It Began in a Tavern (OOC Thread) (Part 2)

Sorry everyone, I had a crazy busy weekend and just couldn't find the time. I don't want to keep you all waiting, please skip me this round.
It's not a problem really. Good luck with whatever kept you from posting!

I'll try to get my post up ASAP so we're not too behind on schedule. I have plenty of inspiration from all those Ghibli films I watched.
 
Post is up! I couldn't have it up as early as I wanted because I was lost on what to write. But I got it after all.

There is a lot going on in that post. We're in the midpoint now so I basically set up the later half of the story. Your typical story structure advises that this is the point where almost everything goes wrong and all seems lost. But our characters rise up to the challenge, become even stronger, and prevail in the third act.

So, because of that theory, I was thinking that the Queen and Kurai do end up (eventually) succeeding in blowing up the sun. The world then plunges into complete chaos and darkness. "All seems lost" at that point, but Katara, Ravenna and everyone else rises up to it and try to correct the world, which they succeed at the climax of act three.

What do you all think of that? I don't really like "spoiling" like this but I think it helps to agree to some key plot points. This is hardly all of the story of course. There is so much in between all of that. But having a "skeleton" helps.
 
Post is up!

fantastic post! I'm already thinking about how to proceed from it!

That would take some amazing powers to bring the sun back! But it opens up a lot of possibilities for the plot.

I'm game!

Indeed! But the climax will be complex enough to allow for that.

I honestly think that the climax should be more than a battle. We should summon every drop of our creative spirits and make it otherwordly, almost like a fever dream. Anything is possible then, even bringing the sun back.
