Fuck off and die, OP.
Kill the demon spawn, should be easy enough after wasting it's sire.
Fight to fend her off but not to strike her down. She's overcome with grief and will burn off her rage if you can stay alive long enough.
Jump out the window and rappel down instead.
What kind of person fight the BBEG without multiple exit strategies?

>>46770107
In all seriousness, it's a fucking war. People have a tendency to stand by the hard decisions they make. There are plenty of legitimate reasons to roleplay a genuine resolve to fight some bint you had a crush on who knows how long ago when there's this much at stake beyond murderhobodom.
Duty to your king and country.
The realisation your bond was founded on a lie.
The implication that as a demon, she supported and profited by whatever was stopping peace and prosperity across the land.
I legitimely don't have enough information to tell whether I would disarm her and take her into custody, or execute her in cold blood-but OP, tabletop games don't have to end like japanese cartoons. Believe or not, sometimes childhood promises are broken and people move on from their first kisses because they have more important shit to deal with in life.
All I know is it's going to be a short fucking fight if she's not a caster, because those deformed giant hands, complete lack of armor and oversized scythe do not bode well for close quarters combat.

Rape. The answer is always rape.

>I am in fact a magical turnip enchanted by the fairypooffather to write angry posts on anonymous imageboards.
That has more potential to be an interesting story than anything OP writes will ever have.

I don't even know what you're talking about, but resorting to ad hominem without grammer doesn't really help your case. Most games I see improv a lot of shit anyway.
I just listed some legitimate reasons to kill whatserface. That little spiel you typed out sounds like the worst kind of anime with an obvious "right choice" nobody here is springing for.
>>46770746
I like JoJo too, but I'm still not OP.
>>46770771
Agreed. It sounds like a Max Attack plot hook; some crazed dipsomancer trapped a demon inside of a crude cage for spirits then lost it after one too many botles of moonshine. The thing starts trying to hijack the nearest set of Special Orders and sows discord through the food chain outlet.

You really have no choice but to kill her. It's a dirty business, and a little regrettable, but she's picked her side. Even if she's your lover, the cold calculation of things means that she's better off dead.

OP purposefully ignoring the people giving legitimate critique to your contrived excuse of a narrative in order to attack peopel who hurt your feelings doesn't cast a very good light on your intelligence.

There, there. I'm sure Adventurer-kun will visit you in the dungeons sometime once you understand why it was wrong of your father to butcher all those villages.

It's a story, sure, but it's full of holes.
If you're a well-known Chosen Hero, why would the demon's daughter aid you in the first place? Surely she knew your end goal.
The entire party didn't detect her infernal bloodline? Even with your Hero powers?
Why didn't you take your similarly-leveled adventuring party instead of getting a new crew of elite soldiers? If the soldiers are that powerful you should have been questing with them, if they're just equally-leveled substitutes you should have taken your long-time companions with whom you already have experience fighting alongside.
Why didn't she help her dad? Did she just watch with disinterest while you killed her dad, then get sad when you finished?
In the end, it's a string of illogical happenings clumsily assembled for a twist that's supposed to provoke an emotional response that it hasn't earned.
>>46770107

Not gonna risk mindless mass of practically zombies to ravage the current world because his crazy lich leader totally thinks he's gonna cure them in just a little bit more of time after he has not in thousands of years.
Doesn't help he's been killing people nilly willy too to "sustain" his people. This doesn't particularly evoke nice feelings towards him.

>>46771183
...it's technically better than OP but dude. OP was not exactly a high benchmark to clear, and I'm glad you don't DM for me.
Anyway, again-war, hard choices. First off, we only have the sergeant's word he's not, say, an autmaton controlled by the evil Umbral King. Secondly taking him at his word "probably" is not a good benchmark to justify the systematic extermination of every other sentient race on the world. Thirdly, did he ever try to ask literally anyone else for help other than some of the worst beings in existence? Fourthly, is he even sure there IS a solution before damning everyone else along with his race?It also doesn't help that you kind of made them sound like a race of perfect dindu nothins
No. His justifications are as flimsy as his memory, and he deserves to be laid to rest in the name of king and country. His people are already dead.
If it's any consolation, the "dark powers" are next if Pelor has anything to say about it.
>Yeah, one that never happened in any game because you pulled it out of your ass.
You'll be surprised:
http://www.giantbomb.com/spectral-force/3025-1160/games/
AFAIK in the early games where this did happen, you play as human mercenaries on the princess's side. She wanted revenge on the hero but didn't want to resort to war.
I remember playing Spectral Souls 2 on PSP a long time ago where the people in this setting are still dealing with the fallout of the assassination, three wars and counting.
>If you're a well-known Chosen Hero, why would the demon's daughter aid you in the first place? Surely she knew your end goal.
Demons don't know who the hero was I think.
>Why didn't she help her dad? Did she just watch with disinterest while you killed her dad, then get sad when you finished?
Her older sister can see the future and had her sent away from the castle when the hero would show up so as to protect her.

That alone is enough justification to kill him. The rest of them got a raw deal because of their shitty king, maybe (based on a single piece of highly biased information), we can call their extermination an overdue mercy killing.
C'mon, come up with a hard one.
>>46771495

That wasn't a moral quandary, that was a tragic self-fulfilling prophecy.

>>46771294
It only became a moral quandary when the session ground to a halt due to the table being split down the middle as to whether or not this was "right".
Then again, this was their first campaign ever. Literally hadn't touched a tabletop RPG before this, and don't play that much vidya. I chalk up their hesitation to being relatively inexperienced with things like this.
>>46771317
In my defense, that was the DM who pulled everything together. I was just the wizard. I asked him out of session as to why the Asryn got persecuted and he literally shrugged and said "jealousy" and didn't elaborate any further.
Fucking hell.
>>46771222
>Creates Shadowtouch plague to siphon life force from other races to sustain the Aethon.
No, THEY'RE committing mass genocide.
You have nothing but the word of a construct that these magic mucks were attacked over 'jealousy' as opposed to other concerns.
It sounds like an asshole who has made terrible decision after terrible decision, trying to justify it.
HE made the plague, meaning HE is choosing to kill the rest of the world to save himself.
This is not the moral quandary you think it is.
You're a dumb.

Fair enough, that's better than what it sounded like at least. Actually that's technically better than how my first session ever went; the group ran the fuck away after the undead king knocked me into a wall, leaving me to chop off his head singlehandedly. And later on I kinda got eaten by a giant talking wolf beacuse that's how it goes in Middle Earth.
And throughout all this, I was playing Karl Tanner. I literally wrote his Gin Alley speech as my character's backstory.

>>46771697
You'd think it would come up during their past together. The rest of the party refused to buy her armour because her gross hand doesn't fit any mortal gauntlets and nobody would sell her any proper weapons. Also they think her scythe is only for intimation purposes rather than a legendary demon weapon.And they're right, she almost left in tears for being useless one time until adventurer-kun helped her paint an abandoned scythe red and started up rumors about the weapon so people would just surrender when she showed up with it
Welcome to /tg/. You write good plot and ideas, we discuss and argue, and maybe we all leave with some new plot hooks.
