 		Another Blog Post From Fenrir
http://flameseekingwolf.blogspot.com/2008/07/and-in-end.html

The pass is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
devilmaycry


And it decodes to...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
no, not an emo post this time...
instead... i have an assignment for you guys, but first i need to know you are worthy! *epic music* cheezy, yes, but necessary.
if interested, email me with the answers to the following questions, and explain your logic behind them (there's more than one right answer Wink)
1)an elvish gunship is slowly approaching your town, and it appears hostile. you have three pegasus knights armed with lances, and two mages (both skilled in lightning, water, fire, and wind magic) mounted on wyverns in your platoon. every other unit is an archer. this gunship has six large plasma turrets on the top of the ship that rotate slowly but have immense firepower and accuracy. it also has a large communications antennae on the top, and a small door nearby that allows crew to man the large turrets (elvish design... :p). what's the best way to utilize these resources to take out this ship?
2)you're surrounded by wolf demons in an open clearing. what is your weapon of choice, your tactic of choice, and why?
3)what's the best thing to eat after a long day of fighting? :p


EDIT: Sorry I forgot about this... On IRC Dimona told me that the old hidden post was probably what caused his journal error which can be seen here: http://flameseekingwolf.blogspot.com/2008/06/error.html

Most of the chat was idle chitchat but these parts may be important....

[6:47pm] Dimona: Yeah, we're fine.
[6:47pm] ineffabelle: at the gates?
[6:47pm] Dimona: Yep.
[6:47pm] ineffabelle: so how did the mission go?
[6:48pm] Dimona: I dunno. Ask Fenrir about that. Dad, Big Sis and I were at a theme park all weekend!
[6:48pm] ineffabelle: oh i just saw your post
[...]
[7:10pm] ineffabelle: i read his post
[7:13pm] Dimona: Yeah. I just saw that yesterday.
[7:13pm] ineffabelle: so what's going on with him
[7:13pm] Dimona: I dunno.
[7:13pm] ineffabelle: an you went to a theme park?
[7:13pm] Dimona: The date on that post is all weird. I never saw it before yesterday, but it said it's posted a long time ago.
[7:14pm] Dimona: I think it's the post that caused that ugly error on his blog.
[7:14pm] Dimona: And, yeah. Theme park ^___^
[7:14pm] Dimona: They had THE best roller coaster ever.
[7:14pm] ineffabelle: which one?
[7:14pm] ineffabelle: and what error?
[7:15pm] Dimona: Umm, hold on... lemme get a link...
[7:15pm] Dimona: http://flameseekingwolf.blogspot.com/2008/06/error.html
[7:15pm] Dimona: This error.
[7:16pm] ineffabelle: oh ok weird
[7:16pm] ineffabelle: so how did that post cause it you think?
[7:17pm] ineffabelle: and how did you find the post?
[...]
[7:18pm] Dimona: I was just clicking around his blog because it was late at night, I was bored, and wanted to see how things were going back at home...
[7:18pm] Dimona: I clicked "Older posts," and...
[7:18pm] Dimona: It was there.
[7:18pm] Dimona: From the looks of the error, I think he didn't have his compensator plugged into his PSP all the way or something.
[7:18pm] Dimona: Dunno.
[...]
[7:21pm] ineffabelle: so what do you think my friends and i should do?
[7:23pm] Dimona: Huh? Oh, nothing. Just thought you guys might have wanted to see what you prevented, since you guys got Fenrir and Silica back together ^___^
[7:24pm] ineffabelle: oh... so are you saying that that post is something that could have happened if we hadn't intervened
[...]
[7:25pm] Dimona: Just... Fenrir's been known to be pretty... um... impulsive at times, y'know?
[7:26pm] ineffabelle: yes i've gathered...
[7:26pm] Dimona: I would have hated it if he changed his mind about staying here just because Big Sis is giving him the cold shoulder.
[7:26pm] Dimona: I mean, who'd be our singer in Rock Band if he left?
[7:27pm] Dimona: (jk Razz)
[7:27pm] ineffabelle: heh good point
[...]
[7:35pm] ineffabelle: well i have to run... is there anything else i should pass onto my friends before i go?
[7:36pm] Dimona: Umm...
[7:36pm] Dimona: Yeah.
[7:36pm] Dimona: Tell them I said Hi
[7:36pm] Dimona: ^___^
[7:36pm] ineffabelle: heh ok will do

 		I can't comment on question one, but for #2... If 'Nuke 'em from space' is not an option, I'll go with Stormbringer. Tactic? Don't roll a one.
Oh, for #3 it's got to be either 'The beating heart of my enemy' or .

