Oh good time for specific entity orders. Minuono, attack the Mouse. Sundowner, switch to attack and attack that cow. MGR, also the cow. Monsoon and Mistral (and the dwarf gekko's), attack the chicken.
What in tarnation... Alright, that's enough! In a flash, I disappear. I have something more to do. Namely, warp down to that stupid giant skeleton blacksmith guy to tell him I need my damn sword. With a rattling sigh, he relinquishes it.
Item got! Great Voidic Chaos Flame Zweihander +5! ...I have no idea what this thing does but OH BOY does it seem like fun. Let's test it. I warp back to the Barnyard, above the pig who promptly receives a decapitating blow, purple flames trailing after the blade as an eruption of blackened flesh and purple flames, well... erupts... from the cut.
(Whatever my charge was at/)40
OHGODIT'SHIDEOUS
Metal Gear GUN descends on the Barnyard and the animals, opening fire with extreme prejudice. It then blasts into the air. The animals and barn notice that the sky has turned jet black. But in reality, that's because every bit of the sky has a ridiculously OP projectile floating in it. HAILSTORM: UNLEASH!

Astrec opens up a file on his computer as teleports to Science World, cloaked. The File is marked ascendent's_edge.png. Astrec smiles, then teleports far down into science world, taking advantage of the downed to defenses, and praying his space spears and experimental cloaking will prevent him from being seen. He scans the whole planet, and begins stealing all the stuff that won't permentatly cripple the research here. He also looks for materials reprentsenting elements, as he needs those for a project.
I yell toward where I heard SONG's voice, "Okay, please inform me then in what way it would be difficult, as that will determine if I can, and therefore am willing, to try anyway. I am here to right my accidental wrong, and I will do so if at all possible, even if my death is the cost. I have made a mistake, I shall correct it. On your statement on more than magic at work, do you mean deific magic as opposed to arcanic, for if so I can work with either if necessary. I can even deal with the Eldritch magics of great old ones if required. If you instead mean a more pure form of reality warping, then I will simply have to observe it enough to understand its workings. I will do what I must, no matter the cost, to fix what has been broken, so long as it may work."
I open my channel to series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, and ask him "How do negotiations go, series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, did they relent, or need I attempt to sway them to your side. I am a bit far out, so the details I am getting of the fight are hazy to me. Also, I am sorry if I said your name in a bit of an accent, but you can only learn so much of how to speak thousands of languages in a few hours stretched to a few years. And I was reading up on enough books on the nature of magic that the instant I try to make spells I should be able to make a near perfect solution five minutes after. To put it lightly, I was busy before I got here. I hope that once I am done cleansing a small debt I incurred upon myself by mistake I will be able to aid in peace talks with much speed." With that, energy swirls around me, as I begin to put energy into storage for later use, as today seems like a day where everything will go wrong if I am not ready. 1/40
Unfortunately while I would indeed appreciate your efforts to repair the thing that the equivalent of a life force that I have is attached to, I don't actually know how it works.
But I do know this:
The forms of energy it uses are ancient powers. Powers that not even Great Old Ones can match.

Hey, I figured out what all these terrors are weak against! What's that, Mr. Karpinsky?
Point-blank annihilation.
And then a ten-ton titanium tower attacks the Terror Dog. And by attacks, I mean lands on with extreme prejudice. The ten-ton titanium tower then explodes, showering the battlefield with ten tons of titanium shrapnel.
"SONG, that still does not answer whether you know the form my difficulties will take in my entrance. You said it would be difficult even with your help, but you don't apparently know how if you are relaying the situation correctly. I was asking if it took the form of, say, a system of trials to test worth, or just a raw power shield between me and that room. even if it is simply planar or temporal displacement blocking my entry you should be able to give me a slight sense of the issue's type. You also said that great old ones cannot manage what these forces manage. Do you have anything like a glimpse of what the forces who molded this were. If I can get even a simple hint I can start planning to get in. Every scenario I have guessed I already have a direct counter planned, so I just need to know what I am up against to prepare my response."
