Ron is the male harp say it with me
vestal bluff
Ron is the mythical Prince of Harps

- Ron unfolds his four arms*
mild falcon
All of which are wings
lunar flame
YES

ron approaches pam with his 4 wings
"your wings will make fine additions to my collection"

"hello there"
"Ah, general Pamobi"

"You are an enlightened one"

Ron * bass boosted cough*
vestal bluff
"I will deal with this Nightwing slime myself"

Secret ending to Pyre
elder perch
once the rites ended, as the gaze of the scribes wandered away from the Downside, ron used all the Sol he had earned from the exiles to become a god and rule over the realm as a tyrant
vestal bluff
eh heheheh
heavy hill
Ron doesn't need to become a god, for he already is one
be nice to everyone you meet, because they might be ron in disguise

Ron travels different dimensions

hey so I swear this is relevant to pyre but is anyone here into fire emblem heroes?
mild falcon
Every character looks like hedwyn
onyx forum
ohhh i haven't played in a while but yeah
edgy kraken
I gave up the game when I realized there were different levels of a character, rather than Seth just being Seth
leaden flax
yes i am
elder perch
alright, related to that: anyone know where I can find some full body pictures of pyre characters?
leaden flax
the files
elder perch
I know of a site where I can basically create FEH units
was thinking of doing pyre folk
elder perch
that would be appreciated
wide river
the only full-body shots seen in the game are the models used in the rites
a few of the portraits are pretty close to fullbodies, but they lack definition in the lower halves as they're usually hidden behind the text boxes
think the sole exception to that is rukey bc he's so small
leaden flax
yeah
wide river
and ti'zo
leaden flax
and Gilman
wide river
but that's still not very many of em
leaden flax
oh and Bertrude
elder perch
well I don't think I'm able to really do Rukey and Gilman due to their size anyway
wide river
anyone who has to sit on a box in dialogue, basically
leaden flax
yeah but still
i gave them the most human Nightwings cause thats what i have on hand
iirc the other triumverate characters dont have unique sprites
like
they all have their own heads
wide river
yeah
leaden flax
but they're basically copy/pasted on a default robed sprite
thats recolored based on the triumverate
there are a few sprites though that give a bit more of the character
by that i mean the ones featured as the credits roll
wide river
oh yeah, i have those
leaden flax
yeah me too
like the one that shows Pamitha has feet
or the one of Bertrude that shows shes actually quite skinny and frail looking
elder perch
now to look at hero lists so I actually know what I'm doing when statting these people
elder perch
it has a custom unit tab
btw, what do you all think Jodi's weapon type would be: Bow, spear, axe or sword?
the easy way out would be some sort of tome but then I'd just give everyone a tome and that's just... cheap really
leaden flax
axe
elder perch
I was thinking the same myself
elder perch
yeah, making her armored
leaden flax
Hedwyn would definitely be sword/calvary
elder perch
I was actually thinking of a bow for him
his aesthetic always struck me as an archer type
leaden flax
really?
ive always seen him as the opposite
being a regular sword user
imo if anyone, Pamitha would be the archer
elder perch
we've had the complete opposite impressions lol
leaden flax
well whatever you do as Pamitha's weapon, shes gotta have flying move type
elder perch
of course
leaden flax
Bertrude would probably have a breath weapon, with calvary move type
*ae would probably use a lance/spear, with infantry move type
elder perch
I like the way you think
I'm actually thinking of *ae getting the book of rites
she's the most fitting to carry it really, considering her devotion
elder perch

late night thoughts
why does sky dance feature clapping, when harps dont seem to be able to clap
the answer of course, is that tariq loves seeing harps
and so he claps
spiral osprey

mild falcon
not sure how he claps and lutes at the same time though
perhaps one day ill be a skilled enough musician to understand
paper musk
tariq invented the looping pedal
mild falcon
i can just imagine celeste rolling her eyes as tariq claps excitedly
tariq invented the looping pedal just so he could clap along to the essence
also, how come pamitha got regular feet if her theme is called talon sheath
spiral osprey
because harps are just a mess
mild falcon
i have... an alternate theory
spiral osprey
there are a number of theories 😂 let's hear it

