[tabletop summary] Tower of Valor 1/18.
Quinneapolis
Quinneapolis
The final battle against Arche, God of the Tower.
Quinneapolis
The beginning was grim, with nothing being able to pierce the barrier surrounding her as her divine fury overwhelmed everyone.
Quinneapolis
The first turning point was when Ragnarok pushed past the limits of the Skygrass Clan, achieving the fabled Fourth Ignition - rather than a weapon or an attack, it simply applied to the space before her the concept of having been cut.
Quinneapolis
With the barrier down, the tables started to turn.
Quinneapolis
As it did, Eleanor and her friends gradually dragged out Arche's justifications and history.
Quinneapolis
As it turns out, she no longer remembers nearly anything about her mortal life and the things that she loved enough to create the Tower in service of.
Quinneapolis
All she remembered was the wish, and she became something inhuman in order to grant it.
Quinneapolis
When the party pushed her even further, she made a sacrifice to ensure her victory -
Quinneapolis
she drained an entire Tower floor of life, pouring it into her own atma.
Quinneapolis
Again the party refused to die, pushing her into more and more of a corner - both in combat, and in their arguments.
Quinneapolis
Saying that God may wish for the Ascent to continue, but the girl named Arche doesn't.
Quinneapolis
ANd that her true wish was lost long ago.
Quinneapolis
That was about when they reached Floor 9999, the very top of the Tower, and saw the stars in the sky overhead.
Quinneapolis
Orbiting them, innumerable worlds beyond its confines.
Quinneapolis
Then, Arche introduced Eleanor to the girl she really wanted to meet.
Quinneapolis
She distorted time, turning herself into the person she was nine thousand years ago.
Quinneapolis
Almost immediately, she was overcome with the sorrow and pain that is all that remained of her original self.
Quinneapolis
Eleanor declared, with absolute certainty, that she was going to save her.
Quinneapolis
So, Arche showed them the magnitude of her pain, crushing them under the unbearable weight of God's suffering.
Gabiluzbad
Then she dropped The Tower on us
Quinneapolis
They endured.
Quinneapolis
Eleanor replied with her own feelings, one idiot who doesn't know how to deal with being unhappy to another, as her own final attack - the Jupiter Peacemaker.
Quinneapolis
Jun pushed his will so far that he regained a single memory of his own childhood, turning it into his own final attack.
Quinneapolis
Orion and Iseul both affirmed that they had Arche's back when she wants to stand back up, following it up with a star-themed attack under a sky of true stars.
Quinneapolis
Zoa showed her kindness,
Quinneapolis
and she finally broke.
Quinneapolis
With Arche on her knees, mourning that she's reached her limit without ever finding her successor,
Quinneapolis
Eleanor declared that together they would create a world where nobody needs to sit on the throne of God.
Quinneapolis
Next: Epilogue.

I didn't cause nearly as much emotional devastation as everyone else, but I am proud of

Gabriel... thank you for all you've done. But I can't hold onto you anymore.
Someone else needs my help far more, right now.
Gabiluzbad
Oh don't worry
Quinneapolis
Quick session breakdown:
Gabiluzbad
I saw that
Gabiluzbad
and it hurt
Quinneapolis
Arche was the standard endboss type, a Level 22 Master
Quinneapolis
Spirit/Guts build, but four of her attacks (Sword of the Heavens, Adamantine Symphony, Fist of Annihilation, Tower Cleave) had Damage Shift
Quinneapolis
She was VERY strong.
Quinneapolis
Nothing complex, no special mechanics.
Quinneapolis
Three transformations (Eyes of God, The Death of Floor 2388, and The Girl I Was) and one ultimate attack (The Tower).
Quinneapolis
Kaja had to leave, so we're doing an epilogue session next week before this game properly ends.
Quinneapolis
I think the two scenes in the campaign that fucked me up the most in terms of real emotions were
Quinneapolis
- Seasnake Marionette
Quinneapolis
- Ragnarok's final meeting with Alexander 13
Gabiluzbad
I never actually described what the attack was
Gabiluzbad
But imagine, like, a tornado of garotte wires
Quinneapolis
I imagine that it's a bit less chaotic than that and more precise
Gabiluzbad
Depends on how he wants to do it. He could just make a mess of flying body parts, or he could precisely fling someone around with only discomfort
Quinneapolis
I just had a very distinct mental image,
