Dan: Dude. 
Dan: You and me. 
Dan: Right now. 
Dan: The "kitchen sink" scenario. 
Dan: A renegade Abyssal, formed Raksha, and Mountain Folk sidekick are easy enough to put together. 
Dan: o_o() 
Dan: *realizes that "serving an Exalt" could easily include working for an Abyssal or Infernal* 
Spoony: Abyssal-Solar-Lunar Love Triangle. 
Spoony: From the First Age. 
Dan: @_@ 
Spoony: :-) 
Dan: What's the Big Threat? 
Dan: Hm. 
Dan: Maybe it nuked Nexus. 
Spoony: Eye of Autochthon? 
Dan: Thus depriving the domesticated Raksha of his home, along with ... Joe Dragon King, his unwitting next-door neighbor. 
Dan: Who formed a bizarre companionship escaping. 
Dan: Who's wielding the Eye? 
Spoony: a disgruntled Little God? 
Dan: ~_~ 
Spoony: who decided he wants to be a Big God 
Dan: I love it. 
Dan: Umm.... 
Dan: Toss in an escaped demon of the first circle that's really one of the Exalted's love child (revelation for mid- to end-game)... 
Spoony: adding to the crisis of the Celestial Love Triangle when two of the three realize "they" were cheated on? :-) 
Dan: *grins broadly* 
Dan: ...and let's not get into the details of the Little God's God-blooded flunkie... 
Dan: ^_~ 
Dan: Meanwhile, an Alchemical strike force is the vanguard of the Locust Crusade... 
Dan: ...when Autochthon decides to wake up and detaches from Creation, stranding them? 
Spoony: simultaneously, the Abyssal is summoned to Gem by the First and Forsaken Lion 
Dan: Dude! 
Dan: I keep forgetting about him! 
Dan: The only Deathlord that would happily team up with a bunch of Certified Badasses(tm) 
Spoony: :-D 
Dan: Did you ever play FF7? 
Spoony: perhaps Abyssal talks rest of The Team into helping him out with the Locust Crusade 
Spoony: they pick up an errant Alchemical as an ally 
Dan: With no idea what he really is? ^_^ 
Spoony: and then F&FL mentions to them something about some crazy god up in Nexus 
Dan: "Hey, you seem lost. Need help?" 
Spoony: Yes! 
Dan: "Uh, yeah. I think I made a wrong turn at Chiarascuro." 
Dan: They bond on the road. 
Spoony: who got a hold of some kind of crazy-powerful 1st Age Artifact 
Dan: *was reading a video-game-cliches-in-RPGs thread* 
Spoony: which is later revealed to be ... dun dun dun! The Eye of Autochton 
Dan: No, wait! 
Dan: First they have to get to Gem, where they find the Locust Crusade 
Dan: There's angst! 
Spoony: ooooh, angst 
Dan: The Alchemical realizes his new friends want to fight off his people! 
Dan: And then... 
Dan: *dramatic pause* 
Spoony: what side will he choose?! 
Dan: The Locust Crusade gets nuked! 
Spoony: ROFL 
Spoony: YES 
Spoony: by daddy's own eyeball 
Dan: Cue boss fight 
Dan: Mmm, recurring bosses. 
Dan: Kefka was the man. 
Spoony: who's the boss? 
Dan: Mmm.... not the boss-boss 
Dan: He leaves, and as the party tries to follow his flunky attacks them 
Dan: With some other flunkies 
Dan: Little-er Gods 
Dan: Toss in some Principle of Motion to piss off Jason 
Dan: Then use that handy-dandy charm to zap home once he's down to a few health levels 
Spoony: and the assembled badasses fight off the mid-boss to find themselves amidst the ruins of Gem, unfortunately levelled as a side effect of the Locust Crusade getting bamf'd. :-) 
Dan: Yes! 
Spoony: Sidereal appears, tearing his hair out 
Spoony: possibly to enlist their aid in the task that they already decided they were going to do anyway? 
