You notice they call the tech of the ancients machine magic. Magic is their only reference point.

This was hard for me to relate to, but I grew up in a different environment than most children. The concept of me having to get permission to go is alien to me. I understand it, but I just find it amusing. I hope this goes without any pitfalls.

Very apt for the Fourth of July, @Myr -
All of us could use Edison's publicist.

Yes, I know. I didn't like the way I phrased it myself. Abundant power or not, it's not efficient and these ancients seem to have been very precise.

Mickey Rooney portrayed Edison as well.

These rockets are like the German V2's but a little larger. Being fired in a fixed direction and at a 45 degree angle, they are going somewhere on the planet and have been for countless years. You can't get escape velocity at such an angle. Evidently their production and launch is completely automated. Is this outpost still fighting a forgotten war against a long dead enemy? These new wolflike beings have saved them just in time.

Lurid? Here??

Ben Franklin proved electricity has positive. and negative and could flow. I'm not a big Edison fan. If Jamie were more like Edison, he'd be taking more credit for himself and not sharing for free. Jamie has more in common with Nicola Tesla, who had an eclectic memory and could visualize in 3D.

One can never tell when a glitch may happen, can one?

Geron is using EDT

Snave earlier made the comment about mages being more effective in groups. Jamie already has one future collaborator in Geert.

I'm fairly sure I can force a chapter now and then if you would like. Haven't tried it with the new version though.

The great beast was like a more ferocious elephant. What great armor its hide would make. This served as another great learning experience and made their shield even stronger. As to the fire, could it be a dragon?

I doubt anyone today would choose to be Phil Spectered. -
It depends on the park and the company.

desultory - Word of the Day - Sun Jul 2, 2023
drpaladin commented on Myr's blog entry in Writing World
Some things only seem desultory until you realize there is a cause and effect or purpose. The search has resulted in many scientific discoveries. -
When they heard and felt the huge creature crashing through the forest, I thought of the scene in one of the Jurassic Park movies where the liquid in the cup starts vibrating. What the heck is it?

There is some grand and evil plan behind these attacks. I think our demon mages may be preparing for conquest and gathering supplies. Traveling in such dense forest is much like jungle warfare with little extended visibility or time to react. They will need to rely on Snave's charms to detect danger and likely the ring gifted Garvin by Crillis.

Guilty as homemade sin. -
We knew our boys were facing a formidable foe, but it's disconcerting he can detect and attack them from so far away and especially an assault on their minds. It's insidious and as violating as rape. I hope Jamie can come up with some counters. So far they've always been in the position of reacting and it's not ideal.

This does presume you can translocate to a place you have only flown over. Being airborne and on the ground are vastly different perspectives and the skill requires a mental image. I doubt even an experienced mage would want to translocate a hundred feet in the air.

Embezzlers have a tendency to flaunt their ill-gotten gains, almost like they want to be caught.
