Go ahead, I wanted to pound it into every head present at the riot that this thing would either take an act of the Gods to take down or very many coordinated acts of mortals. I'll start writing its downfall in my next post, that way we have concrete evidence that anything is actually doing good for the rioters against their fight.[/quote]
The coordinated attack could very well fall apart, it was not conjured up as an 'easy out', and I expect some casualties now that the rout spell has worn off. Time and distance calculations, I realise, are way off in my post. That was one long minute - my bad. Thyra is fighting at the front line, where the rebels have held the guard force, she is waiting for an opportunity to jump in.

I mentioned that the actual guard force was being pushed back and those guards who were separated have formed a defensive ring around the crab, so anyone at the riot, take that into account.[/quote]
[quote=Nyxella]While the creature was spooked, the guards stumbled to avoid its path and were easily impaled on rebel spears, if not clipped by swords swooping in.[/quote] We attacked but didn't kill them all, and I imagined some collateral damage on account of the rout spell.

So, the Dwemer crab's arm-guns are dismantled, we have that much. Basically, now its just a cannon on legs...so...I mean its not good...but its...I don't know, less bad.
[/quote]Arm-guns... shit, it had more than two armaments? I have misunderstood the creature's design this whole time then, because I thought it only had two. Qara'Sion and co. took one out. Vendel smacked and damaged the other, but it's still functioning, as we saw when he was hit. 

To be clear: the ranged units are on the side of the damaged cannon, drawing fire away from the other two teams; there is a phalanx in the front and blunt weapon wielders in the back trying to kneecap it. Thyra is some distance off helping to hold back the main guard force. Any survivors from the attack on the defensive ring are caught in the chaos without reinforcements. Again, I expect the death tally to rise now that the rout spell has worn off and the crab has been restored to its factory settings.
