It could just as well result in her becoming an overconfident megalomaniacal bitch who doesn't listen to us. I advise caution.

The chains are likely linked to her powers in some way, because they are attached to her tattoos, which also seem to be associated with her powers. And since the nomad princess (unless she was lying) broke the barrier on Fireclaw's power, it is fairly likely they do something useful.

Can we use our magic perceptions to locate/identify where the other end of these chains go ?

>>300084
but we have no idea what we are doing... "lets smash stuff in her brain because she has issues" MIGHT fix her, but seems more likely to make her worse.

We can convince her that having magic capable underlings is beneficial to her once she awakens rather then taking such a risk

Does anyone else feel like we've been blundering about uselessly here? How'd it get to be like this?
Do we have a quest-dis?

chains bind self define change break repair

>>307440
...Chains bind the self and define the self. We can change them, break them, or repair them.

That's my interpretation.

Hmmm,
The circle has words on it, in the upper right is says magic and in the lower left it says knowledge.

top left says power. but are these restraints or goals or amplifiers? would breaking them all make her more powerful? or would fixing them do that?
let's use
Define Magic

>>307440
What's in the lower right?
I'm tempted to say to break the barbed wire, but the chains are making her bleed.

Maybe we should fix the concepts she's attached to?

Rather than breaking, see if we can drag them with her!
-Her form draped with chains, not bound, but loose, the chains are hers, she is not the chains, pull and hold, chaos in the links. Remember You are and were Fire Claw, a Gnoll, but NOW You are the Mistress of Fire and Chains, AWAKEN!-

Madcap attempt at breaking the chains, freedom/ultimate personality wipe, fixing them maintaining self, then changing them so that they drape themselves on her form, seizing power.

I think its whats important to her,
Magic and Knoweldge are both very clear and readable.
Power isn't as important but could be repaired to make it much more so.
The one in the lower right isn't to important right now and isn't readable, so it could be repaired or changed to something else.

>>307468
Repair the words, LENGTHEN the chains, cut away the barbed wire.

Part of me says that we should just assist her in whatever she's trying to do. We might not know enough about everything to justify an educated guess. Other than that... this >>307479

okay why is everyone saying to take an action right now when we can use define and maybe get a better idea of what is happening?

>>307493
no clue... we got lucky and this is ridiculously oversimplified so we have 50% chance of destroying her and 50% of improving her... But we are still going "durr hurr lets break shit in her brain and hope it improves her"

>>307440
Define EVERYTHING. More information is required.

>>307504
I think 'defining' might mean more than just looking at it more closely. It likely makes it more prominent as well. So we should try slightly defining something we would like in focus anyway (if that is what it does), like Magic. We should also avoid breaking things that we don't know the function of.

break barbed wire

>>307512
Cut barbed wire. Carefully.

Wait, before breaking the wire, there is something we should check. At least two of the wires have non-chain connections, (one to MAGIC and one to POWER), so the wires might be forming new chains, which are apparently useful
So:
Delay [break wires] order
Define [non-chain strands] (the yellow lines between the concepts and Fireclaw that are not chains)
While we are at it, Define [white winged thing]

WIRE reacts intention cut form connections

erroneous definition no WHITE no WING in representation

Define SELF.

i think the broken one is trust!
define trust.
destroy wire!

>>307524
CUT WIRE! Repair trust.

As we speak some LINES appear to turning into WIRES, which are creating new LINES which are routing into the (CORE?). One one hand this is somewhat worrying, but on the other hand (Core?) seems to be glowing brighter, so they may be connecting her more directly to the magic.
Maybe try {Define} [CORE] (the thing that is glowing brighter as more LINES attach to it)?
We should not yet cut the WIRES, but we should see if we can {Halt} the LINE/WIRE growth until we can get a better idea what it is doing.
I am going to have to go to sleep now, try not to break stuff too hastily while I am not there.

-END OF CHAPTER-

>>307568
Welp. That's a thing. I like the new look.

i dunno if this is good or bad.

Our little fireclaw is looking a bit... Hot

>>307570
Bad without a doubt. Fireclaw's a damn living seal for some sort of Old One or the nearest equivalent. We're going to need to step lightly from now on.

*Facepalm* Aww... I became one of those people. The ones who's attempts to study the mysterious and sinister event keeps them from destroying it before it grows uncontrollable. *shame*

At least it did not turn out nearly as badly as it could have. We blew a hole in our mountain, (and are possibly now in some sort of demonic pact), but Fireclaw seems sane, and she doesn't have any writhing tentacles or extra eyes.
