<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Waves my wings, scattering the wind and bombarding both of you with a torrent of gusts*

@Nimda

*The cloud of smoke and dust remains, jiggling in response to the wind more like gelatin than any cloud and not behaving like any cloud would*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

*The gems detonate in sequence, evaporating the whole of the entry plane with explosions that rock the ground below us*

@Nimda

*Barrels into the flames of the explosion before they dissipate, dissapearing i to the smoke*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Magnanimity>

Works for me. Let's do it.
*Aligns myself with the gate and gets ready*

@Artifact

"Every second counts."
*Enters the fray as well, quickly navigating on a path different to Chickpea's*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Are you suggesting some kind of distraction?

@Artifact

Almost, and kinda. It has to divide its attention amongst all intruders.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Yeah, by breaking through the other one.

@Artifact

One big, powerful guard is still one guard, if you get what I mean.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

What do you have in mind?

@Artifact

Last time you came through here, you did it alone, yeah?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

That's why I was really hoping you had something in your back pocket for that. Who'd make a gate easy to sneak into?

@Artifact

I have some tricks. But sneaking is not the answer.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Deceptively easy. The only true entrance is the gate.

@Artifact

I suppose there’s no need to fix what still serves its purpose. I anticipated more to the environment to make sneaking easier.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Small craters pepper the otherwise-pristine landscape leading up to the gate, while grasslands and forests emerge in the distance*

@Nimda

The walls fell, but they went through the effort of cleaning up without fixing it.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*Faces straight ahead unwaveringly as you approach*

@Nimda

*Glances around looking for any broken pieces of rubble to skirt behind, or other advantageous features*
