"Oh, jeez get off me get off me get off me!"

Brutishace tries pulling the Hound off of him and backpedaling towards G19, using his Retreat move to get out of the Hound's AOC and towards his teammates.

"Sorry for dragging, but I can't handle people in this range!"

The Artist uses Mirror Image again, creating another him at D19, having Artist Clone 2 (or to save some text, Art Copy 2) move over to D17 to cut down the Chairian Brute. Artist Clone 1 (or ArtCopy 1) moves to F18 and casts Roulette Crasher on the Breaker.

Shizuki moves to G23 and shoots Hound5.
If Hound5 is also dead, she moves to I23 and shoots Hound4.
If Hound4 is also dead, she sprints to L21.

I shall do the fast today.

EN waltzes over to C17, then checks something. Is Swirl2 or Carrion2 still alive? If so, she Demolishing Punches whichever one has more health just so they won't be a problem. If not, she uses her action to free the Chairian Brute.

<ROUND TWENTY-FIVE>
Destiny, seeing the Author's precarious situation, rushes in and slaughters the Sentences attempting to strangle the Author. Bursts of crimson mist- not blood, but perhaps some sort of energy, fly out of the nooses, dispersing into the air. Auth hits the water beneath him, and swims to the shore, not too worse for wear other than a few bruises and some rope-marks around his neck. They don't have time to say much as a shriek ripples through the air which makes the bodies in the trees sway.

Bursting down from the everpresent canopy is a bird of sorts; more similar to a crow than anything. It's rather large and slender, with a multitude of piercing purple eyes dotted about its face. It's beak rips open with that unearthly shriek once more, splitting into four prongs, torrents of spittle flying out towards the duo. It spreads its wings out wide- massive gliders made of feathers. From them hang several coils of feathers, shaped into nooses. With a flick of the wings, a Chairian caught in one of its loops flies towards the duo. It's neck hasn't been crushed- it's been properly snapped this time.

For but a moment, it silently judges the two in front of it. With a jolt, it screams into the sky. Out of the Forest of Departure comes the same crimson mist that came from the Author's nooses. The mist flows into the creature's maw, its feathers flaring up with energy. Several of its nooses shed from its wings, off to the ground, snaking and quivering around both Destiny and the Author.

The Death Sentence



Boshi meanwhile, carries on down the river. Using 4 whole Cinderfruit (obtaining one whole heartburn in the process), he fires a salvo of fireballs at the Hounds, eventually blasting them straight at the pointed rock spires. With no opposition, Boshi gathers the titanium in one of the rocks (7 units), cuts down the Silkweed (16 bundles), and then goes ashore to press onwards. Then, he arrives at the edge of a massive lake! A lake that has a gigantic Iti within it- some sort of serpent? There's also some excessive amount of Iti here. It'd be prudent to run like hell... or maybe get a scan in. Odds are, you won't get its stats, but maybe some handy information on it?

JOE then gets Robot #3835 to go and scout to the south of the Fortified Cavern, and finds a whole load of uninteresting, generic forests. He then calls upon another robot, and... wait, where are these robots even coming from, anyway? They're probably being airdropped in, right? Who knows? Anyway, he gets them to bubble the area in some sound-proof field before using the Heavy Iron Door and 2 Iron Ingots to improve the door. This still somehow increases the sound by 10%.

...JOE then wins the right to rename the zone, due to having performed so much work there! It's not really a Fortified Cavern, as much as it is something else now.

<FOREST OF DEPARTURE, ROUND FOUR>
Nothing too much to note here, other than that your time to save the Chairians is dropping ever-so-slowly! Saving the Chairians now will make the players in the Hanging Gardens battle have an easier time hitting the Gallow, so try and aid them there if at all possible! Other than that, keep going! Also maybe heal Shizuki, who got mauled by Hounds who were on their way to Teag.

<HANGING GARDENS, ROUND ONE>
Welcome to the Gallow! I'd suggest doing something about those summons at the moment; you can't really harm the Gallows too well at the moment thanks to its significant DGE granted from its trait! Be wary about the Shallow Water tiles, as the Swirls in the area would be more than happy to abuse your elemental weaknesses. Also note that since the Forest's battle processes before this one, Chairians freed will immediately drop the Gallow's stats.

Boshi just stares blankly at the eliti in the lake as the river takes them back to the main area, likely disappointed that they came all this way, just to see a serpent, with no grand treasure or nothing.

Hat Kid decides to get a quick scan on the serpentine thing before they sail back to the Dock. She seems pleased to have gotten the Silkweed, though.

---

Upon returning to the Peaceful Riverbank, Boshi takes a quick whiff of the air.

"(...Smells like death... better hurry up with this dam.)"

Boshi proceeds to create a gigantic axe out of 3 Titanium and a Uniform Log, and proceeds to cut down as many trees as possible - preferably the bigger and more dense ones - near the area, carrying them to the river, and shoving them into it to directly impede the water flow to the Hanging Gardens battle (from either direction), instead directing it to JOE's garden directly south. Hat Kid then equips another of her badges. She points her Umbrella towards the new direction (next to the garden), and appears to be charging a laser of some kind. She fires the laser, cutting a path for the river to flow towards.

