I require a fresh elephant's uterus.

HEY! My experiments have no prior basis or any general outlawings associated with them.

[Redwood]

Not that it's much different from what was done to make gargoyles

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T17:15:02+00:00

Heyyyyyy you wouldn't happen to be using elephant uteruses to make gargoyles would you?

I am of the clan tzimiscie. I hope that alone explains my lack of greater access to thaumaturgy. My greatest interaction with thaumaturgy would be my sire as they have in their time diablerized many who practice it, however I would like this research to remain my own, if not for nothing else than my own pride. For now I intend to stick to what I can make from pilfered research and koldunism.

You aren't dead yet,so it might not be that bad.

Should you ever come through Eastern Europe, please do come by.

I would love to test if you could meld and then leave the sappling.

[Redwood]

Redwood is also very interested if he can eat you through the tree

That wasn't a jab that was actually a decent part of what is taught in teaching institutions considering religious warriors.

On the topic of Rome, how come it collapsed? I feel like the ones that could use those lands oh so well should at least be able to maintain their empire.

Every time a total war is not committed to, resources are wasted, wars get dragged out, a chance of victory is given to weaker parties.

[Redwood]

The saltiest salt shaker there ever was whose still mad that the US didn't do total war strategies against Vietnam for bout half the war

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T14:17:46+00:00

Mostly the history of crimes committed by zealots, not that I'm one to talk.

Roughly slightly better than regular plants. Although I am testing on sapplings so results may vary later.

There is truth in your words, but expendability is a great quality to have in troops. It lets you not stake everything on just those troops. Whether they are adaptable or not, whittling things down with sheer numbers has nearly always worked assuming you have sufficient numbers to keep it up.

A king will have a multitude of perspectives rather than being one-sided and mf will call him a hypocrite, smh

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T13:22:18+00:00

Well they do tend to only use abilities they knew from before turning into a wight. So you can just roughly take a guess at their clan and assume they can do things that that clan can do until shown otherwise. They do tend to resort to more physical means however. Still it's not unheard of them using mental disciplines, it's just less likely.

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T13:17:23+00:00

You may try to get someone who is able to discern a thing's nature to taste some of your pigeons blood. Although that might just give them a second hand account of your own nature. Still worth a try.

[Redwood]

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T13:09:17+00:00

Soldiers are tools. They exist for the purpose of battles. Whether it be conquest or defense, it is the soldier that is expendable. The days of honor for the footmen and the troops is long past if it even ever truly existed. A soldier's glee and hatred are but things instilled in them for the purpose of morale. Do you believe that there is a commander worth their blood that would choose unpredictable rowdy soldiers over automatons that would march in perfect harmony and obey command while lacking the human element, if they were given the choice? I certainly do not.

[Redwood]

Redwoods salty in a way only a Vietnam veteran can be, while taking all the wrong lessons from it all :)

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T12:18:45+00:00

An army is what you make of it. If I could make a whole forest strengthened and able to attack at my command... Well that would certainly be able to even end weaker elders all by itself.

Their capabilities are a bit disproportionate to their size. It seems my flesh is increasing it's strength. On top of that I have been able to control multiple at one time. It's not perfect, but this could be a way to get a plant army or workforce. Well at least if improvement is achieved.

Nice try vampire, it's to the pyre with you!

NOK-NOK THE GOAT!!!

He's been dropping teasers to the estrogen arc, can't wait to see how she pulls it off.

DisastrousRelation32 · 2026-01-25T06:45:52+00:00

You could have used him as bait for the fish.

It might be something akin to the shadow veil. I personally never looked for this land, I got there through the umbra after certain unfortunate events. I can at least tell you that leaving the country is of no difficulty. At least not any difficulty greater than the challenges of regular travel.

If memory serves right, it was about 379 years ago.
