with all the angels around, I assumed the whole lucifer fell off grace and thus became the great tempter to evil thing might be canon here, oh well


anyway, Asariel is a *fallen* angel. Dumah left the stage, but unless the rules suddenly are meaningless, Asariel can not retreat to heaven

@Rag: except Asariel *did kill Ashley*. She's not simply *not with us*, she is very clearly against us.

When someone keeps begging their superior to please please let her kill those juicy mortals, I dare say she was hardly neutral, or diplomatic, or anything. Killing us didn't even serve a purpose, as it was Caes they were after. it was sheer murder to kill some boredom

note how Dumah understood that. Dumah only aimed at the house, to give off a warning shot. Dumah could have just shot at us instead, but chose to just intimidate us instead. not very nice, but diplomatic

I'm not sure if the existence of Lucifer is canon or not.

Reinstatement into the Choir (which presumably means she gets to return to Heaven) was one of the terms of her agreement to help.

Quite so. The angel was a clear enemy. Her host? Less so.

More diplomatic than just killing us all, I guess.

Lucifer is canon, and he did lead the Rebellion, though he's only a very important prisoner in hell rather than its king, as long as you're ok with it, Gold.

intimidation is part of diplomacy, standard even.




anyway, for several rounds of combat, including the one where ashley was killed, the host was in controle, as much was stated. the host admitted that she was fully enjoying what she was doing.


she was not some helpless puppet that was simply possessed and used against her will, she never once hesitated or believed what she was doing was wrong - and is not even doubting it now. she freely admits that it was all great fun, without a care in the world, or even a hint of a faked apology

No problem.

A bit of an outdated model of thinking, there. Intimidation gets people to work with you as long as you are in a position of power and no longer. It gets them to do what you threaten to harm them if left undone and nothing more.

I'm a bit fuzzy on the line between angel and host, to be frank. One of the great many confusions of that plot.
And frankly, I wouldn't be against evicting the host just to clear away all traces of the plot.

Major demon lord in hell. I already talked with Gold on it.

And Elf for control of him.

Actually, Seles isn't too much of a threat. The people that might hire her are, but she's as likely to work with heroes as villains.

Oh, right.

Anyways, judging by the strawpoll, a majority of people (barely) want to retcon at least some part of the previous plot. Would the two people who voted for a middling option please share what they had in mind?

yeah...because our group will totaly not fight many sorts of various evil entities and organisations in the long list of upcoming plots that would utterly rejoice when they learn that there is a traitor-for-hire right among us. Trying to out-pay any enemies that might try to hire her is like holding a granade with a pulled pin. the moment your grip on her even slips for a second, you are fucked




also, why would we retcon any of what happened? it did lead to character development, it's leading into a somewhat fresh start (castle that is outfitted to cater to all our needs and whims, from swimming pool, to large server room, to one of these x-com style global holograms in a situation room, and even heavy magical/technological artillery to defend our place > suburban house with not nearly enough bathrooms for all of us to get ready in the morning in time)


all that needs to be changed is a proper ruleset for when the next battle rolls along. until my turn to GM comes up, I'll leave that in the hands of the current GM

... How close was it?

Also I agree with akroma on the retcon, so if one vote would have made a difference, consider mine to be to keep it.

Also, professionalism is a thing. Bailing on a mission midway through because you're offered more is bad for business.

it's a bit back, you'll find it more quickly if you search through my posts more directly, possibly using the search term *combination* or *combo*, possibly with *crit* or *critical*
