What do we know about the Hunters?




[That’s it. That's the post.]

[Sorry, folks. We're used to getting our info from Sleepers, not the locals. And in the wake of October, in light of the words of the locals lately... Better to ask.]

If you want, I can introduce you to Varian - he's the one I mentioned. Maybe he could even figure out how to put them to sleep for you. Apparently... he already has the capability to make explosives. A harmless sleep bomb probably wouldn't be too much to ask.

Maybe... we'll have to go to the source in the end. To what causes people to turn out this way. If we can figure that out, maybe we'll have a better solution than just outright killing them.

Is that common where you're from? But, yeah. I'm human.

[More or less, depending on your view.]

Greetings Shiro,

If there is some manner of paralysis that could be used upon the beasts, that would be ideal. I would not want them put to sleep. That is what my magic already does, though it takes me time and focus to achieve. Something that could ensnare them and give me time to work is what I need most.

Do you believe there is some singular source to be found? I presumed it to be a disease or a force of nature at work.

As for humans, they are no longer common in the Above World of my homeland. I was human once upon a past life, so I respect their resilience. I take it that other realms, as this one is, are under the watch of differing Gods. You would not have the same Blessing of Fire as the humans of my world have, would you?

Sincerely,

Ives

I'm sure Varian could figure that one out, too. He's extremely skilled with that kind of thing. I don't know if they have alchemists in your world, but that's what he calls himself. It's like a chemist, where I'm from.

I don't know. It's just a theory, from what I can tell. If it is a disease, then, maybe we can treat that, too. Vaccinations, or some kind of physical treatment.

Far as gods, I can't say. I know there's the Pthumerian Patrons here, they existed in the dream world, too. But... fire blessing? You might have to elaborate on that one, too. Sorry.

Greetings Shiro,

That sounds like a fine option. If he can come up with a suitable method, let me know.

As for the Blessing of Fire, it is a gift of magic all humans have. It grants humans a certain inner warmth, making them particularly appealing to those with more animalistic mindsets. It was granted to them by the Fire Dragon of Myddvai, who I doubt holds any sway in this place. These Pthumerians are powerful beings, but I've yet to meet one that seemed to rely upon charm.

Sincerely,

Ives

Sure thing. I'll ask him, next time I speak to him. Which is pretty often, actually.

[Varian, yet another adopted child of his.]

If it's magic, then, no. I definitely don't have any kind of magic. I can give a decent speech, but no magic here. Other humans might, though. I know Mako could actually control fire, even before he arrived here. And his brother can do the same with rocks.
