DoofQuest- a Disney Villains Victorious CK2-Style Quest

Reader mode
Hello, Doof.

I'd like to report an absolute slaughter of the highest degree. Just wiped the floor to such a degree that it's not only clean, but disinfected, de-carpeted, paneled over with Mahogany wood, and even waxed.
 
Holy shit Roddy that's that sledgehammeriest dose of reality one could ever deliver. Quite evil.

And not al all wrong.

So, we Hego incapacitated and Roddy not doing much until he comes to, I guess their parts in this 'interlude' are done for now. Now it's time for our team including The Damn Duck to bring the kitties down.

Maybe not.

"You wanna keep playing hero?" Roddy asked. With the press of a button, the manacles snapped open, sending Hego tumbling back to Earth. "Fine. Go on, knock yourself out."

Roddy finished his sandwich and turned back to his welding with a grunt.

"I'm certainly not gonna bother watching."

This makes me think that potentially Roddy let him go back to the crisis fight, but now from the total dressing down he just gave Hego, he'll roll with even worse maluses.

This is an unsubtle nudge from the writers that we are poorly managing one of our heroes just shy of flat out telling us in authorial text that we're fucking up and need to correct our behavior.

Poorly managing him?

In order to manage him correctly, we would need to commit to a set of actions that honestly wouldn't be worth it. Doof is NOT the world police, and trying to act like we are is a very poor idea (or not a very beneficial one).

The best thing we could do, for ourselves at least, is fire him.

We never even considered asking Khan to train him.

I did consider that, on March 14th of this year.

And once he's trained... what would he be doing with his newfound skill?

Heroics. Not particularly valuable for us.

Even if we didn't do things in a way that was good for Hego, he was useful to us occasionally, for a few stewardship actions.

For me the biggest win from this is that we've been given the flashing neon green light that write-in options are allowed for personal actions and we should find ways to utilize that across our entire hero pool.

"THE DAMN DUCK DID MORE THAN YOU!" Roddy bellowed, pointing at Hego accusingly. "He, at least, got a trainer. He looked at himself, realized his deficiencies, and asked Genghis goddamn Khan to teach him to fight! And after that he just kept going! He's picked up every single tip and trick he could to get better, and it's all to find some stupid cartoon! And what were you doing in the meantime? Bench pressing cars in the Doofenshmirtz Megamart parking lot? Going for leisurely, supervillain funded strolls down the cleanest streets in the city, taking cats across the street and helping old ladies down from trees and calling it heroism? Staring at a poster of someone you pretend you could be? Heroism is about putting your life on the line, it's about making the hard choices, it's fighting the good fight against impossible odds. That requires you to be mentally capable of recognizing the odds are impossible! Heroism is what makes supervillainy worth doing, and seeing you playing at it like a snot-nosed five year old is an absolute disgrace to the men you look up to."

God damn Roddy.

Fucking hell that is brutal. Like. Fuck.

We're not talking a white fire burn, you just tossed Hego into a star's damn core!

He's actually a pretty powerful Martial hero, when you get down to it. Our second-best on most actions. It's just that we were terrified of putting him in danger for fear Shego would murder us.

Wait, since when? I'll be honest, I've been following this Quest ever since turn 2 and this is the first I've heard of it.

I'm fairly certain the QMs basically just told us we could have had Genghis train Hego with personals at any time.

The only thing I'm trying to figure out is:

If we did want to have Hego trained by Genghis Khan, for example, or any personal where one hero unit interacts with another, would that use up Hego's personal, Genghis' personal, or would it use up both? Or would it use up whoever's personal we decided to write it in for, with the additional possibility for us to also write it in for both potentially getting us better results?

Anyway, here is an idea for a write in personal that could be fun in my opinion:
Vanessa personal write-in, instead of just watching the eggheads, specifically watching Janus Lee doing his experiments. Maybe from her experience of having Doof as a father she could see through his facade of normalcy and spot the budding supervillain inside.
 
I think at this point, whether Hego stays a hero unit should be up to him. If he can go through everything this interlude throws at him and still say that he wants to improve himself and be a hero, then we owe it to him as our employee and to Perry's memory to give him everything he needs to live up to that, because determination like that will let him go a long way.

Yeah, maybe that means that eventually, Hego decides that he can't in good conscience work for us, maybe even starts foiling our evil schemes. But we're Doof, giving the good guy the tools to defeat us is our modus operandi. And he'll probably still be up for teamups against the really nasty villains.
 
Well sorry Hego, but the dice don't like you. I think it might be time to retire from heroing and go for the harder route. Make Bueno Nacho good.

To be fair to us, we tried. We've been trying for a long time. We did less for Dennis than we ever did for Hego, Hego just... Didn't get good rolls.

And after that, we tend to throw more effort at improving the Units that actually get the job done. In terms of B-tier Units that landed on our lap semi-randomly, you have your Jannas, your Tobes, your Dennises, units that have pulled themselves from obscurity into quest favorites... And then you have Max and Hego and Vanessa. Units that refuse to pay off.

Dennis, on the other hand, made the cut for our hand-picked home-defense team, because he regularly pulls off ridiculous feats when we give him an inch. Heck, he even got a high roll on being present!