swift mango
@leaden flax I'm pretty sure it's alluded in the game that only Readers--or past Readers, like Volfred--can hear The Voice. 😃
leaden flax
yeah thats kinda what i though
cause i dont think anyone else besides Volfred really acknowledged he was even there
because i remember that Volfred said that he doesnt wear the robes so that the Archjustice cant see him
swift mango
oh yeah...
mild falcon
voice can see people available to rite
leaden flax
yeah cause they're waeing the robes
i dont think that the Archjustice can even see people unless they're a reader or are currently wearing rite vestiments or are currently participating in a rite
from what i remember
mild falcon
voice can see readers even without a rite, right?
leaden flax
it wasnt until Volfred wore the vestiments before the rite with Manley that the voice saw he was traveling with you
yeah but Volfred isnt a reader anymore
just cause he has the ability to read doesnt make him a reader
since you're the Nightwing's reader, he can only see you
Volfred isnt the reader for a group anymore, therefore he cant be seen by the Archjustice
mild falcon
hmm, i see
is there an instance where the voice talks to you outside of a rite, though
leaden flax
yes
he reaches out to you in your dreams iirc
telling you that theres a traitor in your group (referring to Volfred)
mild falcon
and yet, in the match with the accusers, he seems surprised to see you "reading so soon after your exile"
leaden flax
isnt that during the tutorial?
mild falcon
oh yeah, right
perhaps he can see you when you've got the book with you
since book is part of raiments
and presumably, readers sleep with books
leaden flax
if think its more that once you've read of the Book of Rites, and have officially been appointed as the Reader for the Nightwings, that he has the ability to watch you specifically
but other than that outside forces other than Readers (and arent wearing the vestiments or during a rite) are out of his sight
cause he had no knowledge of what Volfred was planning iirc, despite him being the former reader for the Nightwings
mild falcon
volfred was avoiding the raiments, and presumably then, the book
leaden flax
yeah exactly
he only gave in to wearing them once it was absolutely neccessary, so he could hide himself from Manley
or else risk the plan he worked so hard for being leaked to the Commonwealth
that risk being the only thijng that could push him into wearing them
mild falcon
the way i see it, it's gotta be the book that links em
because the only time voice talks to someone while they're not obviously near a book, it's the sleep thing, and as a reader you probably were reading the book at the time
leaden flax
but that brings the question
would he have still beeen able to see you had you left the blackwagon when Volfred rejoined with the Nightwings
mild falcon
depends on whether you brought a book with you, is my answer
anyway, if you didnt bring one, aj wouldn't have to keep an eye on you
leaden flax
i doubt they'd need you
mild falcon
i think they would, if volfred's reading
leaden flax
they'd already have to have a Reader in the first place to be able to be a Triumverate
mild falcon
that's disputed
leaden flax
how else would they even know what the Book of Rites says if they didnt?
leaden flax
well
mild falcon
like, someone who levitates above the rites and coordinates the team
leaden flax
i dont think thats how it works
because that person could easily do it from the middle of the Rites themselves
the only reason you do is because you're too crippled to participate
mild falcon
it's better to have a 4th person with a birds eye view than not, no?
i agree that if reader wasn't crippled, they'd play
leaden flax
yeah
cause iirc
Volfred participated in the rites with Oralech and the other girl when he was the Nightwing's reader
mild falcon
but presumably when tizo would switch in, volfred would still read
but if you walked into the gross bog, book in hand, to the withdrawn, and you told them
A: I'm the reason you lost to nightwings
B: praise ysl####
they might take you in
better chances than trying to outsmug a tree
leaden flax
well
tbh its not like the reader would have to go to another triumverate
theyres plenty of places they could settle down
they could go and help Bertrude in exchange for her letting you stay with her
mild falcon
thats fair, but when i imagined alternatives to triumverates, i imagined the reader going in solo. hand-forged stained glass circle, a good walking stick, all the way up alodiel
poison the triumverate that's supposed to face the nightwings for liberation, and become the true nightwing
now thats an AU and a half
leaden flax
Hell, Oralech could find them and take them in as a playing chip against the Nightwings
mild falcon
the sigil that the reader forges for themself is a big middle finger
oh, that's curious actually
which of the three true nightwings can read
leaden flax
well
when Volfred joined the Nightwings
it was
Oralech
Erisa
Tariq
so chances are it could be Oralech himself
mild falcon
couldve been the guy who swapped out and let volfred in
mild falcon
did oralech, in his great ragefueled vengance, have to convince some reader to follow him?
or did volfred teach oralech, in a heartwarming moment daww
leaden flax
could have been possible he had some experience reading beforehand
he was a physician so
mild falcon
well, there's more or less gotta be a way to doctor without reading
leaden flax
Oralech but he's a middle ages plague doctor
mild falcon
yeah, that's my headcanon
if you get hurt in front of you, he'll get right to the bloodletting
leaden flax
he doesnt know what he's doing but people are stupid so they just believe whatever he tells them
on the other hand
id think Bertrude would have actual medical knowledge
she'd give you some gross sludge made from a dozen toxic mushrooms
it tastes horrid but you'd get better and not die
mild falcon
yeah, her approach would be closer to medicine
using magic, she can perfectly synthesize grape flavored cough medicine
the kind that tastes nothing like grape
that's her secret recipe for surviving the pit of milithe
leaden flax
honestly
i see Oralech more as a physician that would like
help more with broken bones and cuts and other physical wounds more than sicknesses and diseases
maybe he'd be able to help with colds and the flu but not much else
Bertrude on the other hand would be able to make some potion that cures you of leprosy or other horrendous plagues and diseases
mild falcon
he treated tizo, so he knows the basic concept of holding broken things together and they'll fix themselves
oralech would glue your fingertip back onto your finger
bertrude would very thoroughly disinfect the wound, and then tell you to suck it up
rich sequoia
You two forgot about Brighton lul (he was the reader that Volfred replaced)
rich sequoia
Yes, only readers can become a voice.
rich sequoia
Well, maybe I misread but it looked like you didn't remember that he was part of the nightwings before volfred joined. If you did say that my bad 
leaden flax
tbh my memory isnt great so like, i knew it, but the thing completely slipped from me. I honestly didnt remember his name though
rich sequoia
To be fair he only gets mentioned when Volfred tells you about the og Nightwings. I would have forgotten about him if it wasn't because I've seen too many memes.