Magic wells up as I prepare another charge worth of energy, and I say, 電荷(Denka) 2/40 " So, series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster, do you have any idea how you could set up a peace summit between those players willing to find peace, and the Godmodder. I would like to set it up as soon as we can, and I am planning on enacting such ideas as soon as I am able, though I may need to do a bit of work, as I intend to aid you in at least one of two ways before initiating peace talks. I will either dethrone if necessary, enforcing such reforms you listed if not, those who rule your land, allowing such reforms to create the land you envision for your world. If you would prefer, however, I can instead guarantee a way for you to do so yourself, single handedly, should you fall in battle. I know of a method, if you are willing, of reviving one who died, if they are brought to a specific object soon enough following. The one I speak of for you would do nothing more, nor less, than make you the hope of your people for all of time, an eternal warrior, defending your people from those who wish them ill. I can guarantee you will not fail, if you take this deal, as one with powers of the same type once outclassed an omnipotent in direct, one versus one energy clash combat. If you would prefer not, then I will go through with the former plan. The latter will take time and planning, however, so weigh that in your expectations, and if you chose it, do not die before I finish my plan for it."
"Arbiter, do you know whether the ones who effectively abducted the first few who entered this fight, forcing them into the combat directly after, will fight us if we sue for peace. I am just curious, so as to hedge bets."
I ponder what to do after trying to devise an attack for the Barnyard animals, and failing miserably, thus quickly simply deciding to craft a Healing add-on! Pulling out two charges, I condense the energy tightly within my hands until it there's a small explosion that occurred within them. I open up my palms to reveal a Repair Stone that allows healing spells to work fully on mechanical entities. I pass this over to the Lunar Matriarch and prepare for the PG's attack.
(Orders!)
Lunar Matriarch unleashes the entirety of Lunar Salvation onto the REX along with the help of the Repair Stone. If the Rex was destroyed then the Lunar Matriarch releases the special normally, healing and boosting our morale.
Lunar Priest heals up the Clone Troopers.
Clone Barrack pumps up 10 more troopers to the field.
The commandos and troopers fires upon the Terror Chicken.
The engineer works on creating some power armor.
I call upon the Void Engineers and enlist their totally-not-Magical help in repairing the REX,if they cannot,they will instead heal another mechanical AG Entity and leave

Remember the rules: nothing can leave the cube without instantly dying. bring nothing with you except your armor and arcane focus and use your wizardly power only!
To open, use my Duel Disk (standard focus for official duels) to conjure into being an invisible warden from another plane right in front of my opponent (who I also attempt to analyse; scanning is a free action, after all). The invisible creature immediately starts barking, and then takes a bite out of the enemy wizard.
Faithful pupper, boy-o.
Arnold sends the representatives back to their home plane/universe/dimension/timeline/slice of the big empty/whatever, but not before resupplying. Looks like he's going to be here for a while longer.
He then lights the Terror Mouse on fire.
Can't dodge DoT, boy.
The Iron God is ordered to stop hiding and make his way over to P2's party, when he returns.

the drones continue repairing the facility. steffan starts designing an amplifier for souls...whatever that means. jason uses the similarity of a certain project I have planned to coding to design the runic sequences on a certain stone. Aron plans out how to link these. james realizes oh. this means all we need is some mithril and the fabber can do the rest, probably! so he gets some mithril, somehow.
The FABBER takes the mithril from james and threads in some of its unused elemental energy controllers (IE: blood, air, earth, pretty much everything but metal, machine and vintage for raw force). metal, machine and vintage are still used for guard drone construction.
ACTION:
I steal the Godmodders marshmelows and force-feed them to all the terror animals
to fire elemental man: "...Ok, I sort of deserve that. However, I would like to note that as far as I'm aware, these things are never particularly painful or inconvenient, so from a completely alien perspective with no concept of social norms, my actions make perfect sense."
