Auth places his hand to his neck, after an extreme coughing fit. He feels a bruise in the shape of the braid of the noose around it. Then, he turns to look at the gallows, and smiles. A malevolent smile.

uA: Ah... hah, hah, hah. So, I see you're the one who's been hanging Chairians. Ah, hah, hah. I hope that you are prepared for your own sentencing.[/b]

Auth flips a distance backwards, all the way over to H11, choosing to keep-away from the enemies. He's had enough to do with hangings for... a lifetime. A small laugh, before a quiet, melodic murmur from Auth.

[b]uA: You've had your way, now you must pay... And I'm glad, you're sorry now. Or at least, you're going to be.

"Take this!"

Brutishace knocks the second Carrion off him with his Serpentine Pistol, backs up to E19, and fires a hastily-aimed shot at the second Carrion.

"EN, please move out of the way. There is a bomb next to you."

After EN moves, Simeon moves to H21, and shoots a bomb at Hound 6.

"Hang on."

"...Huh, what?"

EN obviously wasn't paying much attention. After a moment, she sprints to F16 via the E19->F18 route since she can do that if sprint really does grant x2 move speed, then searches for a random Iti in range of her weapon to fire on. If there is one, she shoots it. If there ain't, she just... guards.

<ROUND TWENTY-SIX>
Boshi stares at the gigantic serpent that awaited him at the end of the river. Perhaps there's actually something beyond that, but getting behind said serpent is likely to be hellish. He nabs a quick scan on the creature. Suddenly, its entire body shifts towards the boat that Boshi and Hat Kid are riding. They're stared down by a singular eye that crackles with electricity. Water begins to swirl around its body and-

Well, they don't stick around to find out what it's about to do to them, paddling back across the river. Or whatever method of propulsion they decided to use. Fortunately for them, the serpent doesn't follow. Without much to look at, they take a look at their scanner-

...It's been shut off. Only a partial data collection was completed. Suddenly, they're patched in a message from Omo. Perhaps it should be given a look? Anyway, in their haste, they build a rather large dam, using a newly crafted Titanium Lumber Axe crafted from 3 Titanium and a Uniform Log. While this fails to divert the water due to the river somehow being still, [small][small](hold on let me just edit this water systems are hard okay)[/small][/small] it'll certainly prevent the creature's advance. A laser is then used to connect JOE's farm to the water flow. The duo then heads up to the Hanging Gardens.

JOE then reveals that there's some magical gate that's letting his robots flood into the zone, before going over to the Hanging Gardens. His robots, meanwhile, head over to gather some vines, getting 5 Sturdy Vines in the process. He then promptly designates a "Stash" area in the farm, then moves a Silkweed Bundle, the Empty Chest, a Lumipod, a Celefruit, a bottle of Holy Dew, and... well, he opts to not horribly violate Chloe's packed lunch. That'd simply be rude; ask her first? JOE then opts to name the Fortified Cavern to the Fortified Farm!

<FOREST OF DEPARTURE, ROUND FIVE>
While the Fighter's been rehanged by a rather evil Sentence, there's not much standing in the way of you and escape! Charge forward, and claim your victory! And maybe let Chloe use a bit of Salve on somebody for that healing bonus. That counts.

<THE HANGING GARDEN, ROUND TWO>
Don't bunch up! If the Gallow uses Feather Noose on multiple targets, that could be devastating! Also be VERY careful of that shallow water; most of the Iti in the area can and will abuse it for massive damage!

JOE moves to E11 and methodically crushes the 10F sentence to pieces.
while waiting for the rest of the player turn to end, JOE takes direct control over a new ROBOTS brand Trion soldier. since he wants something humanoid, he chooses the 'fighting-mad megabots' to drop in. All that matters is that they are roughly humanoid and have hands. he proceeds to have the soldier deepen all the irrigation channels slowly and carefully, before connecting them to the river channel just outside. With these preparations complete, the Megabot carefully and slowly lifts a bundle of silkweed from the storage, then attempts to plant it near or partially in the water channels he just deepened.

For Forest of Departure Round 5, Berg drops down from where he was "hanging out". What? Two turns have occurred since then? Ridiculous, no such thing! He was there, doing all the awesome stuff... in the time it took him to drop from the tree...

Anyway, he sprints to D13 and smacks the Sentence in the face! Or the thing closest resembling a face.

cA: YOU'RE the type of madmen I like, bear-heart Emerald and raven-mind Toast! That was GLORIOUS! If you need a giant to take that place at any time, I'd be gladly willing to offer myself!

He awaits round 6...

Toast blushes at Bergilmir's compliment, "Ahah, thanks, Berg. I'll keep it in mind!"

She proceeds to violently chow down on the Celefruit, then sprint to E5.

(If she has the movement boost for whatever reason, then Toast will just sprint straight to the exit without consuming the fruit.)

Once she's there, Toast shouts back through the entirety of the forest to Chloe, "Picture what it would be like to use magic, then just do whatever it is you're thinking of! That should let you use it! If you can, try and reach us where we are!"
When Chloe gets up here, she lowers her voice to a normal level and suggests healing emerald.

While this is all happening, the Will o' Wisp floats on over to I11 (flying), and opens the chest.

~~

If, after all is done, she can speak to the Informant, she does so:
"Hey, uh, are you with the four guys I met earlier?"
Her eyes glance to the sky now and again, but she otherwise tries to hide her discomfort.

Teag leaves the Forest of Departure, and if he can, appears at I12 in the new battle.

The Man rolls over to I26, punches Hound numero the eight, and because this is probably the third basic attack, uses Judo Fireball, targeting Hound 7. He then retreats to G24.

"(I'm gonna regret this...)"

Boshi moves up to (I8), and fires NorthWest. Hat Kid prematurely books it, as Boshi might get hanged, and she doesn't want to get anywhere near him when it happens She had enough of sentient nooses, thanks. Boshi braces for impact...

The Mafia Grunt moves up to (H9) and punches the nearby Sentence into oblivion. He retreats to (J11).

Irongutta uses Skeletal Toss on the Raider, moving it the full 4 spaces to L6!

"Way's cleared, you lads better leg it good an' proppa to the other side!"

Move to H23! Attack Seeker1! It's time to take it DOWN! This is the Forest of Departure, and I'll be darned if I'm not gonna depart!

Mr. Krabs gains as much Precision as he can, and bravely ventures directly to N15, uses his Chilling Chairclaws to remove the Sentence from the Fighter's neck. "I wonder what these taste like," Mr. Krabs absentmindedly mutters as he watches a creature with 0 dodge in range 1 slump to the forest floor.

Terry uses the RNG upgrade. Twice.

He then consumes the Celefruit, sprints to G27, and warps all the way to F3.

shizuki2223: thanks! =)
shizuki2223: sorry about that...

Shizuki goes to D24 and shoots the Sentence in half with a Close-Combat Shot. Using the POWER OF MATH, she also destroys the Seeker next to it.
