User blog:FateAlbane/CasTrope Chaos - Pre Session 1

In the same vein as the ones I've been doing for JoaT, this will cover all tropes I can find for the Castle Chaos adventure, a narrative taking place in the World of Greifor (known by some as "the Geo-Ysustrata"). This story is a part of the EVOLVERSE.

(EDIT: Naturally, a great WIP.)

Pre-Session 1 - Who DARES battle with the Chaos knight?

 * Or "Our city needs more Monks and Trees."
 * Or "DM!Fate kinda lied about our tiering."

Elemental Powers - The several Auraments and many sorceries work through several shades of this. Each character can employ them for varying purposes, ranging from weaponizing them as energy attacks to increasing one's speed, defense, and so on.

Blow you Away - Wind is the Aurament wielded by Wu of the Cat's Eye, and incorporated in his martial arts style.

Green Thumb - Rickert the Strange One wields the Flora Aurament, using it to (among other things) grow trees, wield them as weapons or outright transform other things into trees.

Shout-Out - Done in meta to Fire Emblem's Black Knight (Zelgius), when Dragnar arrives.

[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PunchPunchPunchUhOh Punch! Punch! Punch! Uh Oh...] - Exaggerated and justified. The beginner class adventurers get a case of this when they launch several blows, swords, arrows and elemental powers against Dragnar... And the flurry of attacks doesn't make him even flinch. To make matters worse, they're immediately held right where they stand by his oppressive power, thus unable to retreat.

Charles Atlas Superpower - Wu has acquired his martial prowess and great control of Energeia after decades of intensive training and studying his deity - the Cat's Eye - in the mountains.

Knockback Slide - What happens to Wu of the Cat's eye after he and Dragnar collide the former's fist against the latter's hammer, having just unleashed several attacks against the man.

It has Only just Begun - Invoked by both the narrative and Dragnar himself in his "We will meet again" moment, after he ultimately decides to retreat by the combined efforts of Wu and Rickert.