Facility ordered! You steal two marshmallows and force feed them to seven animals! Wow! What a feat!
As you aren't in an open line of communication with P2, he doesn't hear you.
It do be like that sometimes.

Entity Orders: Attack the Terror Dog!
~~~~~~~~~
I shoot a dozen vials of neurotoxin at the Terror Mouse. This toxin will slow the reaction time of the Terror Mouse, reducing its dodge rate.
I yell toward where I heard SONG's voice, "Okay, please inform me then in what way it would be difficult, as that will determine if I can, and therefore am willing, to try anyway.

"ah, yes. hello again. there is no need to apologize, your ignan is wonderful. the negotiations went well, though one of your number did attempt to attack me outright."
I blink at the sight at the Terror beings but shrug the feeling off. Nothing I haven't seen before.
Getting back to supporting any entities, I take a look at the REX and decided that it'll be the target of my attention. Raising my Healium Staff, a huge beam of light engulfs the REX which condenses on its form. The solid light soon congregates on the still damaged parts of the REX and starts to repair the damage done to it.
Of course, while this is magic and should probably not be as effective if you take a closer look, you can find that the light is actually clouds of nanomachines.
Eventually, the glowing soon dies off as the nanomachines use themselves to fix as much as possible.
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random enemy entity, due to impulsive "muscle" manipulation, will accidentally attack one of its allies as their EoTB action.
- Has a passive 10% chance to dodge, or rather, cause the assailant to impulsively miss.
The I Hand claws at the Terror Chicken.
HP: 260,000
AC: 1
EoTB Actions:
- Attack an enemy for 15,000
Specials:
- Each EoTB, a random allied attack will hit the wrong target, but there will be a +50k boost to the damage.
- 30% chance to dodge, or rather, blink out of the enemy's attack.
The Z Hand rams its smaller rods into the Terror Chicken.
HP: 400,000
Attack: 80,000
Special: Element Roulette 0/2
Randomly chooses 1 out of 7 of its components and uses its effect:
"Mana": Revitalizes an ally entity, healing them by 50,000 HP and boosting their attack by 20,000 for one turn.
Strange Ball of Fire: Strikes an enemy entity for 50,000 and gives them a "Burn" status where they lose 20,000 each turn for 5 turns.
Evergrowing Seed: Creates a "Seed" entity with 10,000 HP that, when kept alive after 3 turns, becomes an "Overgrown Plant Monster" entity with 100,000 HP and 50,000 Attack.
Heartfreeze Ice: Inflicts an enemy entity with a "Heartfrozen" status which essentially freezes that entity for 2 turns.
Childish Tempest: Displaces 3 random enemy attacks, causing them to hit different targets instead and reducing each damage by 20,000.
Cosmic Storm: Spawns a "Storm Cloud" entity in between two enemy entities, reducing their hit rates by 40% and dealing 15,000 each turn. The cloud is untargetable, but only lasts for 2 turns.
Richest Soil: Buffs the Elemental Landmark's next attack to 200,000.
Element Roulette activates. If the result is offensive, the Elemental Landmark aims it at the Terror Chicken. If the result is "Mana," give it to the I Hand.
---------------------------------------------------------------
The Terror Ferret feels a sharp pang of pain course through its legs/whichever limb contributing to its dodge mechanism. As it turns out, being a hideous abomination might not be good for one's body.
The moment it tries to move, the pain in its limb will only cause it to trip up, making it an easier target for attacks.

It is time for another expenditure of maximum charge. The construct I have been deciding for a while, fed by notable levels of godmodder damage and the combined power of many elements and tales long dead before she should get her claws in them. A computronium miracle surpassing the Matrix and the Moon Cell of old, and of an unrelated basis. Beyond Singularity lies Singularity again and again. Achievement of ever greater self-improvements turned not just to power of force, but power of learning. Above such toposcopic dreams is not deus ex machina, but deus est machina. But divinity is old hat and I do not wish in hate the Repetitive, so this is something wilder still than a mere saturation attack of the Unexplored-class overpantheia reigning above.
