Plot Thing

[dragmire]

Okay, so here's the dealio. While Ganondorf's voice is still strong, I've come to the conclusion that Luceti's not working for him in the long term. He's no good for any kind of redemption arc and he's sort of set in his ways. But I always say, if you're going to play a Big Bad, they should go out with a Big Bang.

So my projected idea is this: Ganondorf gets punished by the Malnosso and goes through a week or so in some depowered capacity. He comes back ticked off, having realized his opposition and planning didn't pan out. He snaps and decides that the only way to hurt the Malnosso is to rob them of their test subjects- by killing all of them. I'll have a proper plotting post for this once the draft is over, but I want to gauge some interest. I'd like this to be more or less game-wide, but I know that there may be people who don't want to be super involved.

Anyway, a general idea of things to expect:

Ganondorf will enchant animals in the forest and have them attack people. Primarily this is a distraction, but they'll be trying to kill people. So expect things like wolves, bears, bucks, wild boars, and other animals to get bigger, stronger, and much more aggressive. There may be other monster variations too.

He will try to mind control people who are vulnerable to persuasion or are weak minded. They'll likewise go attacking people. Anyone who has already made pacts with beforehand will kind of be running the show for anyone who wants a piece of that.

He'll use a curse (like the one in The Wind Waker) to make it night time and constantly pouring rain. It won't break until he's killed.

Big battle with Ganondorf. Multiple stages with different people to fight him at different points. Probably three/four-way fights? Still working this part out. I'll probably need someone who has a weapon similar to the Master Sword to deal the final blow.

I'm looking at making this happen around the 14th, schedule permitting. So this is a heads up for people. So give me a heads up if you have any ideas, concerns, or what have you!

Ahh, Storm's gonna want to know what's up once it starts raining like crazy. (I wonder if she can put a stop to that?)

That said, I'd like for her to get a chance at the big battle! Not the killing blow, certainly, but given that she's interacted with him on a civil basis before, she'll want to at least try talking to him (and failing that, getting pulled into the fight.) What do you think?

AND THEN I had a really nasty idea about Vanellope getting caught in the action if Ralph does end up getting possessed. but. I'll need to think about that ahahaha

ha... :x

The storm is gonna come from a curse. So Storm (and Saori) have more weather control than he does, so they can sweep it away, but it'll come back if left unattended for too long.

Her trying to talk him out of it could be cool, though. I think there will be opportunities to interact with him outside of the big battles.
