I try my best to avoid this conflict, though I don't like the three post thing either. I know some of us don't post often, but I feel this is kinda limiting what we can do without collabs. But that's all I have to say on that.

As for ways to end battles, how about a more definitive win condition? Like either scoring an objective or a TPK against the enemy groups. If Bastion is the goal, than whoever has her and escapes would "Win" the battle. Alternatively, whoever can eliminate the others first. So if the Angels killed or captured all the PC's on both the Machina and Demon's side at once, they would automatically win the battle. Which I know sounds nearly impossible, but this way we can have our characters focus on fighting and we won't run into logical problems like how we manage to get through the Elicitor so easily.