Dan: "My boss sent me to get him some coffee from Nexus, and when I got back... Argh! He's GONE!" T_T 
Dan: "We were going to check out the situation in Gem, and then see if we could enlist the aid of the Lunars against them. He suggested... " 
Spoony: what was the position of the little god in the celestial bureaucracy? 
Spoony: mail boy? 
Dan: Nah, something more laborious and less thankful 
Spoony: I think we need to give him something extravegant to do with the Eye. 
Dan: Duh! 
Spoony: something that involves taking over Creation, or at least, certain parts of it 
Spoony: perhaps as a basis for staging a coup on Yu Shan 
Dan: He can't be a Celestial Incarna unless there's a new heavenly body to Incarnate 
Spoony: in hopes of taking the Pleasure Dome 
Spoony: O_O 
Dan: Needless to say, he was addicted to dreamstones in Yu-Shan. 
Spoony: but of course 
Dan: Ah! 
Dan: He was a mail boy for the Bureau of Destiny! 
Dan: He, by chance, saw a report to Ketchup Carjack (damn translations) about the location of the Eye 
Spoony: back when Bagrash Kol was playing with it, no less 
Dan: I forget. Who did Bagrash Kol blow up with it? 
Dan: The Apheliotropes? 
Dan: Among others? 
Spoony: I don't recall precisely 
Dan: He was the one in the North, ja? 
Spoony: ja 
Dan: *nods* 
Spoony: built himself a flying city, went on a conquest spree, blah blah blah 
Dan: Yadda yadda 
Spoony: shot down by realm defense grid like a bitch 
Spoony: hmm 
Dan: On the way to [X Lunar], the PCs encounter a wacky old man. 
Spoony: the raksha may be resistant to going on the Eye quest 
Dan: He gives them a pillow. 
Dan: Why? 
Spoony: as the Eye of Autochthon kills Fair Folk in minutes just by being nearby 
Spoony: within a league, actually 
Dan: Ah. 
Dan: Well. 
Dan: He's obviously going to gain super-badass powers in the endgame. 
Dan: And then fall to his knees, unable to go on. 
Dan: Ask the other party members to avenge his... idunno, his doilie collection. 
Spoony: :-P 
Dan: Anyway. 
Dan: There's all sorts of fun plot things you can do with that. 
Dan: Don't forget the corrupted party member! 
Dan: And the redeemed one! 
Dan: Hmm. 
Dan: It occurs to me the party members should be gained in order of relative power... 
Spoony: *reading up on the Eye* 
Spoony: it rearranges Essence 
Dan: Since, of course, this is all structured along the lines of a console RPG. 
Spoony: wiping out the Locust Crusade would probably involve catastrophically detonating all the manses/demenses in the area 
Spoony: ...which is pretty cool 
Dan: Yes! 
Dan: Mmm, that's a great image. 
Dan: Ground shakes. 
Dan: Glass shatters. 
Dan: The caps of the manses blow off like the containment lid at Chernobyl. 
Spoony: And then we get an Akira Effect? 
Spoony: :-) 
Spoony: or a ton of small ones 
Dan: Mmm... 
Dan: I know! 
Dan: The Alchemicals' modular charms go haywire! XD 
Spoony: *laughs* 
Dan: In addition to crap exploding everywhere, obviously. 
Dan: Rather than the Akira effect, I like the pillars of blazing Essence (color-coded for Aspect, obviously) bursting out of the manses, one by one 
Spoony: oooh 
Dan: And the BIG manses just exploding 
Spoony: like a massive volcanic effect 
Dan: Yeah! 
Spoony: which is especially funny 
Spoony: since it's gem 
Dan: *dies laughing* 
Dan: I forgot about that little detail. :-) 
Spoony: I'm actually picturing this like a console video game now. o_o 
Dan: YES! 
Spoony: the destruction of Gem just played out in cutscene in my head 
Spoony: we see the party running towards the city. camera around foot level facing the front of the party as they all skid to a halt, looking up at the city 
Spoony: letterbox 
Spoony: various shots of manses blowing their top 
Dan: Ooooh, better yet they're going to a manse. 
