[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

First of all: I extremely happy in see you back my friend. Truly.

Secondly: Don't beat yourself mate. You did your best and what was available to you at the time. I...agree that the fusion with Zoetti could be better, but it already pass the situation. You did what you though would be the best decision. And I agree with the fact I could have react on a better way to handle the situation and not let things scalate as I did. But all I can do is learn from the mistake, control my temper, and avoid this from happen again.

Third: I been enjoying quite a lot actually. The battles has been challeging in my opinion. Despite the deadly danger ahead of us, I enjoying surpassing such perils. And I do agree these kind of mega bosses be only use from time to time. I like a challenge just like the next cool guy, but deadly situation all the time can be very tiresome so having moments of peace is good. It is something I comment with Dragonstrike in one of our Voice Calls: Having pivoting moment after pivoting moment of campaighs can be overwhelming, so having moments of peace to gather our thoughs, and buff our characters (both in a mental sense as individuals and stronger in the sense of train our Pokemons and get powerfull) will be as much important in future battles ahead. Specially with Oz situation since there still issues with her Coven to deal it. Which will be towards Fortuna, Hecate, Dite and now Zoete if I ever get the chance to speak with her. So yeah, there still problems to deal it. Less deadly but still not easy.


Fourth: As for the immediately threat of the super boss himself, I don't need to dwell much in that question: I say we Stay on Course. I will make Oz words my own: I want to see what future have in store for me, and I want to fight alongside all. Yes, I aware the Super Boss will focus on me due to Oz nuke its strongest servant, but thats something I counting. After all the job of a Healer is to handle the pain of others. Specially in this situation since Oz is the one with the best chance of tank the Super Boss powers (despite its double weakness to Ghost types due to Mega Hecate Ability). Time to Oz show her power and show the world why the Sky Scimitar are awesome!

*Bows* Thank you, buddy of mine. I'm grateful you continue to be on board my Wild ride, and once more I promise to give you a good time as possible without driving into as many potholes along the way!

Very well. I'm hard on myself because I don't want to make such mistakes again, but I'll lay off on it if you think enough is enough.

All things noted, and I can assure you that I plan to keep things 'quiet' for a bit after the Super Boss is resolved. I'll do my best with Oz and his Coven's interdynamic relationships, but how that'll turn out in the long run depends on how well you execute things there too.

Do note that if you go the 'Stay the Course' Route that I'm liable to not Use Dice at all outside of some select instances, since that mechanical aspect is what takes a huge amount of time and introduces the most volatility in the game. You and everyone elses contributions would likely amount to telling me what your PCs do, how they react to specific Things that I'll outline, and overall individual factors of them and their Mons. From there I'd try my best to weave a satisfying Fight and Narrative with just enough Randomness to keep things interesting for everyone.

In this style Oz is likely to be the Barrier Maiden and HUGE Aggro sink for the Super Boss, so if you do choose to Fight the Super Boss you're going to be pressed up against a sandy wall BIG TIME.

Also, do keep THIS in mind: Going with Fayette is literally the only way you can truly undo the horrors and DEATH that the Super Boss caused, and that accepting Option #1 doesn't directly cost your or any PC anything . If you are particularly intent on Oz/Zoeti being a Heroic Healer then the most IC and heroic thing you can do is let a 'god' take care of things, even if it costs you desired glory, adversity, and the immediate chance to prove yourself in a grand way. Yeah, it won't be as satisfying, but think of it like this: without Oz/Zoeti's SUPREME showing THEY wouldn't have been Summoned and Invoked at all, and therefore if they decide to save the day then you and your PC will be directly responsible for this and be treated well accordingly by Those in The Know who'll figure this out. Its a different sort of validation that'll come with its own hang ups, but hey, its still valid and yours!
