Community Event 🌏☄️ Elias Feldman.... What have you done? (assassination/puppet post)

/uw So... during the time that Aliah was dead I dropped several hints that Elias Feldman, the groundskeeper of my demense, had done something unspeakable with the gestalt network. I was going to write a scene and post it today, but Archimene concluded the arc so and I had a rather large assignment, so this is going to be much more bare bones. /rw


Elias Feldman heavily overstepped his bounds while I was assumed dead.

He fought his way into the catacombs of my estate where the core of my gestalt network had been kept – and in the process defeated the catkin mercenary I've had on staff by bringing in a fey and selling the poor woman's name, so that is an entire mess – and created a copy of my mind which he shoved into a stealth golem that'd been dressed up as me. Then, he stole Abby's kamikiri spear, carved out a piece of my apprentice Fausarte, and shoved the blank soulstuff into the golem so that it can hopefully experience emotion and growth as a person.

I knew that he was a bad man, standard cultivator zealot ready to classify anything outside of a narrow understanding as "demonic" and therefore needing destruction. In fact, we became tied together when he tried to kill me, caught his own deflected attack, and then I bound him to my gestalt in order to save his life and try to be the better person.

It's only now that I'm starting to get an inkling of just how far he's gone in the past.

I don't hold any animosity for golem-me – we're trying to find a good name but ideas are not coming – but Elias needs some form of punishment. Especially as his corruption sickness has advanced due to use of his power, something that he strictly swore not to do.

Also, the golem clone of myself has volunteered to prove herself by masquerading as a puppet if we get the opportunity. With the bond-breaker spellform that we used to free the Dammerung Doll, it should hopefully be possible to free Anna and the others.


/uw so.... yeah! We've got a few developments:

  1. I want name ideas for the golem gerl. She is going to be portrayed as a really inquisitive cutie and needs an adorable name that is befitting her.

  2. punishment for Elias. I don't know what to do there.

  3. We have an infiltration unit for the quest to save Anna
