I don't really care what it does. It doesn't even need to have any powers. Make it a wraithwing nest for aesthetics for all I care.

But we need something wherein we can move platforms and manipulate Stalwarts better.

Uhh... it's called a Fegundo.

Yes, except that stalwarts do not seek to slay fegundos, and to slay them /hard/.

Get a goblin and a stalwart on a platform and manipulate them both into not killing each other while you move them across the pit. You know, maybe some sorts of puzzles just aren't meant to be. Like moving a stalwart over a pit on a platform while he chases wraithwing nests - that doesn't sound like a load of fun to me.

actually that was sort of the exact puzzle I was trying to produce: connive a stalwart into crossing a pit via platform.

But I suppose.

OK, you have a Stalwart, a roach, and a cabbage that you need to get across a pit, on a platform that will only carry you and one of them at a time. If you leave behind...

It's too bad that in this case, both the roach and the Stalwart will eat each other (or try to) if left alone (without the cabbage...for some reason it has to be gone), and neither the roach nor the Stalwart is a threat to the cabbage, because they're carnivores, and dislike salads of all sorts.

Actually, that makes the puzzle easier.

This was actually the first thing I tried scripting in TCB. ^_^

It's actually been done without scripting at /all/.
