A Wizard of Goatse posted:He wants to survive and have a fun life eating the most interesting minds from these interesting times. Just hibernating for eternity in an empty cave might technically be survival, but it ain't living. I almost entirely agree with this, but if he has a fully functional Ruck Knife he can actually tweak his interesting, tasty meals to generate more interesting scenarios and more tasty meals. I don't think he has a particularly grand scheme regarding current human politics other than sipping the delicious memories of the leadership, but he has an agenda in using Blacktongue technology to feed his addiction. edit committing doubleposting crimes to link the update: double edit also Ruck seems to actually have a greedy, horrific sort of love for his prey until they're all used up, so he very likely actually does want to improve their quality of life by carving away their sorrows and making them more perfect people (who will then generate even more interesting memories) Goatse James Bond fucked around with this message at 05:24 on Aug 17, 2018 |

TheFuzzyLumpkin posted:I think it's likely Ilganyag wants out of the khert, but whether or not that would necessitate destroying it remains to be seen. A really interesting question is why she's trapped there - senet beasts are made of first materials and don't have souls, so she shouldn't be able to interact with the khert at all. Ruckmearkha also seems to accept I's current state pretty much at face value, although he doesn't seem to have intellectual curiosity so much as enjoy eating intellectual curiosity, so his "she's stuck in the khert forever, very sad, very stupid, i am a better god" bit might not have a huge amount of metaphysical info in it.

Ruck doesn't destroy the memories, he keeps them around inside himself. What happens when he dies? That's probably an interesting question. Can you harvest memories from a dead efheby? Also Ash has said we currently have enough in-comic information to correctly guess what's Sette's whole origins / khertweirdness deal.  I'm trying not to read too much into the timing based on Anadyne's transfiguration. We know Sette is treated as a human by the khert for pymaric purposes, not a senet beast or something weirder. Her main strange khert characteristics are heightened detection (which plats have in a different way) and the thing where she dove through Duane's shadow into the khert, which is literally impossible.
