One player wants something, so you'll sideline else? Um... doesn't that seem unfair to you?That's not what I was talking about, anyway. I was talking about the fight. By making the opponents far too much for the characters to handle, it makes supposed starting skills worthless (because there's no opportunity to utilise them and demonstrate anything) and all in all gives a terrible impression of the to each other.

Perhaps but I also suspect that the group will split up from time to time. Hard to keep all 7 people of so in line. I'd do the same for any player for their side quest ideas as well.

They demonstrated they can survive pretty well and think on their feet. Kaede showing she is very durable to poison and be hit multiple times by shuriken. Asuka showing she's ferocious in battle but also smart about it by bringing sword on fire to kill puppets, Hanami showing her arrows really have purification properties, Kouko showing her agility and attacking the source of the problem and distracting him enough away from his control and so on.

The initial opponents were the bear and the mysterious man. Which were defeated once the spirit was purified. Only reason there were still so many puppets is because no one broke the orb.

And they already had somewhat of a terrible impression of each other when they met. Well most of them.
