The Heart of Citadel is less than 500 feet away from where you are now. However, between it and you are Kingfisher, and his two elite servants, Teo-Has and Wakari.

The reason that Newgate Castle is empty is because Kingfisher lured all of the Workers and Paladins away. Right towards Shadow Company and the Rouge Birds. King fisher has made the assumption that you'll tell him the information he needs to find and secure the Heart for himself.

He's about to find out what happens to people who take hostages in front of the Paladin Serpent.

Biggest question:

Throw lea, or beacon dash?

Thinking about it, this entire battle is designed to fuck with us. If Citadel was "that DM" that always wanted to tell the story one way over and over again, then Kingfisher represents "that DM" with the mary sue villains with utterly unfair abilities and whose plans always work.

Analysis:
Kingfisher: due to his mimickry of spells, it is inadvisable to use Morningstar or Enlightenment. Because seriously, imagine those fired back at us. If Lea wants a piece of him, I say we give let her. It's not like he's a luchador, too, right? Right? Mage might be another good choice.
No Bones: immune to wrap spells, probably immune to poisons too. Not immune to being COVERED IN BEES, acid, or slash attacks. Tricia might be a good choice.
Probability: Fuck this guy. He's the side character killer. He makes us waste time so that Echo can get his precious feels that sustain his dark soul. He needs to be ganged up on and distracted from helping Kingfisher survive Lea's fury. Ssen and MP.

>He's about to find out what happens to people who take hostages in front of the Paladin Serpent.
They get glared at disapprovingly?

Could we call Odette with the flute?

If so, she could perhaps alter Citadel, that there are intruders in the Throneroom. It's very risky however and has probably some horrible consecuences, i fail to see.

>>27067616
So: toss lea at kingfisher, then attempt to charge probability man so fast you get there before lea does?

>>27067482
>Rouge

This bothered me last time, too. Is it intentionally not spelled "Rogue"?

>>27067634
Alternatively, we all gang up on No Bones because she's the weakest one there. Kingfisher will assume we go after him first, not No Bones.

That was my plan last night, anyway.
Whatever we do, we need this battle over as fast as possible.

>>27067636
Damnit...I've done that screw-up since second fucking grade. Yes, it's supposed to be Rogue Birds.

Anyway, roll for initiative.

First thing? Quick-quick Beacon stab luck-woman in the heart. Then? Begin speech. If he interrupts, use DRAGON VOICE OF JUSTICE on him. Then? After he stops the attack, explain to him, step by step, how we could kill him in a million different ways. >>27067655

>>27067671
You were supposed to roll a third 6.

>>27067671
No, no speeches. They waste time and our friends are dying.
We kill Kingfisher and go immediately to the Heart.

So this is it, huh?

Tonight, a paladin kills a good man.

Sorry!

>>27067682
If we kill luck-woman with one stab, then we get a circumstance bonus on our intimidate check to get John to cancel the invasion.

Also, I meant it as YOU ARE GOING TO STOP SHADOW COMPANY DYING, AND HERE'S HOW YOU'RE GOING TO DO IT- type speech. Brief.

>>27067689
>>27067699
I'm going to rule him as "Trying to do good, ultimately going to do something so terrible that he must be stopped"

>>27067706
He'll just say "no." He's very good at interrupting our speeches.

I doubt we'll kill Probability in one hit. Math is a bitch, man.

>>27067728
More like a good man, but still an utter asshole.

>>27067745

Then we say no louder. We, if need be, can go up to, and including:

>Mother
>Dragon
>Paladin
>Angry Woman
>Literal Poisonous Mouth
>Oh Light, How Many Spikes Does She Have
>Full Bezerker Fury

>>27067792

And we can do all of those together, too.

(Wakari's a guy)
Mage starts up the fight by slamming his staff's head into the ground. The silver floor you're all standing on starts to ripple sightly, and you see it turn into stone.

Mari lights a oil bomb and chucks it at Kingfisher.

>>27067792
Let's just show him those things when we kill Probability and No Bones. Make him realize how utterly fucked he is.

Though I don't really think the battle will go in our favor to that degree. Echo planned this to fuck with us, as stated before.

We might throw her into the fire. Speaking of which, throwing No Bones into the fire might be a good idea. She can have no skin as well!

>>27067942
>Can we even do a Lea toss?
Yes, but you have to delay until her turn.

Math man's gonna be a crazy fight. Bone lady, sort of a wildcard. Currently registering a pretty low threat.

>>27068554
Yeah, but it's better to take her out early on so we can focus on Kingfisher. I don't want to know what kind of bullshit she can pull off.

