And Kal is attacking on the one day of the year that he is at his strongest.

not to mention no one expects things to gosouth so Xanatos probably didn't bring his full army to bear.
I mean, leaving aside that he's obviously not attacking the auction directly, and that if he was it would probably be to our benefit, it doesn't change the fact that we're more secure than Buddy and he was facing off against an entire team of combat capes.
 
If Kal attacks...
"Ah, Kalabar the...Not sure what you are, Warlock? Eh, whatever. How unexpected, and by unexpected, I mean COMPLETELY EXPECTED!" Commence Force Choke
 
I'm honestly really looking forward to this next bit.

I've been advocating reaching out to Shego and Xanatos since I started participating in this quest.

This feels like actual progress is about to happen.

Hopefully it goes well but I'm genuinely excited.
 
Wait... arent the huntsclan a Thing here.... There is a good chance they are goingo to attack us..... -_-. I thinked this was going to be a normal travel for Max... Oh well i will get the popcorn.
 
Well the witches will not be so bad after this day. The black flame candle stays lit only for about night. After that they can die normally but for this night they can't die. Burn them in fire they'll just pop out alive.
 
X] Plan: Doofenshmirtz Diplomacy
-[X] Allude to Toffee being a problem
-[X] Tell Xanatos Celena's prophecy verbatim
-[X] Ask Xanatos what he thinks about Shego
-[X] Utahraptor
I don't want Xanatos to poach Star. she's some extra magical might that I want us to have, not him. that is my only concern. I guess I'll just pray he doesn't get to her first.

Vote's long over, and we aren't actually telling him about Star either way.
 
Okay, I was one of the ones advocating against telling Xanatos everything, but if Doof calls on a flashback to explain the whole thing I'll laugh. Then again, it's Janna's traumatic backstory, so she has flashback first-refusal rights.
 
Doofenshmirtz Evil Coffee
"Doofenshmirtz Evil Coffee"

Proposed commercial script, with italics denoting something that would be left out in later cuts and underlines denoting 'future products' getting introduced.

Vanessa voiceover, starting with footage of Doof drinking coffee: "Evil tastes great."

<Shot of Dennis doing a lap around a track with some accountants, gradually pulling ahead> "Whether it's getting ahead..."

<Shot of Khan training, staring down a number of sparring partners before taking them all down.> "Being on top of your game..."

<Shot of Jumba working on a project, getting a glance at a clock and a starlit sky> "Continuing to work long after everyone else is not able to carry on..."

<Glamour shot of Mirage.> "Being evil always looks good and feels great."


<Demo shot of the mini-me coffeemaker> "The best way to get that kick start onto the path of evil is with a powerful cup of coffee in the morning."
<Shot of a barista being a surly at Goofy.> "If the coffee-shop experience just isn't good any more, perhaps it's time to turn to the power of Evil."

<jingle over a shot of the coffee-maker, dressed in a tiny version of a barista apron but with an expression of triumph> "Doofenshmirtz Eeevillll Cofffeeeeee!</jingle>

-----
<Shot of Vanessa sleeping in a darkened room, focus on the clock showing 10pm before eventually rolling around to 7am> "If you want to sleep like a log while still getting that same great evil taste, there's also..."

<jingle over a shot of coffee container that says "Decaf"> "Doofenshmirtz Eeevilll Decaffeinaaaateddddd!"</jingle>

---
<Shot of the Utah desert> "If it's too hot for a hot drink?"


<jingle over the coffee-maker wearing a beanie and a scarf> "Doofenshmirtz Eeevilll Frrroozzenn Bleeenndddeeeeddd!"


A/N: Man, this thing fought me. Could be rust, or any number of other things. But I figure there's room for other people to explore the space.

"You see, it all started a few years ago..."
[Brief Pause While Doof Stares Blankly]
"What are you doing?"
"Huh, usually, the flashback starts there. Janna, start us off, will ya?"
"It all started a few years ago..."
[Flashback noises]
 
We should recruit Gomez STAT, He'll be an extremely hot commodity when the masquerade falls
Actually, who's next on our recruitment queue? Excepting the people we recruit from Coyote's interludes and any rolodex contact from that batch that we don't pick at first but call back immediately, of course?

Juniper for that sweet Dance Magic?

We did just take our first tentative steps into magitech, but I think we have more pressing Diplomacy actions. Campaigning for Flubber, opening up relations with more people (I'm thinking Shere Khan next)...
 
yes and we should have brought more
We're also on Xanatos' home turf; where he's had almost two years to build up anti-magic defenses and get magical assets on his side. If Kalabar and Co. decide to crash the auction, they're likely to get a very warm welcome. Plasma ain't exactly a cool breeze ya know.
And Kal is attacking on the one day of the year that he is at his strongest.
Correction. He's attacking on the one day of the year that he can get more than a handful of his conscripts out of Halloweentown. And frankly even with Kalabar's corruptive influence, Halloweentown's residents have kind of degenerated pretty heavily from murderous monsters in the night.

Also, MiH hasn't officially called the vote yet.

[X] Plan: Xanatos vs. The Forces of Evil


Edit: Honestly @Cjdavis103 you're overlooking the fact that; as Feldrake foreshadowed, there are probably several cursed artifacts here. Like the Black Flame Candle. Pretty sure we're going to have to deal with the Sanderson sisters.

Uh...Yes he has:

Looks like the votes are pretty safe to call now, so I'm going to do so.
Adhoc vote count started by b-wolf95 on Sep 15, 2020 at 8:47 PM, finished with 295 posts and 72 votes.
The emphasis is mine, but there's not many other ways to interpret that.
 
If we had reached out to Shego last turn I'd have gone for bringing up the alliance directly but since we don't know what either of them think about it right now just general impressions is the right move i think.
