Emerald Overlord: Decisiveness and Gumballs
« on: July 02, 2012, 10:59:23 pm »

Spoiler: Explanation (click to show/hide)


So, without further ado...

You are a fearsome EVIL OVERLORD.



Soon the entire world will yield under your IRON GRIP. Soon your FACELESS MOOKS will bring fire and agony to those who oppose you!



Or at least they WILL, as soon as you deal with this VERY MINOR SETBACK to your plans for WORLD DOMINATION.



Damn it!

Decapitate him, and order his quartered body buried on opposite ends of the continent from each other. The head can be kept on a spike or in a handy jar, whichever is most convenient.

At some point, try to find out who he was, too.

Nah, it is of no matter who he was. We have no time for looking back, only for marching onwards down our chosen path of dominance! Slice first, ask questions later!
Although of course, if he happened to own a heap of valuable stuff that could be handy. You may have a point. :P

Yes, and it might be useful to know who worships the guy we killed. You know, to provide food and shelter and the finest of education for his dependents.

Or, y'know, to just kill them all. I think we've shown the iron fist inside the velvet glove enough by vanquishing the designated hero. But yes, make with the vanquishing and doing whatever is in our power to ensure the hero stays very dead.

Brilliant!

One slight problem though.


You're the guy on the floor.

You didn't use to be the guy on the floor. Normally you were the guy with the sword!

Things just got a little out of hand this time. Really it's unfair, if you ask you.


At some point, try to find out who he was, too.
Yeah, maybe this would be worth a shot. You inquire as to who he is.


He says he already explained that when he first came in here. You admit that you weren't actually paying attention then.


See, you'd sort of hoped he's just get eaten by crocodiles and it wouldn't really matter, but then he escaped your crocodile pit. Then you'd hoped you'd just stab him and it wouldn't really matter, but then he refused to get stabbed.

So, you'd really appreciate it if he'd just repeat everything he said when he came in, fell into your crocodile pit, clambered out of your crocodile pit, charged your... actually, could he give you the short version? You're kind of short on time here.


He responds by telling you to give him one good reason not to strike you down where you stand. You briefly consider something about the fact that you're not standing right now, but quickly reconsider.

>Flattery!
Tell him his story is so very interesting, with such heart-warming bravery, that he just simply has to tell it to us again before he kills us. In that lovely voice of his.
...Please?! It's our last request!
Use puppy-dog eyes only if needed. Then, once he's talking, throw the crown (or whatever that yellow thing is) at him as a distraction, jump up and kick him in the groin, and then make with the sword. BAM!

Say that you will repent your evil ways, and aid the hero for all his days.  If he does not kill you, and tells you his story.

Make up some nonsense story about how everything you've done started as a quest to get enough money to save your dying parents, and escalated as you had to get, empower, and use some sort of magic crystals to steal, er, that is free your love interest's soul from the clutches of eldritch monstrosities. As each moment passes, they grow closer to using her tormented spirit to complete their nefarious plan of nebulous effects. You deeply regret every evil act that Destiny has forced you to perform (Evil theater is terrible), but it was all completely and absolutely necessary.

Heroes love that sort of thing.

Cry like a little girl that the mean hero broke our pretty tiara. Make him feel bad so he goes away. Resume evil-doing when he does.

Tell him you don't even remember who you are anymore, throw yourself at his feet, and thank him for lifting the evil curse that had taken you. Politely, with a sir. Then tell him Nirur's story.

Act confused and ask the air why you even had a crocodile pit, too.

Tell him that you were possessed by a demon lord who lives on the other side of the continent. Tell him a fake story of how you got manipulated into doing evil. Listen to his story if necessary.

Point behind him and say "OH UNHOLY GODS, LOOK AT THAT!", grab broken sword and stab him in the back while he is turned.

A perfect ploy....

Recover while the hero fights them. Plot twists only happen near the. End of the bossfight.
