Crya goes to Q10 and casts Ice Stalagmites on Cinder 4.
Chibi Nia fires upon Floofknight 2, and retreats to T10.

Summa runs up to the Extinguisher, slashing up at him with all of her strength. Once she reaches the end of her swing, she throws an icestoolcle at his face, to ensure he's downed.

Using a bonus action, she picks up the Extinguisher, and retreats to R13, dropping the Extinguisher in R12.




Once Chara moves:

-Ette flings Bass to O10 to fire the dart trap, and then retreats down to support Chara if possible.

-Bass fires the poison trap south and then retreats back to N11 to try and not be in the way of all the incoming unpleasantness"

Nidra notes that she should be at I7. She Power Naps Boshi, then uses her basic attack on Morph1 and Bladedancer1.

Noticing the wave of Iti coming his way, Wyvern is overtaken by a burst of adrenaline. His assault begins with a burrito. As in, Wyvern noms the burrito. His pupils thin slightly, appearing more draconic as he Evolve Strains again. He darts to the other side of the Naclestial, O15, because flying entities don't care about your cute little grounded ZoCs. A flap of his wings send Wyvern up into the air, delivering a rising slash to the Naclestial, before flipping backwards in what seems like slow motion. Upon landing, Wyvern strafes backwards to M16, using Riposte, then letting out a ferocious screech that echoes through the battlefield, taunting anything nearby.

Brutishace once again holds his ground and casts Drain Life on the fourth Cinder, ensuring that the Brute will stay alive while he reaps the health benefits. He also drops an Specter Mine at the fourth Cinder's position, hoping that no hapless Chairians are around so he can detonate it the next time he can.

Battle Action: Thina - North Caravan

Thina starts off her turn by spending 60 DNA to evolve Lean Body for that extra fire resist. With her extra speed, she runs over to N11. Luckily an ally has vision on it.

Then she burns 10 HP for a boosted Unravel, targeting the shield generator which works on it, somehow, then arcing to SSpider1 for heals.

This is just the action. Other stuff to be edited in later, partly because I promised myself I would describe every mutation when / if it got used.

RP - Wilson - RE:Ire

(Note: This was edited. So it happens after Auth)

"No strawberries? Well, that has to be top priority. ... Hm."

Thinking for a while about whether he could artificially breed strawberries into existence in the few days he has, he almost gets left behind as Ette goes to the kitchen.

"Ah, wait up, so your both chefs?"

Running after Ette, he has to go quite fast for his short legs to make up the distance. Eventually, huffing, he makes it into the kitchen. These legs were not made for running long distances without fourth dimensional shenanigans.

"*Hah*, I could... use a cookie. Fill up on sugar, get fake sugar rushes, become screechier. *hah*... But... hm..."

There's someone already here. Three someones, and one chessboard, in fact. Seeing this, he feels that desire, the call from his Laiko side... the desire to be annoying. Ideas already running his head, he makes a 'shush' motion to Ette with his paw before crouching low to the ground, relying on his primal instincts for... messing up chess games. I'm sure that's what evolution designed them for.

That tall one seemed... very invested in the game being played correctly. And while he did know mostly how to play, it seemed there was more fun to be had... elsewhere. Sneaking up towards the table, Wilson quickly darts under it, the sidles over to the player Auth currently wasn't by, Maron, and whispers to her.

"Hey, don't look down or give me away please, but I see you're playing chess... Now... I've played a few games myself, so I could give you some very interesting strategies, like how you can castle your king if it's on the same row in the back as your rook. It will be fun."

Seeing as how the other shield Generator got put right where the previous one was, Laranei opens fire at it again twice if it's not dead yet!

If, however, it has already kicked the bucket, Laranei takes a step to the right, to J13, and shoots Scarlet2 at N9 twice! Fighting fire with... more fire.

-=+=-

Ziah ultimately decides to read up on the Church of Helix. It'll be an interesting discussion point at the very least, and a good way to find out a little bit about where the rest of the team is headed. Maybe even do some investigation of his own a little later. He takes the book downstairs, taking a seat on the couch and making himself comfortable as he begins to read.

