Welcome Fellow Farscape fan.

I loved Farscape,John Cricton was the coolest main in sci fi. I cried when they ended the show.

Thanks glad to be here, and I too was saddened by the final episode.

The other potential problem I see has to do with how much damage the ship takes with Guts and the mage using it as their battle field (that seems like the kind of battle that could be very hard on the surroundings).

We still don`t truly know what the extent of the kushans magic really is, up until now they`ve shown only the power to modify, create creatures and control them. This new mage seems to be quite powerful and might to a degree have powers like the one the Kushan king has (since it appears he endows the mages and creatures with his essence).

So we truly don't know if he is going to try and fireball Guts into submission or simply surround him in fog and try something else.

I completely agree that If Schierke tries anything within the armor, she will expose herself to the demons that haunt it and Guts, the Mad Dog spirit would love to take in another morsel.

I think Serpico is going to Gauge the situation until he sees a clear opportunity to strike (thats what he does and he`s to damn smart to try anything reckless without a plan).

The boat really seems to be pretty strong, it is a modified War Boat to transport demons, so a battle breaking out on board would have been foreseen in the design, so it might get damaged just enough for them not to take it to Elfheim, but still might be good enough to take them to another port.

I agree, it probably is pretty durable, but Gut's sword (especially when he is in berserk mode) can do an incredible amount of damage, and if the Kushan guy casts any flame spells... well boats burn really well.

They dont need to care about the Kushan boat, the one prince dude's boat is off the shore a little bit and still should be safe. Unless those huge sea monsters had their way with it.

I just dl-d it yesterda, and all I can say is: HOLY FUCKIN' SHIT!!!

i wonder how long is this party going to stay together.
from history, we can safely tell that someone is going to die and the party will be broken up sooner or later.

Someone will die eventually but who knows who it is going to be... well if it were me writing this it would be Caska

she has been a loose end ever since Guts got possessed and choked her

If I had to pick someone to die, it would be Rodrick and Manfred. Both of them are fairly useless (except for providing a ship, which they should survive long enough to do) and Manfred in particular is extremely annoying. But what makes you think anyone will die? Guts companions seem to have a decent chance to me. The Band of the Hawk lasted for quite a while with no main characters dying, and this time we can be confident that no one is going to sacrifice the entire group to the God's Hand.

Well, from what we have read, we can safely assume that:

1.- Guts will tear apart anyone who even looks the wrong way at his new family.
2.- He will never leave Casca alone, the whole tower fiasco banged that lesson into his head.
3.- He will not follow anybody for any other thing, unless it makes his goal of getting Casca to Elfheim faster or safer.

So for anyone to die, they will have to go trough Guts first and like we all know, going against Guts, is like dipping yourself in BBQ sauce and jumping naked into a pit full of lions.

i dont think those two count as mainstays in the party. yeah i think they will be gone as well. just plot devices.

the keywords are 'sooner or later'. nothing stays the same in berserk. i dont expect to see the party stay together for a long long time.

if i had to pick, i will pick farnese. she has gone from insane religious fanatic to sweet lovely apprentice seeking redemption.
she has gotta go.

Will Serpico still keeps his promise of killing Guts if she dies, since you know, they became friends?

who knows what will happen for sure?
guts will always be around thats for sure. everyone else is just a plot device waiting to get twisted and exploited.
to the detriment of guts.

any reason why you think this party is special?

Post by **Libaax** » Sat Mar 18, 2006 6:15 pm

I think they wont be killed cause there are nothing special about them except Casca and Puck who have been friends with Guts a long time.

There are no reason to kill off people that he hardly knows and only travels temporaly with. The hawks was killed off cuase they were his brother and sisters.

Thats why i think they are safe.

Farnese he might kill to piss of Serpico though so Serpico will go crazy and blame Guts or something.

Post by **Istvan** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 12:35 am

I still don't see any reason for them to die, and certainly not any time soon. On the other hand, for Guts to complete his revenge it is clear that he will need at least a few allies, so I could see them sticking around for quite a while (and maybe one or two additional companions being added at some point along the way).

Post by **Eldo** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 12:44 am

Personally, I don't think any party member would die anytime soon...they are his anchors for his emotions. If anyone of the member should die, Guts may become emotional unstable, some dire consequences may occur as a result, and he will eventually revert to becoming a loner again. To be honest, I think Miura has some use for his allies, Roderick may be able to rally and muster an army for Guts, because of his status, and Farnese's brother...well, that remains to be seen.

I think the party right now is quite good. We have the berserker, the intelligent fighter, the mage, the thief, the half/mage protector, and some girl that might be of some use later on.

Any thoughts on what would happen in Elfheim after the warning from Skullknight?

Post by **Wandering_Mystic** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 12:03 pm

Casca will become the next Skullknight

Now which of those doesn't belong into any average D&D group?

LOL caska can't die! she represents guts' conscience or something. when she dies, guts will really go berserk.

Post by **Brainpiercing** » Sun Mar 19, 2006 8:46 pm

Oh, I'm very much against Casca dying, but I simply had to mis-quote SoS's post like that.

Post by **Istvan** » Mon Mar 20, 2006 12:59 am

Agreed. If somebody in the party has to die, Caska is the one I would least like to see be the one (with the exception of Guts, obviously). Not because I like her the most, but just because after all the build up of how guts needs her, and the way he has worked to keep her safe since the tower, it would feel incredibly anti-climactic for her to die now.
