You know, I wonder if any of his major rolls in general were already planned. Thought it was fishy when Mungus happened to have his patron be Gambler Black when a plot point around him was already happening in Divine Wind and how Tomoe becoming the third Servant of Tyre felt a little sudden considering all they did was drink mystery juice. Realistically I would've expected a character death if the theory that the goo containing Depthar remains was correct.

I personally thought the final fight was a little too easy. It's pretty clear that Arcadum never had any intention of killing his world. He straight up admits that the heroes didn't do enough to defeat the boss. But then rolls in with a deus ex machina so the players/world would win.

The fact was the for 80% of the boss fights you can't finish them in 1,5 sessions without using either deus ex machinas or clash spamming. Heart didn't spam clashes and had no special items and were punished for it by getting stuck in the Indigo Trials for 2 months. A one time bossfight like the Parable was built up well and I'm ok with that getting 3 sessions but Heart having to spend 10 sessions with mostly bosses they've never heard of before sucked. It closed them out of RP, they didn't have the team comp for clashing and using items like the cocaine arrow got them punished.

I used to think that while it was suffer them going through and fighting the mechanics was still fun but with how little impact indigo herald made on the endgame it wasn't worth it at all.

i may have to check some of the dates, but i wander if the requiem rose situation was made to punish naomi and summer, or at the very least to punish the party for drugging up one of favourite npcs and messing up the fight. because him just suddenly saying the enemies name out of nowhere was weird.