So! People! What did your Pyre story end up like?
cloud quartz
Bertrude, Tizo, and sir gilman were left in the downside. The revolution was peaceful. Sandra became my ghost wife
U?
Other stuff happened but this was last year lol
pliant junco
I, Bertrude, sir gilman and sandalwood were left behind
lime mural
Had a dramatic confrontation at the end with Hedwin, deciding which one of us (him or the Reader) should go. Best dialogue in the entire game, i can't get myself to replay it any other way now.
Myself, Berth and Tree McWoodson stayed.
pliant junco
Oh man that sounds really good
I couldn't take Oralech's freedom again
I felt bad for him
Apologized mentally to hedwin for making him unable to keep his promise
lime mural
Oh i totally beat him up for being so salty even after acknowledging whole situation.
pliant junco
I beat him up but
cloud quartz
I felt back for oralech but not that bad
pliant junco
god damn it
cloud quartz
Rip
pliant junco
uh, his life was worse than the rest at the downside
feral granite
I had to choose between myself and Hedwyn at the end too but I felt it was important to liberate the first 3 people I met (Hedwyn, Jodariel and Rukey) so I ended up staying in Downside.
lime mural
My only regret is sending the best girl in the first ascension.
pliant junco
Jodariel?
cloud quartz
Which is best

Tae, obviously.
pliant junco
You mean Bae?

I'm pretty sure you guys mean Xae

(but who knows)
pliant junco
That's why I really want to replay it too
I want more time with hedwin
hedwyn rather
I sent rukey out first
cloud quartz
Oof
Rukey was 2nd for me
He's a good boy
I kept pamitha in my party for as long as possible
pliant junco
My logic was that the rest were better fit for the life in the downside but
ah man pamitha
One of the most painful parts of the games were beating my adversaries
Like the fate triumvirate
The sadest part about that actually...
cloud quartz
Which are those again
pliant junco
The dog and son
pliant junco
Yeah
cloud quartz
Yeah rip them
pliant junco
The saddest part about that is that my last battle with them was their last chance
cloud quartz
OOF
pliant junco
and I had Bae's freedom at stake
cloud quartz
pliant junco
Bae's freedom against the guy that he so much loved
lime mural
Was he hitting on Tae?
pliant junco
I felt so bad
lime mural
I remember they had special dialogues after a few matches.
pliant junco
they were getting somewhere

Dont the son and Shae get together if theyre in the same place at then end of the game?