The mind of an AI above AI above AI and above that again-again begins to stir, automated systems popping up with every actualization that dances free of my piece-mind.
I would have had more grace but nope, the Barnyard demands expenditure.
A new moon rises in the sky. And that moon is the reality-affecting computer archailect I christen here and now Arcologus, for it is time to begin.
Requested specials:
-Construction facilities with REPLICATORS because sometimes I just want to make items ok
-Lots of computers with a ridiculously complex smart-AI that self-manages so we can put them on the science team for more research I guess
-Wormhole brains to make the computers faster than mundanely possible for MAXIMUM PROCESSING POWER
-Data generation: capable of spawning terrain via reality-marble to standard-reality gen-imposition
-Humanoid Interface construction: we're gonna make magic anime people up in this business
-I guess it has point defense lasers if it needs to attack or intercept things but that's not the real focus here.
-For convenience, rope all these it-does-special-stuff mechanics under one 'Data Jurisdiction' meter shared between Arcologus and all the Humanoid Interfaces, call it DJ or DC for short or whatever. It's basically just charge in the style of the work point system but representing a different sort of R&D and reality-coding shenanigans generated by Arcologus and the Interfaces.
-In the event of Arcologus dying or otherwise long-term incapacitation functionally equivalent to destruction, Data Jurisdiction is handed over to any surviving Interface(s). In the event of any Interface defecting or facing insurmountable communications separation, it gains its own Data Jurisdiction meter instead, shared among its faction/communicable-group. This works because anime people secretly possess massive processing power for the purposes of spellcasting, even before these ones are secretly humanlike aliens cyborg'd with reality.

Why did the Terror Chicken cross the Terror Road?
To get to the Terror Other Side!
...
The Terror Chicken gets run over by a Terror Truck as it tries to cross.
"Series of crackling noises, followed by the roar of what seems to be a rocket booster,I am not dim enough to think I have anything like enough power to do anything of the first plan as of now. I have a plan to increase my raw destructive force by many many times, but it will require me to take time from my current reparations. Once I finish making amends, presuming it possible, I intend to start on this plan, and not stop until my might would at a bare minimum require the Godmodder herself to fight seriously if I were to have to combat her. That is the plan at least, and it may take less time than you would imagine. It will require me to use my knowledge of power increasing methods to the spot a slight bit before their limit. I will attempt to find another method if possible. Just a curiosity though, A: would you be offended if I use water as an attack method if force must be used on the, High Council of Nihil Magna, was it, and B: would it have increased effectivity on them. I need to know all my options so as to know whether there is a faster method. Side note, getting armies on my side isn't my style, since, if you noticed, I don't do summoning as much as my... colleagues, I guess. I will make myself capable of freeing your people, or not do it at all, as I will not sacrifice others on a crusade I choose, discluding only if I find one whom has done enough ill to others that I feel giving them a chance to die doing good is their only way of compensating for how awful they are, or if I can't stop them from coming to my aid. Any others I won't put in harms way for my battles. The second of my ideas would not revive in a traditional sense, and I said hope of your people in a slightly more literal sense than you seem to have taken it, though not as literal as completely. If you want more information on it, then please ask, I can discuss the method, even if it only piques your interest slightly. You would be less a leader than a guardian, and death could still find you, but only a worthy one from that point forward would ever have the chance. So think it over, but if you still refuse, I will respect the decision, but I wanted to cleanse any misunderstanding. Also, do not take my statement on the power I intend to reach as bravado or overconfidence, I may not fully reach that level, but I will be much better than I am now. I will speak on this later, so fare you well, until next we speak."
