Contemplating: Utility Corpses in Necromancy

An expansion on thoughts on bones by incorporating the whole body with what manages to be a series of functional ghoul, wight or mummified type undead with great capability. Lets start with what is not needed; purifying organs.

The kidneys, liver, bladders and intestine serve no quality purpose in crafting an undead for any purpose beyond anatomical model or test subject for poisons. Excluding those, you can create a lighter and more mobile construct via these means alone. Now replacing those organs with other material depend on what is being achieved, which brings us to containing/processing organs.

The lungs and stomach process basic needs for a living body, and depending on how youve constructed your creature these elements can be useful. A beast living on magic alone either in travel or combat can be taxing, even with the economic quality of necromantic spells. To give the stomach a fuel tank system, pouring whatever qualifying food stuff you choose into the throat or a carved and created intake hole, and managing its maintenance that way can be beneficial and reset the weight removed previously to maintain natural equlibrium if desired. I suggest blood or other liquefied nutrients as they port and hold better than solid food-fuels, even when spoiled.

Lungs cna become something more unique for at-home use given their proper use in living beings; gas production. By that, I mean much more complex gasses than just carbon dioxoide. With the proper understanding of chemicals and metabolization it could be possible to carry a simple spray of something inert and spray it into your constructs mouth so you can produce a gas of any need or measure. For a macabre laugh, consider a corpse clown that breathes out helium gas or laughing gas that can change pitch and bring humor to anyone close enough.

for those of the more martial mind, a strong thing to consider for scaffolding and tension is tongues. With tongues from various humanoid and non-humanoid sources one could cosider making something with an abdomen so well built and tight that it could lift, twist and even bend such large structures that siege weaponry could be managed in short order. Further muscle expansion and reinforcement over joints would definitely be benefited from tongues though the bone and tendon material would need more care as with enough force these can be damaged by the muscles themselves.

As we arent working with metals the next best thing we can do is replace the durable materials of dead beings closer to such durable materials. Dragons are an easy reflex to go to, but think carefully about how different beasts move and their resistances to not just heat but friction and elemental wear such as shock. Creatures that move between extreme heat and cold such as yeti or winter wargs may give better results than magically charge dragons.

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.

Commit to the work

Being faithful with opportunities God give you while also trusting him with the variables that are out of your control. (Prov 16:3) IT takes intentional effort, continual surrender, and genuine trust to commit to your work to the Lord. Throughout scripture there is all kinds of work:

farming

building

pastoring

leading

parenting

fishing

doctorining

designing

singing

writing

engineering

sheparding

etc

Commit your work to God by:

honor him with your efforts

value the people you interact with

faithfully returning the tithe

promote truth and love

live graciously and generously

thoughtfully utilizing your time

leveraging your God given creativity to glorify him

you can plant a seed in good soul, position it for ideal sunlight, water it consistently but above all its God who gave you the seed and its God who makes the seed grow. Our job is obedience Gods job is everything else. So, whatever you do, commit your work, your efforts, and your life to Him and watch Him work through you.

God is good and that will never change. Gods' mercy is everlasting never to expire. It is because of Gods mercy we have the confidence in Him that we have Gods word will reign supreme for eternity. Every day we are shown more and more of the depths of Gods love, wisdom and mercy.

Thank God for waking you up, pray for those who don't have or need. Give thanks to God for everything. Count your blessings always. Do not take the vow to follow Jesus lightly Give thanks- Thanksgiving should be every day.
