The start of the weirdest, most conterintuitive build I could think of :) (WORK IN PROGRESS!)

[Daedalus 88]

Reserved for future writing

( I am going to basically edit this post and update it as I go along, I found recently that doing thing in very small chunks at the start help building the necessary habit to do that  ).

Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, please meet my new Seraphim ... DIVANIA!! Does she look divine ? ;)

Divania: Yes mortal, I know. Your syncophant attitude is much appreciated ... now go fetch me some ambrosia if you please!

Daedalus : Ookkkkay ... we're off to a weird start. 

"Hear me fair ladies and gentlemen of ancaria, and let me tell you the tell of the most magnificent, radiant and fairest lady of all the lands ... I give you the most sublime ... DIVANIA!!! On to a quest to rid Ancaria of all Evil !!

Divania: Thank you peon, thank you. But those clothes are unacceptable!! And getting rid of Evil?!! That sounds like a lot of work!! .... Work better suited to sycopanth like you!!

Daedalus; I see we're off to a bad start.

Divania: And I have much better thing to do than vanquish evil ... like say ... FINDING BETTER CLOTHES AND GARMENT !! THOSE ARE UNACCEPTABLE !!!

Daedalus: Oh hell !!  ... *think for a while until a light bulb turns on above his head* .... wait, I have on VERY good authority that vanquishing evil brings LOOOADDS of gold (more ambrosia for you!). Not to mention .... NEW GEAR!! BETTER GEAR !! .... even .... MORE *FASHIONABLE!!* GEAR !!! ... If you kill enough monsters of the right variety, yes?

Divania: Hum ... You are right I guess peon. And anyways, I suppose that, while I am there, I might as well show some of the dreadeste creature of the land the might of none other than .... MEEEEEE !!!

Daedalus: "And get those more fashoniable clothes I suppose ...." *HUM!!*

Divania: What did you say, peasant?

Daedalus: Nothing most divine, nothing ... good luck on your questS (plural!).

Divania: Wha? More than one? *thinks about the latest ancaria fashio* FINE!! LET'S DO IT !!!

****Some time later****

Divania: These lands are soooo ... dirty !!! The dust and the mud and ....

****later after that****

Divania: Killing those monsters is hard work, dang!

****Even later****

Divania: I'VE BROKEN A NAIL !!! That's completely ... UNACCEPTABLE!! MUST I DO EVERYTHING MYSELF, GRRRR!!! What do you want, mongrel? You're a champion? you're think you're so though?!! COME HERE FORENS WORK SOME FOR A CHANGE!!!

*Bammmm!!! Divine gift activated!!.... after a while, a pile of bodies is all around divania, having suffered some kind of ... divine inflected, compulsory "auto-kill"*   ( yeah, she even refuse to take part in the fight in a very active way ... soo tiring*

Divania: Much better but ... ouch it hurts a lot !!! and ....

Daedalus: Yep ...  I am guessing forens will wait a good while before deigning to help you again.

Divania: That's unacceptable !!! Must I do everything .... MYSELF!!! You there !!! Lowborn rune master for which I've just done a favor .... COME HERE!!

*A bit later on, the diva ... sorry ... Divania is no longer fighting alone*

Divania: Yes peon!! A simple bodyguard for someone as radiant as me is simply no enough. I need ... A SUBLIME GUARDIAN INSTEAD!!

Daedalus: have fun with her ... fighting monsters with here I mean ...

Divania: Hum !!

Daedalus: I mean ... Letting the bodyguard ... sorry ... SUBLIME GUARDIAN do the work instead of you.

Divania: Hehehe ...

*More to come soon, I need to play her a little more, but I intend to do this on a regular basis now, assuming people find it fun to follow ;) *

Divania: dang !! This is hard work ... not to mention painful !! *pop a bottle of red ambrosia* ... hum ... much better!

*See you in the next episode  *

EPISODE 2: "How to properly train and motivate a bodyguard" Divania: HUM !! " ... I mean ... a SUBLIME guardian"

Narrator : And so it came that Divinia ...

Divania: HUM!

Narrator: Sorry ... our most SUBLIME and RADIANT Divania, came to hire a no less SUBLIME guardian.

