She meets all challenges and peoples with a warm smile, a hearty dance, and some laughter, and she’s attuned to her companions so deeply that she shares in their misery as much as their happiness. She’s even taken to calling the blackwagon itself her ‘little brother.’ Her crime is vagrancy – she was simply seen as too ‘different’ to be accepted in the social graces of the Commonwealth, and when she wouldn’t adhere to their demands that she change herself, she was cast to the Downside, where they would no longer have to suffer her uniqueness. Do we anoint Mae? ![]() Ti’zo is a simple imp that was born and raised in the Downside. He has been with the Nightwings since Volfred’s time, and is therefore more attuned to their practices and properties than anyone else in the triumvirate. Imps of Ti’zo’s intelligence and wit are very rare, and it’s been implied that Ti’zo is directly descended from Ha’ub the Swallow, the first Scribe and author of the Book of Rites, himself. He has committed no crime: as a native born in the Downside, he has no home in the Commonwealth and his only aspiration for freedom is to one day see the world beyond the Downside. Do we anoint Ti’zo? ![]() Pamitha is a harp, born in the mountains that look down on the Commonwealth among the Highwing Remnants. From birth, she and her sister were taught to hate the Commonwealth and all its citizens, and from then, they were raised and bred to be soldiers in their never-ending war – and yet, Pamitha, despite her teachings, was never one for the conflict and wanted only for her herself and her sister to remain out of it. Her crime is conspiracy: Pamitha’s sister was an accomplished general, yet she was planning an attack on the Commonwealth that would surely end in failure. Fearing for her safety, she reported her sister and her plan to the Commonwealth, who promptly captured and banished her. When Pamitha attempted to contact her sister, she was caught and banished alongside her. Do we anoint Pamitha? One of these three candidates must be the frontman for our triumvirate, although any of the rest of the Nightwings may also participate to help see their anointed companion gain their freedom. Should we succeed against Udmildhe and the Withdrawn, our anointed frontman will be permanently removed from the game. Twenty-four hours. Choose wisely.

Pamitha. Tizo is an Imp, so technically, he would be able to fly out of the downside like the Messenger Imps we get when the others went back up, and I think he likes the Downside somewhat. Mae... seems happier down here as well, given that she was exiled for her strangeness. That just leaves Pam. Edit: Her backup should be Bertrude and Tizo.

Anoint Mae! She was banished for talking to the scribes, so her return is nothing less than a divine act. Let her become the prophet of our revolution. Also she seemed happier down here but we more or less sent all her friends back up, and maybe she'll be happier up there when it's not run by shitheads.

Pamitha. with Tizo and Bertrude as helpers. Mae has the whole Almer dealio, and having a Harp upside might help deal with the Remnants (either in diplo, or preventing them seeing the civil unrest as a chance to jump in).

Pamitha should be anointed with Bertrude and Volfred assisting. Pamitha didn't want to fight the Commonwealth and her crime of betraying her own people to seek peace is no crime at all. Tamitha can't seem to be reasoned with and there is nothing left for old Pam down here. Mae still has a chance of making something of her life with Dalbert's son, and Ti'so really wouldn't be adding anything to the table if he went up.

Mae seems reasonably happy down here, and it's Tizo's home. It's time to reward Pamitha's faith and show her we're not using her as she fears.

See, I'm going to disagree. I think that Ti'zo should be out front-guy, with Mae and Volfred to back him up. It's established the Imps can get closer to the surface than most, but they still can't get out. Pamitha, I think, would like to still have the chance to maybe reconcile with her sister. Mae, meanwhile, is clearly happier away from the Commonwealth; although that might change if we send her back up to be with our friends, so I may reconsider later. Ti'zo, though, was born down here and has fought for us all this time without any expectation of a reward. He's the only member of our group who has never known any world other than the Downside. I think we should reward him for his service by giving him a chance to experience a different life.

Aww Pam, we like you too. Go get 'em up there. And well played, Maple Leaf. I forgot you had an extra 50 HP banked with Volfred's ability but you didn't even need to use it because the Pamitha Shove Strategy worked well to open up space.

I... had no idea you can push Volfred like that. How does that work? Also, gotta love the voice acting on Brighton. You can just feel the spite and contempt. Logan Cunningham is amazing at his job.

Tenebrais posted:I... had no idea you can push Volfred like that. How does that work? Pamitha's Dash can push anyone she dashes into. That includes enemies, and since her Presence isn't the greatest, it's often a very risky idea, to dash into enemies. It's a very powerful move for pushing allies with high Presence, though, meaning, funny enough, Pamitha and Jodariel would have been an amazing team together. And, the voice acting is pretty stellar in general. For Pamitha, during her victory speech, it sounds to me, from her voice acting and from her words, like she's about to cry, but then gets a stiff upper lip at the last moment.

That was pretty fantastic gameplay. I tried playing Pyre the other day, and I was very bad at it. One weird thing I noticed just now, from seeing Bertrude and Pamitha side by side, is that Harps and Crones have the same style of aura. Not mechanically, but they, along with Wyrms, have that sort of wavy-edged aura. That's interesting to me.