Rolled 6, 5, 20, 9 = 40

>>27068281
Teo-Has winces and screams as you rip open multiple wounds in her body.

They bleed much less than they should.

Also, you blink in surprise as you see Teo-Has fold a wound inside her own body, fresh skin and muscle covering the tear you already tore open, and when it shifts back over, you see clean flesh. Still, it doesn't look like she can do that trick constantly, and right now, you've caused more damage than she could heal.

Her response is to draw two daggers and lash out at you with two whip arms.

Kingfisher rolls his eyes, and slips on a pair of gloves that he was keeping on his belt. He snaps his fingers, and there's a burst of light, smell of magic, ozone, and stone dust. When the light clears, some of the diamonds, and silver decorations are gone. Kingfisher's holding a ranseur with a silver shaft and a diamond prong. It's identical in shape to Beacon.

Lea does a double-strike attack at Teo-Has

>>27068606
You dodge expertly the flailing limbs, others might be bad at dodging whipping and bladed things, but you wrote the BOOK on this combat...alright you and Granny.

Teo-Has snarls as she twists her neck in a near circle to try and keep up with the combat. That's why Lea's punch to her face snaps her head back around the other way FAST, and when it stops, everyone winces a little when they see that Lea's punch has caused Teo-Has' left eyeball to pop out of it's socket. It's dangling down her cheek by the nerve.

Wakari draws a single short sword and attacks Peri. His fighting method is damn quick, but pretty standard.

Tricia starts to chant and her robes start to shudder. She's calling up her swarm.

Mage slams his staff into the now-stone floor.

Peri does a double strike against Wakari.

>>27068700
jesus christ lea

Thank god we didn't have her hit us back in feast.

>>27068700
Lea is pissed.

>>27068700
A mass of wasps surges out from Tricia's sleeves and descends upon Wakari, who has to beat them out of the way.

You have no idea what Mage is trying to do...maybe...but it seems that he's getting some interference from Citadel. You see wisps of shadow and sparks come up from the floor as he curses.

Your turn.

>>27068724
Turn towards kingfisher and engage in spearmanship. Lea seems to be punching the hell out of boneless, and mathman is distracted.

Competing spear flurries!

>>27068724
spit clear at teo-has's open eyesocket.

>>27068755
No, I think the distraction is exactly what we need. Run past Kingfisher and attack Wakari. Another charge.

>>27068769
This might be good for a parting shot.

>>27068787
>>27068769
I am wincing like a motherfucker over here.

I'm OK with the plan, but if kingfisher starts spittin acid, then I'm going to be grumpy with him.

At least Mage doesn't have some kind of unique signature attack to worry about.

>>27068755
You can't do the spear flurry twice in a row. You need to wait a round for quickquick muscles to recover, or else you'll tear them.

>>27068849
So... eye spit? Or something else? A bite perhaps?

>>27068849
ah, that's fine. Spit at teo-has then. I'm just going to be over here reminding myself that being stabbed hurts a lot too, even though it makes me wince a lot less when reading about it.

Should we use clear or acid? The acid might eat into her skull.

>>27068947
Err... her brain, I mean.

>>27068947
those are both acid, those things you said.

>>27068947
I don't think Black is going to hold her. I say melt her.

anyway, distraction spit then go for kingfisher next round. I care not for type, as I don't... er... I don't think she's going to live. That looks very much like a horrible injury.

>>27069015
yup, pretty sure they have antidotes to black and white

acid is pretty dificult to protect from however.

>>27069034

Every second means that people are going to die. Janos, Cai, Sun, Leslie, Princess...these people are between you and helping them.

You snarl and spit at Teo-Has' face. It's a perfect shot. Your poison spit goes straight into the empty socket with force.

She doesn't scream. She scrunches up her entire face so that it all but disappears and she makes an attempt to scratch at her face...but she stops mid-reach, and then falls to the floor with a thick smack sound. Her skin starts to pool out as her body starts to lose its shape.

Everyone just stares for a moment.

Kingfisher looks at you, mouth open in shock. Then he lunges at you with his ranseur. His face is calm, but you can see that there's just fury and fear in his eyes.

Lea starts to attack Wakari.

Wakari attacks Peri. Again, his style is quick, but average. There's no moves that he's doing that a regular militia grunt would know. The wasps are slowing him down.

Tricia is still chanting and focusing on her wasp swarm.

well, thats four charges on beacon since kingfisher just hit.

Rolled 16, 11 = 27

>>27069274
Ow. Okay...you now have a LOT of sympathy of people who you attack. Ranseurs HURT when they rip open gashes in people's sides.

