Why did Brand switch to nose and mouth handling rather than sticking to telekinesis? Is Roko noticing something particularly interesting about the arm?

I'm sure the large clawed armature holding a sword isn't impressive now, Brand, but man you can be thick sometimes.

When it was animated by the Puppetmancer, I'm sure it was a whole hell of a bloody lot more threatening.

Despite my abysmally low batting average, I'm down to two theories about the Puppetmancer.

1) The 'getting turned into a tree' thing was temporary, reversed, or never happened. Suzokon-kyo is the Puppetmancer, quietly working on a whole new kind of puppet to try the whole thing again.
2) Suzokon-kyo had a Sauron-Morgoth type of relationship with the Puppetmancer; Suzokon was once his apprentice, but when the Puppetmancer was destroyed, he quietly carried on as his protege, with the same goal as #1. Finish what his sensei started.

But I've been wrong PLENTY so don't take me too seriously. It'll be fun if I turn out to be right, though.

This thing I found in the dirt is not impressive.

Does Absol feel compelled to observe the disasters? If there's simultaneous disasters, which one does he pick? How far will he travel for one?

I realized the sword's shine was likely metallic, I was referring to the arm holding it.

Has to be metal. Note the circular joints, sharp claws, etc. That HAS to be metal; dirt wouldn't work for that.

The armature was buried and buried for a LONG time. Raised up, it's of course gonna be crusted over with dirt. And considering how cursed that object is, I'm not sure they're gonna want to go on an archaeological dig just now.

They have an important clue: They know this was a battlefield of the Puppet Wars. And more and more, the quetz seems to be key players in taking down the Puppetmancer.

Who has a beef with the quetz again?

Is it made of stone or crusted over?

Crusted over with dirt. The crust breaks off easily and it reveals a metal armature of some kind.

They found it by part of it reflecting like a mirror as the Long Patrol passes over.

My original theory was correct. There was a major battle in the Puppet Wars there and almost certainly the Puppetmancer himself was there to coordinate the assault. And whoever was counterattacking was using scorched earth weapons against the puppets. That must have been an UGLY battle.
