Yes, but it also obfuscates what the stunt is actually trying to accomplish, making it difficult to use in a vote when the flowery language consumes a lot of text to say very little.Brain_Caster said:

wait does that Endbringer intimacy mean we are paranoid of them...or are they us?
We don't know how to focus our Anima Banner's fear effects. Right now, it affects everyone. Your stunt will backfire on us.wingnut2292 said:

For those voting, I would like to remind you of the narrative portion of the vote. It sorta explains what's about to happen:
So those considering Noelle as an an approachable ally... might want to reconsider.
Ah, gotcha. I'll change the wording to fit that.Zechstein said:

hmmm. In that case we should probably change that stunt.

Any ideas on how to refine the second stunt are more than welcome. I'm starting to imagine us diving down Echidna's throat and ripping out captured team mates.

Gromweld's warning, while appreciated, comes a little too late for many voters I feel..IronSun. said:

The wording in that case was hardly obfuscating. It really all comes down to "shot Behemoth a lot, in a highly dramatic fashion".veekie said:
And that's the point of stunts, isn't it? Drama. Something the story has in abundance, but which is utterly and completely lacking in most stunts being discussed in this thread. If I understand the Exalted Primer Gromweld linked to correctly (reading that was really fun, btw, thanks Gromweld), all the stunts currently being voted for would be mere +1 dice stunts at best.
Maybe Gromweld is being more generous than that, but still, we might as well try to produce quality.
She's not on our side, but she's still opposed to Behometh. We can sacrifice several heroes to her hunger if it brings us net up, and at our level of Clarity, we would.uju32 said:

This would get us a seriously bad rap with the rest of the cape community though, and in the long run would be massively counterproductive. I guess it depends on how much Clarity!Taylor is concerned about the fallout after the battle.Alratan said:

I'm somewhat worried about the capes Noelle has nomed. Tattletale or Panacea dying would be really tragic and inconvenient.
No. No I'm not. In any way. At all. I'm suggesting that if she happens to eat heroes during the course of the battle, then they are acceptable collateral damage if it allows us to defeat Behometh, and shouldn't cause us to lose sight of the major enemy.uju32 said:

You're completely right, of course. I likewise have a problem with it.Menma said:
Behemoth will probably take care of that. In the meantime, we should do our best to take care of Behemoth. He's still the larger threat, IMHO.XenonPrime said:

No they used Scrub and Labyrinth to bribe the Travelers with a way home, and then convinced Sundancer to burninate Echidna.Menma said:
No. No I wasn't. I was suggesting that they were acceptable sacrifices. That means that if they die in the course of the battle to Noelle rather than Behometh, that's acceptable if we defeat the Endbringer.uju32 said:
After all, something like a low yield nuclear weapon should be able to destroy her. Almost nothing can destroy an Endbringer. She's a much smaller threat.
What makes you think that Behometh is ever going to 'call it a day' unless we destroy it? Why wouldn't he continue attacking until we're destroyed?uju32 said:

I've only read bits and pieces of Worm, is Noelle actually DIGESTING the people she's swallowed? If so we're going to need to get really messy really fast.
with all the tinkers we have access to it might be possible to develop some way of neutralizing the radiation. And speaking of cleaning up and rebuilding, letting a bunch of Tinkers help rebuild the city is the perfect excuse to drain the underground base and give us somewhere to build our own SECRET BASE as well as a better refugee system.I'm imagining a system of bunkers that drop down massive elevator shafts then get carted of on a mag rail system once full. I see absolutely no reason not to all Tokyo-3 on Brokton Bay.Carrnage said:
Then the military hit her with a thermonuclear bomb and turn her and everything within a few hundred meters to glass after the Movers evacuate the surviving heroes.XenonPrime said:
She's much easier to deal with than Behometh, from what I can tell.

Echidna also strikes me as being an easier opponent for us to fight. I'm assuming we CAN actually just dive in and rip out everyone she's eaten. If not we're going to have to get a little more creative.
