Digimon: Devil's Ascent (Discussion Thread)

[Kamotz]

Yeah...not really seein' much of a plan here. Other than, you know, sittin' around. Which Gigas is pretty good at.

Right now the only real "plan" is the re-sealing plan. There's still the concept of saving Hadrael and Thor (and maybe Svarog), but there's no real way of doing that since we can't exactly storm the castle...seeing as there is no castle to storm.

So how many angels are going to die for this plan I wonder?

And it sucks when you don't know where to attack, but you can't afford to not attack...

Ah, but back to business. I've had a lot of work this past week, and I'm actually going to be getting more these next two weeks before it dies down again. I'll have a post up soon, just not sure exactly when.

[Griff4815]

Hopefully it's just 66 and not 66 per seal. Then again, even 66 is too much. Hmm, if there's no castle to storm, it seems it would be hard to hold Hadrael, wouldn't it?

I don't really have anything to post right now, since it'd just be arguing. Would it be right to say that the decision rests in Michael's hands?

[Kamotz]

Hmm...perhaps it's better to say there's no known castle. Or no known little hole in the ground.

[Griff4815]

Out of curiousity, about how many seals are we at now?

[Kamotz]

Big fight about to throw down. Organizer time.

War v. Khep
Conquest v. Vritra
Gaul v. Samael + Bedivere

I wonder who else is waiting in the wings to make their appearance...

[Griff4815]

Heh, I always wanted a Khep versus Svarog fight. Okay, he's not exactly Svarog, but still...

Hmm... in the wrecked bar we also have Sha, Nocchi, four weaponless Greymon (Tyr, Dhazbog, Ulik and Sigurd), Scar, Hira (presumably), and Gunnar (who can summon his sword anytime, so he's fine).

And it looks like Barachiel's group will be following Azur's lead. I wonder where that'll take them. Anyways, I'll have a post up tomorrow.

[Tundra_Wolfmane]

I'll guess I'll be sending Scar off to support Kheprius. Will make a post sooner or later. So that means...


Svarog/War VS
- Khep
- Scar

Conquest VS
- Vritra

Gaul VS
- Samael
- Bedivere

Not yet picked but in bar:
- Sha
- Nocchi
- Hira (?)
- Tyr/Tiwaz
- Dhaz
- Ulik
- Sigurd
- Gunnar

In/Near Anatolia but not in the bar:
- Aeria
- Shoon
- Pyra
- Gigas
- Ivy
- Tia
- Kole
- Duo
- Lucia
- Justin
- Michael (down and out?)

Outside Anatolia:
- Barachiel
- Caradoc
- Guinier
- Azur

And as for Cresil? Who knows. I'm personally worried whether Tepes and ole' Mephisto will appear...or Odin knows what.

[TheSequelReturns]

Just in case its needed for planning's sake, I'll go ahead and tell you that Duo and Justin are currently searching the city for a certain shop, and Lucia is off on her own for some alone time with her ever darkening thoughts.

I'll have the post up soon, hopefully tomorrow.

[Food Guy]

Just so people know, Hira was in the bar, and Kole and Tia will probably make their way to the fight

[Hotshot]

I'm gonna send Sha to help out against War, and Nocchi's going to head for Conquest (he's had a bone to pick with the 'bleached dramon' Thor for a while now).

A little later I'll have Gigas come in and help out on Conquest with Nocchi, and Ivy'll go for Gaul.

[Tundra_Wolfmane]

Hm...this poses a question. Are the characters supposed to find out about the fight? Well, in general, it'd be hard to ignore that much destruction, but still, just a question.

As for updated "What Everyone's Doing" Sheet (minus the Outside Anatolia group):

Svarog/War VS
- Khep
- Scar
- Sha

Conquest VS
- Vritra
- Nocchi

Gaul VS
- Samael
- Bedivere

Not yet picked but in bar:
- Hira
- Tyr/Tiwaz
- Dhaz
- Ulik
- Sigurd
- Gunnar

In/Near Anatolia but not in the bar:
- Aeria (asleep)
- Shoon (confined to nomad settlement; later en route to battle)
- Pyra
- Gigas (planned against Conquest)
- Ivy (planned against Gaul)
- Tia (en route to battle)
- Kole (en route to battle)
- Duo (searching for shop)
- Justin (searching for shop)
- Lucia (on her own; unknown whereabouts)
- Michael (down and out?)

