[NOTE: this is part ten in a series of posts lifted from the\u00a0quark message boards<\/a> where I recently GM’d a game of\u00a0Werewolf<\/a>. \u00a0The theme was Final Fantasy 6, one of my favorite RPGs of all time. \u00a0To see the other posts in the series, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

WARNING: there\u00a0will<\/em> be spoilers here, and lots of them, so if you haven’t played Final Fantasy 6, do yourself a favor and play the game before reading on!]<\/p>\n

Sabin, Setzer, and Cyan make their way to the <\/em>Falcon, an airship that Setzer reconstructed many years ago for a friend. On their way, they meet up with Shadow, who offers his assistance. He, too, has decided that with nothing left to lose, the only course of action that makes sense in this ruined world is to take on the godlike Kefka.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

Using the <\/em>Falcon, the party makes an aerial drop on Kefka’s tower and fights their way through a series of impossible traps and monsters. Working together, they make their way through, until finally, at the heart of the hellish dungeon, they come face to face with…KEFKA.<\/em><\/p>\n

KEFKA: Welcome, friends! I knew you’d make it here, so I’ve prepared
\nsome suitable entertainment for you!<\/p>\n

CYAN: How long are you going to let the destruction continue?<\/p>\n

KEFKA: I’ve tapped into the ultimate power. Observe…!<\/p>\n

Kefka levitates Setzer.<\/em><\/p>\n

KEFKA: Such magnificent power! You are like insects to me!<\/p>\n

Kefka lifts Shadow into the air with his magic and throws him against a wall.<\/em><\/p>\n

KEFKA: I will exterminate everyone, and everything!<\/p>\n

SABIN: People will keep rebuilding the things you take from them.<\/p>\n

KEFKA: Then I’ll destroy those too. Why do people rebuild things they
\nknow are going to be destroyed? Why do people cling to life when they
\nknow they can’t live forever? Think how meaningless each of your
\nlives is!<\/p>\n

CYAN: It’s not the net result of one’s life that is important. It’s
\nthe day-to-day concerns, the personal victories, and the celebration
\nof life…and love! It’s enough if people are able to experience the
\njoy that each day can bring!<\/p>\n

KEFKA: And have you found your “joy”, in this nearly dead world of
\nyours?<\/p>\n

ALL: Yes!<\/p>\n

CYAN: My family lives on inside of me.<\/p>\n

SABIN: I have come to experience anew the love of my brother!<\/p>\n

SETZER: My friend’s airship…and her love!<\/p>\n

SHADOW: I know what friendship is…and family…<\/p>\n

KEFKA: This is sickening… You sound like chapters from a self-help
\nbooklet! Prepare yourselves!<\/p>\n

KEFKA: Now, for my next trick, I will make you all…disappear!<\/p>\n

SETZER: Kefka, you don’t know what you’re doing! Stop!<\/p>\n

Kefka sends the Light of Judgement on the southern coast ot the
\nsouthern continent.<\/em><\/p>\n

KEFKA: I command the greatest power in the universe! You are all
\nhelpless before me!<\/p>\n

Kefka rises on a tower, while other party members do the same.<\/em><\/p>\n

KEFKA: I will destroy everything… I will create a monument to
\nnon-existence!<\/p>\n

CYAN: Life will go on! There will always be people, and dreams.<\/p>\n

KEFKA: No! I will hunt them down. I will destroy it all! Destroy!
\nDestroy! Destroy!!<\/p>\n

SABIN: We will not allow you to harm another living thing!<\/p>\n

KEFKA: Hee, hee, hee!! But what fun is destruction if no “precious”
\nlives are lost!<\/p>\n

Kefka sends another Light of Judgment on the northwest continent.<\/em><\/p>\n

SHADOW: It’s over, Kefka!<\/p>\n

With those words, the fight begins!<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em><\/p>\n

The ground on which Kefka stands suddenly lurches upward, and a host of monsters appear. Cyan, Sabin, Setzer, and Shadow fight their way through the first tier, a frighteningly\u00a0monstrous beast<\/a> with bulging muscles and a powerful physical attack. Working together, they defeat the monster and progress to the second tier!<\/em><\/p>\n

Innocents lynch sunstarr12, a mafioso!<\/span><\/p>\n
