Unicorn Poll: The Onyx Champion

Post a reply

Should the Unicorn accept the Onyx Champion's deal?

Poll ended at Wed May 10, 2017 7:15 pm

Yes. The Unicorn will send a large portion of their forces back out into the desert to rescue Shinjo, eventually returning with her to the Empire just as things reach their darkest. In return, the Onyx Champion will amass a sizable army of undead Unicorn.

Yes. The Unicorn will make preparations for freeing Shinjo, which will include working with the other Clans to rediscover the ability to cast elemental magic. Though they will not be able to free Shinjo due to other matters taking precedence, the preparations will be of significant importance in the coming future. The Onyx Champion will amass a sizeable army of undead Unicorn.

Yes. The Kolat will subvert the gained information, however, and they will keep Shinjo's location a secret in order to ensure that she does not interfere with their plans. The Kolat will gain increased influence within the Unicorn, while the Onyx Champion will amass a sizable army of undead Unicorn.
5
10%
No. The Unicorn will lure the Onyx Champion into an ambush and kill him. The Unicorn will claim his weapon, the Hammer of Ruin, for their own and will give the weapon to their Champion as a trophy. Its corruptive influence will eventually overwhelm her, transforming her into one of the Lost.

6%
No. The Unicorn will lure the Onyx Champion into an ambush, but it will fail to kill him. Upon his return to the Shadowlands, Kiyoshi will return Tareef no Oni to the world and infuse her with dark power, creating a new Oni Lord... one that is obsessed with the ruin of the Unicorn Clan.
8
16%
No. The Unicorn will refuse to have anything to do with the Onyx Champion. Shinjo will be corrupted by the Lying Darkness and will, in time, supplant Goju Adorai as the avatar of nothingness.

Mei's gotta vote Kolat.

Though it is odd that Kolat would agree to helping Shadowlands. It was always a common enemy for the Kolat to hate the Taint just like normal Rokugani...

I don't think they'll be helping them.

I read it as they see Shinjo as just as much of a threat as the Shadowlands and decided to call it a wash, just with the Onyx champion gaining some strength in return.

Adorai still has a face.

And Shinjo's a goddess! Hopefully she'd keep hers.

But it was a very very tough choice. Rescuing Shinjo was tempting too, despite all the undead ponies.

Considering what's going on with the Hiruma...powering up the Lying Darkness doesn't seem like a way to secure that either. :lol:

So very disappointed.


To be fair, there is exactly one option that doesn't involve being suborned by the Shadowlands in some way... and that one feeds a Kami to the Nothing. If Taira has got himself into a position where Fate determines he's gonna be disappointed regardless of what happens... well, fate's like that. :lol:


The player knows.

Taira doesn't.

I hate the way it was handled in canon, but I have faith that MS could do any storyline justice.
