Into The Dark: Mercenaries (Heroes of Fame and Fortune)

Nuva Doer listened as a number of other ploys were described. In particular, the idea suggested by the human Laila was one that seemed to increase their chances of success without overwriting most other plans save the first, since it relied on the poisoning of the bandits' morning meal. It sounded like the Captain wasn't necessarily enthralled with the idea of a night assault anyway... so, it came down to his opinion on whether or not to split the group. After Fafnir's display of interest in payment, Nuva chose to spoke again.

"I maintain my opinion on which strategy would be best to handle these bandits," he stated, "but considering the numbers, any assistance we can get in terms of weakening the bandits would be appreciable. If nothing else, it'd slow them down, and make tracking any who escape an initial fight against the lord and his retinue easier, which of course both make Jex's job far easier.

"As for payment," he continued, staring over at Fafnir, "recall that if this plan and the subsequent ogre hunting goes as intended, we are practically guaranteed a position in the area as a certified guild, rather than merely a group of bounty hunters. One presumes payment would therefore be in-built for this job, Sigurd."

@Eviledd1984 By all means, please do.

@Dark Eternity I see where you're coming from, but feel compelled to point out that by the time he got his Stand, Joseph had pretty much given up training with the Ripple, resulting in it weakening greatly and, for instance, causing him to look far closer to his actual age than he would have otherwise, and said training reduction evidently would have weakened his Stand, since that was actively capable of channeling the Ripple. There was also technically nothing stopping Straizo from still using the Ripple as a vampire either; it'd just kill him if he did, see his actual death scene. And finally, I'm under the impression that there isn't that much correlation between Stand power and the strength of other abilities: Joseph was a Ripple user, yet had a relatively weak Stand, whereas DIO the exceptionally-powerful vampire turned out to be capable of stopping time, and various Stand-wielding Spin users varied in power on both fronts, most notably Johnny's steady increase in strength on both fronts throughout Part 7.

@Keksalot Well, yes, I mean... I was just making a joke, you know, 'cause... funny.

@Keksalot you did not even pronounce Straizo right
I bet you are the sort of man who thinks it was Jonathan's fault for being too nice to Dio too

@Altasaire Well, aside from anything else, it's been shown that both the Ripple and vampirism in JJBA are rife with creative uses, and I can certainly come up with ways to use them beyond those shown, never mind Stands themselves. And in any case, there are plenty of additional ideas beyond what I've described.

Why yes, I am incredibly interested in this. Now, just to clarify, @Dark Eternity: would we be allowed to play as (or start the game as, anyway) characters with multiple sources of power, e.g. both the Ripple and a Stand at once? I imagine that'd mostly be "X, and also a Stand", since at least two are contradictory to one another, though I can imagine a way to combine the Ripple and vampirism into one character (through the medium of a Stand) without making either powerset unusable.

@Guess Who It's cool. Honestly, I feel like I've not been posting as frequently as I should anyway, so... maybe I should.

@Eviledd1984 The Red Claw lacks interaction. You could have your guy come across him if you wanted. Or vice-versa.

One Piece: Revolution(Closed)

@dragonmancer Daaaamn sucka. That sure as hell looks like a plan to me.

Underlake: An Othertale

@Major Ursa I require @Guardian Angel Haruki to post, or at least consent to progress, before you can do your next bit for Rodney, Eeeeeeeeeeee and Skylar. So, uh, there's that.

Into The Dark: Mercenaries (Heroes of Fame and Fortune)

Nuva Doer listened to Captain Kayden's proposal calmly, the mask on his face hiding any facial reactions of his. Realistically, he figured a group of... what, a dozen or so individuals? Against twenty men, that'd be an extremely hard fight at best; thirty would be near-impossible; yet taking on all fifty was suicidal. Then again, substantial skill could well trump a lesser number of men... and a hard fight was what Nuva wanted, after all, right?

"I am Nuva Doer," he began quietly, deciding a certain amount of truthfulness would be reasonable enough to avoid further questions. "I am a skayleigh, and I am a mercenary. I have presumably been called here for my great strength and reasonable skill at arms, as I can't claim to know of any other reasons for my presence in this place." He glanced toward his employer and the two bodyguards in his employ at this, half-daring them through his disguise to say anything else about him... if they even knew any other pertinent information on him.

"As for plans," he continued, punctuating his speech with rough gestures made with his good hand, "I can only assume an attempted assault on a fortified structure would be... very difficult to achieve without casualties. Nor, however, would I strictly suggest splitting our own group into two smaller, more easily-defeated parties. If I might suggest another option, the lord will have fifteen good fighting men with him. Another dozen or so surely would not be remiss, and would help even out the numbers against thirty or so bandits quite handily. A keep storming against twenty men- very likely to still be unaware if we move quickly after our initial battle, considering how slow thirty gold-laden men are likely to travel- ought to be fairly simple compared to the same battle against fifty men."