I pull out a small device, which I stab into my hand, but no blood flows. Instead, it becomes filled with raw power, as some leaks into it. 3/40
"Arbiter, I know I am confusing, but I believe you should have noticed I was not dragged into this by the same council as the first group. I guess, from that, that you mostly speak from something akin to wikipedia articles and direct observation for your little summaries then? If so then I would like to know what else you have in capacities besides, as I am a curious man besides all else I have demonstrated. I believe I may have to speak with this group which sent the first Reality Warpers here eventually, so as to learn their intent, but I will get to that later."
"SONG, please inform me of what you can tell of my current position relative to where the trials are. Am I at the wrong spot, wrong time, wrong dimension, anything you can inform me of. I can't seem to tell which is the issue at the moment alone... and tell me, is it that I am just not strong enough, not powerful enough, to manage? Does it simply take more power than I possess to enter that room when it is less damaged? I will get right to repairing that issue as soon as possible if so. I swear I will do all I can to fix my error."

METAL GEAR GUN jets up into the sky, raining justice from above, andbyjusticeImeanohsomanybulletsandchairswaitwhyaretherechairsohtheyexplodethat'swhy
Astrec smiles. These elements will be useful, very useful. He then takes out the Herald's legs, and begins analyzing them. He searches the energies that flow through them, looking intently. Finally, he finds what he is looking for. The Godmodder energy. He picks it apart, scanning it. He then turns to another machine and types up some complex calculations, and presses ENTER. Instantly, the machine whirs, other materials he has prepared mixing with it.
A small ingot of a grayish purple metal pops out. The surface flows around like liquid, but still somehow isn't changing shape in anyway. Astrec eagerly grabs it, and takes a sample. He then records the method he used to make it with, and sends them to a guy he knows, asking if he can make more. The guy says yeah, but he'll need a bunch of payment and- Astrec interrupts by sending him a metric ton of Voidic currency thanks to Descendant powers and his weapons and dangerous materials business. A hour later, he has a stack of those ingots. He then takes the Broadsword of Slap he has, and uses the sword's powers, making the metal able to handle the powers he'll be using. He heads over to a small forge, and crafts up thirty two sword templates from the ingots. That should be more then enough for his plans.
He then takes the first template, and opens up the Ascendant's Edge file, scanning it. Alright, he'll make the Thought, Dream, Sight, one first. He turns to the template, and takes the element of Thought from his stash. He begins channeling his natural powers of Thought and Mind as he heads into his storage, and retrieves some materials he bought a while ago. Some dust that enhances ones thinking powers while in use, some crystals, and other assorted things. He begins chanting softly as he puts the materials together, closing his eyes and imagining very hard the result of this craft. He finishes, a soft pink light bathing the room, and opens his eyes. The materials have fused, the template is gone, and all of his work is done. The first part of the puzzle has been made. Astrec obtains The Clear Thought, a powerful blade embodying the element of thought, and which has complete control of said element. Thanks to the materials used in the construction of this weapon, it has a charge amount instead of durability, which will begin regening once it runs out. It is part of a greater project....
Satisfied, that he is defended, Astrec soulbinds his artifacts to him, causing them to teleport back to his base upon his death. He then poofs back into the Battlefield, and utilizes the power of the Clear Thought to give the Terrors with the highest attack giant headaches and distracting thoughts.
Astrec sends a message to P2 Hey, P2, one of the Descended here. Would you mind chatting with about something for a sec?
Grabbing a pair of ULTRA-duty gloves, I sneakily get behind the Terror chicken and *BEEEEEEEP* to extract the egg right before they're laid and before the chicken or anyone can react...
I quickly TELEPORT THE CRAP OUT OF THERE with the egg in hand and hastily conjure a makeshift nest to put the egg in. Through quick examination, the Egg happened to be fertilized but just needs some more care before it can hatch.