I choose to believe it
pliant junco
I couldnt leave bae here forever though

Ive plat transistor already

here being the downside

Shae deserved freedom
pliant junco
She deserved being with jodariel a bunch

But only if you had them interact in couple of matches.

Also can we appreciate how good the music is with the credits
cloud quartz
Also, off topic, but what are you guys favorite version of Never to Return?
lime mural
Tempers
cloud quartz
End Credits music made me CRY
Im stuck between tempers and dissidents being my fav version
pliant junco
My fav one was dissidents
lime mural
Not because it's the first, but because it's more gritty version of Rage of Demons, and i want it.
pliant junco
Music is so good though
The slight changes on the songs depending on who is speaking
the slight changes on the sonds depending on who has the orb
cloud quartz
Darren is in my top 3 fav composers just for his work on pyre
pliant junco
same
cloud quartz
Yeah the sound design is excellent
pliant junco
I loved him on transistor and bastion but damn
pliant junco
but pyre is the one that's stuck with me the longest
I actually felt pretty in pyre
like i was actually part of the story that was unwrapping around me
cloud quartz
Yee
pliant junco
I want to do a run where I loose every rite
brave sphinx
The music is pretty immersive and fantastic
pliant junco
It sounds like a pretty interesting run imo
brave sphinx
With or without the modifier stars?
pliant junco
would that make a difference if I loose on purpose?
cloud quartz
Do all the stars at once and get the trophy
Also, the stars would just make you lose faster lol
pliant junco
That's true
brave sphinx
Do they only give you the bonus if you win?
pliant junco
I'm gonna do that and I'm gonna feel miserable.
I believe so
I remember "If you prevail" somewhere in that description
brave sphinx
That would make sense
pliant junco
I'm really happy i didnt retry once during my first playthrough
the stakes felt real
brave sphinx
Same. It felt better, having to continue with your failures and mistakes like the characters did.
pliant junco
Harpies were probably the hardest for me
mild falcon
If you've got jodi as goalkeeper, and you remember to jump, you can get them

that's fair

Hedwyn with Shoulder Smash all day
Or with Volfred, plant your sapling just in front of your flame, and when you block, they’ll fall into it
But yeah, either Tamitha or Udmildhe is definitely the toughest
swift mango
I've found Shoulder Smash oooocasionally useful in VS Mode, but has anyone actually used it in the campaign?? It's really cool but I think there are other Masteries that are of more use, ultimately....
It's like, whenever I bother getting it, I end up only using it once, and then would be forced to spend 20 Sol on one of those Snuff boxes to undo it...
vestal bluff
Definitely me. I adore Shoulder Smash. I think Tamitha and Udmildhe are the toughest to face with all Titan stars, but they always score from the air.
Only trouble is that if you've already taken down two of them, then Smashing the last one will activate Shax and bring them all back
Still tho
I always go with the left side Nomad abilities, even though Sacred Bond is insane
I generally use Hedwyn on defense, and Critical Strike and Shoulder Smash are both really useful to keep opponents away
swift mango
Sacred Bond is AMAZING! I remember using it fondly during my first playthrough! 😍
now I really want to do some VS and experiment with Shoulder Smash....Think I might. 😃

willow jay
is it possible to fight the same group twice in liberation rite?
spiral osprey
Yes!
It doesn't happen much though, haha
You can help a team rise through the rankings by choosing to face and defeat the teams with more favor than them
willow jay
essence has 3 favours
now I have a liberation rite against Fate, and I have 3 liberation rites left including this one
I would really like to free both Pamitha and Tamitha, but if that isn't possible anymore I would rather go for fate and moon touched girl 🤔
barren topaz
I've tried to get the tempers back up to face them a second time but they still didn't have nearly enough favor, so the randomness of which teams you have the option to face probably factor in
spiral osprey
Yeah that's true, it probably does
willow jay
I guess facing them and loosing would help a lot 🤔
barren topaz
that too
willow jay
not sure if I should let fate win or take a risk for the harps
barren topaz
so I wonder if deliberately losing liberation matches to get the other teams out of the way would be a good strategy to do this

I wanted to get the 12 titan stars achievement near the end of my first run and accidentally did it into the rite against nothing
I guess that's one way

I just got the first time you face the pyrehearts and it was pretty easy
vestal bluff
How did you score 200 points with Volfred!?

