Storm:...A 'Sciz?'

*Storm has no clue what you're referring to.*

Tazz: Awesome, we agree on that much, and that's what we'll focus on. There is just one thing...The Dark Writs...

...OK, calling them Dark Writs at this point is getting redundant, I'm a Dark Writ and half of their upper echelon isn't a Dark Writ...We'll just call them the Ragnak, OK?

But the Ragnak? They are powerful to extents that I'm not even aware of, and they've just gotten a huge boost to their power due to some...Unfortunate accidents. *slight glare at Sivelos* However, they are not just all power no brain-they've got more brain then power! They are intelligent, easily adaptive, cunning, manipulative, smooth talkers, charming in a few cases, and if all else fails, very good brainwashers, and Freedom's a master of Mind manipulation like you wouldn't believe on top of all that. They can easily sway others to the cause, even if they wouldn't normally do so...So destroying everything in sight, unless it's a Dungeon, is going to cause more trouble than good, as much as it pains me to say it. I like killing things, a LOT. It's a passion of mine. But we've gotta be very careful about what we want to blow up in the future...Or what we DON'T.

Why? Well, I can guarantee it already: we'll meet people with lethal mugs made of pizza they shoot 424-digit number damage crabmeat at us with when they're agonizing over what to get at the gas station stores five blocks over. We'll meet wild animals with torsos made of root beer cans and teeth made of nuclear anime characters, who proceed to weaponize Gatorade with their minds and left digits while spewing X-man refrences from their spine. We'll meet talking, 30-foot tall flamingo/rhinocerious hybrids who duel each other by way of dancing on red staplers the size of minivans and seeing who mentions flagellation first while they're at it. And we'll most definitely meet things that make you look like-*picks a bug off of the ground, a mere ant*-this, power-wise, things that'll look like bratwursts tied to wigs made of telescopes. On top of all of that, I have a bad feeling we're going to be seeing things that NOTHING should ever see, ever, for so many good reasons.

But first...Baal. The Legendary Tyrant Overlord. He had the Archeon first, apparently, and it's one of the three keys to unlocking the Voidial Drydocks-and that means the Dark Writs can attempt to kill The Black sooner rather than later, and now they've got the troops to outdo the Wraithguard in sheer numbers. Dark Chaos got it somehow, and Baal's never been beaten in one-on-one battle before, so that's...Very curious why he'd do that. Oh, and he may know where the Arms of Atlas are, the second key and the one we don't have. He's the guy to ask on where to go next, really...We've gotta find that guy. If we get all three keys to the Voidial Drydocks, the Ragnak will hopefully be in a pickle.

On the other hand, the Ragnak will likely go for the Elder Souls in the 3rd Superdimension first, and I'm detecting 4 pings and no Blackout zones over there! This means we could get 4 Elder Souls if we're fast...Or they could get 4 Elder Souls, and that is a serious shift in power either way.

...UGH! These tough tactical choices, and I keep deferring to Sivelos! Well, maybe it's why I'm only the leader for combat situations, I think better in a fight than out of it. Silvy, what's your take on it?

Tazz: Do we Find And Question Baal or Track The Elder Souls? or...Is there Something Else that's worth looking for sooner rather than later instead you can think of?
