Hotlist Triggers

Hotlist

Inventory quick-slot list; Carl loads the Samantha head-chucker onto his ahead of the god handoff.

Story so far

With Emberus closing in and Samantha hovering petulantly nearby, Carl opens his inventory and moves the Samantha Head-Chucker Attachment for his Xistera onto his hotlist — putting it one thought away from equipped for the moment he decides to throw her.

Donut immediately identifies the trap in the design: once he's using the head thrower, he can't take it off, so the instant Emberus lifts Samantha from it the god is summoned straight to Carl and they both burn.

Role

The quick-access mechanic Carl uses to stage the handoff of Samantha.
