No way. If Nyxia is kidnapped, then Jonathan will start beating himself up and go off searching for her even if he has to ditch the whole group. Hell, Obyriths, they don't mean a thing to him if Nyxia was in danger.
Should the Obyrith arc be before or after the Nymph arc? Originally it was supposed to be before.
I made a mistake in this quote. I want the Obyrith arc to be
AFTER the Nymph arc. At the end of the Obyrith arc Jonathan will gain full control of his Master powers, so that might enable him to take down Malcolm too easily if the Nymph arc happens after that. And don't forget, I have things planned with Faustus, the Master of Death.
Hm... Let me see... I suggest the following:
We finish up with the Morte arc. The group departs for the Kingdom of Darkness, planning to celebrate the victory once they get back; Jonathan invites Catyrael and the other Angels along in an attempt to ease tensions between Light and Darkness.
Midway through the journey, the group receives a report concerning an escaped Obyrith. Jonathan, Catyrael, and some other people takes a detour to go investigate, while Nyxia and the other group goes back to Umbrios.
We find that Obyrith, and kill it, but the Obyrith arc doesn't officially start yet. Malcolm kidnaps Nyxia. Jonathan senses that, and goes berserk. The group then proceeds to go find Nyxia, and they meet Faustus along the way, and possibly Sekhor, Mordekai and Alex. Nyxia is rescued.
Then, Malcolm goes to the Abyss himself, and frees the rest of the Obyriths; he will be their "external assistance". The Obyrith arc officially begins.
Is the workable?
