Now that everyone's had a few days to recover from that disaster, does anyone have any idea what the fuck was going on in that forest?

[He rarely swears, but give him a break here.]

I can think of only two reasons: The first possibility is that they simply cast a wide net, uncaring what they caught in it. The second is that perhaps even the soulless had something of value.

If nothing else, they could be used as bait. Sometimes you use a smaller fish as a lure for a bigger one, like using a sardine to catch a salmon.

...I never considered they were bait. If they were, then it is something about us new gods and shinki that the forest wanted.

But it's only a possibility yet. Unfortunately, I lack enough experience in this world to truly know much of anything about this world.

[Unfortunately, it's only been a few days for him, all things considered.]

But I think the one truth we can hold for sure: We will not have seen the last of this cult. We may have stopped them this time, but they will likely be better prepared the next time, if they are at all worth their salt.

[brynwieldr]

That's what I'm afraid of.

Then we best start planning our own countermeasures. Learn their weaknesses from what we gleaned. Some way to resist those infernal spells they used, and failing that, finding a way to grow strong enough to destroy them without powers.

They aren't the only ones who can grow and adapt, after all.
