No, the Rogue Sith has a saber. He wants to know how to make another saber if he needs to.LadyTevar wrote:So, the rogue Sith wants to make his own saber?

Obviously, he has never made his own, only borrowed or stolen them. Otherwise he'd know aobut the Crystals.
And can you even make artificial ones?

The red ones the Sith use are artificial. Higher output, shorter lifespan. The ROTJ novelization also has Luke making artificial crystals for his green saber.LadyTevar wrote:

With synthetic crystals, it does require a Jedi meditation to assist in the process. Otherwise, I imagine lightsabers would be mass produced on a staggering scale.

Fighting in winter is so challenging and stirring. Good times. Good times.

So, either I'm Canadian or blatantly pandering to frigid. Or both.

If the Khaduli have significant magic, and apparently they do, then they should be able to carry on as large a winter campaign as they want; after all, magic can ward against the cold and create food as fairly easy spells. Unless they're all arcane casters; clerical magic tends to be better at the provisioning.

1) A cleric can support an adventuring party just fine. For tens of thousands of warriors, plus their wives and children and their herds, you need a fucking gigantic number of powerful clerics.Rogue 9 wrote:If the Khaduli have significant magic, and apparently they do, then they should be able to carry on as large a winter campaign as they want; after all, magic can ward against the cold and create food as fairly easy spells.

2) I have shown a considerable number of Khaduli magicians (but I've been focusing on the highest ranking members of their society) but not a single cleric.
3) They can handle the cold just fine.

Even if they can campaign in the winter, you gotta take a break sometime. Troops need downtime. You gotta reorganize after a campaign even if you're just a mob and of course the herds do need to be counted and checked over after a move.
Also a good time to shake down raw recruits and make sure all the loot has been assigned. Unowned slaves being bad for morale in a evil horde of world ending doom and all that.

There's that as well. The Khaduli lifestyle has fairly simple logistics, but multiply that by Great Horde and it becomes an issue. Also, they do need down time even if they would never express it that way.frigidmagi wrote:Even if they can campaign in the winter, you gotta take a break sometime. Troops need downtime.

I appreciated the "Wait is he actually writing ince...ewwwwwwww" reaction prior to the actual little sister walking in.

There is no word harsh enough for this. No verbal edge sharp and cold enough to set forth the flaying needed. English is to young and the elder languages of the earth beyond me. ~Frigid

I can think of women who'd volunteer for the threesome.
But I see the young woman got away with information on him he may not have wanted known after all.

And after a long lapse, you hit one outta the ballpark.
I could hear both Megatron and Shockwave's voices, could see their poses as they spoke, could even hear the dead silence after Megatron's direct question to Shockwave.
Beautifully done, Cyncat. :luv:

You need to go over it for a few typos, I'm at work and can't post them now :sad:
Otherwise, it's good to see Duke Ericorn is a smart man.

Despite what fiction says, feudalism is unkind to stupid overlord. Where are the Stuarts now for example?

I like the way you write the Combaticons. They come off as the best team on the Cons, working almost as well as Soundwave's crew.
They almost feel like a real military unit. A military unit made up of war criminals and scum but a military unit all the same.
