Perpetua 20: A Roar Across Cenn 02

After an ominous meeting with Thereus Aegir, leader of the Hexcloaks, Caoimhe Wake regroups with Brontë Adelvys and Antistrophe Landrace, fresh from their victorious Beachminton showdown in Seawalk. Caoimhe shares the ultimatum she received from Aegir: Find out whether the recent earthquakes are tied to Castine, Living Metal. Which raises the question: How does one go about investigating a member of the Ennead while he is surrounded by his most loyal followers? 

This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 02

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05]

NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]

I've been waiting to put these in until we had stats, but I guess we just aren't getting those during the early acts.

Jimmy Cone & Johnny Cakes [NMJJC]

Traits: Arrogant, Ambitious, Competitive, Playful

Stats: ??? 

Attacks: Ace Killer, Back to the Fundamentals, Big Little Bro Backhand, Big Little Bro Beachminton Bash, Classic Comeback Shot, Desperate Dexterous Swing, Dexterous Hit, Final Shot, Jimjam Slam, NORMAL OL' HIT, Patty-Cake Patty-Cake Baker's Lob, Rapid Fire Double Down Super Shot, Slippy Slappy Overhand, Signature Dexterous Hit, Veteran's Return

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Brotherly heirs to the Cenn City dessert empire.

Sigh. I don't really get it. Why do they share a character profile page when they clearly have different stats? Why aren't their stats visible even after you beat them in Beachminton. Is their whole concept some sort of reference I don't get? I think this game is pretty funny, but every comedian has some bad jokes. 

Kley Kaina [NMKLA]

Traits: Skeptical, Mysterious, Just, Vengeful

Stats: ??? 

Attacks: ???

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Caoimhe's childhood friend, a Poison Elf who has trained to be a doctor. Somewhere along the way, they developed strange allegiances.

You know when you watch an anime and you go "I hope that side character gets a whole episode?" That's how I feel about Kley. What's their deal!? Why are they so pissed off about Caoimhe joining the Hexcloaks. And what "strange allegiances" do they have? 

Delani Kaina [NMDLK]

Traits: Faithful, Brusque, Determined, Demanding

Stats: ??? 

Attacks: ???

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Kley Kaina's mother and a loyal follower of Castine. On a pilgrimage to Cenn.

I wish she wasn't so mean to Kley, but I can't help but like her. It's funny that she has a big crush on Castine, it's sort of like being in love with a Greek God, but I guess that happened in myths too so why not in a game?

Thereus Aegir [NMTHA]

Traits: ???

Stats: ??? 

Attacks: ???

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Leader of the Hexcloaks.

"Leader of the Hexcloaks." That's it!? You couldn't even say "Cruel leader of the Hexcloaks" or "Mysterious leader of the Hexcloaks?" Not saying more makes him even MORE mysterious. And why are his TRAITS hidden? It's not like he's hiding being a jackass, he just is one!

Athon, Castine's High Cleric [NMATH]

Traits: Devoted, Strict, Punctual, Knowledgeable

Stats: ??? 

Attacks: ???

Spells: ???

In-Game Description: Castine's chief attendant, responsible for the affairs of his Temple.

Athon is sort of a mirror. If you choose all the hostile dialog options, he's a real prick back to you. If you choose all the more quiet, humble ones, he'll reflect respect back to you. I'm not sure it really matters if you piss this guy off or not, but if you don't want to get scolded, just be polite and patient.

Castine, Living Metal [NMCLM]