-=+=-

Leaf can't help but giggle slightly at Nia's posing, before pausing.

Leaf: Well, I'm not really sure how I usually do it, but…

Leaf gently rubs the back of the widow, having it move around a little to prove her point.

Leaf: I think you just need to be gentle. Give it a small lean to go forward or back, maybe. Rub either side to turn in that direction.
Leaf: From what I know about these creatures, which isn't really a whole lot, they're kinda suggestible once tamed, even for someone who doesn't have the same control over creatures.
Leaf: I don't think this will be too hard for you. You're probably a natural~

Leaf pauses, before whispering something to Nia's spider, not in English.

Leaf: (Please allow her to move in unison with you. She'll be your commander.)

-=+=-

Leaf moves down to J6 on the WoolyMollyusk, dismounting it at J7, before gasping softly as she sees Maria.

Leaf: W-What's a girl doing here?

Not quite in reach, Leaf casts Toxic Plume on N5 to try and deal with some of the threats to her while other Spherebreakers come to her aid. The SplinterSpitter, meanwhile, simply fires a splinter towards the BladeDancer. It doesn't much care about children right now.

With the power of being very scared, Packo first scans the Betrayer next to him, and then teleports away from his position towards I5. Respecting what the Legion fighter did for him, he decides to only taunt SSpitter1.

Auth flies to R10, closes one eye, and points towards Lurejet 1. From there... Liberation is cast! Ka-blammo.

Auth then downs a Mana Vial, to recover his MP.

He looks towards the Scarlet...

uA: Who's who, if you don't mind my asking?

Auth looks down towards where the Scarlets were looking before.

uA: Chloe? Is that who you were looking for?
uA: I don't think she can hear you from here, rushing up to her would probably scare her.
uA: Since we're technically fighting. Slow up, maybe. Ask for an autograph from a safe distance, if that's what you want.

Auth shrugs. And hopes he won't get stabbed up by the Scarlet.

----

Auth has an extremely painful shock through his mind. Like something is extremely, extremely wrong. Like that time EN made that... "cake". But even worse.

Somebody is playing chess. Badly. Very badly. This must be fixed. Auth staggers away from... wherever his is, in extreme pain. And he goes to the house, where this existential pain is coming from. He bursts through the door, looking around, seeing Toast and Marron playing chess.

Badly.

uA: Stop! Stop! In god's name, stop!

Auth pants, tired and bleeding. He walks over to the board and corrects Marron's, and likely subsequently Toast's, placement of the pieces.

uA: Ahh... much better.

...The pain has subsided. For now. Auth is still going to hang around... just in case. Someone might need proper coaching in how to play the game.

Battle: The Caravan (North)

Rebel time! Irongutta is shocked by the sudden influx of Rebel reinforcements. He's even more surprised by the presence of a couple of the Rebels from the armory.

"Bah, lettin' you wooden worms go was a mistake!"

Though he didn't seem one bit deterred by their numbers. "But that little mistake don't count, 'coz you lot just made the biggest blunder of the rest of yer lives: fightin' the mob ya ran from a second time!"

For his action, he moves to J9. To prepare for the next round, he uses the last Yggcrawler Shield on himself and then casts Fury on Mari, spending an additional 7 MP to cast it on himself as well.

<ROUND ONE-HUNDRED SIXTY-NINE>
CHAOS: ni[c]e
BASS: nice
CHAOS: we should be friends
BASS: yes

...

Venia hallucinates for a little. Soon, she snaps back to attention, thanking Mari for her help. The scientist then helps the duchess back onto her feet.

MARI: Don't mention it.
MARI: Knowing how brutally efficient these groups usually are, we'll probably destroy the Caravan before she even gets near the field.

Of course, given future knowledge, this is horribly wrong. She then opts to make some purchases: 750 Credits are spent to obtain Chaos's Miraculous Dartboard, and the Infinite Basic Crafting Materials! This sets the Mindscape Buyback counter to 10,335 credits: 335 more than required!

