Milliways Dossier: Amascut


Threads
History

  • What the lurid, multi-colored hell is Sarah's world? I don't even know

Impressions

  • Threat Level: EXTREME - Trained in physical and magical combat, and would cheerfully kill me for the fun of it
  • Has a system of magic where that and metal "don't get along" - Purists don't use them together, but she does
  • Similarly, a pure battle - rules like no magic, or slashing or bludgeoning - fascinating
  • Showed me the grenade tossing range out back
  • Chinchompas - "carnivorous species of vermin that explode upon death" ... um
  • -- Box traps with spicy beef as bait, the animals themselves can be bought
  • -- Burrow in herd groups - how do they not just blow themselves up?
  • -- Breed quickly and have few natural predators
  • -- Sarah taught the chinchompas to run in a straight line, explode after a set time, and chase down a target to explode using mind-control sea slugs
  • -- If interrupted, the animal's minds go blank, and they stop
  • Someone cast a spell involving "were-sausages"? - What??
  • -- Found them with Enzo and the Apollo, with silver skewers
  • -- Alpha turned into ketchup? What!? - Sarah wanted to eat it? Um
  • Owns a shop next to a dye-maker; carries runestones and arrowheads, as well as nose plugs
  • Wanted to set the cat on fire, wow...

Weaknesses

  • Cats! Interesting

Scabs

  • How does magic work on her world? Can anyone use the runestones?
  • Chimchompas... what.
  • What's up with the cats?

Opportunities

  • Many. Sarah is clearly powerful in many ways, though she's predisposed to cheerful cruelty and is a bit capricious. Approach with caution.
