[k] [charaFace D 25] @Da Vinci ...Koyanskaya's forces here are basically a smorgasbord of things she scooped up from the Lostbelts. [k] [charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut K 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Taigong Wang In general, yes. [k] @Taigong Wang The six types of Lostkin mostly stick to their own territories, except for the few that go out on patrol. [k] @Taigong Wang The Lostweapons, on the other hand, exist to defend their bases and provide additional military power when the situation calls for it. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut K 0,0] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 25] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci Just like that reproduction of Ivan the Terrible was doing earlier.

Both the kin and the weapons have been positioned extremely effectively. [k] @Taigong Wang Koyanskaya knows exactly where this land's leylines are, so even after you kill some kin, new ones come to replace them at regular intervals. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut K 0,0] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 24] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci So the kin basically respawn infinitely...and you two have been fighting them all on your own.

[charaFadeout D 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut K 1200,1200] [charaTalk C] [charaFace C 5] [charaFadein C 0.1 1] @Taigong Wang We owe it all to my amazing talent for turning tail and running from danger!

[messageOff] [charaFace C 1] [wt 1.2] [charaFace C 5] @Taigong Wang That said, thoroughly exterminating the kin does give you some time to breathe, so fighting them is hardly meaningless. [k] [charaFadeout C 0.1] [wt 0.1] [charaPut K 0,0] [charaTalk D] [charaFace D 14] [charaFadein D 0.1 1] @Da Vinci ...So, Koyanskaya completely controls the leylines here, huh?

[k] @Taigong Wang They're disconnected from her magical energy, too. They're all completely independent.
