Uh, psst, your avatar doesn't work.

I know it's been that way for weeks.

...That gas has a pretty similar color to the Stormfallen.

Let's hope that's just a coincidence oh who am I kidding.

... what, you really think so?

Cat's *right there*, we can tell it's two vastly different colors

It's not a bad inference. We know one of the most powerful Stormfallen is interested in this place. Maybe the mountain is connected to the Stormfallen in some way.

Well I didn’t expect to see an “owo” this soon today.

[TaiLiu]

Curious what the blue mist will do to them. Good characterization of the brother, who obviously cares less about the guard than for his own (and his family's) safety.

[Metastachydium]

Heh. Small mountain, few comfortable caves, as it would seem. Judging by footprints being still there and visible from afar, A. and Tavi can't be too far either.

Edit: Also, whatever happened to bearded guard guy?

I love how Cat was the one who actually got it right.

[TaiLiu]

Pretty cool! I wonder if the vision will turn nightmarish or anything, or if it'll just be surprise pleasantry.

[Metastachydium]

Well, look at that! Beard guy still exists, Cat is happy, everyone else continues to be themselves and it's probably a trap. (Or not. But it's not like Cat's never been far too enthusiastic about the wrong thing before.)

It's possible the storm or cloud is just some remnant of former, more powerful entity and sometimes manifests malevolently (hence why brother ran away), but sometimes benevolently.

Maybe that's what happens when the stormfallen die. They join the gestalt storm entity on the mountain.

[Fyraltari]

I mean, the boulder could have been carried somewhere too.

Yeah, this stuff is totally related to whatever turned Pellan into a fashion model.

Oh please, P isn't that thin.

[TaiLiu]

Oo. Is this entity the mist itself?

I'm digging the new fire sword design. There's something weirdly epic about watching the heat flow up the blade.

[danielxcutter]

I mean, it's a flaming sword.

I agree with Crystalwind. The way I imagine flaming swords is the heat coming from the outside in. Like, the sword's had oil poured over it and then it's lit on fire. This is the inverse, which is pretty neat. (And probably has structural consequences for the sword.)

[danielxcutter]

I mean, magic.

[TaiLiu]

I mean, magic.

Yeah. That sword cut through Pellan's sword like butter, so clearly it's magical in some way.

[danielxcutter]

Mhm.

Also, when I said "it's a flaming sword" I meant more "it's a flaming sword, of course it's cool".

[TaiLiu]

Oh, I see. For sure.

[V'icternus]

"it's a flaming sword, of course it's cool".

I think flaming swords are in fact usually quite warm.
