Poll question for you: What happens next?

[Bungleau]

Okay, folks... Missy's adventures are almost at an end. She's stalking off from Kerah towards Cet's tomb, and.... something, for sure, is going to happen. But what?

That's where I'd like to get your input. Based on what's happened so far, what do you think is likely to happen when Missy meets Cet, Kerah, and Anephas again? Will she join the dark side? Will she do what she's told? Will she get even? Will something else happen?

I honestly don't know... and I'd like you to help me figure it out.

Note: there will be no "Clue"-style alternate endings to this one. Something is going to happen, and that something will be final.

So... respond back, if you will. Either respond to this post, or PM me with your thoughts. I can guarantee you that I won't spoil anything here, and I cannot honestly tell you whether I will or will not use any thoughts or suggestions posted here. I just don't know yet... but I'd really like to find out.

So respond to me either on this thread or via PM, and let me know what you think is going to happen next and why.

Thanks!

Since she's a ZenMaster, she knows that if she does something evil and joins the dark side, then it will come back to her one day. Maybe she should refuse to give the Mavin Sword back to Anephas, and then take down Kerah for ditching her [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

Kewl, Bungleau!!!

But I really don't expect you to be influenced by our ponderings!!

Personally, I can't see Missy standing for being manipulated in anyway (as well she shouldn't) - she'll take a very independant action that will state clearly that she is in charge of her own destiny and (words deleted) anyone who gets in the way! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I believe the outcome of this poll could very well have impact on the future fate of my six valiant adventurers. So just for the record: I declare myself disqualified in this matter.

But personally I favour happy endings. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Well it's a tough nut to crack. Even though she hasn't admitted it she has been pushed along a certain path. As, Wyv suggested, perhaps it is time for her to show that she will not be manipulated.

B,

I suspect Missy has the ability and intestinal fortitude to decide her own fate. Being the 13th Zenmaster (how many does that make for overall totals? [img]smile.gif[/img] ), she has the ability to not only decide what to do using logic and cause/effect (karma) plus all of her previous trainings.

(1) I suggest you allow Missy's dice to decide her course of action(s). In this way you introduce the old paper/dice RPG.

OR (as I suspect Missy's dice will show)

(2) Missy knows allowing Cet to exist will make ALL of the Gael Serran inhabitants lives to suck. Missy will destroy him.

(2a) Missy has been 'handled' by Kerah...rather callously, I might add. Karma should be now visited upon her. Missy should destroy Kerah based on the demands of karma.

(2b) Since Anephas was/is/has been a willing participant in both the 'handling' of Missy and the 'Great Farce' he is also a subject of the fate designed by karma. Missy should destroy Anephas.

This will leave the Gael Serran "without divine leadership". To fill this void, the great Stackman (and his party [img]smile.gif[/img] ) and Missy should have a role in filling this void.

(3) Missy (and/or Stackman's party) will ascend to the rightful levels of "Demi-God" under the auspices of the IronWorks "Gods".

This will have the effect of elevating all those who are "deserving" of elevation to "higher planes of existence" and "lowering" all those who have garnered the least of karma's benefits.

Of course, all of the above is just my most humble opinion [img]smile.gif[/img] . Good luck and PLEASE get the next chapter up!!! (more plaintive begging)