CHAOS: eyyyyy
CHAOS: man [t]ha[t] [t]ook forever [t]o fill up
CHAOS: anyway [t]hank you for your kind dona[t]ions
CHAOS: now wa[t][c]h [t]his

Chaos pulls 10,000 Credits out from his pocket. He places them all in a gigantic bowl, pours a whole load of milk into the bowl, and an incredibly tiny spoon. Upon poking the credits with the spoon, the credits force themselves down Chaos's mouth enmasse! Once all of them are down his mouth, Chaos swallows, burps, and pulls out a phone.

CHAOS: hi yes i'm emailing [t]he money [t]o you now
CHAOS: yes you're wel[c]ome i'm amazing raised i[t] all myself
CHAOS: alright [c]ool [c]ool

Fanfare erupts from Chaos's head, and confetti rains down from the sky. He begins to [insert Fortnite dance here] around the room whilst also remaining completely still in fourth-dimensional space.

CHAOS: ladies and a[c][t]ually we're mos[t]ly ladies
CHAOS: we did [t]he do
CHAOS: i am ri[c]h
CHAOS: or more a[c][c]ura[t]ely
CHAOS: [t]he [t]emmies are ri[c]h
CHAOS: bu[t] i have finally paid off my ramen bill
CHAOS: and am a legal [c]i[t]izen in my own minds[c]ape again
CHAOS: doo[t] doo[t]

To celebrate, several interesting new offers have been added to the Temmie Shop! They're all free, so go and get them all!

CHAOS: anyway give me more money and i'll make you some... spaghe[t][t]i, or some[t]hing
CHAOS: i[t]'ll be grea[t] and probably not poisoned
CHAOS: poison doesn'[t] mesh wi[t]h [c]api[t]alism ex[c]ep[t] for elimina[t]ing [c]ompe[t]i[t]ors [c]us[t]omers

...It seems like there's another milestone to reach! This one probably won't be as impactful, but it's something to look forward to...? Anyway, Venia also goes shopping at the Triangle Emporium, spending 950 credits on Eterna Tea, Stardew Potions, and a Distress Beacon!

Venia also gets some work done in the Everground: although, this may need to wait for Mustache Girl's action! Ordering's a butt.

---

Echoss continues his harvests. First, he gets his minigolems to grab more Spider Bones, taking 40 from the Rosen Observation Outpost. The room's really looking more tidy now! He also sends another minigolem to go and thwack the Plasteel Vein in Zone 4. We say "whack", but he's really just threatening it into the inventory. 10 Plasteel harvested! He also loots more Deathcap Mushrooms, tossing the remaining 8 into the inventory.

Chloe also gears up for another harvesting trip: some Entrophies and some Entropic Biomass! She seems... hesitant, but buddies up with Echoss to go and gather the requested materials.

CHLOE: A-Are you sure this is safe?
CHLOE: Like, at all?
CHLOE: W-Whatever, i-it'll be fine...

The two of them return with 10 Entrophies, 26 Entropic Biomass, and 5 Roseblight Logs. Chloe seems... rather frightened.

CHLOE: S-So, I figured our best first step was to visit the Library, as maybe there's something we missed from the Rose Cult's party...
CHLOE: And there was actually this small area near where they were holding the main party, between some bookshelves n' stuff.

CHLOE: A book tried to kill me. Echoss killed the book. I killed another book.
CHLOE: And to make matters worse, I'm fairly certain someone was watching me!
CHLOE: If they were, they were certainly stealthy about it- neither Echoss or myself detected them...
CHLOE: I swear I saw a glint of metal...

...Ominous. Anyway, while Chloe's taking a moment to relax with a cup of coffee, Not!Echoss clones the Hammer of Banning +2 and the Snowball Storm. He then tosses Nia 40 Credits to upgrade both the Hammer of Banning +2 and the Snowball Storm!

---

Toast attempts to play Chess. Namely, she moves her rook right through her line of pawns. Marron interjects.

