“Which leaves Cherish and Bonesaw,” Grue said. “We’ll have to trust Regent to give us the details on Cherish.”
Regent nodded and tapped his finger against his chin, “My sister. I don’t know if you could call her a third bishop or a knight. Long range on her power, gets stronger as she gets closer. Affects your emotions and as far as I’m aware, there’s no way to defend against it or to take cover.
I mean, a bishop and a rook aren’t all that different, really, though a rook has more access to the board and is usually better defensively.
If she decides she wants to hurt you or make you hurt yourself, she can find you and she’ll make it happen.”
Yeeah, she’s pretty scary.
“But she has no special defences,” Grue cut in. “She’s vulnerable to pretty much any knife, gun or power we can hit her with.”
That’s the one part where the idea of putting her as a rook falls apart, but the rook isn’t all that much more defended than the bishop, really. The idea that rooks are tough defensively is just fluff.
“Can we gang up on her?” Sundancer asked.
“She can affect multiple people at once,” Regent said. “So it’s not that easy.”
Trouble, that.
“That means we have to beat her at her own game,” Trickster mused, “Track her, beat her in long-range warfare.”