I can never play as volfred

I just make a sapling and sit inside of it as volfred

also sometimes people will walk into your saplings
cloud quartz
Im a very offenseive player lol

You do need some defense with all titan stars though

Yeah, the 2 times i used volfred i just stuck the sapling in front of my pyre

That's the way to do it

What's the dream team?
For me its pamitha, bertrude, and jodariel
Sometimes i switch jody with rukey

with Volfred, plant your sapling just in front of your flame, and when you block jumpers or flyers, they’ll fall into it
Dream team is Shae, Bertrude, and Rukey
Bertrude and Rukey are both very good jumpers, with Lightning Run and Serpend Swiftness
gloomy steeple
Fae (with the infinite stamina with the orb thing), Rukey, and Ti'zo (with level 20 wings of ha'ub)
vestal bluff
Shae is defensive with Snap Cast, or offensive with Quick Fling
gloomy steeple
Or maybe bertrude instead of ti'zo
vestal bluff
You can press the offense with either of the jumpers, and if they get taken out, snap cast all day until they get back
Or take an opportunity and fling it in for a couple points
Just to get your other guys back
gloomy steeple
I beat oralech on true nightwings mode (the final liberation rite), with Fae, Volfred, and Pamitha
I used the flame leech on fae and that helped a lot
vestal bluff
I've beat Oralech with all titan stars, true nightwings a few times
gloomy steeple
Wow
vestal bluff
Either Bertrude or Shae each time
vestal bluff
Def not
tardy moth
well, pam or gilman
tardy moth
for me at least
vestal bluff
Gilman is a thrower, so that's viable
gloomy steeple
what
vestal bluff
I'm assuming you're not scoring with Volgfred...
gloomy steeple
gilman's a thrower?
vestal bluff
Yes
tardy moth
Look, I'm damn good at scoring with VOlfred
vestal bluff
He plays more like a jumper because of his short range, but you gnerally score by throwing with hum
tardy moth
people don't like scoring with Volfred but i love doing it
gloomy steeple
I NEVER use gilman to throw
vestal bluff
You should
It's a very short range throw, like less than a meter, but it charges up near-intantly
tardy moth
I throw with Gilman and Pam, most often
gloomy steeple
I pretty much only ever throw with fae
tardy moth
though usually I don't use Hedwyn for the Oralech rite, since i lib him before that, so that's fair
vestal bluff
Shae and GIlman are the best throwers, Rukey third-best
Once you have Quick fling that is
tardy moth
but in terms of general play, I hold onto Hedwyn so long, because harp-banishing jumps are a++
vestal bluff
Totes
gloomy steeple
yeah, quick flings insane
gloomy steeple
which one's that?\
tardy moth
Against Oralech probably Volfred/Fae/Pam. Possibly Bertie
I just... am good at scorring with Volfred??
which i think a lot of people aren't
vestal bluff
Shooting star is the same effect as Celestial Spike - Banish adversaries by throwing the Orb into them
It's hilrious with Quick FLing
gloomy steeple
That sounds pretty great
tardy moth
and since he's such a point sink
tardy moth
YES
gloomy steeple
I can't use lu's bough, he go's too far
tardy moth
tbf, I cut my teeth on mouse dashing/directing with HLD so.
onyx forum
u gotta aim him...thats the hard part
tardy moth
In hindsight, I think that helped with aim/his blink skill
vestal bluff
HLD?
vestal bluff
Never played it
tardy moth
essentially
vestal bluff
AH
edgy kraken
I was going to guess Head of Lettuce: Dio
tardy moth
its a gorgeous game, and one of my top faves
edgy kraken
Dang
tardy moth
but if you play keyboard mouse you get
real good with directional dashing with moues aim
vestal bluff
KB&M 4 lyfe
mild falcon
Seems like all my plays are low level in this game. I'm a one trick, all I can do is fly over everyone with tizo with talisman. If that fails, I try again until the ai lets me through
gloomy steeple
with the +10 pyre damage mastery, that works pretty well
tardy moth
Also, if you are smart with where you place Volfralech Jr. you can blink into that aura for safety
and then its like... one more blink and a few steps to dousing
vestal bluff
Scoring with Tizo is weird
In some triumvirates, he definitely scores, but sometimes, he's more defensive
Generally I'd play him more defensive though
mild falcon
He's a great all rounder, unless you're into casting
