I'm Alex Bradley, the “evil genius” behind Miskatonic U. I am a writer, illustrator, and animator with an unhealthy fixation on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. By the way, this is a drawing.
I almost expect to see a sign reading “In case of emergency, break glass.” Understand that I’m coming from a literary/mythic background & not a gamer when I ask just HOW easy will it be to release the shard? If anyone else saw an online item about a welder fulfilling a bet with a caged bottle of whiskey, you’ll get my drift.
In these cases it is not usually hard to get at the McGuffin. The real fun comes from “how does it work?” Running screaming while waving it in the air seldom succeeds in doing anything except mildly amusing the monster.
And the Tindalosi are alien, after all. Reactions could range from “There’s that thing, I’ll take it and forget about the humans, cause I’ve got my shiny” to “kill kill kill, oooh, shiny!” to “But the time of surrender and gift-giving is past. Silly humans, now is the time for death/cake/high-fives”

And I suspect that a vigorous game of fetch with the creature/keep-away from the humans will amuse the beastie for only so long.
