and it just strikes me that that final clause—"if you cannot, you lose"—seems like it might have been intended to be on both these powers? Especially since there's no other reason to care about totem piles after you can occupy all the locations.
Hello fox, if you want to play it that way, perhaps in a difficult setting (H or L), no one can stop you. :-D
It is hard to tell what is the intention here. You can support the sun totem at your location, so unless you move, you are fine. The totem pile (to my understanding) is a way how to mechanically implement that you are trying to keep more totems upright than the number of people - that seems to be the challenge.
I would not go as far as saying there is no other reason to care about totem pile at your location, if all locations are occupied. The barrier Treacherous Tunnels can move you anywhere at random - and if you happen to examine the Pack Landshark in another location, you have to move to it. Oops - if you did not care about your location's totem or have no way of moving back, you have to scramble to save the day.
