WHO: anyone who wants to PREPARE FOR TROUBLE
WHERE: idk somewhere in the pasture that's relatively comfortable. library?
WHEN: nebulous day 51 between shenanigans

[shepherds of sheepgame y'all get a call from Charon at some point:]

We can agree that there's a new foe in the mists with real and active intent to endanger us all, correct? As they've done us the courtesy of a warning strike and not an all-out offensive from the start, let's meet and come up with a plan of action together. I'm sure we're all looking to our barns individually, but it's better if a direct threat never gets that far in.

If people in your flock or Weeds your flock is friendly with want to present some suggestions and solutions themselves, or just attend to stay informed, please have them attend as well.

[WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN, i'll put up some headers, let people know what you/your team are doing or planning under the appropriate ones so that other people can chime in with suggestions and assistance! HANDWAVE YOU GOT TOLD IF YOU WANNA BE THERE.

Charon is not going to be responding to Absolutely Everything because i am but one player but everyone feel free to jump each other. i'll sort out a summary at the end as needed.

ETA: SUMMARY IS here, if you wanna get involved with anything on the list please assume you overheard something about it during the meeting and hit up the other people involved!]

[hmmm]

Can you set a spell that would go off on its own, or does your magic always require conscious activation?

I have to activate it. The lightning comes from me.

So we'll need something to alert you to do that.

It's doable. I wonder if we can run the metal through the lazy river to spread the effect?

Um, if we have a live wire in the lazy river, effect will be paralyzing everything in the lazy river.

That is in fact the intent, though in that scenario I meant to clear out the wildlife...mm, it does have connections to all our ponds, though, which makes things more difficult. Pity.

A separate channel, then, if we take that route.

Or electric fence instead... Can still, um, throw lightning at part of river if I see lots of enemies in it. Won't be widespread damage, but will be scary.

With traps and tripwires being installed, we'll have to be careful that your lightning won't set off all the other measures. It should be possible, but we'll see.

...from what little people are gleaning of the souce of the mushrooms' location it sounds like it's in a water source, too, so your power might be an option for dealing with that if it's tracked down.

Water? Like in woods? Or misty side of lake?

'Water' is all we know. I suspect it's in the pasture itself, but that's still the lake, lazy river, ponds, and ocean...

Either more people will need to eat mushrooms, or we hope the eel brothers get lucky.

Are some people that talk to animals. Maybe frogs could help the eel brothers... Or if is in water source, fish and gators might be avoiding it or acting weird.

[huh]

If they don't have the capability themselves, Rubato should be able to help. Either with the talking or with pinpointing animals behaving strangely.

Biscuit and Tart can talk to animals too. Think probably Belle also can.

And Aides and Pegasus, then, likely. Everyone from their school must have taken it as mandatory if it's that widespread.

[exhales]

All right. There's plenty to try.

Good chance something will work.