After that, I immediately toss away the gloves that are covered in liquid and shudder at what I've done and the moral implications of it.
gah, the facility broke! I quickly reposition my Exo-toa suit to guard the researchers. all squadmate effort as well as james and steffan and the FABBER get to work on trying to restore a modicum of safety. aron keeps trying to find a way to amplify souls, somehow.

Actually getting hit by a spell? Don't be ridiculous. Counterspell!
(Portent roll of 11 means I dispelled Psychic Scream)
Since The Wizard didn't move away from the good boy, the pupper attempts to bite him again.
"Wow, you're pretty good. Not quite good enough, though."
I laugh.
"Hard to get a good read on you. Let's see. Low strength, as one might expect from our kind. Spellcasting like that implies some good somatic skill. HP like that must mean you're one fit wizard. A kindred spirit. Intellect beyond measure. Wisdom low enough that you thought fighting me would be a good idea."
I begin casting a spell...
"And charisma? Gosh golly, why your charisma must be lower than low. Your words roll off the tongue like rocks off a cliff. And as for looks, your face looks like you were standing at the bottom of the cliff!
Low charisma is good."
I cast Banishment on The Wizard. Roll Charisma saving throw vs 27 DC. Using another portent dice, I force the roll to be an 11. The Wizard is banished to a random, harmless demiplane somewhere in the multiverse.
Copy the materials and information from the stuff I inventory'd from Science World to ARCOLOGUS, and then return the original materials to Science World so they can get back to researching whatever.

I press a button on another one of my many remotes.
A Mechanical Bull falls out of the sky and lands next to me.
I proceed to ride the Mechanical Bull like a mechanical bull, by which I mean I ride it straight at the Terror Cow and hop off before the Mechanical Bull gets to critical radius.
The Mechanical Bull lowers its horns and catches the Terror Cow in the midsection, before tossing it up into the air. The Mechanical Bull rears up, and hits the falling Terror Cow with its front hooves. The Mechanical Bull charges over to the fallen Terror Cow and then explodes, with the Terror Cow caught in the blast radius.

Arnold receives a special delivery in the space!mail: It's a Mk.II Securitron!
Securitron MK.II
HP and ATK are reasonable for the charge invested in them.
3 AC, regens 10% max HP per round
Three different options for basic attacks:
Machine Gun: a basic attack
Laser Gun: damage is lowered slightly; ignores 1 AC
Grenades: 1/2 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge
A bonus attack that can be used at the same time as basic attacks:
Rockets: 1/5 a charged attack; ignores enemy dodge; AoE 3 (damages target, as well as entity directly above and below target on entity list).
PM if needs re-balancing (which it probably does tbh)
The Mageling Hoarde begins bodyguarding Ishmael, who snipes an enemy.
Securitron MK.II fires laser gun at the terror pig.
Arnold scrys on the Iron God in the elemental plane of fire, who should have found P2's party by now.
A Giant head appears on the battlefield. It is green, and somewhat translucent. It speaks.
"I AM THE GREAT AND POWERFUL SMIRK, BOW BEFORE MY MIGHT, PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE ROBOT BEHIND THE GREEN CURTAIN."
Everyone suddenly notices a green curtain in a corner of the barnyard. The first person to disobey the giant floating head by messing with the curtain is hit by an explosion to the face. Moving on, the Head says, "NOW, YOU WILL BE GIVEN ONE GIFT BY ME, AND THEN I SHALL LEAVE FOR NOW. YES, BY THE WAY, I AM THE ENDER_SMIRK'S DIRECT LINE TO YOU ALL. HE SAYS HELLO, AND HAPPY HUNTING."
The illusory head fades out, and suddenly, a giant grill appears on the battlefield. On it is a note saying "Humanity is on the top of the food chain, these are livestock you are dealing with, take one guess as to the plan."
Back in the void near the Trials.