[Griff4815]

Gunnar will probably go against Gaul. Tyr's going to the castle to get his Dramon Breaker, Dhaz is going to the barracks to get his sword, Sigurd and Ulik will be searching the rubble for their Dramon Destroyers/improvising (so they might be alternating between Gaul and War). Pyra's going to stay at the castle for the time being. Lastly, we all know Barachiel's out searching for Hadrael.

[Kamotz]

Keep in mind that it's very unlikely that Mephistopheles only sent 3 of his goons after us. There's still the rest of his deal-soldiers and possibly even the Cambion to contend with.

EDIT: Yes, Michael is pretty much down and out. As strong as he is, he's still an Ultimate level. And he just got zapped by a Mega III...a Mega III enhanced by the power of the "Horsemen King". He might stagger back up later, but for now he's out. Which makes things just a little easier for me.

Hmm. I'm gonna put down where these other guys are so we don't have mass hysteria as the Peacemakers trip over themselves getting to the revealed three. Then I can let you guys decide who and how to go fight.

Damien Ghostrider (SkullMeramon): Roaming the streets looking for a fight. Can now Digivolve to Boltmon should the need arise.
Marcus Starthorne (DaruSuperStarmon): Roaming with Damien. Can now Digivolve to Darkdramon should the need arise.
Lucian Beastmane (ShadowWereGarurumon): Headed towards the main battle at the bar. Can now Digivolve to BlackMetalGarurumon should the need arise.
Sigma 018 (Andromon): Somewhere in the city. Can now Digivolve to HiAndromon should the need arise.
Vlad Tepes Dracula (Myotismon): Slaughtering dudes left and right in the city center. Can Digivolve to a smaller version of VenomMyotismon (slightly taller than most humanoid Digis). But as he becomes angrier and looses himself to bloodlust he grows. Maximum size is equal to the one we saw in Adventure 01, aka: Pick-Gigas-up-with-one-hand huge.

Mephistopheles: Somewhere. Waiting. Watching. In the darkness. Between the breaths of liars' words. Under the whisper of traitors' schemes. On the edge of angels' treason.

[Griff4815]

Hmm, that means that it's just the Mephistopheles, the Cambion, Nebiros and Sabnock who are left, hypothetically guarding Hadrael. Though it's entirely possible that they could be off doing other stuff, too.

[Kamotz]

Oh. crap I forgot to put Mephistopheles on that list. Okay, going back to edit.

And you must wonder if Hadrael is anywhere at all. Would Mephistopheles leave him out in the open like that? Where would Mephistopheles hang his hat in the first place? In some deep dank underground cavern? In some dark and foreboding castle? Do either of those really sound like his style? Or isn't it more likely that Mephistopheles resides nowhere entirely? Hidden in the darkness of your nightmares, in the doubts you keep, where reason slips to fear, and light becomes insanity.

[Griff4815]

Well that was chilling... Makes me wonder if the rescue-party will come across anything. If not, with Barachiel's determination, it might be awhile before they go back to Anatolia...

[storymasterb]

Why is it that these villains can never stick to tradition and have a nice lair just waiting for the heroes to storm it? Heh... at least it's fun trying to track the place down.

Incidentally, are we allowed to control War and Conquest? I thought you said they were your characters from now on...

[Griff4815]

Oh, right. I forgot about that. My fault.

[Kamotz]

Why is it that these villains can never stick to tradition and have a nice lair just waiting for the heroes to storm it?

Right. Because that's something I would do.

Incidentally, are we allowed to control War and Conquest? I thought you said they were your characters from now on...

Yeah. War and Conquest are now mine. I don't mind a bit of sparse bunnying (WHERE DOES THAT TERM COME FROM!!!?) when it comes to some of their actions, but do so sparingly (like what Griff did in the last post, that was okay) and leave the talking to me.