---

They then actually head into the Hanging Gardens battle at (K12). Hat Kid whistles out to... some random part of the forest. Out comes a beefy, stupid-looking man, who looks like he's part of a horrible Italian restaurant. He appears at (L11).

I'd like to nerf Bounce() to 5 MM. Also, Reach will now only give +1 Range for Cones, or similar effects, and the bracketed bonus will not affect this.

(Teag's action is moved up before mine.)

[Simple] Toast moves to G27 and teleports to H15 using the spawn point. She then uses Ignite Blood on Emerald, activating Bounce() Augment to bounce the flame onto Hound1.
Control of the Will o' Wisp is passed over to Crys/The Voice.

[Flavour] Toast moves to G27.
"Hey Chloe, I'm gonna teleport up to the others with the beacon my wisp placed. Stay safe, alright?"
She teleports up to H15, then invokes her language of sorcery!
"Masith Setho Teth-Kara n Ralik Ah'stin!"
Ignite Blood is cast with Bounce() Augment! A bolt of flame leaps from Toast's fingertips, striking Emerald, before reversing direction to hit Hound1. Both become surrounded in a faint of aura of heat.

I'm not Crystal/the Voice but just in case, the Wisp moves to L13 and fires north.

Mr. Krabs specs into Stylish, glorious Stylish, just before he bashes the Raider with the claws to its presumable death by chilliness.

Artist Clone 2 moves to F21 and casts Roulette Crasher on the Sentence 2.

The Real Artist talks with the Chairian Brite "We found you fellow soldiers, two other's, from what I hear, we found two others, a Fighter and Lancer. We will help free the other Chairians." And with that, the Real Artist moves to B16, destroying the Corpse to allow him to move there.

Artist Clone 1 uses the Spawn Point to teleport to G15 and Casts Roulette Crasher on the Breaker.

JOE clarifys that all Trion soldiers so far, ROBOTS brand or otherwise, have been dropping through a Trion gate the size of a human fist, located in the bunkers center. the soldier capsule then opens, creating the soldiers physical form, and then they walk wherever I want and do whatever.
JOE then senses an opportunity to get some free trion, somehow. He spawns in the hanging garden on G12, and if the Grand Tree counts as a tile, uses Terraform to poof it out of existence and Deforests F10, H8, and 12F (Replacing them with mana wells.).
If G.tree is not a tile, then he moves to 10D and Whacks the nearest sentence with his shield, killing it for sure due to its -2 AC and me being in range 1 means it has 0 DGE. he then retreats to D9 so as to not be in range 1 of a forest.
As for out of battle events, while he waits for the enemy turn to happen, he ponders what to rename the fortified cavern to, since its not much of a cavern any more. it is fortified though, he made sure of That..
Hm... how about The Amazing Ultimate Incredible Garden That Everyone Should Use All Their Out-of-battle Actions On So We Can Get Tons More Crafting Materials And Be Awesome?... No, too on the nose, nobody'd use it... probably Fortified Farm or something for the alliterative-ness.
Meanwhile, A few more claw droids drop through the earlier-mentioned rift. walking over to the set, they see small pieces of the other droids near the goop.
NoooooooThey're just going to, um, uh, go over there, yeah they weren't planning to attack the goop, noooooooooooooooooo.
Having arrived from the bunker, they can't go back there or it'll be suspicious, so they quickly and nervously scuttle north, ending up at the Untamed woods. shrugging, they decide to tear a bunch of vines off the trees, as many as they can with their huge claws. in fact, if their claws weren't Thymecursed... and whoever made them had had a budget about 4 times larger to make their claws actually powerful, Thymecursed or no... Then they'd even be willing to uproot a few trees with the vines still on them. their claws, however, have only like, 3x the strength of a normal human's hands at most. so they just harvest vines, without the tree they are perched on. Vines get! Vines For JOE to use specifically Get! woo!
[JOE also attempts to claim one unit of each of the following items and requests they not be used until further notice:]
[Silkweed bundle]
[empty chest]
[Lumipod]
[Cinderfruit]
[Celefruit]
[holy dew]
[and the fruit/vegetable seeds located within the packed lunch, if such can be separated from the rest of the stuff]

Realizes someone decided to help the garden [darkside]
spends an hour partying [i]
[i] notes that the water will probably take a short while for the water to finish carving a new river path into the ground there and that until that happens unaided (or, more likely, a player helps it along), it'll probably result in more flow east
notes that the main reason I mention this is because I'm already doing multiple actions that I don't want to interrupt and if I didn't ire might interpret the result as being a giant wave of water slamming into the thing which I don't want

The Man moves to E24, and just sorta punches Sentence numero dos to death. And retreats to G24 in case it's actually still alive.

Irongutta moves to L12 after Carrion 4 dies. He then attacks Carrion 1 with a basic attack that is boosted by Unstoppable Force (20%, +2 Armorpierce) because he moved 5 spaces!