MARRON: Wait wait wait, you can't do that!
MARRON: Or... can you?
MARRON: I think it's either the horse of the castle who can go through other pieces.
MARRON: ...It's probably the castle: castles have gates to let things through, so maybe they can move through people because of that?
MARRON: Or maybe it's the horses, because... people like horses?

The puppeteer ponders this for a few moments. She's pretty legitimately confused.

MARRON: Yeah, the castle thing makes sense.
MARRON: However, you've walked right into range... of my pawn!

Marron's pawn moves diagonally onto Toast's Rook, a quick swish knocking the rook off the board. Marron is quick to catch the piece and place it near the side of the board before it rolls off of the table.

MARRON: Your move!

MARRON: ...Or, uh, you can take it back. If you want.
MARRON: It's your first time playing, so... I'll let you.

Elsewhere, the Author experiences a somewhat more powerful headache. This cannot stand. Also, Nettle crafts a Throwing Rock with 3 Cobblestone and 1 Clay.

---

Mustache Girl gives her Samples to Venia's Maid, then assaults a Gazyer! She then uses a Yggcrawler Blade and some Widow's Venom (both are consumed) to slash and poison the assaulting Iti, then uses a Jotun Arm to knock the Gazyer back into the fire! Venia's Maid then follows up with a barrage of machine gun fire which perforates the creature. Its remains burn up in the fire, but 8 Samples are still pulled from the body.

Threats cleared out! I mean, there's still a crazy Thyme Matter fire, but it seems like that'll go out sooner or later. Now to mine some metals...?

---

Arthur meets with Mari. While yes- he has ideas to save Maria, he can't really do much without his potions. Mari however, seems fascinated with his profession.

MARI: An actual alchemist? Cool.
MARI: Are we talking like... mix a bunch of random things in a pot to make something remarkable, or are we talking "lead into gold" sorta stuff here.
MARI: Or are we talking transmutation circles, conservation of mass, natural providence, automail, and the whole shebang?

MARI: ...I dunno.
MARI: I do technological science gorilla. Alchemy's another field entirely.

---

Auth attempts to fix heresy. He swaps the positions of Marron's king and queen, restoring order to the board. Marron blows up for a moment.

MARRON: H-Hey, what the gorilla!? You can't just go and gorilla with...

She simmers down just as fast as she exploded. She's still a bit angry, however.

MARRON: ...Oh. It's you.
MARRON: What, you don't want me to play with Toast?
MARRON: I bet you're not even good at this game.

A CHALLENGE. Or not really, but it's an affront to his honor! Maybe he can sneak in a game (and probably fools mate her) after she's done with Toast. For now though, he'll need to spectate this game, and pray that he doesn't die of brain hemorrhaging before it finishes.

---

Wilson follows Ette to the kitchen, asking if both Ette and her sister are both chefs. The puppet nods.

ETTE: (Yep!)
ETTE: (Marron taught me how to cook, too!)
ETTE: (Back at our house, she even had like, specialized tools that I could use with my puppet hands, too!)
ETTE: (We're both experts! I think.)
ETTE: (Sis is totally an expert, but I can't taste food so I don't know if I'm good or not.)

The two wander into the kitchen, and Wilson decides to give Marron a few tips, crawling below the table next to her. The puppeteer totally ignores his directions and stares at the fennec, a hint of malice in her eyes.

MARRON: Uh.
MARRON: Talking fox. Par for the course at this point, I guess.
MARRON: Anyway, I don't need an animal of all things telling me how to play this game.

She returns to playing Chess in a somewhat blatantly wrong way, until Ette interrupts.

ETTE: (Sis!)
ETTE: (That's Wilson. He's a cute fox.)
ETTE: (Can I make him some cookies?)
MARRON: Wait, you know this guy?
ETTE: (Yeah! He's a magical fox, and he's really cute!)
ETTE: (You and Toast can share, too!)
MARRON: ...I mean, as long as we get some, you can do what you want.
ETTE: (Yay!)

