It's a good question. If they're mindless--and Argothoth has referred to them as such--then they couldn't add to his number of followers or his DRP, could they? They'd be more like a resource than a following...
(This is less a complaint than an attempt to prompt some kind of commentary from Xar on the subject.)

Which is exactly the case... you didn't think all the dead of Eiran's history amounted to little more than one million corpses, did you? A good, if conservative estimate would be that anything between 5 and 10 times that number are mindless undead, though of course there could be even more. Additionally, there are roughly another million undead who have a mind, and were torn from the afterlife with no choice of their own, but who have not chosen to worship Argothoth (might have turned to other gods, or might simply be too much in pain and too confused to make a choice yet).Stonemaybe wrote:Unless he's got a million with minds and the majority on top of that are mindless.......
EDIT: Also, the undead are STILL rising from the ground... the oldest dead who were awakened by Argothoth's necromancy are only now reaching the surface of Eiran. Although most of these will be mindless, expect Argothoth's number of followers to grow more this turn.
MUUUUUUUUAHAHAHAHAHAAHHA

Will this hinder the speed in which the Turn is processed?

Cousin, you seem to rejoice in Brother Moxinomal's ascendence, more so than others. Have you taken on a vassal? Declare it if you have!

Weaknesses:
Sunlight can easily destroy an illusion wraith. Spells that duplicate the effects of direct sunlight can destroy a wraith as well. Positive energy is also a weakness of the illusion wraiths.

Gladly, if found to be needed.
Ah...like Astavyastataa Kadna, you both rush to conclusions. None of these beasts described have proved to be viable on Eiran yet. We will not know of their fate until the AllFather tallies the votes.Argothoth wrote:ehi, undine, are you fearing my shadows?

you're more advanced than a cockroach,
have you ever tried explaining yourself
to one of them?

i've had this with actors before, on the set,
where they get upset about the [size of my]
trailer, and i'm always like...take my trailer,
cause... i'm from Kentucky
and that's not what we brag about.

We need to have a micro-Watch chip implanted into Xar's head.

I am the self-fulfilling prophecy. Give love, and you WILL receive love. Let your every answer, your every action and reaction, your every desire, be rooted in love.

AllFather, I know I'm not imagining it. I see you on the Watch, even though you told us we wouldn't.
Any cryptic hints yet?
