How to run The Mountain
VoiceMinimal. A sentence from The Mountain is extravagant.
WantsTo stay exactly where he is. To watch the whole dance from the one still seat. To not be relocated by housekeeping.
Do this nowThe Mountain receives — the immovable endpoint; the monster hits him 'the way the sea hits a cliff, and the way the sea loses.'
“The Kingdom moved. I didn't.”
The party's anchor, literally. His art is staying — and from the one spot he never leaves, he is the only mouse positioned to notice that all the town's frantic motion goes in circles that never arrive. When the world edits his ground four inches, he steps back onto the old true coordinate, off the map, choosing his own geometry against the housekeeping of heaven.
Fights best beside — The whole party's anchor. Every plan that ends '…and funnel it to The Mountain' is a good plan.
