Digimon Inheritance: A Heroic Lion's Turbulent Times (Finished)

Reader mode
[X] Yes, you will. Go with Sparks in case anything else tries to prevent him from getting to his Mechanorimon. With another champion on your side, maybe you can help the others win.
 
Man, someone really wants our village dead. As sending like 5 champs at a village of around half a dozen with support should be complete over kill.

Still, with how things are stacked it looks like we will be losing this village one way or another. Because anyone who can spare these kinds of forces for our little village seems way out of our league currently.

Though quick question, @drexal15 are we limited to the 3 choices here or can we create a write in plan?

Also, how far away is sparks from his robo and is there any other threats we can see around in the village here?

Lastly how close do we need to be to heal a mon, like could we offer healing aid Flame while he fights?

Hmm... This is another one I really have to think hard about before I vote. Things worth noting:

  • Well, there's Straibmon. Presumably, he's a natural Legendary Warrior just like Flamemon is. He's certainly got the same kind of monstrous power for a rookie, if not moreso.
  • Verge has certainly moved up in the world, to be capable of fighting evenly, and even holding the advantage, against a strong rookie like that.
  • Gramps is really showing his crazy levels of skill for a rookie, holding off three(presumably unimpressive) champions at once. Nonetheless, he's fucked. He's just got no way out of this.
  • That one plant baby is almost certainly going to die since we can't move it without like, putting the soil it's rooted to in a pot or something, which we don't have the time to do.
  • The image of Devilmon swooping down out of the air, grabbing Sorcerymon by the throat and lifting him over the walls to an unknown fate as the two begin to battle is just a really great image.

Write ins are possible.

Verge doesn't know how far away Sparks Mechanorimon is since it's lower than the wall while powered down. But it should be fairly close to the entrance.

Verge is currently tapped out magically speaking. Even if he tried to do another spellmit would fizzle out. He can only manage 1 right now. For the disc, he'd need to have it touch Flamemon directly with a heavy amount of force.

Range wise for magic like that one has to be fairly close though. Like within 5 feet for this minor healing spell. More powerful spells would have a longer range.
 
[X] No, you won't. Lunamon and Thresh are still inside the hut, probably wondering about what's going on. You have to get them out of here now - the escape tunnel can be used to get them away from the fighting.

At the end of the day Flamemon and Sparks are not Verge's responsibility, while his two younger siblings are. I think it plays to Verge's Devotion to go an get them as he knows they are the most vulnerable ones in the village at this point. Whereas Sparks and Flamemon have the ability to defend themselves. (for the most part)

I'm especially worried about Thresh, since his instincts are so strong he might try to fight... which would totally get him killed. :( And Lunamon has no real experience in combat.

A problem with that Rad is that at this point in time if we don't help here there's a high chance that our side will lose. Flame is facing a Rookie atleast his equal or even stronger than himself with his still healing arm, Gramps is holding off Three Champions, and who knows what else.

If for whatever reason Sparks Doesn't get to that Mech than things can get much worse.
 
Man, another thing I just realized. Gnaw's gonna be like a jealous schoolgirl when he hears about Straibmon.

"What!? B-b-but I thought I was his rival! What's he got that I don't, huh!? Hmph! Typical pervert, he sees a couple of big size D talents and his brain dribbles out his ears! I-it's not like I l-liked him or anything anyway..."

I mean...we all called the whole village burning thing from enemy attack so that wasnt a surprise I guess :eyeroll:

These two are both the most vulnerable as they cant fight or have any idea what's happening.

Leaving them be is asking for a hostage situation to happen when they stumble out of cave. Also I wonder where auger is....

And yeah that one plant baby is gonna die or be heavily traumatized, and I have no idea where scaredy mouse is soooo...yeahhh.

I think the only problem I have with this scenario is that it kind of invalidates a lot of the other votes IMO and it's a big reason I have problems with these types of narrative "quest". Becuase it always feels like votes dont matter since it's all heading in the same direction regardless, and theres a sense of fatalism there. Like as a story its great, but as a quest...eh?


