Any strong defenders/defenses of LAND ACROSS?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Greg

The imprint dolls are a pain, like playing with a deck full of wild 
cards. I guess we need to look for anything out of the ordinary, just as 
in a Wolf novel with androids.

(1) When the archbishop dies, there is a small bit of blood: "a tiny dot 
of red."

(2) The archbishop moves "a lot faster than I would have thought a man 
his age could."

(3) "People in movies scream all the way down," but "He did not make a 
single sound until he hit."

Very ambiguous. Unfortunately, I don't think we have a good idea of how 
the dolls behave, nor how the Undead Dragon would behave. The guy seemed 
pretty much like an old archbishop to me.
