Spirits Return

[SmartyPants]

Luca said "If our psy defenses fail, we can...disipate...for a short period of time"

Does this mean that defeated spirits, like Azma, could return and cause problems?

[Frosty]

For Azma, it depends, but that would be a really good plot twist. Make a mandatory spirit boss, that you have to fight about 5 times over again (the spirit getting better each time). I would depend for Azma because you don't have to kill him, you can tell him a false name, or tell him his real name if you ask his name twice. High aptitude or personality needed (I really don't know which).

[Zhampir]

They likely won't, they were anchored to Baz's basement because of Fizooz's debt, now that the hero (unless he killed Azma) made them forget their reason for being there, they will likely wonder the world.

(unless he killed Azma)

What if one decides to kill Azma? Will he be able to return to fight the Hero again?

[Zhampir]

theoretically I think he should...

[hellboy222]

that would be interesting, but I think a bit boring.

From what CraigStern said earlier in one comment about the Hero fulfilling the task Baz set him, Azma and co will be back soon, since they can't be killed- just temporarily disspiated. The difference will be that the Hero either persuades or scares the spirits (via fighting and dissipating them once) into not bothering Fizooz and the living anymore. That's one possibility, methinks.

unless azma joins the cutlists to get back at you

[Frosty]

Why would he do that? The cultists would just put him in a crypt to guard books, when he would rather get Fizooz than Duvalier, and Fizooz is in Baz's attic.

how do they control spirits anyway

[Zhampir]

They likely don't, the spirits are simply there because it's the "Crypts"

[Frosty]

Actually, I realize Zhamphir is probably right.

[KZ]

I am pretty sure the spirits were there in the first place, and the Cultists simply found them to be of use in protecting their books.

[Zhampir]

It saddens me that none have commented on this major point in my ramblings, but why are the books being protected and not destroyed like a normal conquistador would have done?

[torugo]

zhampir is right why go to the trouble of hiding books in a crypt filled with spirits and traps instead of just burning them