Sure theres character building options and such but again what's the point of worrying over votes like borrowing money from auger, or saving money to buy a tiara for a festival that never happens, picking these insane character building options so early without any info to work with,even minor votes can seem pointless if the destination will be the same regardless. Again this is all personal , it's nothing negative towards the author or the quest in general.
 
You know since Fu looks like she is having no effect and can fly, why not ask her to get the young and take them away in the tunnel?

As she would have the speed to gather them all up and see them to the tunnel. While allowing us to help sparks and help rebuff the attack better.

Only question I got is where is auger in all this?


[X] Scream for Fu and tell her to go gather the young and get them to the tunnels. As she is fastest and they need her.
[X] Yes, you will. Go with Sparks in case anything else tries to prevent him from getting to his Mechanorimon. With another champion on your side, maybe you can help the others win.

I think it serves a valuable purpose: to establish a relatively normal life before that normal life falls to pieces. This kind of event was needed in order to kick off a larger plot.

And I still think some of those votes will matter, though some might be invalidated.

And I don't think the destination was completely predetermined from the start. For example, if Verge's stats had been built differently he might have lost that fight in this update, the healing disk he bought might come in handy in a crucial way in the battle, etc. And then there's the outcome of the battle itself, which will likely vary depending on what we vote for here.

*nods*

That makes the most sense tactically.

...but do you really think that Verge is thinking tactically right now? His big motivators are Devotion and Wrath, he's not gonna be cool headed here imo. He's gonna jump to worse case scenario and think of the helpless digimon dependent on him, especially after the whole graveyard scene where Gramps showed him how much losing little ones hurts.

I agree that helping Sparks is the optimal choice to win this fight, I just don't think Verge is gonna see it in those terms.

Plus, he did dig the escape tunnel for precisely this reason...

First off it's not tactics it's simple reasoning and following up Yes I think he would do it because the options given to use were ALL things Verge would do.

Two Devotion and Wrath aren't Motivators there Traits. Those can also be applied to feeling Wrath towards those hurting his Village and his Devotion to the Village and his friends to stay and fight.

And Three if Verge was the type to be unable of thinking things under pressure than the whole 1s and 0s bit from before shouldn't have worked.

Beleive it or not, but I actually agree a lot with what you're saying I DESPISE it when quests make it so votes don't matter and just go on ahead despite what the players clearly wanted.

I despise it so much that I'll do my best to never ever do such a thing. I've always done my best to make sure the votes given actually matter and will affect things.

Yes I do have a narrative plan for this quest, but you (as in the players) control how things happen and go down. Take Mass Effect as an example. (Edit: I mean like 1&2, not 3)

Edit: I do suggest waiting to see how things turn out before assuming that the votes have been pointless.

You sure you want to use Mass Effect as a example mate? :p

By Mass Effect I was referring towards the first game.

Really should have been more specific considering how bad 3 was.:p

  • [X] Agree with the sentiment. Now that you think about it, that could be a life very well suited for you one day, well presumably there wouldn't be fighting involved anyway. It might even help support Flamemon & your *Siblings* somehow.
    [X] Disagree. While it could make for an interesting life... You don't believe it's a path you could possibly take. Between Lunamon, Thresh & Flamemon you'll have other obligations. You'll have to get stronger for them and what he's suggesting would only hinder that.
    [X] Yes, you will. Go with Sparks in case anything else tries to prevent him from getting to his Mechanorimon. With another champion on your side, maybe you can help the others win.

Flamemon is fighting against a superior enemy, he could get injured/possibly die if we don't help him.

We need to protect our younger siblings, something dangerous could happen to them.

We need to get Sparks to the machine as soon as possible as to help out everyone.

Damn, this is a hard choice!

...I think I have a strategy we could use during this. Digimon of appropriate size should be able to fit in the tunnels we make, so our allies could hide in them to get away from battle or to be healed. This also allows for us to not get distracted in fights.

I'm not gonna lie, I'm voting for this mostly because I was reminded of @RomanceNinja's top tier shitpost. That and if anything happened to our precious cinnamon bun, I would kill everyone in this thread and then myself.
