The No-God / Re: Will Akka and co even make it back to the TS?
« on: May 29, 2018, 07:28:44 pm »The Gnosis doesn't strike me as the sort of thing that you discover as much as something that's studied. The idea of spontaneously gaining new powers in times of stress is more in line with the Psukhe. Although now that I think about it, Akka stumbling on the Psukhe sounds really cool... :-)Or the right motivation ... TNG on your tail may well spark the creative juices and next thing you know you're back in TTS. Kellhus figured it out facing down 3 Cishaurim.
If this is going to be a "figure out your superpowers via immediate threat" kind of situation, I think Sranc are more likely than the actual No-God. Unless, of course, they do decide to go straight to a densely populated area, which doesn't seem to be the best choice, as has been discussed.
I'm guessing that by the time Kellhus first utters the Cant of Translocation to teleport from Kyudea toward Shimeh, he'd already worked out the mechanics. The Cant of Calling (basis for the CoT) is the first thing he insists Akka teach him. And during the same session, he asks about the second inutteral. So he had a few months to ponder at least.
