To tell you the truth, I'm waiting for Vaiolis to just stick the 'heroic' scene into our 'movie'. You know. The scene where it looks like were all going to make it out alive, but theres some ultimate danger, and it requires the last stand of either one, or a few of us for everyone else to live?

That heroic scene.

[Vlynndar]

Oh, it will be coming. But first there must be some prison-escaping and artifact retrieving.

I need to make a Problem Sleuth style shit-just-got-real groupshot.

You forgot the part where one or more of us make it out of that stand barely alive. It happens you know... Especially if they were barely protected by a power of one of them (Astor casting a simple shield spell, for example). No, likely this 'Heroic scene' will be with the old man.

[Duke 2.0]

 Oh no, Astor is keeping strictly energy. Unless you like having your hair stick out and shoot sparks like a Van De Graff Generator.

 Actually, shooting shocks to ward off missiles would be grand. I use the term missile as in flying projectiles, not actual missiles.

[WorkerDrone]

Boom?

[inaluct]

I'd like to amend my action. I will do mostly the same thing, but I will also try and observe any wildlife I can find.

[WorkerDrone]

Why observe the wildlife? What, gonna go aquaman on us? Cause thats Abronychus' job.

[inaluct]

My character is Abronychus.

[WorkerDrone]

Ah. Touche.

That heroic scene.

That is, of course, Strife's job, you know. Secretly, he's the definition of a martyr without a cuase.

[inaluct]

By saying that, you have almost automatically doomed someone else to martyrdom.

You have a point. As I see it, it's Strife's job to find some equal adversary and then duel him. guns would blaze and knives would be thrown. You'd eventually be severely injured, while your adversary was completely unharmed, and then you'd use the last of your strength to pull out a random thing from your pocket that kills him.

Either that or you'd yell, "Go on ahead. I'll slow them down!"

Yes, you're the 'Last Stand' type of character.

[Strife26]

Ahhh, but if I was expecting Murphy's Law to kick in and protect Strife from Martyrdom, wouldn't it be forced to reverse and allow Strife to sacrifice himself in some important (and preferably explosive filled) way?

Strife is quite adept at manipulating paradoxes, wot wot.


EDIT: Ninjaed! I'll add that Strife would NEVER throw a knife at someone. Unless it was a throwing knife, then there is a slight chance.

[inaluct]

Either that or you'd yell, "Go on ahead. I'll slow them down!"

And then someone would turn around and go back.

[Strife26]

No, then there is supposed to be a massive explosion and the way back is blocked. Everyone continues and encounters the final boss. They are defeated, when Strife shows up again and blasts the boss with a railgun, driving it back and giving the party time to escape. Yes, this was taken from Wild Arms 2.
