>>5426685Well shit, anon, thread 14 is still a big deal! Thank you so much again for sticking with it for that long! Musta’ been painful!
>Joplin TinkerWasn’t gonna be Clarke, actually, though robots MIGHT’VE been involved somewhat! There WAS going to be a few… <span class="mu-i">modifications</span> and tools you could have bartered for yourself and your pals–in fact, I was going to let you make some of your teammates a bit more durable for a price… not to mention getting to meet another <span class="mu-i">CLASSIC, KOOKY BONES QUEST CAST MEMBER</span>, of course! Can’t put a price on that!
>Mermaid PearlThe pearl, as much as I hate to admit it, was what I think took a lot away from the pirate segment–I got hung up on some kind of treasure hunt idea, but it ended up causing most of the Pirate subplot to be derailed in favor of the Mermaids and DEEP MOTHER. Looking back on it I still feel a little bad about doing Captain Mendoza dirty–feels like Andre was my weakest skeleton character too.
Back to the initial question, though, the Pearl was a lot of things: it was a get outta jail free card, it was a cure for Talbot (though honestly I never expected you guys to pick that), it was a potential cure for Christy and anyone else who was grievously injured, and if you had messed around a bit too much it would have been a cure for something <span class="mu-r">TIM</span> would have imparted on Stan had they crossed paths… which they nearly did a few times. In short, the pearl could have been a LOT of things, but I think you probably chose one of the best uses for it! Then again I’m pretty damn biased, so…
Anyways, that’s a long way of saying that yes, you probably could have used it on Bea, but you had no reason to know or care at that point, not to mention that at the end of the day she was still a total goddamn psychopath. You would’ve seen more of that had you sparred with her in <span class="mu-g">THE LODGE</span> or visited the Order’s enclave and/or The Gala!
>Druid RuinsNothing much–it was meant to be a red herring by Boris that would have resulted in a surprise attack by the forest’s more… <span class="mu-i">exotic</span> occupants. You didn’t run into them during the General subplot, but there’s more critters lurking in those woods than you think…
That said, the ruins would look completely out of place and have a foreboding atmosphere–Sybil could probably deduce that they possibly teleported there, though when, how, and why she couldn’t say. Noting that Boris got his MASK from there, there might be a few hints as to his true allegiance, too…
