Tentacled monstrocity: "Hey, Kolabati, you should give Glaeken your necklace in order to help destroy us....blah, blah, blah......" :p
Bluesman Mike Lindner Wrote:Y'see, Jimbow, your collection might lack the unedited samizdat edition I glory in. It seems the tentacled monstrosity is actually a pretty nice guy once you get to know him. Quick with a joke, or to light up your smoke, and always ready to buy the bar a beer. Sometimes you just gotta make the effort to understand these fellas. :pThat'll teach me to judge a book by its cover. I guess all tentacled monstrosites are not "bad guys" - just misunderstood.

If you wonder that, then you probably like the additions to Stephen King's The Stand which includes the armed forces enforcing martial law.......with "extreme prejudice."
jimbow8 Wrote:Also keep in mind the sheer panic that would be caused by a giant pit opening in the Sheep Meadow with demons from Hell pouring forth. Even the military might be a little taken aback by that.
Biggles Wrote:Marines and other elite forces aren't taken aback by anything. It would just be like DOOM in real life. The bravery of fighting men (and now women) who believe in their cause is limitless. When faced with pure evil like the forces of the Otherness, and when defending their loved ones from that evil, the military forces of every country would fight to the death, as would the militia in those countries where one existed. Just my opinion.
