The End of Arcana: Part 1

[kagami]

Ok, so here's to the easiest part of the Arcana ending. Easiest because it's the part I haven't really thought much about, despite the fact that it was coming up next: The big fight with Souichirou Tokuzawa and his gang of Reversed Arcana

I guess that assumes that we don't all die fighting at this stage; I honestly was surprised when we didn't get killed at the drug fight. That was some lucky rolling.

But this part makes sense. Thanks for posting it up!

I'm posting this epilogue with the assumption that everyone survived, including the NPCs. But it's certainly not unreasonable to assume people could die at this point in the game. If that happened, I'd have to modify the rest of the sessions to reflect it, probably.

I personally always sorta imagined Kyon dying here, in a Greek drama sort of way. Going out with his nemesis and all that. But it would make just as much sense for one or the other of them to win. So many different kinds of drama, really.

But yeah, it makes sense to assume everyone survives as part of telling the story. I look forward to hearing what's next. ^^

Yeah, I can see how you wrote yourself into a corner there. Probably a good thing to do in that situation would be to contrive something that would separate a large portion of the NPCs out somehow. (Some sort of field? Unexpected attack creating a diversion?) This would allow you to not have to deal with so many characters and to better balance the fight involving the PCs. I know, it's kind of a contrived solution.

Regardless, it's interesting to know what would have happened next! (Even if I haven't had a stake in things for a while now.)

The Oni were pretty creepy, I liked how they were introduced.

So what would Hirokazu's power have been? Not rocket launchers I'm assuming.

[kamalloy]

Everything can be solved with rocket launchers.

Hadn't thought of it, to be honest. I'm getting a couple of ideas now, but they're good enough that I think I want to save them for another game, rather than reveal them here.

[grysar]

Fair enough. Lemme know when you end up using them.
