Parson is Level 2 and is noted to have only led one major battle, leaving people not familiar with him confused as to why the people that HAVE seen him in action consider him to be so important. The advent of modern guns changes the equation further. Skyy Appletini, Transvylto's newest warlord who is only a few turns old, croaks enough enemy units in a single turn to rocket up in levels, meaning she's suddenly the highest authority in the city despite having absolutely no experience.
Association Fallacy : After Ansom and Wanda start spreading the Toolism gospel, everyone who knows about Charlie having the Arkendish assume this means he's Toolist as well, even people who know about Charlie take it as writ when Charlie's only cause is himself.
Astonishingly Appropriate Appearance : One of the rules of Erfworld. Signamancy is a branch of magic that causes units to appear in a way that reflects what they are and their personality. As a unit's personality changes, their appearance will change with them. Though this seems to have been broken with Olive Branch who remains youthful and gorgeous after in-universe centuries of betrayal, murder, insanity and outright sociopathy.
Presumably a powerful Signamancer would be able to read the Signs in her appearance, and knowing the comic they would be a reference to a Femme Fatale in our culture, but none of the viewpoint characters have that perspective. Authority Equals Asskicking : Nobles and royals have higher stats and level faster than others. Awakening the Sleeping Giant : The Magic Kingdom is a place for barbarian casters and has a stance of neutrality towards all of Erfworld's wars.
Since they wouldn't let Parson in, Parson decides that he has no problem with breaking their rules, and antagonizes them by breaching their neutrality and smuggling in an army of decrypted. After the fighting between Gobwin Knob and Charlescomm croaks several free casters in the crossfire, and Jojo successfully pins all the blame on Gobwin Knob, all of the free casters go to war with Gobwin Knob. Awesome by Analysis : Parson. If two casters participate in addition to the Thinkamancer then the resulting gestalt can create whole new spells or effects no single caster could even attempt.
After such fusions the individuals retain only vague memories of how they did it, but usually gain greater insight into their own discipline from seeing game mechanics that are normally hidden from them. This seems to be another example of An Aesop above of the benefits of bringing in outside thinking.
Back from the Dead : The attuned Arkenpliers can apparently resurrect "decrypt" dead units, when before, all anyone could do was reanimate "uncroak" them as undead units. The implications of this power are mind-boggling. The first unit raised this way was Ansom. Badass Boast : As you'd expect in a war story, there are a few of these. Parson: I am not here to fight. These troops and warlords are my personal guard. I'm not gonna try and take over the Magic Kingdom or anything.
But if anybody takes a shot at me, or gets in my way again, then you can expect to join my personal guard. Stanley: I want someone who eats marbits [a creature] for breakfast!
Marshmallow bits. They come in some breakfast cereals. Parson: This isn't what I wished for. Wanda: Hah! You didn't wish for this world, Parson Gotti. It wished for you. Stanley: I want him to be obsessed with war. Somebody who plans wars and kills his foes for fun. Jack: It was a strange day; I spent much of it as a bird.
Parson's journal Like it's been made safe for children. The people even look like children. Except that then they die.
What is that? Jojo: Well friends? Is he Parson in there? Isaac: I'm not inclined to say, given that you tried to assassinate him. Field units disband, and this city becomes 'neutral', which is not as nice as it sounds.
Units here freeze in time. We can do nothing until attacked. Ansom takes a few turns to get his ducks aligned and then curb stomps us. Posbrake: He may indeed be a treacherous schemer, but he has no idea what a little Carnymancy can do to one's best-laid plans. Archon: We weren't defeated.
We won! Your body lies in state upon the rooftop. See it? Slately: Be at ease. That is only my double. Lloyd Elliot created it, and it expended itself nobly in the fight. Tramennis: Father Jillian: Only instead of a perfect philosopher-prince like he wanted? He got a swordswinging madwoman, who knows exactly which fork to use to pluck out an eyeball Ansom: Far left. Jillian: What? Ansom: The smaller fork, with the one stronger tine.
That's for the salad. Jillian: Oh it is the eyeball one. Wanda: He looks like a pink you, but with depth perception. Wanda: You, too, are an instrument of Fate. You will suffer, as you pursue your path. Re: What happened during the Summer Updates I shall provide a succinct, spoiler heavy summary. However, Parson's fine with this due to his new distaste of killing. By the end of the updates they've reclaimed 11 cities, thanks to Ansom's good tactics, the Decrypting power of the Arkenpliers to replenish losses and the occasional input from Parson.
However sides like Unaroyal have been lost, due to the Queen committing suicide learning her daughter was decrypted. He's spending a lot of time and money getting FAQ set up, much to the concern of Ceaser. He's not out yet though. He seems to be preventing Gobwins, Gobwin Knob's natural allies, from popping, and he's also working secretly with Jillian on their own goal. That's pretty much everything important I can think of.
