OOC: Sorry it took so long, guys. Busy week.
Jake was leading the two girls based on directions Vanellope was giving them. They had barely managed to get in site of the car factory when Ascot and Ralph finally caught up.
"Man, look at that thing," Jake whistled. "All that just to make a couple of candy cars? They certainly roll deep around here."
He turned to the two arrivals.
"Well, you two took your time - and good grief, what happened to you too?! You look like you've been in a war!!"
"Let's just say," Ralph responded, "King Candy is a BIG fan of exterior decoration."
"Oh?"
"The type that includes fireballs, explosions, and high-pressure hoses."
"Wait," Jake protested. "All this place has is candy! Ho-"
Ralph raised a hand to interrupted Jake, reached around, winced, and then grunted as he pulled out something from his side. He presented it to Jake who recognized the shard.
"Wait, how did you get Peanut Brittle stuck in your... actually wait, I don't want to know."
"Thanks."
"Talk about overkill, what sort of a distraction did you two do to piss him off so much?! Speaking of which..."
Jake looked around.
"What about Belle? Did you agree on a time to meet?"
He looked at the sun's position. It must have been more than an hour or two. Either King Candy's castle was a veritable labyrinth, or...
"She's late," Jake muttered. "I don't like this. I know she's supposed to be a skilled infiltrator, but... this is taking too long..."

When Belle darted off, Jake reacted quickly.
"Oh, that's how you wanna play, huh?" he grinned. "Have it your way!"
He quickly picked up both Ascot and Amaya, told them to hold on, and then ran as quickly as his strong legs could carry him. His feet pounded through the forest path, his sense of direction keen, his heartbeat strong and regular. He leapt over obstacles and creeks in strong bounds. Yet despite his athletic effort, he arrived just a touch behind the nimble little thief. He put down the two kids carefully.
"Darn, I must be getting old," he said in a joking tone. "Oh dearie, dearie me, my arthritis is acting up!"
His chuckles were cut short when the ruckus caused by Vanellope's appearance and escape at the race.
Jake listens intently to Ascot and Belle's plan, nodding in agreement.
"I'm going with Belle. She might need the backup, you never know when you could use some muscle."
Then he turns to Ralph.
"Think you're up to the challenge, big guy?"

"Only place she can go," Jake said in response to Belle, his arm pointing out to the races. "She did mention she needed it to enter the race, so that's your safest bet.
"As for the Cy-Bug nest..." Jake walked up to the dead Cy-Bug, and tore Belle's giant shuriken from it with a mighty yank. He sniffed the bug blood on the blade, then the bug itself, noting the pattern colors of its carapace while he was at it.
"Well, that's weird," he mused. "It definitely smells like grease, bug, and metal under it all, but it's like it's been marinated in candy and strawberry fudge. Like somehow it's been trying to meld in with this world."
He turns to his comrades.
"And I don't like the sound of that," he continued, hefting his axe on his shoulder. "Not one bit.
"For now, though, let's just head for the racetrack. From the looks of it, most of the locals have turned up to watch. If you listen, you can faintly hear the crowds. So yeah, some fast footwork is gonna be a good idea.
"Anyone want a lift? I'm probably the fastest endurance runner among you guys, so it might help us move together."

Yeah... Felix's hammer is absolutely useless in combat. He tries to smash out of his prison cell in the movie - and winds up strengthening the prison window bars. So him using it as the Hammer Mjolnir to inflict pain is going to backfire in a big way.
He makes an excellent healer, though.
EDIT: Also forgot how tiny the damn hammer is - its reach is horrible!

Before Jake could respond, Belle nailed the flying Cy-bug rather expertly. He managed to grab the medal before it landed on the ground.
"That's a pretty good shot," he whistled. "Though about magic... um, yeah, not really my field. Sorry, but I'm more of a straight-up close combat expert.
"Besides, this just solves the issue of the medal - it doesn't answer where the Cy-Bug's hive is, nor where the Sign is."
He takes a good look at the medal, noting that the medal seems rather... military in nature. He takes a glance at Ralph and Vanellope, sensing something was amiss. Still, it was their medallion, so he hands it over.

*sigh*
Should really have tried to play the KH games. Then again, not really a console player.

I must be going by a different definition of the Final Fantasy magic system if Meteo, Ultima, and Mega Flare are "Low level". Those were spells designed to wreck a lot of people's shit really badly, really fast. Not to mention you specifically said Oner's Mega Flare was as powerful as Neo Bahamut's Mega Flare.
And yes, I concede that this is a character roleplay and that battle is not as important as character interaction and storyline. It just loses a bit of its charm if a battle for the fate of the universe is reduced to one side being the Death Star and the other side having giant targets painted on them.

Renose, I'm sorry if I sound like a whiny little git, but most of the challenge of a game is fighting enemies face-to-face, not watching people get blown up at range. The latter's nice when you're a superpower trying to prove a point to a bunch of backward terrorists, but it's no way to run an RP. It's great in a single player game like Skyrim or Final Fantasy, since game balance is not an issue. It is an issue, however, when several people are playing, and one guy basically eclipses the rest in raw power, rendering them as hanger-ons.
At this point, thanks to Oner/Reno's constant use of heavy firepower, I wouldn't be surprised if Heartless suddenly evolved magic immunity just to stay alive. God knows there's been plenty of stimulus to weed out the lazy ones who aren't trying to build up magic resistance.

Okay, sorry to be a bitch, but...
Reno really stretched my disbelief to the breaking point. Not one page ago, http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/963/posts/ic?page=15#post-742311he had flattened a bunch of Heartless with a Megaflare and an Ultija[/url]. And now he launched another Megaflare.
Either Reno is really, really exhausted at this point, and will probably need to sit out any future combat for the rest of the day, or he's a walking nuclear arsenal, at which point I can only say this game is so fucking broken I don't see a point in playing anymore. The rest of the team are just Reno/Oner's cheerleaders as he uses heavy artillery to flatten everything but the bosses. And while the boss fights are exciting, it means we just sit around looking pretty 70% of the time.

Jake raised a hand to everyone behind him to stay quiet - he had spotted something up ahead. Rather, he spotted something buzzing above them. He scanned the skies carefully, before he caught sight of the giant insect flying to the castle.
"Hmm," he mused, before making his way back down. He turned to Ralph and Vanellope.
"So, quick question; there's a castle up ahead, and the bug's flying in its direction. To whom does the castle belong, and how likely are they to listen to a bunch of stragglers and tourists? 'Cause if we doubletime it over there, we're going to have to figure a way to make sure if the castle is clear or not."
