Building Honey's brand as an income generator and infiltration tool was more or less always intended my goal for her, plus potentially building her as a second Conquering Storm with Power/Trickery gains.

It seems that the Trust and Dr.Z are at war. Nothing we need to worry about but good to know.


And the Africa apporximate Kings are all at war with each other...nothing too worrying thankfully.


Bane (whoever he is) is keeping Curien contained and took one of his Heroes. Good for him. Hope he keeps it up.


Wizeman...it's probably not a good thing he's been so lucky but...looking at the map he doesn't really have any targets we'd care about. Expect X and even then that might screw with the Black Arms.

...Also he really loves the sound of his own voice. Even beyond the moral reasons I want to kick his teeth in.


I have no idea what Eden's deal is.

*Wince* I...hope they're alright.

Still they don't strike me as the kind to go down easy so they should be fine.


If anyone has an insight on these please speak up.
 
so, I can't remember if this has been brought up before, but I think we're going to need to steal the Master Emerald to neutralize the Chaos Emeralds. between Max having one, X having one, and Shadow looking for them, I don't think we'll be able to get them all back before somebody figures out what they are and uses one to power a superweapon.

I think I heard somewhere that the Master Emerald can recal the normal ones to it's location but I can't remember if that was canon or not.

That would require us to aggro Knuckle which...seems like a bad idea.

Still...if we actually got solid info that a bunch of bad guys (Or even just Doom) had them then we might be able to finagle Knuckles into calling them for us.

It's a bad idea currently.
Once we're either tough enough to assail Angel Island too fast to be retaliated against, or don't have many major threats to deal with, we can afford to jump the Knucklehead and steal his big green gemstone, and by then we'll probably be able to make good use of it's ability to no-sell the Chaos Emeralds.
 
So hey, Goji is summoning a lot of demons. I'm wondering what will happen when he starts losing control of them. Are we gonna have to deal with gangs of demons roaming the countryside?
 
On the one hand, Eggman's got a whole trait about this in Mind Over Ancient, so he's more adept than he should be at controlling ancient forces. On the other, his record still is not great.

However, even if the Master Emerald can do these things, that doesn't mean that Eggman's capable of it. He mostly just plugs the magic rocks into things as a power source and hasn't actually gotten his hands on it to my knowledge. He'd be very reliant on Yahna (or Piastol, but probably Yahna) here for the actual mystical properties. And we don't know what the DC is.

He's also equally capable of making his own Chaos Emerald superweapon if we really want him to. Building the Ring Reactor should give options along those lines, since it does say that it gives options for superweapons.

Once we have enough immediate responsibilities cleared up, we're probably infiltrating the Empire deeper, which should let us know about their Chaos Emerald in character. Which in turn gives us the option of stealing it.

Super Metal Overlord, Super Neo Metal or just some sort of superweapon?

In IDW, Neo Metal uses the Master Emerald to become Master Overlord, which is presumably stronger than Metal Overlord.

Visually I'm more partial to Super Neo Metal Sonic myself though. Always found Overlord ungainly visually.

WOOHOO!
 
Again can it even do that? And more importantly does Eggman know it can do that?
It can.

But Eggman has never tapped into these capabilities.

Also.people.keep in mind that the no sell the emeralds not only needs that damn chant.

But also to be within the inmediate área of the emeralds and probably needs an altar to boot.

Keep in mind the most prominent time we have seen this is when they deactivated the emeralds at the altar at the Ark.

And even then that time it was when all 7 we're there.

Like no seliing the emeralds outright requires to put the Master Emerald at constant risks to shut down the emeralds
 
... It occurs to me that Angel Island has a lot of refugees on it now and taking the Master Emerald will make it fall, unless the Shattering made it so that it's no longer floating.

We may want to prepare some way to prevent that and/or evacuate the refugees, unless we're willing to risk some serious civilian casualties.

I'm more partial to combining as many different Metal Sonic transformations as we can get as possible.

Giga has been nixed by QM confirmation that the Phantom Ruby wont show up, but Titan only needs a Power Gem which Archie Eggman can mass produce and Kai relies on a giant Dark Ring which once again was made by Eggman (classic games Eggman this time). and since we already have two routes to getting Neo, this means that Super Neo Titan Metal Sonic Kai is a possibility.