The puppet begins getting to work. As she begins to prepare her batter, she takes a moment to ask Wilson a question.

ETTE: (Mister Wilson!)
ETTE: (...Can I call you mister?)
ETTE: (Also, do you know how to cook? It'd be nice to have a helping hand!)

It fails to occur to Ette that Wilson's small size may make it hard for him to work in this kitchen.

---

Ziah reads up on the Church of Helix. Given that the book he's chosen is about construction, he ends up learning quite a deal about the layout of the Church of Helix. There's the main place of worship / church on the ground floor, but there's some staircases up to the side that lead to rafters above, and some staircases that'll take you to the top of either of the cathedral's two main towers.

In addition, he learns that there's a fairly standard basement just beneath the church... and a few secret passages that lead into some catacombs of a sort. The catacomb is rather large (but a bit linear), eventually culminating in a "secret" altar room deep beneath the earth. A scan of some blueprints held within reveal no secret passages to the surface, so the only way in and out is through the Church of Helix itself.

It might be a fun (and not at all haunted) place to explore! He feels like he could also take a closer look at the two towers, the basement itself, or perhaps just more about the construction of the main room. While he ponders what to study in-depth, Leaf gives Nia some tips on how to ride a spider. Be gentle. Also maybe she hacks the spider to be more obedient. Nia then manages to command her spider to march forward!

NIA: Aw yeah!

Nia joyrides around in circles.

NIA: This is the life!
NIA: The spider life!
NIA: Who needs easily crashable cars when you can ride spiders up walls?
NIA: Speaking of that...

Nia attempts to ride her spider across the side of the Old Pass. This has moderate success, up until Nia's legs get weak from clinging onto the spider and she falls off into a pile of snow. Her spider follows her, and tosses her back upon its back. Nia pops out of the snow, and from what Leaf can tell, she only has a bit of bruising.

NIA: Okay, maybe no riding sideways yet!
NIA: Or can we even do that? Can you do that?
NIA: The Chairians can do that. I've seen them. It's really cool.

Next thing we know, Nia's going to try to learn and kickflip a spider. Can Leaf kickflip a spider? This is an important question that Nia should ask.

[hr<THE CARAVAN, ROUND FOUR>
North: You've lost Mari, but that's probably the least of your concerns- the approaching Scarlets and Mechonis will be a massive pain unless you devise a way of dealing with them! Also, with both Shield Generators destroyed, your new objective is to simply hold off the Rebels, and prevent them from running off with your Glyph. This mostly boils down to "not getting TPK'd". Good luck!

Center: Actually, things here are going pretty well, save for the southeast corner. There's also a chance the Spiralfloof Knights may begin assaulting you soon, so prepare for that! For now though, they'll probably keep bombarding the Husk until they realize that it's a hopeless task. As a smaller concern, Maria's been nipped for (3) damage, so somebody may want to comfort her. it's a tragedy

South: ...Two Salt Wyverns. Those are by FAR the largest threats on the map at the moment. Failure to neutralize them via stun or simply killing them may prove lethal. Fortunately though, they still have the Salty AI, so maybe you could bait them into attacking people who are likely to survive their attacks? Good luck!

Speedrun battle action for round 169:

The proxy Verdana disappears, the real one quickly slamming down onto the tile where he was at, which is just flavor thing. Verdana then sprints to Q3.

"Maria, this is... really not a safe place for you to be! Just stay behind cover, or close to one of us, okay? Miss Venia would be upset if... something bad happened, so..."