mild falcon
Tempted to give him cursed heart so I can't accidentally cast w him
vestal bluff
That's solid
gloomy steeple
what I find a bit strange is that, safe return and wider implosion are on the same path as the plus 10 pyre damage
vestal bluff
More importantly, faster sprinting and +10 glory are on the same path
tardy moth
I can never seem to get the hang of playing Tizo
mostly I just... use him to pass the ball, or to join auras w/ someone else
mild falcon
Is implosion offensive or defensive? I don't think I've ever used it correctly
mild falcon
I use tizo as a cur that can't cast
vestal bluff
Defensive, unless you get the Mastery where he automatically explodes when he gets banished
Then you just suicide into the opponents, to clear the way for whoever's the fastest on your team
mild falcon
I've never tried that, sounds like a good strat
gloomy steeple
can anyone use the portal ti'zo mastery? I can't use it at all
mild falcon
Must work well with moonsign
vestal bluff
I usually don't castat all with Tizo though
That's the theory
In practice, moon sign is difficult/inefficint to use
mild falcon
Moonsign probably works well if you're planning to cast with demons
vestal bluff
Cast or score?
mild falcon
Score, sorry
gloomy steeple
I mean, you have to go backwards to get to it
mild falcon
2 demons 1 imp, get the imp as far in as possible and then det, then toss a demon through moonsign to score
vestal bluff
If you get the Orb, then go through the portal, you get banished instantly by the opponents
vestal bluff
Hard to predict where the orb will be, reltive to the moon sign
Yeah
Better to just give the Demon Long Stride +the quickness talisman
Imps are definitly have the least defined role
mild falcon
One day I'll reliably score with demon
vestal bluff
If you don't have Shax, then it's posible
vestal bluff
Long Stride + Relentless Vigour, just lunge twice into one adversary, then the next, then the last
Early on the Withdrawn have Imps
Oralech has an Imp
But yeah, no Imp team.
No Savage team either
O a Sap team
mild falcon
Arguably fate
vestal bluff
Now that would be miserable to play against
Yeah, sort of
I considered it to be woofer dad's team
mild falcon
It's interesting the distinction between characters and Characters
Like, fate has 2 Characters
You can only play with Characters in versus
Because of that, you can have a 3 demon team or a 3 dog team in versus, but not 3 sap
Or 3 imp
vestal bluff
The asymmetry is kind of strange
Especially how one f the demons is Oralech
WHo's not really a typical demon
mild falcon
Symmetry would have seemed too forced I think
Yeah oralech has fun stats
3 demon team is only vaguely playable thanks to oralechs speed
vestal bluff
3 Demons could be done with giving Oralech the +hope talisman, and someone else the +speed talisman
SO if ORalech dunks, you can still score
Or just give everyone the +35 starting health mastery
Then it doesn't matter if they score twice as often as you
mild falcon
Yeah for sure
It's okay to trade blows if you're doing more damage
Oh also I can confirm that parsec works alright for pyre
Good find
vestal bluff
Oh, nice
That's really good to hear
I wonder if there are enough people in this server to start a Pyre Versus league?
mild falcon
the client gets a bit of lag, so maybe for a league we'd switch off or something
but only windows can host...
heavy hill
They did add symmetry though, in the form of Messenger Imp and Sandra
vestal bluff
Symmetry between races I meant
Like, you can have a triumvirate with 3 woofers, but not one with 3 savages, for example
Lag’s always an issue, but we’d have to deal with that even if Pyre had native online multiplayer
barren topaz
dark versus mode show me the forbidden all sap team
Darren would be unstoppable if he plays saps as well as we've been told
vestal bluff
Lol
I actually asked him about that in the Q&A
Funny that they had to need the Saps just because of him
barren topaz
yeah I think that's hilarious
vestal bluff
The Windows issue is more troublesome. But that’s just a limitation we’ll have to accept
Imagine 3 Saps, all with Miracle Kindling
“Oh, you think you win because you’ve done 100 damage to me? Now do 150 more.”
I re-read that in Manley’s voice
heavy hill