I ignored Master Overlord and Metal Overlord because those would take Neo out of the name and thus make it less long require Sonics biodata and thus we don't know how to get them yet.

Okay, but counter argument: What if we just leave the Master Emerald where it is? Because Knuckles might just leave us alone if we don't harass him and his island.

Counter counter argument: Big rock make for very good power source.

Actual counter counter argument: I doubt Knuckles is quite dumb enough to let us grow un-opposed. He's likely to make himself our problem once we really get the ball rolling.

that hasn't worked out before. Knuckles has shown multiple times that he's willing to come down from the island and leave the emerald unguarded to fight Eggman.

besides that Knuckles is strong but he couldn't hold off a dedicated attempt from a king to steal the emerald, and I wouldn't count on them not figuring out about it's powers (or just wanting it because treasure)

Knuckles is also a faction leader in his own right, even if presumably just Prince level. He can go attack Eggman without leaving it unguarded at this point.

Most Kings are from other settings, so unless they find a way to detect Chaos energy and research the lore, they're probably not going to know it's anything more than a big powerful rock.

a few other kings already have Chaos Emeralds to study, this wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility. besides that I'm sure plenty of kings are the type to see a giant gemstone and immediately decide they must have it.

and that's assuming that a sonic character doesn't wind up in their region (or even working directly for them) and just tells them about it.

also, don't the Yakuza characters have the Sonic videogames in their world? there's a good chance they already know.

-[] Adventure: No Bot Left Behind
--[] Eggman
--[] Starline
--[] Honey
--[] Belle
--[] Agent Stone
--[] Badniks: Egg Clan + 1x Newtron

Adventure Stats:
Power: 18(Eggman Power) + 14(Honey) + 9(Shadow Sneak) = +41
Combat: 18(Eggman Power) + 5(Eggman EggGun) + 5 (Egg Mobile) + 10(EGG pilot) + 14(Honey Power) + 9(Shadow Sneak) = +61
Heart: 7(Eggman Heart) + 26(Belle Heart) = +33

Trickery: 22(Eggman Trickery) + 20(Starline Trickery) = +42
Infiltration: 22(Eggman Trickery) + 20(Starline Trickery) + 15(Warp Topaz) + 15(Egg Clan) + 10(Newtron) = +82
Mystic: 8(Eggman Mystic) + 7(Starline or Honey) = +15

Alternative version of the possible plan for Turn 7. With the change of Starline for Stone, he is free to portal us to recover our bots, and the reduction of the DC in infiltrating the Restoration should let us move a Newtron from that action to the Adventure for a +10 to stealth.
Belle should be getting an Adventure Trait with Starline from an Omake bounty just in time, and Honey is there for support and to try to train her a little. Finally Conquering Storm should finish training her ninjas this turn, likely increasing their infiltration bonus.
22(Eggman) + 20(Starline) + 15(Warp Topaz) + 10(Newtron) + 15(Egg Clan) = +82 for our Trickery is a very decent bonus.
Edit: I also changed the Pronghorn sister from talking to Starline to talking to Canaan, since they had rolled high on that in Turn 5 (70) and might be close to get a Trait.
Edit 2: Moved the guitar from Metal to Piastol to increase the power of our response force, since Metal don't need to fight Omega and gave Agent Stone EggGun to Honey to increase her combat rolls to 30, since he is just fixing the garage this turn.
Edit 3: Added the numbers, so people can know what the odds are for each action.
Edit 4: Changed some Personals to prepare for the Adventure, Eggman is making equipment for Starline and Sage is distracting her dad to help him relax anyway, Yahna is also brewing potions to try to get something good for the Adventure, finally Starline is searching the base because he is almost done with that and he might find something helpful.
Edit 5: Since Eggtronics trigger in the garage Eggman get a bonus of over 100 by himself, so we are sending Agent Stone to the mission and letting him keep the EggGun. This give us a full team and a reroll for our Trickery actions thanks to the Stoneline Trait.

So gonna leave this little tibbit here.

Should we go to the tournament and put Metal Sonic as a participant.

We will need to take the candelabra action and the ward it unlocks ASAP.

Cause we will be telling directly in the face to Goji who it was the one that certain blue blur was associated on messinng his operation.