Lea gets a solid punch in the gut to Wakari.

Wakari swears as the wasps start to sting him enough to make him bleed.

Mage tries his trick with the floor again.

Peri tries to do her sword-dance against Wakari again...but...

>>27069274
ah man poor boneless. Not a great death right there. And this was one of the truly loyal to kingfisher, too. Like if we lost a mage, or a lea.

FUCK YOU KINGFISHER AND FUCK ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS

>>27069291
Agreed. He gets this hit in and then we let loose a Morning Star. Shout "For Shadow Company!" while doing it.

>>27069316
Mage's spell hits, and suddenly the stone around Wakari and Kingfisher's feet turns to mud, slowing both of them.

Still, its weird. Peri's slashes are perfect, and dead on, but...they hit nothing but air. He's just not there where her blades are.

>>27069274
Looks like we hit the optic nerve and from there a straight shot to the brain. I think we might want to use Morningstar after we drop Wakari, so if Kingfisher tries to copy that, he has no allies to buff.

>>27069356
area denial time. trip up wakari. tail sweep and stab on him.

Your turn.

>>27069366
Peri still has those firebombs right? Toss em at Wakeri but don't light them. It's time to oil him up before he goes up in flames.

Kingfisher is now directly stabbing us, I say we beacon V beacon him.

start with perhaps a disarm, or a piercer.

>>27069382

Sheath Beacon. Go full stabclaws on everyone. Yes, I mean quickquickstabstabbite

>>27069400
If we can keep fighting Kingfisher try to move into tail sweep range to hit wakari.

everyone seems to have a different idea on what to do hah.

>>27069382
Warp and disarm against Kingfisher.

>>27069454
this happens sometimes. We have yet to come up with a procedure for it.

>>27069472

I still fully support my idea of rolling inordinate amounts of dice.

>>27069494
I wanted to get beacon stuck in something before full claws, but I'm not opposed to that idea.
Though beastmode VS spear is a tricky matchup.

personally I'm against discarding beacon when we are only one charge away from using it.

Normal attack with beacon while yelling:

{y= sec(X^2)+ln(cos(x)/cox(x+pi))}

>>27069472
I see sweep Wakari, throw an unlit oil bomb at Wakari, wrap and attack Wakari, sweep Wakari/Beacon Kingfisher, flurry Beacon at Wakari, or go claws out at either man.

>>27069515

If we use QuickQuick, then our not-self-impalement score goes way up.

>>27069528
Yeah, but Kingfisher could probably copy it.

>>27069559
>Yeah, but Kingfisher could probably copy it.
That's be hilarious if he used enlightenment on us and just gave us an attack boost.

>>27069559
If he has a Beacon copy then its to late. He has already copied it. What he doesn't have is the charges to use it.

>>27069547
>>27069544
let's just do one more beacon attack and discharge it, then we switch to claws. Okay?

>>27069611

No, he has a ranseur copy. He can't use it to copy Beacon's Enlightenment because we haven't used it yet.

>>27069547
how about if I disregard my own command and go for the sweep/beacon one instead? Would that break the deadlock?

>>27069700

Which one's your command?

Hit his Beacon with our Beacon. With any luck, Beacon will consume his imposter weapon.

>>27069716
disarm on kingfisher, which didn't even make the listing.

>>27069730
>with any luck
>their side has a guy with luck powers

>>27069730
>>27069757
If our Beacon rapes his beacon ripoff hard enough will we get a baby Clang?

I think it's time for the wonderful game, echo picks his favorite. Or voting. Or tossing an 8 sided coin.

>>27069822
no no, you get baby clangs by splitting

>>27069831
Just entered the thread. I say we attack Kingfisher with Beacon, and everyone else teams up on Wakari. With any luck this will allow us to Morningstar once Wakari is down to have everyone swarm Kingfisher.

>>27069831
Alright, so I'm seeing the trend pointing towards attacking Kingfisher. The only question is to how.

So you have options: 1) Flurry (Can only do 2 attacks at this point, wait another turn and you'll get more) 2) Full stab 3) Stab/sweep 4) Forget Beacon and go Claw/Claw/Bite, 4 claw attacks if you go Quickquick (wait for more).

>>27069913
Claw, claw, bite. End this.

>>27069913
Stab/sweep.

>>27069913
3)

>>27069913
Let's go with 3). It's served us well in the past.

>>27069933
erased vote, changing for this since it's similar to what I wanted and what's most important is we do SOMETHING.

>>27069932
sorry guy, not yet. After beacon. he might disarm us, even, and give us an excuse.

