Endgame Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) The amount of luckiness and sheer unluckiness in this battle with Iris is astounding. I hope 15-16 rounds is good enough for a final clash. Anyone can post a battle order, I'll wrap this up. Edited February 11, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Kintobor Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 At least she didn't get a tree crushed on her. Blasted Oculoids, won't they learn that nothing can stop the power of the Hero's Cocktail Heroicans? Quote
Endgame Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 You haven't even truly left a scratch on their legion. Iris is the only partially non replaceable one. 79 was a piddly squadron, 81 was a glorified secretary. Quote
Emjajoas Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 I was downed by a glorified secretary? Never going to live that one down... Quote
Duvors Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Father Josiah's a Black Knight? What kind of mega-block...! You expect the guy who's only god is Death is going to be a High Cleric? Quote
Kintobor Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Guess who's back?! Well, this can't end well. Quote
Capt.JohnPaul Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Come on 89'rs! You almost won, don't worry about me. Quote
Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) The Regret has significantly beefed up since his last tussle with Heroica. Edited February 13, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Zepher Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) Eh, I always have second round enemies to be way less scary and a little more goofy. They already beat him, when he's like "oh, that was all part of the plan," I'm always inclined to call "BS". But maybe that's just me. The Regret in particular seems silly to me. His other plan took... thousands of years? And now this new one took about a year and seems better in just about every way. Why didn't he just do this first?! That's always my question. And he's so smug about dying and failing the first time. Compensating much? Edited February 13, 2014 by Zepher Quote
Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I'll be revealing how he managed to pull this little parlor trick off shortly. This time, The Regret is playing to win. And it was less of "I intended this", more of a "I have a back-up for this." Edited February 13, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Zepher Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I know, I know, strike me down and I'm more powerful than ever before. I'm just saying my personal taste - not just in this case, but media in general. Quote

Compensating much? This has always been his main gambit. But there was to be a ton of preparation: construction, building a legion, studying and preparing magicks, establishing his surveillance and influence, R&D, etc. etc. He just happened to get caught in the crossfire in 48... His defeat and ability to roid up on the Lifespark allowed him to finally launch his grand plan, after about 1800 years of prep. But yes, you are right about the cliche: I am going to have to try real hard and pull this one off. Edited February 13, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Bricksandparts Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I too see the cliche as somewhat annoying, although it is not entirely bad. I personally like it more when the antagonists plan a capture or to be beat more than just beat and become stronger. To put it in simpler terms, I like characters that plan out their scheme beforehand, and improvise as necessary. Make the other guy think he's got the upper hand. The cliche however is where they are open about their plan, and don't really use strategy. Also, one of the major flaws of the regret and many of your bosses is their no-kill policy. Realistically, they wouldn't give us this many chances. Quote
Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Realistically, they wouldn't give us this many chances. I have something planned revolving around this, and its fairly big. Trust me, The Regret almost always has a reason for what he's doing. When he doesn't, he just wanst to fulfill his ssadism quota. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 You had shattered my old body utterly, fractured my already borken soul. Defeated and to put it bluntly, broken, there was so little of me that I could take the Lifespark's power directly. I'm not sure I totally understand how this worked. I think it would have been better to have the regret already have the lifespark, and somehow trigger it after he dies. That way he is literally both dead and alive, also, the mechanics of the life spark make more sense. Just being really weak to use the lifespark seems to be a bit silly. Quote
Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Allow me to put it this way: The reason that no one can use the Lifespark's powers is that it has a nasty habit of overhwleming some's mind/body/soul. The Regret had no body and a very little soul, allowing him to leech off a tiny amount of the Lifespark. And a few embers goes a long way. Quote
Kintobor Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 It depends on the villain, honestly. The Grim Grinning Ghosts were meant to be somewhat comedic, so they're reappearance in 78 was meant to be rather humorous. The Shadow Sisters I intended to be somewhat mysterious, so you want to know more about them the more you see them (that and Irene's adorable ). And then they're's another character who I'm introducing shortly who is a villain and is fought twice. The first time you get a glimpse of the plan. The second time... Quote

Oh I think I get that he is supposedly trying to use the heroes against the world, but it seems totally unnecessary. I mean he could just as easily kill the heroes and use their bodies as disguise if it had to be the heroes. Also, he could probably just as easily march into Eubric, kill the town watch, and hold the citizens of Eubric hostage. Then just use that advantage to wipe out the heroes at the hall. I'm assuming that since Eubric is a Trading city, many of it's supplies come in from outside the city, rendering the heroes helpless. Once that is done, they'd basically storm across the rest of Olegia and start killing the other bad guys. Quote

Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 (edited) I'm not going to spoil the Big Bad's big bad plan. Edited February 13, 2014 by Endgame Quote
Bricksandparts Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I have some plans for different types of antagonists for the future. Probably some reckless, some that have extensive plans and can improvise, and some that are in between. I'm sure there will be some saboteurs as well. For some reason I have a feeling my idea would work a lot better than his plan . And I just came up with that in about the time I wrote it; a lot shorter than, say, a few thousand years. Quote
Endgame Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 You have to keep in mind that not all the cards are on the table yet - the only thing we truly know is the Lifespark and his motivation, and even then, we don't know either of them fully. Quote
Bricksandparts Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Wait a minute, why would no one have ever used that invincibility spell? Also why would Regret have it? I feel like I'm critiquing a movie now. Quote
