At some point, they'd rather just kill you and take whatever your bribe was.

I think we want to hold on to our soulcharge in case the plan to recruit Proxxy pans out

FFS confirmed the theory that the Soul Charge taken away by Tactical combat was too small to matter.

So no penalty at all!

Bah, caught up after a few days off.

I'd thought of the Levitation vs. Wisp stomp thing, but didn't expect we'd run, so never suggested it. I still like it.

As for the Haft: All is not lost! We could use the Fusion Scroll to combine it with another weapon/item, possibly creating an even better weapon than the Ice Spear was. The Polaris Sword could give us an icy/electric greatspear, for instance. Or, if we did break it in half again, rather than nunchucks it could be used as another reagent.

Anybody remember where the last place we needed lighting was? I want to go hunt down the Dark Cathedral.

As for the Wisps, if you want to keep Diplomancing them, the only thing left to try is confusing them: Point out that if we die, we can't get to the Boss Room where she's expecting us, so the wisps are actually working against their boss by attacking us.

If you don't want to Diplomance them, well, beating them up is fine too. They're all grouped up for shotgunning/multistomping, so this may be the best shot we'll get.

Uh, I think diplomacy is out of the question. You know, what with the -Gazillion insanity penalty?

Also, wisps confirmed what we already knew, that Ciro is the Target.

Technically, she ditched Proxxy for Al, so you could read that as Al being the target.
And there's a horrible thought.

Hey, FFS, if we DO manage to reach a -255 penalty, somehow, can or will it become a bonus?
Seriously, not even kidding. I want to know.
Even though it would take 48 turns of diplomacy if we were to try it on THIS action.
It could be useful to know for later.

I think most people's brains max out at infinity, rather than wrapping around like the C++ rules say they should.  :P

On the other hand, I'm sure there are ways to weaponize highly negative numbers.  Hmm... if we fail hard enough, maybe we can give the wisps a massive RAGE BONUS, then dodge their attack and hope it hits Proxxy... through several walls?  :P

Might take some work to arrange for "you fail so hard the world explodes" to not result in our deaths.

-1 to further diplomancing. Tactical Combat is our best bet.
