The War of the Three

@KoL
There's only one thing I can really do now...

Hope that Iona is merciful and she lets one of the Machina free so they can continue the trials.

@Banana

Convince her one of them is innocent and she'll. Iona always keeps her word.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel
I TRIED AND I'M SORRY I AM BAD AT BEING A CREDIT TO THE TEAM!

@Banana

It was bad luck, don't worry. But yeah, you screwed the Machina really, really hard.

The War of the Three

Okay so it's been determined that anyone with wings can legally fly over the ice maze, can this be achieved in one posting turn? Like straight from elevator to elevator?

@Mega Birb

I don't think you can go from one to another in a single post. Especially because I haven't described the maze yet, so it may not be what you are thinking it's. I'll do so once someone gets into one of those elevators.

The War of the Three

@KoL
Are the captured Machina vunerable to attack? Also thanks for saving Sliske's hide.

In a related note, are any elevators open at the moment?

@Mega Birb

They are vulnerable, but remember that Iona said that if someone interfered with her work, they would be imprisoned in Celestia. Also, it was luck, if Henry drew the Wrong card, you would be more screwed. I'm doing this by luck, really.

There should be port and bow elevators, since the starboard is crowded with mines, 2 Henries, 2 Gelgasths and Shizuka.

The War of the Three

@TheWindel It's not something she would ever go "Yes. I want to do this." But if she was given the opportunity, she couldn't resist. It would be the ultimate betrayal. Of herself, her friends, her hopes and dreams, and all the work herself and others have put in.

@The 42nd Gecko

But, if it's not something she wants, it shouldn't logically be her deepest desire. If her desire is to be the ultimate betrayer it's one thing, but it doesn't necessarily means she'll destroy the Nexus with it, if that's not her actual desire.

@Lonewolf685 I don't think it would be 1 post. A minute is a really long time in combat.

@The 42nd Gecko

Actually, not, considering that each ride on the elevators take about this much time and they should come and go in 01 post intervals.

The War of the Three

@KoL If Miyu's choice is to faint, what will that mean?

All joking aside, I'm not sure how Hoho'd manifest the destruction of the Nexus.

@The 42nd Gecko

Just make your choice of what you think is the greatest desire of your character and if they accept it or not, as long as things make sense, like on Juno's post. I'll handle the rest.

The War of the Three

@KoL So do the Lovers create what you want most? Or an illusion of what you want most? I'm not sure Hoho is strong enough or willing to do the former.

Deva: Why are we having sex again?
Eos: Especially in front of everyone.

@The 42nd Gecko

Hohenheim can reassemble things at a subatomic level and has nearly total omniscience. As far as it goes, she can do whatever she pleases. Like she said, your characters can go and grab their desires, in which case it would be real, or reject it and make them an illusion, like Juno did. Make your choice and you'll see the consequences later.

The War of the Three

PS: I hardly think it would kill everyone there in a fell swoop. Hurt badly it may do, but I find it hard to believe that it packs the punch to be a TPK. The size and power of this is something we still need to regulate.

The War of the Three

So if everyone either doesn't leave the lobby through the front door, be one of the 3 who can make it up an Elevator, or find a way to remove the Daimyo from the equation, everyone in the lobby is dead.

IE, it appears you all have 1 post to save your hides from being vaporized. Since I don't think Henry wants to throw it into his gates and vaporize a large chunk of his horde, and Balrog seems a bit too busy to really throw the wreck outside into the void, I wish you luck in that affair. I'll post when I muster the energy, or watch all of Kabeneri of the Iron Fortress on Amazon. Whichever is quicker.

@Lonewolf685

You should consider that only the Machina know of that at the moment, so none of them could do that even if they wanted to.

The War of the Three

I hope you all appreciate that post. I was a huge undertaking, seriously. Also, hopefully it'll give a little better spatial awareness for everyone and make the rest of the battle harder to ignore/miss.

It's the only thing I hope for.