Dan: Being arrested by Alchemicals or somesuch. 
Spoony: wait, wait 
Spoony: they're not looking at the manses exploding 
Dan: ?! 
Spoony: they're looking at the LOCUST CRUSADE marching out into the city 
Dan: Ah, that works. 
Spoony: ...THEN the manses start blowing 
Spoony: ^_^ 
Dan: There's a shaking, and a noise... 
Dan: ...they look around to see a pillar of light 
Dan: And then a manse RIGHT BY THEM explodes, and they leap out of the way of the flying debris 
Dan: Then we see manses going off like firecrackers into the center of the city... 
Spoony: this cutscene is rendered in-engine in my head, by the way. 
Spoony: complete with jaggies 
Dan: ...the streams slowly bend away from the vertical, in towards each other... and then cross 
Dan: Boom. 
Spoony: ^_^ 
Spoony: cataclysmic explosion followed by fade to black> 
Spoony: ? 
Spoony: or cut to black 
Spoony: and then everyone wakes up surrounded by ruins 
Dan: The beams form a wireframe dome, which is annihilated in the blink of an eye, Akira-style 
Spoony: which probably extend a few dozen miles in every direction 
Dan: Fade to black. ^_^ 
Spoony: awesome. ^_^ 
Spoony: people in Nexus don't see the blast, but they do hear a queer rumbling noise for a moment one day 
Spoony: and are generally confused as a fine layer of ash settles around the city 
Dan: in NEXUS?! 
Dan: Am I just totally forgetting where Gem is? 
Spoony: nope! 
Spoony: :-D 
Dan: @_@ 
Spoony: I think an entire city detonating is enough to hurl some dust a few thousand miles. ^_^ 
Dan: Trrruuuue 
Dan: AWESOME! 
Dan: My shuffle just pulled up the X-Laws theme from Shaman King. ^_^ 
Spoony: visiting Sidereal is made most obvious first of all by being the only clean being in the South 
Spoony: :-) 
Dan: He teleports in with a steaming cup of coffee, looking very confused. 
Spoony: X-D 
Dan: Meanwhile... 
Dan: Above the inner sea. 
Spoony: (I'm thinking we have a New Year's Eve chronicle...) 
Dan: On the command deck of what looks like a steamship. 
Dan: Stumpy man in pleather: "Something's going on south, sir... something big... and it's headed this way!" 
Spoony: cue tidal wave? 
Dan: Captain, a Dynast: "What?! Clarify, engineer!" 
Dan: Exterior of airship: 
Dan: Tidal wave and shockwave of dust and debris thrown over a thousand miles 
Dan: Airship is hit, tumbles gravelessly. "Sir, we've got dust filling the turbines! We need to ground it!" 
Dan: Airship smashes into roiling water. 
Dan: End cutscene 
Spoony: :-D 
Dan: :-D 
Spoony: brilliant 
Dan: Side-story with the Dynast and Jadeborn? 
Dan: Or too soon for that? 
Spoony: too soon 
Spoony: we just got the Sidereal in there 
Dan: Maybe shift the Sidereal's entrance after the airship cutscene... 
Spoony: Hell 
Dan: That's the only way I could think to introduce a Mountain Folk 
Spoony: slap the airship cutscene directly on the end of Gem blowing up 
Spoony: although I guess it would have to be anyway 
Dan: Oooh, while we're at it... 
Dan: Cut rapidly between a few different shots after the initial manse burst 
Dan: Airship comman deck, shot of airship coasting over the sea. 
Spoony: People all over creation looking south and going "What the hell was that?" 
Dan: Shot of the Council of Entities discussing something unimportant. 
Spoony: DUDE 
Spoony: WE ARE STUNTING THE DESTRUCTION OF GEM 
Dan: The Emissary is suddenly distracted and looks southwest 
Dan: YES! 
Spoony: *dies laughing*
