Creed sent the following report to TMN:
Hail Para,
I know that you and most exiles are aware of the many incursions by ethereal creatures into the Puddleby area. I do not pretend to understand the meaning of these attacks, but I have tried to help defend our town by healing our fighters and mystics as needed.
Recently, I and my clansister Sabine were among a large group of exiles trying to clear ethereal creatures from the snell south of east farm. Wangah Rah was among us, and we noticed this strange behavior by the ethereal slugs. Whenever Wangah would fall, the slugs would surround him, but pause as if asleep or waiting for something. It was very odd! I don't know what it means, but I offer this sketch in case some exile with more understanding of the planar ruptures and such can use this information.
Cheers,
-Creed
What are you talking about, lol. Ethereal slugs automatically head for a fallen, regardless of whether they are part of a Clan Lord plot or not.

Posted by: Wangah Rah on March 18, 2007 06:51 PMSeems like the odd part was that the slugs acted semi-dormant while they were focusing on fallen Wangah. You could attack the outer ones, and they would just sit there. Does this always happen with ethereal slugs, when there is a fallen nearby?
Posted by: Zhane on March 19, 2007 02:22 PMI think that's what happens with all the "eaters". They really focus on dead bodies. It's a wonderful way to hold the slugs still, unless you don't have enough Horus ;)
