Anyway, yeah, not going to argue that they didn't have reason to really love him. I even understand why they happened to follow Udil. problem is, though I don't see him as a Marty Stu (as rediculous as he is, I'm pretty sure no-one would actually want to be him).
Also, Az, I have a question. Wouldn't Ao be pretty pissed at the person who, oh, locked him in a box? Who is currently in a coma? Completely incapable of defending himself to any decent degree?
Good that you asked, that will be made very clear at the end of this. I do feel like a bit of a jerk for the two ascendants though. But at the end of the day, the universe is in no shape for ascendants to survive; I will tentatively fix it up if someone spends that Mighty Act to restore me.
What? Did Az just completely edit his action with no warning for those at the Spire? I know he was going for the moon before.
It was pointed out that I couldn't attack the moon.
Ascendants are no more fragile than any other mortal and yet plenty of them are still living. My guy just hasn't rolled well so far. Anyway I'm hoping I won't die but my confidence in my character's ability to survive is rapidly diminishing.
Look on the bright side, gman. You're alive, and have a good target for some mortal-on-god vengeance. Someone's gonna take the job now that Udil's gone all godly.
Ardas/Udil was lucky with his ascension in that he at least had a clear enemy and a clear goal without having to worry about crazy overpowered gods that could kill anyone like Azthor can. I don't even know what my guy's goals are besides "uniting the seaspawn" and "become a god" and even those goals aren't looking too great because:
a) Almost everything on the planet is dying out (hell the planet is dying)
b) Udil gained godly allies rather quickly which gave him the long term possibility of ascending along with short term benefits like nice weapons and armor - I don't have any allies now much less godly ones. That doesn't mean I haven't tried, in fact I did have some godly allies throughout the game but people kept killing them.
Besides, revenge was Udil's thing not mine. I mean, I did sort of set myself of for a revenge scenario earlier just in case I have to kill a god to ascend but I'd much rather do things a different way. Anyway he is the Avatar of Wrath / God of Wrath. If I acted the same way he did what would that make me besides another less interesting Udil. I want my own characterization, I want to be a god of evolution. Chances are not looking great now though.
Lastly, what do you even mean about having a good target for god vengeance? I don't really have any enemies besides maybe Azthor for killing my ally but what chance would I have of killing a player with 21 acts? Even with ascending, I doubt I would ever catch up. Besides from an IC perspective, his character went crazy from being in jail, so my guy would probably forgive him if he apologized after regaining his sanity and maybe helped me bring my ally back to life or something.
So is GWG dead or not? I feel sort of bad about all the dragons and drakes going extinct.
