Child of the 7th Age:
It's a small world, after all.
Susan Delgado:
Good questions:
1) Just how exactly are you non-corporeal creatures planning to force Anna and Calimiel back into the cell?
MY REPLY:
There are ways.
2) Even if you can become solid enough to speak aloud or hold (throw) objects, you have nowhere near the physical strength of a genuine flesh-and-bone creature, even a weak and starved one.
MY REPLY:
If you wish, I'll send you via PM the website URL to an article with information on a particular case of poltergeist activity so graphically violent and horrible that I've decided against posting it on the public thread.
3) If you're thinking of killing us rather than let us remain free, that would hardly accomplish your goal of teaching us a lesson, would it?
MY REPLY:
Good point ... of course, Maladil's lucidity waxes and wanes according to his current temper.
4) As far as I'm concerned, after we give the dead Men a proper burial (I and Anna have no substantive objections to that) we could just walk out of the Castle, walk right through the front gate and meet the living folk as they arrive.
MY REPLY:
Fascinating plan. Should Calimiel and Anna have such an opportunity, it will be intriguing to see the results of your attempt. I can tell you right now that despite their new physical bodies, their spirits remain bound by Maladil's curse. However, if Anna and Calimiel manage to walk out as far as they are able to the boundaries of the Castle grounds, it is indeed possible for them to meet with the living folk as they arrive.
5) The Ghosts can't hold the doors closed strongly enough to prevent us from simply pulling them open, ...
MY REPLY:
Debatable. (See Poltergeist website mentioned above.)
6) And even if there are any locking doors on the lower floors (which I doubt), who has the keys? Not Celumeomaryu, I'm guessing. She has only the Dungeon keys, doesn't she?
MY REPLY:
The Butler normally carries quite a prodigious set of jangly keys, meaning that certainly there are plenty of lockable doors within the Castle ... though this topic is more a matter for a PM rather than a public discussion post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
