Day Final: The Monsters are Massacred

[Okaros]

Gungnir backed slowly away as Admetus, Fairy Catmother, and Ryvvn stalked towards him. His disguise was perfect, what could have given him away! Was it the slimy green skin? No, no, humans had that. Was it the croaking? No, no, humans did that. Agh, what could it be?

Admetus was furious. This... this MONSTER had taken Marco from her.

RAINBOW FLYTRAP!

With a yell, Admetus summoned a sticky rainbow wall behind Gungnir, trappinghim in place as he backed into it. She strode towards him menacingly, her wand glowing brighter and brighter.

"Give. Me. Back. My. Marco." she hissed through clenched teeth.

As Gungnir tried to stammer out a replay, Admetus grew fed up and drew out her scissors and snipped open a dimensional portal.

"You'll go out there and bring back my Marco, or I swear I'll... I'll... ARRRRGH!!!"

With a last, wordless scream Admetus discharged her wand and blasted Gungnir into it with the force of a 18-wheel truck. His now-unconscious body flopped limply on the ground at the edge of the portal and slowly slipped inside.



Ryvvn and Fairy Catmother looked at each other and quietly began the long walk home, leaving Admetus to her grief. They were just regular kids and couldn't do anything to help the obviously grief-stricken Admetus as she vented her rage on the trees and rocks in the park.

The GM says this:

Humans win!

[Okaros]

Day thread should be open to all players now.

[Ryvvn]

Great game, all; thanks, Okaros!

[The Fairy Catmother]

Yay! Thanks for the game!

Funny how Ryvvn's little mistake actually helped us win.

[dferrantino]

I'm really curious as to what tipped you off. I feel like everything was going my way and then suddenly we lost.

[dferrantino]

Oh, right. Good game! Shit!

[Jrsthethird]

This was fun! A little salty about the vig shot, and I thought we were doomed. And then it all turned around!

Great game! Thanks, Okaros!

[Admetus]

Good game, huge relief!

I was posting about that in the dead thread dferrantino. It was hugely stressful!

[rekard]

That was unexpected. Congratulations!

[Visigoth]

Thanks for the game Okaros and good job on getting rid of the real monsters, like DastardlyOldMan, and saving the world.

[San]

Thank you for the game, Okaros.

[Gungnir888]

Thanks for the game!

I right messed up on the last day, I sincerely apologize to dfer for ruining all his hard work.

[Okaros]

Anybody have feedback on balance/powers? Too human? Too wolf? Just right? If I ran this setup again, any suggestions for things to change?

[Admetus]

I liked the concept of an alpha human. I took it slow on the seer ability to guarantee accuracy, but I liked the option to go faster with it at a risk. I think both sides played their abilities reasonably.

I learned after the first time that I'd done it wrong and didn't have to publicly seer, but it worked out pretty well for us. It helped catch Rictus a little earlier, I think. Also, if I'd held back that information, and used my jailing on the target from the night before, then I would have been finding Ludo more slowly, so there are downsides to that as well.

I think the balance of powers was fine.

[dferrantino]

Agreed on the balance, though I think it may have made the wolf team feel a little more like "Ludo and his minions" rather than an actual team. Not sure how much of that is the powered Alpha and how much of that was just me and my personal playstyle, though.

[dferrantino]

Thanks for the game!

Uh, it wasn't your fault. There were a number of decisions earlier in the game that put us into the position we ended up in. As it was, we lucked into the position before it went sideways.