Just change the "oh" to "oh-ho", and add "hmmm" at the end of the first sentence.

hey vsauce, stupid question here
if im playing pyre again
do i just create a new profile
or is there some way to "recourse" through the story
onyx forum
new one, theres no direct ng+ i think?

okay cool
leaden flax
yeah
you gotta start a new game
otherwise a previous finished will just load you outside The Fall of Soliam, right before the final boss

OMGGGG congrats on finishing the emotional rollercoster!! What did you think? Any favorite people/parts/Rites/music??? 😄 😄
Hmm I consider Moon Sign pretty darn useful myself, FailerVI! If you use it right you can cover a lot of ground.
Someone mentioned Oralech not being a typical demon....how so though?? He seems to fit the definition pretty well to me...And he's even grumpier than Jodariel, lol.
leaden flax
doesnt Oralech have 2 sets of horns
mild falcon
oralech isnt typical demon cause he got high speed and low hope
swift mango
oh--you meant in gameplay. I thought you meant personality-wise or something. 😛 In that case he certainly is not typical, lol! Although since he got so horrifically injured from crashing down the Fall of Solium, and of course it took a super long time to heal, but I wonder how he got SO fast, considering injures? Jodariel is very slow and it [ utterly brilliantly] mentioned that she got her leg injured in the war; I'd always connected the two.
spiral osprey
I like to think Oralech trained really hard out of spite
swift mango
and unfortunate....
spiral osprey
And managed to get himself back up to speed
swift mango
Hm, yeah, that's a good point...
or even way past a normal demon's speed....Jodarial problably trains a lot, too...
spiral osprey
oralech is a spite engine running on decade-old rage and determination, like
mild falcon
yeah i think the horns are just a matter of time. imagine what soliam would look like if he was still around
swift mango
Yeah!! Well said.
spiral osprey
He may also be smaller than Jodi, in terms of actual body mass
swift mango
😮
spiral osprey
He's also a physician who worked on the front and likely has some grasp of physical therapy
mild falcon
soliam now has horns instead of hair, and they're all really gnarly
spiral osprey
So while Jodi hasn't been getting proper care for like, 20 years, Oralech has been taking as decent care of himself as could be expected probably haha
swift mango
Like, if you stayed in the Downside long enough you might end up looking like a stag or something.....
spiral osprey
Saviti has done some art like that!
swift mango
😮 really!? Oooooo
spiral osprey
like turning into a big beast, I mean
swift mango
Ohhh.....
spiral osprey
yeah, you should check out her blog! hold on let me grab a link
leaden flax
pyre but the demons have homestuck horns
swift mango
Jodi hasn't been getting "proper care"???
spiral osprey
leaden flax
yeah
spiral osprey
I mean like
leaden flax
Oralech is a physician
mild falcon
*ae would totally glue candy corns to her head to make jodi feel better
leaden flax
makes sense he'd be able to take care of any injuries he gets and keep himself fairly healthy
spiral osprey
I like to imagine the true nightwings going out on like 5 am runs lmao
mild falcon
do we know how long he was just lying there chillin
spiral osprey
nope
mild falcon
or boiling with rage
spiral osprey
no idea how long it took him to recover decent mobility either
swift mango
Oooooo that link is AMAZING Venhediss!! TalENT! The artist is here on this server you say??
spiral osprey
but he can't have been at the base of the falls for too long idt, he would've died from exposure or starvation even if he managed to treat his injuries somewhat
umm is she?
i'm not sure
yeah she is
darkshore grouper
swift mango
5 mil runs....yeah I can see that being a thing for sure!
mild falcon
oh man imagine if he was lying there for months and months just doing leg crunches

