Quest or Mission: Gossiping Grandmas Party Members: Ignis, Gaia, and Sephiroth (the mini one) Dice Roll: (We weren't sure if we should each roll or not but just in case!) Prompto: 20 (Obligatory Tom Cardy link. Ignis: 14 Sephiroth: 11 Gaia: 6 Summary or Thread: So Prompto, Ignis, Gaia, and Sephiroth team up to escort grannies! How hard could it be?! Ignis will probably be workin' the grannies over for gossip (METAPHORICALLY SPEAKING). Gaia and Sephiroth aren't great at the social skills or intel collecting but Ignis rocks at that. Prompto will be keeping an eye on the surroundings and maybe EVERYONE will be wondering how he got to be the technical adult in this group.
But there could be some solid performance on the bandit issue. Sephiroth is a highly trained and competent fighter and SOLDIER. Gaia is from a world where she might have lived as a rich girl but still needed to defend herself. She can conjure up a hammer. Ignis is a practiced strategist and support skill afficionado with excellent combat abilities of his own. These will be some of the WORLDS MOST PROTECTED GRANNIES no matter what the three out of towners look like. Prompto is probably leavin the diplomacy to Ignis. But maybe not! Maybe he's also makin' friends with the grannies!
The question is what might happen depending on what TYPE of bandits show up.
ORPHANED KIDS: This group of multiracial bandits could be just a bunch of juvenile delinquents looking to score some snacks/food for orphaned kids. Yeah we know Charlie's doing his best and people are trying to rebuild but sometimes things slip through the cracks. SO maybe this is a group that was are having to do what it takes to fill their mouths.
While the tactics probably wouldn't normally work on such a skilled and canny group, trouble will come when the frontrunners of the 'kids' (probably the bigger, older ones) try to attack. Sephiroth, trained to be lethal regardless of the target would probably react that way, shocking grannies the party alike. Gaia will probably try to prevent Sephiroth from landing a lethal blow in a 'what are you doing they're kids! just scare them!' and maybe even succeed because she can teleport in to block one strike as a 'surprise' (won't work a second time but hopefully once will be enough). Ignis may not be superhuman fast, but he'd still move in to help reprimand Sephiroth for being like that against children, and would properly scold all of them before figuring out ways to make them into Productive Members Of Society. Child guards for the grannies lets go?! Prompto, having absolutely nailed a baller 20 in perception, will also move to react and try to prevent any lethal reaction IF the children actively attack Sephiroth.
Sephiroth will NOT go lethal mode if the kids do not attack him.
Some of the pilfer group of kids might actually get away with product and maybe they won't be as successful. Some of the kids may be injured a bit or captured. It will be a bittersweet thing. AT LEAST 90% unsweetened cacao.
ACTUAL BANDITS: For one reason or another these are actual, adult bandits. Maybe the don't care who their target it. Maybe it's the outsiders who were the real targets (thinking they could be sold off). Maybe the grannies are a secret group moving actual gold from place to place and the bake sale is a cover. Whatever the reason there will be less merciful leanings; at least from Gaia and Sephiroth. Both are from worlds and circumstances where if you turn to this sort of stuff you get what's coming to you and if that's death? /shrugemoji. Ignis will be more inclined to capture bandits alive for intel purposes. Prompto will take potshots at the baddies, having the advantage of range and massive forewarning. This may or may not be tempered by Ignis' efforts to take prisoners as they do know how to work together. Things like cover fire and so forth instead of outright direct hits.