Divania: Not as sublime as me but I'll let it slide this time puny mortal.

Narrator: hum! ... And so she brought along her new valiant sidekick ...

*Much Later*

Divania: This guardian seems quite the Diva, dang!! I have trouble motivating her to fight properly ... GRRRRR!!!

Narrator: Hehehe.

Divania: You find that funny? *suddent chilly silence* What could I do to properly motivate her? Ah yes, I know, lemme try this ...

*Later on, sublime guardian got assigned to hotkey 7, and after trying to recast when she doesn't fight properly, came to the following conclusion ....*

Divania: It is subtantially better .... but ... NOT ENOUGH dang !!!

Ezraelle: Hum ... Sister, how about you listen to your fellow seraphim for a change? 

Divania: Listen to a cherubim? 

Ezraelle: That cherubim,as you say, is currently kicking ass in niobum, just saying ... also ... I am using a sublime guardian too and it has been a VERY long time since I had any complaint about her performance.

Divania: Why would I listen to you, 'sister' ... 'LITTLE sister' at that? ... AND WHY DOESN'T THAT FRICKING GUARDIAN PULL OUT HER WEIGHT:)!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR !!!

Ezraelle: hummmm .... *thinks a little about how to properly counsel her sister* ... how about you show her your true DIVINE nature? Maybe that would work? Here try this, it works wonders for me ...

*And then later on, THIS happened*

COMBO 1: Archangel's Wrath + baneful smite. Cast it now and then, watch results ...

Divania: Ahhhhhh !!! This is SOOOOO much better !! Thank you LITTLE sister!!

Ezraelle: Euh ... well ... you're welcome sister.

"And the lesson of the day, if you want your bodyguard ... I mean ... SUBLIME guardian to work properly for you, it can help by Launching attack now and then to ... you know ... make a point that it IS time to kick ass and take names."

Divania: AHAHAHAH !! And speaking of motivating the staff ... Forens ... COME HERE !! We need to talk !!!

Narrator: is that a really good idea to talk to the gods like that I wonder?

Divania: Of course it is ... I just need to write a proper contract to motivate him ... that and ... SHINY BAUBLES !! Yes!! True story !!!

*Divine devotion skill picked, a few +to that skill relics added*

Divania: It is not yet perfect but ... oh ... so much better. Diamonds and jewels REALLY are a girl best friend !!!

Narrator: Okkkkayyy ... I think we'll stop here for that episode ... See you in the next folks

Taking a break from the usual posting style for this report because of ... well ... reasons.

It happened ... Her majesty Divania the first (and only ahahah!) is getting royally piffed of being constantly hammered down by monsters.  And this can make her somewhat ... difficult to be around at times lol 

Also maybe why I had to take a couple of days off from the annoying ... I mean ... the SUPERBLY DIVINE seraphim that is Divania.

And all of that is just an elaborate way of saying that she picked the reprisal mod on her most DASHING dashing alacrity CA ... okay that was way too redundant. I never tried this before but it seems to work surprisingly well with the current (and only) combat combo that I am using (Archangel's wrath to Baneful smite). I am also trying to ascertain whether or not it works with reflection, like from the forens divine gift. I am constantly shifting from "it doesn't work it seems" to "it seems to wokr" ... well.

Also, after being pilled on all the time and as she is starting to get some cash, guess what our royal majesty has decided to do? ... I'll give you a hint: she's named DIVAnia ... so yeah ... she went shopping (another convoluted way of explaining stuff on the character, namely that she picked up the bargaining skill ).

Also, that is the first time I've picked this skill since starting Sacred 2 again on account of preferring "real" skills that are usable directly in combat (and thinking I can find whatever objects I need with time) ... that being said, it is quite useful ... so useful that apparently Divania want to pick up the blacksmithing skill next ... more shinies in her armor and everything. I wonder how someone like her could dirty her hands with such menial work but okay ....

Divania: IT'S NOT BLACKSMITHING !!! dang !!! It is the most HOLY art of that divine human creation called .... FASHION !!!

Narrator: Okay, time for me to skedaddle ... her 'majesty' is in a mood again ;)
