Think that's enough reserves?!
o_O
Anyway my thread has gone well. I tried to keep to the theme while also going off on my own direction (I'm particularly proud of the "bonus round" section).
I'll add a few notes here as I flip through your thread to see how you've changed this new one:
-good change to the naragi story portion that both parties aren't necessarily
equally
to blame. I feel like the two separate naragi perspectives are symbolic here to the playerbase being divided on their opinion of him.
"Saradomin: I sought to make amends
,
when the beast [Tuska] and the hunter [Skargaroth] brought violence of their own."
I see that as evidence towards my theory that Saradomin was
first
trying to make amends (possibly with the diplomatic subfaction of the naragi camp?),
then
Tuska attacked him. The comma is very important.
""The only chance the Naragi have is to lead Tuska and her airut to Saradomin, inciting a battle between the two factions. With luck, they will kill each other. Regardless, we will take advantage of their battle."
This part of the journal fortifies previous evidence in suggesting the Naragi were oblivious or unknowledgeable about Saradomin changing and fighting to try and save them from Tuska. "
Or
that the diplomatic group had already left the camp
to go talk with Saradomin.
They aren't mentioned again, so they definitely went
somewhere.
Saradomin blasts the player aside with magic and takes the wand himself.
I'm still convinced, watching the cutscene, that "Saradomin blasts at the player with magic, causing him to fall backwards to avoid it, dropping the wand in the process, which Saradomin telegrabs." We never see that magic hit, compared to BoL where we see it hit, Zamorak goes
"blargh"
and falls over.