>>27069913

Swing with beacon at king fisher, yell math jokes at the math boy to confuse his dodging.

>>27069964
Actaully, don't see why we shouldn't stick with Beacon throughout the entire fight. I'd prefer to go Beacon vs. imposter Beacon instead of claws vs imposter Beacon, since we're not using Clang we can rack up charges faster, and Morningstar is absolutely devastating when we greatly outnumber the enemy.

>>27070001
I like this guy

Kingfisher dodges the tail sweep and you stab with Beacon. He dodges your stab and he grabs Beacon's shaft.

You feel Beacon grow cold, and Kingfisher's ranseur starts to glow and vibrate.

He smirks at you. "Thank you."

He swipes at you with his ranseur.

Lea changes her form from lamia style to a different older style. It's a power-jab.

"Mari! Use Peri's swords!" She yells.

Wakari attacks Lea. This time his attacks are much more graceful and fluid. But the wasps and the mud make his movements rather sluggish.

Tricia continues to make her wasps sting Wakari.

Mage blasts a firebolt at Wakari.

Mari's sword slice at Wakari is a little clumsy, but it does seem that the man is a bit more flustered at his attempt to dodge it than before.

Also Beacon's charges are at zero.

we should hit that tail sweep damnit, that was a solid 17.

>>27070357
Again, Kingfisher stabs you. HARD. His ranseur is now pulsing with light.

Lea and Wakari both miss each other, but Tricia's wasps, Mage's spell, and Mari's clumsy stab all manage to find purchase.

>>27070393
everyone disarm on kingfisher!

>>27070392
Three nat 1s, yo.

>>27070393
tail disarm

We need to end this next turn. He's about to unleash an enlightenment.

>>27070405
not the way the dice system works bro.

Nat 1s cancel the next highest. First roll had 1, 19 and 17 second roll was 5,1,1 leaving us with 17, 1

>>27070393
>Mari's clumsy stab

...an attack from an amateur. God dammit.

The scariest opponent isn't an experienced one, it's a newbie. Because you don't know WHAT that poor fuckers about to do.

>>27070393
I always knew we'd be killed by a spear, one day.

>>27070414
If nothing else we need to try and disarm him.

>>27070437
So disarm with tail and bite him?

>>27070432
Wait, why is Mari stabbing and not Peri?

>>27070445
>>27070393
any chance we could do a double-disarm? using beacon and tail?

Or should we stop attacking with tail, since we got hit like three times already and fuck our life bar is at half

>>27070448
because the math-wiz figured Peri out.

>>27070445
Very much yes

>>27070393
Oh dear

anyone keeping track of Wakari's wounds?

I think he has about 6 in total and that was just half of them.

>>27070445
3rd/4th-ing this.

Hell, bite with quickquick. Cobra strike.

>>27070445
You lunge with your jaws and try to knock the ranseur out of Kingfisher's hand.

I hope!

>>27070526
both hits, no one else roll please.

>>27070448
Peri is a master of knife-combat. Peri is a 14 year-old girl who's never used a knife on anything more threatening than onions.

Peri doesn't know what she's doing. Wakari can't predict where her attack is going even after she makes her attack.

>>27070526
Suck it kingfisher

>>27070540
you -know- we need the third roll.
Which is immaterial because it is present.

>>27070545
Sorry, MARI is a 14-year old girl who doesn't know what the fuck she's doing, therefor Wakari doesn't know either.

>>27070556
I dunno, that doesn't hit our clang-AC, I don't think. It might not hit kingfisher.

>>27070526
You chomp into his free arm, and your tail swings out, knocking the spear out of his hand.

You have a choice, you can pull your bite free or you can try and stay chomped on to him.

>>27070599
Stay chomped. He gets a full dose.

>>27070599
Rip and tear.

>>27070599
stay chomped, pump him with stuff. Black maybe, because I think it acts faster than white.

>>27070605
Wait, no. Scratch that. This might be a Citadel thing. Pull bite free.

>>27070599
Attempt to banter while chomping, then release.

stay chomped. we gotta keep him away from that spear even if he has a knife to stab us with.

next turn we should wrap him up.

>>27070640
>"smucks twuo bwee wwoo"

>>27070599
dose him with EVERYTHING

>>27070599
Stay.

>>27070625
This might be our only chance to quickly end this fight.
Or he could just shank us while we're stuck there, lets find out!

>>27070640
>"Ahurgdafoohau"
>"What?
>spit
>"I've got you now! Damnit!'

>>27070665
You're right. Maybe the banter will help keep us sane.