"I hope I can pull this off. I am, after all, new to this reality warping shtick. I hope no one dies from my failures. I will do all I can to aid peace, and hope. Hope above all must be sheltered."
"ANYHOW, Arbiter, please inform those who sent the first couple reality warpers into battle that if they intend to use force to stop peace negotiations to keep in mind that I at least have never been at their mercy, so any security measures they have to disable the rest will be much less, if at all, effective on me, so tell them that I am willing to bargain with her if she is willing to let those who liked how their world was organized, decided by majority, to rebuild with reality warping help. Also inform them that by the time negotiations begin in earnest I intend to be in a position to lead the negotiations, and therefore keep some control, and that that power will also be likely greater than they can muster, unless I insanely underestimate how many universe they can destroy at once."
Eh... I windmill my arms, trailing cyan from each hand, and two disk-shaped bright pink... disks... appear. I repeat this 4 more times, walking forward as I do. with another wave of my hand, some purple-pink ectoplasmic hands reach through each disk into the extended space the facility was build on. within it lies the minelayer, and all the mines it laid. each ectoplasm hand grabs a mine, then darts back through the portal, leaving the mine before me, where I grab it with telepathy. they repeat this process, until the probably-like-20-or-so mines are all arrayed before me. they were all previously modified to allow templars through, of course. and I arrange them into an icsohedron- each verticy has a mine, and beams of light connect them into a cohesive shape. with a pulse of energy, all the mines activate, but instead of creating gates within themselves- and destroying themselves- the connection results in the creation of a very thin, stable, spherical gate around the entire configuration. on the outside, it looks like a self-sustaining spherical spatial distortion passing through dimensions, but in the middle it looks like a infinitely looping series of dimly-glowing mines.
Through the distortion come templars. I've given them another way to affect the war... and this one's bigger, just as stable. this time, they're also ready. also, P5 uses a whole bunch of magic types and templars disapprove of anyone who uses something other then vintage magic or native templar abilities (hence the purple hands and disks: vintage is pinkish-purplish most of the time, and I don't want them to hate me yet. they aren't as against machines which use it iirc, so the fabber Should be fine.). they especially hate elementalists, which means anyone who uses elemental magic... given the surface similarities between void and the oblivion magic of P5, they'll assume its fundamentally the same most likely, and as such fight the Godmodder's forces to the last, as long as they can actually show up.
plus, since there was an epic battle, they'd probably have seen some hint of non-vintage magic which isn't native templar abilities during that time.
If the Terror Chicken is still living, I take the time to suplex it into a DK cannon which promptly fires the Terror entity into a wall of glue which hits a wall of feathers right after before slamming and impaling itself into the Terror Pig.
If the Chicken has fallen, then I man the Cloning Barracks to have it produce stuff early this turn. I also idly add in two more Clone modifications for more units along with some hen DNA into the cloning pods.
2 CP = Hen, Looks after eggs. (Comes in a variety of size with instincts on how to hatch all sorts of eggs, hence the cost.)
(Orders!)
Lunar Sworn, if he still lives, attempts a strike at the Terror Donkey.
Lunar Matriarch heals up the entity that's closest to death with the Lunar Priest picking the three entities that have the lowest health and unleashing Lunar's Light onto them.
The Cloning Barrack Spits out 2 Clone Riot Troopers in Riot gear, along with a Hen to look after the Egg that I stole.
Troops blaze the Terror Donkey in plasma fire.
Commandos let loose their tactical flashbangs in front of the Terror Cow in hopes of it missing its special next turn.
One of the engineers fixes up the damage on my suit while the other check to see if there's any mechanical AG entity or armor to fix.
Charge 12/40
---------------------------------------------------------------
Today's turn has been quite normal, if I say so myself, what with Player attacks flying by, strangers watching the whole battle, P4 loving all of this, the Terror Donkey asphyxiating in space real hard only to remember that they actually don't need to breathe at all but still end up taking damage from that period of asphyxiation.