 		Got a reply from Fenrir. I'm attaching the original email as well just so you can have a laugh at what I came up with Very Happy

Quote:
1) Pretty close. Elves like to pull the most advanced technology they can from other realities' timelines, regardless of how much of it they understand >_> Hate those guys. ANYWAY...
Elvish ships are usually made of mythril, so... You fail here. However, that's partly my fault, since I didn't describe the ship good enough. So, given the information I gave you, I suppose that's a pass. So, I'll let you slide.
2)Pass.
3) That deserves extra credit XD

So, overall, you pass Very Happy

Okay, here's the deal: The dudes down at the lab want me to test their new weapons system. It's called H.O.W.L., or the HOmonculi Wartime Linksystem. Basically, it allows us to pump out homonculi by the dozens so we don't have to sacrifice real soldiers, and lets us control them from a safe distance. And... they want me to test it. I've convinced them to set up a live broadcast, too, so you guys can watch. I have a huge feeling I'm gonna screw up, though, so your assignment, should you choose to take it, is to sign on and make sure I don't screw up XD

Sorry I had to make you jump through all these hoops just for that, but... You know... I had to hide this from potential enemies, something you guys obviously aren't Razz

I'll email you again when I've got that set up. Until then... Wink

I have no idea where you pulled that first question from Fenrir (Reminds me of some weird Fire Emblem/Space RTS mixup Razz) but here are my answers anyway:

1) From your description of the "Elven Gunship" (Which I'm guessing is a space one from the plasma turrets) the underside is clearly underdefended. Personally, I would have my mages focus on the underside, by having the archers constantly fire on the ship as covering fire, and the Pegasus Knights distracting the turrets with their fast moving Pegasi. The mages themselves, would scour the bottom with fire and water alternately, to cause a rapid expansion and contraction in the metal, until it eventually cracks, and breaks. From there, it would be a simple task of having them locate any electronics, and frying them with their lightning magic, causing the system to overload, and taking the ship down thanks to a lack of defense, attack weaponry, and propulsion.

2) Flaming Yo-Yo of Death! Just kidding Very Happy . For a weapon I'd choose a broadsword coated in silver (Seriously, silver is a malleable enough metal. It'd be hard enough to make a decent weapon out of it that isn't easily broken or bent) because traditionally Silver is strong against werewolves (In R-01 anyway) and they can be swung fast enough and are long enough to keep the wolf demons at bay. As for a tactic, I guess keeping them at bay and trying to knock them off one by one would be the best way for myself. (Curse you R-00'ers and your mastery of magic skills. It'd be a lot easier if we had them Razz)

3) Sandwich: Because you can put anything in one, which most of the time means half the kitchen's stock Very Happy

Anyway, there are your answers Fenrir. Hopefully they're to your liking (And not just crazy ramblings >.> )

So live video feed! Woohoo!

 		Ditto on the awesomeness of live feed. This oughta be fun Very Happy
And here's my answers and his response if anyone's interested. (It's nothing new or notworthy; I just wanted to show off my passing answers Wink ) I got the same response about HOWL, so I won't post that since it's above.
So does this mean Fenrir will be fighting the homunculi? My mind jumps to Full Metal Alchemist at the word homunculi, but does anyone know any actual mythology on them? From the context here I'm just guessing they're artificial humans.

well I looked up some info about homunculi *thanks wikipedia*:

Quote:
The concept of a homunculus (Latin for "little man", plural "homunculi"; the diminutive of homo, "man") is often used to illustrate the functioning of a system. In the scientific sense of an unknowable prime actor, it can be viewed as an entity or agent.

"Preformationism," a theory of heredity, claimed either the egg or the sperm (exactly which was a contentious issue) contained a complete preformed individual called a homunculus. Development was therefore a matter of enlarging this into a fully formed being. In the days of preformationism, genetic disease was variously interpreted: sometimes as a manifestation of the wrath of God or the mischief of demons and devils; sometimes as evidence of either an excess of or a deficit of the father's "seed"; sometimes as the result of "wicked thoughts" on the part of the mother during pregnancy.

basically yes it is some sort of artificial human-like being

If by 'fighting the homunculi' you mean using them to fight... Or that's what I got.

Ask and ye shall receive. More info then you could usually want.

 		Thanks for the info! Worshippy
So here's hoping something doesn't go horribly wrong with the homunculi and/or Fenrir during the video feed. Although it would be pretty cool if we got to see him go wolf...

 		Silica came into #fenrirchat this evening when I was the only one there so I will post it here.
The only thing of any importance was that some kids painted a Winged Guillotine on the South Wall. (I'm not sure why those words are capitalized but that's how she wrote them)
As far as I know Fenrir is the only one with wings that we know of, so a threat against him maybe?

[16:39] <Silica> Later on, Dimona was swimming around in the same area, and found an abandoned submarine base with a winged guillotine (A symbol that's synonymous with the anti-magic resistance here)

 		So basically a Winged Guillotine is the insignia of the Anti-Magic people.
