[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!]

Yes.

I do think it's going to take some tandem efforts rather than any one single ability, but if we have something to weaken them like intensive sunlight, and gravity manipulation to exert a great deal of force, that might suffice to remove them.

Can you use it from a distance?

I have to touch them first, but once I touch them I can use it from any distance.

I'm not sure how safe they are to touch directly. But if you're willing to risk it, we can contrive a very strong attack on them.

Yeah, of course. I'll take the risk. We usually come out just fine when we collaborate like this, so I'm not worried.

[Him saying this immediately, without even consulting his team first.]

. . . do you have to touch the claws, or can you touch the statue and affect it that way?

I have to touch what I want to affect specifically. Like, I can touch you and send you flying, but I can't throw your shoes off unless I touch your shoes specifically. They would just go along with you wherever otherwise.

[A pause.]

I wonder if I could force the eye closed if I touched that though...

[also a pause]

Let's shelf doing anything to the eye itself for now.

We don't know what touching the claws directly would do, so I'm a bit worried about you doing that.
