Yes, but iirc, she didn't really do that well with it. Plus, Mirage generally seems to work best at a distance, which this likely won't be. I just don't see her fitting very well personality wise. TECHNOR, on the other hand, would probably rather enjoy this, and would likely do a pretty good job wrangling Bonkers, who seems like a bit of a wildcard.
She failed the Red Car action even with Personal Attention. Only an outside party reroll made it succeed.
Back in the red car action, she was explicitly called out as being less good with toons.
We do that whenever reasonably able. Its just that we get a deluge of questions about the quest and probably miss half of them unless you ping us at a good time.
First off, I'm pretty sure her bonuses are just straight up better. Second, TECHNOR is needed basically every turn so we can get therapy for everyone. Third, she has experience with murders and murderers.
First off, I believe that was largely just flavor, and secondly, we have the expert on dealing with Toons here. I don't think that'll be too much of a hindrance.
I see your point, but I think we don't want to go too toon heavy. I think Mirage serves to bring some important competence to the team, in a way Dennis doesn't. IIRC, Coyote actually already has a higher Martial than Dennis, so that's not really a good reason to bring Dennis.
Doom's hero units (people he's blackmailed?) are probably mostly non-toons.
He did help out in Vegas.
He did, but the QMs have mentioned before that we'll regret not having finished OWCA earlier, and we're basically guaranteed to get it next turn. Let's not take him away from that, please?
I know that, just saying what he did for us in one of our quest. Oh and we can't forget about Hawaii as well.
We're not sending him. Russ is asking, and he's agreeing after some persuasion. This has been stated in-thread.
Except Negaduck (and Judge Doom, but no one knows he's a Toon, so Russ wouldn't think of him here).
I don't necessarily disagree. The way I see it is that, at least in the abstract, toons trade stat competency for narrative potency. Mirage brings a lot to the table but in this one particular instance maybe we don't actually need the genuine competence she has to offer? Russ has good instincts and he's determined that this quest is going to run on narrative conventions so really going into that hard at the cost of forsaking characters with higher statlines might not be the worst play.
It was mentioned in passing in the Discord, and more in the sense that we'll be kicking ourselves for not having gotten that bonus earlier on.
See my post above for why Mirage is narratively much better than Technor. Essentially, it boils down to Doom being very similar to Syndrome in some ways, and, since his death kinda short-circuited her character arc, this might help that out.
And how would Goffy take the idea? I mean, he didn't react too well to Negaduck. Its probably just me being paranoid, but I just don't think sending Max of all people there will be a good idea.
I agree that there is some narrative potency at play, but I think we should be careful not to rely on it too much. I find Mirage to be a good way to balance toon hijinks with actual competence, and it's important to remember that while narrative is important, well... rolls do matter, and Mirage provides very good bonuses to a bunch of them.
Goofy should be fine? I mean, if Max gets hurt, perhaps not, but we've been sending Max to all sorts of dangerous places, and he's never shown any worry. I don't think Goofy should be your worry.
Goofy and Toffee somehow fused together into GOOFFEE.
Literally the plot of A Goofy Movie is about Goofy accepting that Max is an adult who can make his own decisions. He agreed (or will agree) to Russ's request. If he gets hurt, we'd take a hit. Just sending him, or, rather, in this case, asking, not even ordering, just asking him? Probably not.
Goofy isn't allowed. Let's not go for all-toon, and instead have Mirage around to shore up Diplomacy, as well as buff Intrigue, the most important stat on this whole quest.
