Perpetua 06: The Flames of Burzin Pt 02


Listen Later

Hexcloak justiciar Caoimhe Wake and her two ad hoc assistant investigators, Antistrophe Landrace and Brontë Adelvys, have their work cut out for them. First and foremost, there’s the matter of these strange, flaming creatures attacking a traveling Lobble and his stagecoach full of supplies. And then there’s there’s the matter of Burzin, the small desert township on the horizon. After generations of simplicity and stability, the town has faced a sudden wave of inexplicable destruction as a phenomenon that can only be described as “invisible fire” has razed much of the town to ash. Will Caoimhe, Antistrophe, and Brontë find who—or what—is behind the blaze? Or will what remains of Burzin soon be burned away?

This week on Perpetua: The Flames of Burzin Pt. 2 

Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.02]

NPCs & Monsters [PNMS]

Flarie [NMFLR]

Typical Traits: Curious, Fickle, Scornful, Superior  Stats: DEX 8, INS 10, MIG 6, WLP 8 Attacks: Flame Dart Special Abilities: Flying, Crisis: Wildfire In-Game Description: A devious flying flame, vaguely int he shape of a fairy.

Flaries are cute, but they’re also dangerous, especially early on! They’re ranged attackers who hover just out of melee reach, so you’ll need to either hit crit them or get them down to half health with ranged or magic attacks, or hit their elemental weakness. And remember, Perpetua doesn’t have water magic for some reason, and Fire often Melts Ice! Any guesses on what that leaves as a natural vulnerability? That’s right: EARTH. Toss some dirt on these little jerks and you’ll bring ‘em down to ground level.

Starter Tip: Get ready to heal once you knock them into crisis! Their Wildfire move is devastating!

Embear [NMEMB]

Typical Traits: Pround, Hungry, Scorching, Territorial Stats: DEX 8, INS 8, MIG 10, WLP 6 Attacks: Flame Claw Special Abilities: Burn Back (Reaction) In-Game Description: A large, ursine figure of fire looking for something to eat.

These guys are the brawn to the Flaries’... well, not quite brains, but fla(i)r, I guess? At the start of the game, they really pack a wallop, so try to keep your weaker characters away from their Flame Claw strikes. I wonder what type of bear they’re supposed to be? Do any bears really live in the dessert??? 

Starter Tip: At first blush, their Burn Back reaction attack seems totally broken. But remember, it only hits melee attackers!

Aisling Revanj (she/her) [NMAR]

Traits: Ambitious, Mean Spirited, Envious, Loyal Stats: ??? Attacks: ??? Spells: ??? In-Game Descriptions: Fiery Hexcloak who oversees Burzin and the surrounding region.

When I first saw concept art of her during previous, I thought she’d be one of my favorite characters, but it turns out that she’s an ABSOLUTE B**!  She’s so superior and “holier-than-thou,” if that’s the right phrase. And it’s not like she solves ANYTHING, she’s just always getting int he way. I cannot WAIT to fight her later on in the game.

Starter Tip: You can basically button through all of her dialog, she doesn’t say anything important IMO!
