713 The Other Kind of Meetings
All night long the meetings dragged on, with nearly every petitioner asking for the same thing, more powerful weapons for their people's defence. Some, like the wrath demon that was looking after the bears, planned to bring their own, but the vast majority had realized that the rifles were more suitable for the job, as long - ranged combat reduced casualties.
The Demons and the Fae might not have been extensively exposed to technology in the past, but now that they had experienced the wonders that were inscribed weapons, they were beginning to understand the human saying "don't bring a knife to a gunfight". It was just good common sense when the guns could actually harm you, unlike the mundane versions that had a very difficult time breaking even a Rank Two armour spell.
