The Last of Us

While a small enough, fireproof, super strong Demon could sneak up to said Dragon, climb up to its mouth and make her way through its body until she reaches something vital to destroy. Like its heart.

But honestly, I dislike the dragon method.

That aside, if this dragon is so massive and powerful that is could literally demolish towns just by landing on them, why exactly did humans win this 'war'? For that matter, what do any of the player characters matter if they could all get erased by this behemoth who could do a much better job of liberating the world alone than if they all teamed up without him?

The Last of Us

Threatening to burn an Infernus Demon to death is like threatening to drown a mermaid.

The Last of Us

It wouldn't have the same effect, really. At least with that she'd die in combat, which to her is fine.

The Last of Us

Like I said before, I do have an idea of my own, it'd just require teamwork. It would be something along the lines of someone knowing that Demons consider deals to be pretty freakin' important, so if a Demon makes a deal, they're going to keep their end of it. (On the other hand, if the other party breaks the deal, they're screwed because that Demon is gonna come and get them no matter what.)

What the idea boils down to is Shax being trapped inside some form of magical prison, or barrier, or something of the sort by a combined effort. While she could break it and free herself if given some time, they could do something that would make the prison kill her before she could free herself, so to get free she has to make a deal.

Might be a little more complicated and such, but really it's the only way I see her as calming down enough to be with the group without breaking character.

No....That's actually a good idea.Head towards the mountain- say a roar caught her ear, and she wanted to see what it was. Then you could fight EmFell, who would beat you but not kill you, and then you can listen to reason. Good, yeah? You get beaten for the first time ever, and EmFell prevents another race from going extinct because they wouldn't change their ways.

Problem: Shax fights to the death. If she gets beaten, she expects to be dead, if she's not dead, she'll keep fighting until she is or her enemy is. Or the enemy runs away. Being 'beaten' won't make her listen to reason, it'll make one of them dead. (Pretty sure Shax doesn't have the same concept of 'reason' as most do anyway.)

I just don't want you to be offended if that loner, fighter personality gets her into trouble. and please, please, don't have her fight the dragon. she's caused enough damage to herself, don't you think? I'm fairly certain just about every character having been involved with her so far is not interested. I'm not saying quit playing her, because she interesting, but I might ask if you could perhaps tone her down a bit. I know I had to tone Zmerr down. I've used him for other RPs. He's by nature, a total ass. But in order to make this gel, we need everyone to be at least a little cooperative because otherwise, someone's going to get killed or left out. That's never fun.

It'd be damn great if I could tone her down, but from what she's shown so far I don't know how it's possible. She's already made it clear to them that she'll fight anyone and anything just because they're there, so toning it down from that without redacting everything she's done so far doesn't seem possible.

Well after her getting isolated as I kbow she will if she cant relax before that bitits bound to force people to think aboit their ways amd get open to other ideas in order to get rid of the lonely stuffplus I know that soneone like her gets bored to a point that she needs to thibk that if people acoid her that she cant fi g ht for pleasurr. She will have to het along in order not to het bored off her assbut I do have to say. Shax seemed quite OP if she were to be like. If one can hurt it one can kill iton thay standard she can kill the goddess seras who cant be killed

She's been doing what she does for a long, long time and still isn't bored of it. Why would she need to make friends to have fun? She could just as easily fight the 'friends' for her pleasure instead of telling jokes.

Also, didn't Zmerr say that every character CAN die? Including your 'goddess'? Because I mean, she isn't actually a goddess anymore, she's banished.

The Last of Us

I already understand that I need a reason for her to calm down a little, the problem is obviously finding that reason. I know her best so I should know what that reason would be, but it's also BECAUSE I know her so well that I have no idea what reason would get her to calm down and work alongside others. I mean, she's so confident in her own abilities and so in love with fighting things she would happily take on a town-sized Dragon for no other reason than to have a good, challenging fight. By nature she isn't just a fighter, she's a loner, a survivor, and it's been that way since she was barely capable of walking. Buddying up with a bunch of others for 'survival' makes no sense to her since, well, she'd been 'surviving' alone in a realm far more hostile than this one for most of her life.

Honestly, if anyone comes up with a reason I'm all ears, but so far I've had no ideas that would work. Well... Other than one, but it would require a team effort.

You just said the stupidest thing. A dragon the size of a town...And you say the tall human-sized demon is being underestimated. The dragon who has fought armies... against an unhumanly powerful demon. A swipe of a foot larger than a tree is tall, or a swing by a tail that is too heavily armored to be cut through or hit. Don't pick a fight with this dragon. He is meant to be more NPC than player character, but he will kill any of the characters on the island. The picture wasn't just how he looked- that's his size. And unless this is anime, you won't be able to beat the crap out of him.

Oh, I have no doubts about how hard it would be. Shax wouldn't be getting through a fight like that without some serious hurt, but I'll still tell you that you shouldn't underestimate her. I don't care how big and old this Dragon is, Shax can hurt it, and if she can hurt it, she can kill it.

It doesn't matter if it's more NPC than player. It doesn't matter how powerful it is. A creature as big as that, and as old as that, has a weak point. If it's as big as a town, then I'm sure it'll have a lot of fun trying to pinpoint Shax when she's sprinting around, jumping up its limbs, clinging on like something from Shadow of the Colossus. It'd be a truly epic fight, but I am confident in both Shax and my own ability to roleplay.

So, is it time we continued yet?

The Last of Us

Pacify the island? What, you mean summoning this table will make the entire island not want to fight anyone?

He'll swat aside the demoness like nothing.

You're REALLY underestimating Shax. That's not a clever thing to do.

And Drake... Hell if I know. just a random direction that nobody else went in.
