July2025 Patron Only Poll

This is the Patron Only Poll for July!    Here we go! (YES, I’m happy to be mostly done with ATP, why do you ask?!)

King of Champions – HP/RWBY crossover: The chaos of two sides almost accidentally bringing their full forces to bear at one another continues in the city as Arturia and the RY siblings are ambushed.  This ambush soon proves deadly as a madman with a horrific semblance and a penchant for poison makes himself known, leaving Ruby to hold the line until help arrives unlooked for in the form of Weiss and their other friends.  Mercury is outed in no uncertain terms as Tyrian is brought to bay, while the chaos here and elsewhere become known to Ozpin and the powers that be.  An overt response occurs as a running fight comes out of the less inhabited area of the city, letting Cinder escape, much to Harry’s fury.  That fury leads to further confrontations afterward with both Ozpin and Ironwood, stopped by the injuries sustained by his sister and friends. With her forces battered, and Roman and Neo both missing, Cinder is forced to report the near-total disaster to find that information is it’s own reward. Infighting breaks out as Roman and Neo make a break for freedom while Adam tries to force Cinder to follow him, only for one group to come away happy.  Regardless, plans continue, and as everyone is winding down, assuming the action has past, Adam’s own plans for Blake and Wiess come to fruition.

Climbing Together – Ranma/Street Fighter/King of Fighters crossover: A chance to win an all you can eat competition brings Ranma into semi-friendly conflict with a pair of martial artists who use Yin energy in a way that he and his lovers haven’t run into before and truly believe in the phrase ‘anything goes’.  Later that same night, Mai becomes the target of yet another pair who use Yin energy, only this pair isn’t nearly as friendly, resulting in a drag out fight throughout the town that wrecks a shrine, much to the chagrin of the spirit within… and the people who have been praying there.  This shock isn’t nearly the last, as the spirit in question throws Ranma into his Neko-Ken form, although calming him down proves astonishingly easy thanks to Shampoo and Mai’s relationship with him.  After turning over the two antagonists to the authorities, turning down several offers, and helping to repair the damage, the trio are off once more.  The next time they put into port is in the city of Zhanjiang, where they find a wrinkled prune waiting for them.  Serious training talks are had, some information shared, and mistakes corrected before a blind stalker interrupts the proceedings. Shampoo, having had just about enough of this, deals with this issue in a truly Amazonian manner, during which Cologne convinces the group to stay and train with her for a time before heading not to the main city of Hainan, but to a smaller island, the better for further training.

Death’s Avenger – HP/Warcraft crossover: Tyrande Whisperwind runs into trouble on her voyage, discovering that the waters around Kalimdor hold more threats than just the leviathan that found itself on the wrong end of ‘Harry’s blade of poisonous doom’.  This proves more of a problem for her enemies than her, but is soon followed by the problems of being on Northrend at all, and various arguments, while Harry and his little group continue their way south, following the shoreline, if at a distance, for now.  While dealing with earthquakes by the simple expedient of being in the air, the group comes into conflict with still more harpies, monsters, and the first truly mean-spirited group of Tauren Harry has encountered yet, with Recca’s presence meaning that dialogue is not an option.  After proving that magic is great for dealing with conflict resolution, the group continue, coming within sight of the source of Harry’s visions, and a conflict with the denizens of the area, who quickly prove to be a real threat to not just Harry, but also Versera.  Quickly forced to retreat, Harry and his team of three rest, recover, and go to war with the very elements.  

Hmm… I don’t know which of these I would vote for, somewhat similar to the Ranma poll which will be up shortly.  Regardless, King of Champions will be getting the carry-over effect of 714. 

I will also remind people that I did say I would like to put DA on hold for a few months to do some long term planning/outlining, make certain I have the world building and so forth going the direction I want it to.  However, I will wait to do that until after the current arc is over.