Dialogue format dump zone

Small book keeping notice, but Chloe's middle slot began a 6 round cooldown last round thanks to the request from Ziah and is not currently listed as such, which should probably be fixed when you can


BATTEL:
Echoss turns to the Scarlet
"Thank you for your assistance, Madam. I assume that this is a bit redundant to ask but if you can help keep Miss Elem" he nods to Chloe "safe until the tranquilizer wears off it would be greatly appreciated."
Echoss turns around, but then abruptly has an idea. Thanks to talking being a free action her turns back to the Scarlet.
"...Actually, would it perhaps be possible for us to make a truce? I realize that both our parties are after the Glyph within the Caravan but there may be a problem further South."
Echoss points towards the Central group, specifically at The Husk. "You see that individual? They are what we call The Husk. Once upon a time they were known as The Sleuth, a figure I would assume you are aware of. They've been... taken over so to speak by the same entity hiding at the center of the Sphere. If The Husk takes the Glypth NONE of us will be able to retrieve it.
I'm aware that this encounter did not start under amicable circumstances, but to our defense our previous encounters with the Rebellion have involved... well, no small amount of having to prevent unnecessary deaths. We weren't certain if we could trust the incoming 'air strike' to discriminate between those who could be shot without consequence and what would just be needless tragedy.
If you need a guarentee, me and the others will refrain from attacking anyone who shows us no hostility if you promise to do the same. Your medic back there can verify that we'd much rather settle things peacefully, as they AND THE TWO EVISCERATORS" Echoss glares at the Eviscerators, particularly Eviscerator one. It is quite a scary glare. "were allowed to retreat peacefully with their wounds healed after our scuffe in the information center."
"I think I've talked a bit too much for right now, but there's more information we can probably give you should we be able to talk things out."

If the Scarlet agrees to try and call a truce with the others, Echoss sends butterflies down to land on the shoulders of the others in the North battle, informing them not to target any Rebels that agree to the ceasefire.


Post-RP Action:
After talking with the Scarlet, Echoss has his splinter spider move down to S16 and basic attack the ranger.
Then the Chibi Nia moves down to Q16 and snipe the Ranger.
Echoss launches a quip at the Ranger before acting for himself
"It is quite entertaining, for how high and mighty you two act neither of you are particularly skilled at... well I would say combat but 'anything' seems to be a tad more appropriate."
Echoss then proceeds to do one of two things

If the Chairian Ranger is at or below full health:
Echoss moves to R16 and flings the Lightning Strikers right at the Ranger, then turns around and basic attacks the Floof Knight.

If the Chairian Ranger is above full health:
Echoss moves to P16 and uses his weapon skill to fire the Lightning Strikes at the Ranger.


Mari asked to hunker down, self heal and prep for trying to not die again.
Chloe and Nia asked to help clean up the idiots Floof Knights


Overworld actions:
Echoss's minigolem foregoes actually having an interesting action and just headbutts the rest of the plasteel vein into submission.

Meanwhile the one in the observatory continues clearing bones, and looks at Bass expectantly. Even with time shenanigans, he'll probably miss the caravan if he doesn't head out soon.

Additionally, the last two haloblooms in the little patch are gathered. I believe this expends empty bottles as per someone else's collection notice.

Echoss also auto-crafts a mana vial.


If Tazz's attempt to grab samples this round goes through, Echoss accompanies Chloe.
I mean, Echoss accompanying Chloe is just going to be an ongoing thing but unless you're fine with me stopping I'm just going to keep listing it for your convenience Ire.


(Note: checkon nana next round)

Nettle's name on my character sheet becomes Nettle Moroides.

~~

Toast thinks for a moment, before shaking her head.

"No no, I wanna play this properly. Since you took my piece, you get to go again right?"

~~

Brutishace acts before Nettle.

Nettle moves to R10, uses Yggdrasil's Vessel twice, then pulls the Brute corpse to O9 with Overgrowth, before using Nettle Burst on it. It's wrapped up in thorny vines, before being pulled underground- but not before sending off a burst of poisonous thorns in every direction. The single-target ping nabs Brute3. This also summons a Dream Brute.

Meat:

After chatting online with some very very interesting people for a whole hour, Chara does this very very unwise thing where they (not even bothering to roll the die) retroactively move to S15 and shank Morph2, thanking the power of being a semiROB.

Das ist alles.

