DoofQuest- a Disney Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest

Reader mode
Honestly, out of all the Disney media that could have the villain win, Soul is probably the one where literally nothing is seriously affected.

After all, the worst that happens is Joe dies from his injuries in the Hospital and no one at the world at large is seriously affected besides a local middle school band teacher tragically passing away in an accident that was entirely his fault. Even the "villain" would just go back to what they were doing, which is to say, counting everyone who has died. Terry doesn't have any grand dreams of taking over things, they literally just want to make sure the count of everyone going to the afterlife is accurate and that people don't try to cheat the system.

I wonder how Soul interacts with Mr. Death and the Twilight Zone being a thing.

I mean, I imagine death deities and other psychopomps still work as they normally do as their job is to harvest the souls from the living. Though given Gargoyles had an episode where a man binds Anubis and everything stopped dying, my headcanon here is that if you take one death entity out of the picture the rest can't really do their jobs. Life and Death, as it turns out, is more bureaucratic than what was initially assumed.

I like to assume that, in this universe, the Jerries didn't give Joe another shot, so he was just found dead in his apartment, presumed dead of a heart attack on the eve of his greatest triumph. Some people might guess he commited suicide, not finding his victory satisfying as he hoped. But, yeah, like INside Out before it, Soul is a very personal sort of journey. It informs the metaphysics, but the actual plot is sorta irrelevant at Gridlocked's scale.

They do say in the movie that its all a representation that joe's (our) brain can understand, so its likely that the first rule of Percy Jackson is in effect and people see what they expect to see when it comes to afterlives/divine powers.
 
Well as long as it isn't Bill breaking out we should be fine. For given value of fine. Still GM screaming is still something to look at with a smile.
 
Guesses on what's got the QMs shocked:
  1. Max managed to roll like a god and chump Nega Duck in the coming interlude.
  2. Natural 100 on our Random Event Roll for the turn.
  3. Natural 100-equivalent on our Inator roll.
  4. The abundance of critfailed Rival Actions managed to bring down a Masquerade. Looking at you, Magic.
  5. A combination of critfails/crit-successes manages to down/off at least one King. There's going to be a lot of Nat 1 and Nat 100 equivalents being thrown around, and we all remember the last time a Nat 1 and Nat 100 compounded on top of each other...

Alternatively, that 'arch' might be a clue. Not sure for what though.

2 can't happen. We already know the coinflip result and it was the one that put it in the 1-20 range. Also Arch is probbaly short for Architect which is Weredrago2's discord name in the DVV server
 
See, this is what I love about the quest, how everything goes straight to hell due to insane player antics.

I would love to know what the regular rolls were/were suppose to be. Just to have a comparison to what was suppose to happen to what horrors Doof brought out with his reckless inator usage.

....So maybe the random event was a nat 1 instead?

Also what post in the thread was the coin flip for the random event revealed on?

EDIT: Speaking of inators, when did/will it get revealed what inator we activated this turn?
