It turns out the oric we saw was only a puppet. The real Oric is a combination of mommy and daddy wisp.

actually by saying he can't confirm that, ffs confirmed one of my theories, but your theory is acceptable as a plot twist and will be utilized

I figured they were farmed.

The big wisp can summon them, and they don't have a time limit, so there would just be a giant "wisp farm"

They likely use similar farms for all nameless mooks.

Random theories ramblings I put no thought into beyond jotting down a train of thought:

Oric is using Ciro to destroy the prison, so that it may be destroyed and recreated. It's essentially a 'kill the world and remake it from the start, making a true utopia' kinda thing. But, each level of the dungeon has a very specific 'anchor' that must be severed in order for this to come to be. The siblings of the level.

If they are killed, the floor has lost its 'anchor' thus the prison loses a bit of its foundation. The more and more killed, the weaker the foundation, and at the end it's to destroy the prison. Oric stated grumpily that know he'll have to spend his time glaring and being evil to Ciro now that his identity was discovered. I'm thinking that Oric is a 'end justifies the means' kind of guy.

here is a canon question for the ages

how are wisps made? and don't tell me that crap about daddy wisp and mommy wisp the wisp does not acknowledge these concepts

BRLBRBLBLRLB --wisp
Believe it or not that is actually something I cannot yet reveal.
This is pretty intriguing.

I'm reminded of Ciro's rant about the Warrens being "sterile," and wonder if/how that's relevant for minion acquisition/replacement.

Except Goom-bess pointed out they cost MMP.

There could potentially be something similar regardless, but it can't literally just be another Wisp Boss summoning wisps and drinking water.

I didn't expect everyone to really like any of the mercenaries, but Slog was great, and there will probably be another really likeable one at some point.

Implying Goombess isn't really likeable. I think I know the subject of my next Twoota desktop (y'know, assuming I had any decent pictures of her to work with.)


Also YAAAAY UNEASY TRUCE WITH D:2 BOSS! GO US! Hopefully this doesn't negatively affect our relationship with Riltia and Al too badly.

Also also, now that we've got Proxxy on board, we should ask her for more details about the Underside. Proxxy is demonstrably not a sunny, kind-hearted individual, so if whatever is going on down there is bad enough to make her feel guilty and evasive then it's probably pretty bad.

Also also also, DAMMIT PROXXY WHERE OUR SOUL STAR AT?!?

Also also also also, Reunite with Cool Crab!

Enjoyed every update of Chapter 2, and I look forward to indexing Chapter 3 in the indeterminate future!

Is there even any upper limit to the Big Wisp summoning smaller wisps?
Also what Goom-bess doesn't have in likability, she compensates in competence.

Goom-bess is best mercenary. All the likability there.

Oh yeah, Monk: you better go ahead and reserve another post for CH3 indexing. I already updated the navigation with the Part Name and CH2 snapshots :P

Damn this is getting complicated. I might just whip up some back/forward images/bbcode for your navigation if you want to make it easier to flip through the chapters.

Freeform:

When you stated your projected idea of how the chapter would go, you mentioned that Oric's big reveal as Oric was because of a die roll. So Oric was voicing your annoyance as much as his own then. Though I'm surprised how dynamic this game is if rolls can determine things like that. Excellent work.

Also I noticed that Proxxy seemed to receive an upgrade in her appearance during this "battle". I can't put my finger on why, but she seems to have taken an additional level of cuteness. I love the Warrens art style and I like how the art style seems to subtly evolve without losing that Warrens feel.

It's not something I always do, but you may have noticed that, for example, we didn't see any rolls Yaos made when he was in the Passive Party (at least I don't think so). When a character's trying to accomplish something, they have to roll for it...

Is it something to do with where Illborn come from in general?
If I correctly guess why you can't tell us, will you inform me of such?

Wisps and all Illborn comes from random people entering the Warrens through different methods, getting a soul star, and losing their charge.
The Siblings however,have manipulated the Dungeon so much, that they have the ability to properly choose which template is used for each person when they change to Illborn.

Though that's something of a misnomer, considering its driving forces.