Epic talking with you guys!
And thanks for the link Venhediss!
I LOVE THIS DISCORD COMMUNITY GAAGHHHHH

mild falcon
ok demon harps would look extra rad but how would they play
demon rush ability, but with the harp charge immunity?
lower flight time, but stun on land?
wide river
oralech was just beginning to turn into a demon when he took the fast way down the mountain, and says his horns had "grown long" before he could walk again
gloomy steeple
He's only been in the downside for two more years than Jodi. So I'm assuming there's a break between growing sets of horns, unless after your first set of horns, you get your second set way faster. Especially because there is no sign of Jodi having a second pair.
onyx forum
tbh i think her eyebrows are baby new horns
but even so, oralech's second set is just born from anger i think
spiral osprey
so much anger he needed a second pair of horns to store it
vestal bluff
Oralech has has 2 pairs of horns because he was stripped of his freedom twice
First by the Commonwealth, then by Erisa
onyx forum
oracle, huh
mild falcon
Does oralech know he has 2 horns
Like, it's probably saddening to check with your hands so I assume he like, learned to not do that
And doesn't seem like there's a lot of mirrors around downside
I can imagine volfred trying to signal to his old friend that he has a new pair of forehead friends
cloud quartz
If he bathes on a regular basis, he's gotta know
Unless he just doesnt wash the head area
gloomy steeple
I assume oralech would bathe, he's a docter
hopefully he knows the importance of cleanliness
mild falcon
Rate all characters by likeliness to bathe
Bertrude is least likely
Or no, sandra probably wouldn't bathe but would smell fine because orb magic
gloomy steeple
I wouldn't think Ti'zo would bathe
mild falcon
Someone would lecture ae on cleanliness, and she enthusiastically starts bathing, but also insists on washing the blackwagon
spiral osprey
I bet Bertrude sheds tbh
onyx forum
omg....she scrubs it real good tbh
bertrudes got magic soap
YES
gilman n bert's skins just...lyin there
spiral osprey
Ti'zo can bathe himself! Like a cat
I'm p sure he has a status abt licking himself clean...
mild falcon
Does the blackwagon get mollusks after being at sea too long? Would ae remove them, or accept them as part of the nightwings?

scaly hes like a reptile

That’s what I thought too

ohhh i think of em like snakes or lizards
and yeesss scale polish
vestal bluff
✅Gilman
❎Volfred
❎Tizo
Tizo is fluffy
Like a mammal, or a small bird
And Volfred has a whole other skin situation

He probably would until someone points it out to him
Or maybe he would start after someone points it out to him

i lov saps as like. basically wooden octopi
scuttling around on a mass of roots
"sap raiments have legs" they braided em up and stuck em in pants
kind iris
i agree with this
mild falcon
Maybe saps are doing a diglett. They're all standing in holes that move with them, and sometimes the holes are where holes shouldn't be
onyx forum
sap outside in the dirt: around ur hight
sap inside on stone floor: oh god theyre so tall
mild falcon
Nah I was thinking the holes always there
Even when the blackwagon is boat form
Gilman, who has a vague understanding of fluid mechanics: ???
mild falcon
Saps can still go underground in the map where the floor is wood, right,
vestal bluff
They can also go underground in the Book of Rites, which is imaginary
What’s under the imaginary book’s pages!?
mild falcon
Who said it's imaginary
Sandra hates volfred the most, bc after he's done trialing she has to replace all the pages
vestal bluff
The Book arena isn’t actually imaginary, the Beyonder crystal just teleports you and makes you tiny
mild falcon
No, the book is regular sized
onyx forum
its another dimension imo
mild falcon
The book is exactly the size you see it, it's an abandoned art piece in a commonwealth basement made by a scribe
You'd be able to escape if only you thought to grab at the black curtains
Yeah this is the worst possible canon
vestal bluff
Man, Sandra is going to be pissed if she finds out
onyx forum
sandra, falling out of the arena and into the cw: OH COME ONNN
vestal bluff
On the plus side, it’s a whole world of people who haven’t been called idiots yet...
mild falcon
Sandra's epilogue leaves out the part where she realizes she was in the commonwealth the whole time intentionally
If Sandra gets out, she gets a pilates trainer license and proceeds to teach the smuggest, least relaxing class of pilates possible
onyx forum
omg

Hmmmmmmmm. You have some strength. But your squat form could use some attention.