---panic---

(tl;dr action:
Bow Kid asks Verdana to attempt to persuade Maria into getting Cushion to sprint as far West as possible.
Boshi drinks a Yggdrasil's Vessel. Depending on what happens above:
-If the persuasion is successful, Boshi moves to (E6) and Phase Shifts with Maria and Cushion.
-If the persuasion is unsuccessful, Boshi moves to (J5) and waits for Maria and Cushion to enter within Range 1-5 of him before he Phase Shifts with the two.)

Bow Kid can only look onward with horror from the side of the mountain as Maria descends from the heavens.

Directly onto a battlefield.

And subsequently screaming in pain.

From a monster that rivals even the Snatcher in power.
Maybe even surpasses him.

All the while not prepared to fight anything.

She was lucky to have that Spiralfloof on her side. Otherwise she'd be mincemeat.

But what could she do? She didn't want to lose a person she just met! And the others would undoubtedly be sad too!

And Bow Kid herself also wasn't prepared for battle, so there's no reason to play the hero...

So she does one of the only things she can do. She pulls out what appears to be a walkie-talkie. For some reason, Verdana also has one on his person. Or maybe it's a communication device capable of interfacing with Bow Kid's. Nevertheless, she speaks through it.

"Hi. Bow Kid here! You're close to Maria, right? Do you think you can tell her to head to the gate and get as close to it as she can? Oh, and, tell her a friend of hers told you, and is gonna meet her over there. Over~"

This is, of course, a not-so-subtle suggestion for Verdana to order Maria to order Cushion to sprint as far West/Left as they can, over to the Western Spawn Point, where the Gate supposedly is. Her job done, Bow Kid herself proceeds to parkour over to the other side, using trees and high rubble to get there without disrupting the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Boshi continues to look onward... but by looking at Maria, he wonders if he should be spending more time with Sophia and the other kids, to prevent something like this from happening again...

...But first things first... he glances at the remaining legion, a determined look in his eyes to those that could see them. "(Listen, I don't care about you sorry saps anymore. I'm not letting that kid die on us.)"

Boshi takes a swig of Yggdrasil's Vessel to get juuust enough MP for a Phase Shift.

Assuming Maria listens to Verdana, once she moves, Boshi moves to (E6) and Phase Shifts with Maria and Cushion!

If not, Boshi moves as far North-East as possible ((J5), due to ZoC) and, if Maria enters within Range 5 of him at any point, Phase Shifts with her and Cushion, beckoning to Maria to follow him.

---designing...---

Sophia continues to design her robot. Nothing much else to say there, except there's a bunch of scattered crumpled-up papers lying around the floor...

---back to the mines---

MU crosses her arms defensively as Venia suggests that she was just another child. "Um, hellooo? Did you not just see me then? I'm very capable of handling myself, thank you."

"This wasn't even me at my best! I turned a whole planet into a fireball once. Long story about that one."

She relaxes and lowers her arms a bit, before sighing. "...But yeah, I get it. That was too reckless. Sorry."

Venia then suggests that they breach the dam. She stares at the Maid blankly. "...Seriously? You want to flood this place with water from a lake filled with red fish that want nothing more than to rip us apart."

"And I thought I was careless... but, whatever. Do what you want. I'm gonna fix myself up... somewhere out of the way. Took a small beating from a monster that looked like a wind chime."

"Anyway, be down there later!"

MU climbs back up the Iron Chain, but only about halfway. She then swings on the chain over to (I107), landing soundly on the cliff.

She then slathers her wounds with a unit of Red Sap, and applies a bandage made from one Spider Silk Spool and slathered with Green Sap. Then she basically waits the rest of the turn for her wounds to heal.

Keiko moves to H12 and revives Mari, placing a Power Vent below her and cover at H11.

Nidra Power Naps Leaf. She then basic attacks Morph1 again, as well as the BlizRobe.

The Southern Battle

Well then I hope my teammates can deal with the Salt Wyverns and Naclestial... Anyways!

Daskter quickly brings out a scanner to scan the Saltling turned SaltWyvern

A Mortar shell lands at J12 showering the surrounding Iti with shrapnels and explosives.

The Conscript Squad simply focus fire on the designated hit list Cinder6.