Echo, how many wounds does Wakari have?

at least he'll have to spend a round getting us offa him instead of doing beacon things

>>27070937

Come on guys. There has to be a reason why Echo asked us whether we want to let go or stay on. We can't fall for his tricks.

Rolled 8, 11, 3, 5, 19 = 46

>>27070665
>>27070646
You stay chomped on.

Kingfisher looks at you, and then at his weapon that's just a few feet away.

He rips his arm out of your jaws, and I mean that as literally as possible. He wrenches his arm free, leaving you with a chunk of him left in your mouth, and blood gushing down his wounded arm, but he's free and grabs his weapon with his other, still working, arm. (He took two wounds to be free automatically)

Lea switches her form again. This one is a pressure point centered style.

Wakari attacks Lea, his form is getting more and more fluid and accurate, but he's still slightly hindered by the mud and wasps, but he's actually adjusting.

Tricia continues to focus on her wasps.

Mage shoots an ice spear at Wakari.

Mari does another clumsy swipe/stab of the blade. Again, Wakari is unable to figure it out.

Rolled 56

>>27070947
we're immune to that now, plus didnt we gain a bunch of immunities somewhere? and anything that could kill us would already have him dead

>>27071008
Did Mari just shank him again?

>>27071008
I wonder if we'll be able to resist eating the bit of arm he left in us.

>>27071008
Spit his flesh out.
"Tastes of treachery and hypocrisy. Awful."

>>27071008
Mage, Lea, and Wakari all miss but Mari's getting kind of good at stabbing him.

Tricia's swarm are still at full fury.

Your turn.

Kingfisher has a ruined left arm, but he's got his charge weapon again.

How many wounds are on Wakari? He should have died by now.

>>27071087
Disarm again.

>>27071087
Flurry and disarm.

>>27071008
"Oh com awh"

>>27071087
Disarm and wrap his arm

>>27071094
he might have some extra wounds. or, he's adjusting attacks to not hit the vitals.

>>27071124
I'm for this. Break his arms.

>>27071165
>>27071124
Okay, you're trying to disarm him, and then wrap your tail around his arm.

Its going to happen eventually.

So... one arm is terribly wounded and the other should be broken.

What do we do with him? He's not going to stop. We should be merciful in our choice of death. He is in great pain already.

>>27071313
Let's be quick about it. That's the important thing, seconds save Shadow Company lives here.

>>27071372
Completely agreed. I'm scared we've wasted too much time already.

>>27071313
I say pick up fake beacon and see if we can get our charges back.

Then enlighten him.

Rolled 14, 8, 13, 2, 1 = 38

>>27071246
Again the weapon clatters to the ground. And Kingfisher snarls as his arm gets snagged in your coils.

He looks at you frowning, and tries to pull free.

Lea's at her last known form which is kick based. She kicks at Wakari.

Wakari attacks Lea. The mud and the wasps are now no longer a problem for him.

Mage lets loose a lightning bolt.

Mari's jumped back and shoots a crossbow bolt at Wakari.

>>27071407
Ouch.

Did we ever find out why it started straight up roasting people instead of hitting them with their own set of sins?

>>27071407
Too much time to figure out. Just stab him in the heart I say.

>>27071430
it hit the paladin lady with her sins.

This is a very unfortunate fight all around.

Rolled 9, 9, 12, 10, 8, 13 = 61

Damn, I forgot Tricia's swarm roll. Re-rolling.

>>27071482
Actually, scratch that. If fake Beacon is close enough slither on top of it so he can't pick it up and stab with Beacon.

>>27071428
Should have stuck with what you were bad at, Mari.

>>27071520
you coulda just rolled one roll for that But whatevs!

>>27071520
A reroll is fine too!

>>27071520
Kingfisher can't pull free.

Lea screams as Wakari's blade hits her in the side. The wound gushes black blood, and Lea staggers back, both hands over the wound, in a LOT of pain.

Mari's bolt hits him, and Tricia's swarm seems to be crawling inside his ears and nose at this point.

Blood is freely dripping out of Wakari's mouth and his legs are shaking. It looks like he's only still upright by sheer will alone.

Your turn.

>>27071623
Pick up fake beacon

>>27071623
Squeeze his arm and flurry stab.

>>27071623
Fuck, lea's in trouble.

Wing kingfisher at wakari.

>>27071550
On third thought, sitting on top of a hostile magic item brimming with charge sounds like a bad plan. Going back to my original suggestion: stab with Beacon and send imposter Beacon across the room with our tail.

>>27071672
Seconding this.

>>27071672
But our tail is wrapped around his arms.

>>27071707
Seriously. Break his arms. I don't understand why we aren't going to end this fight now.

Shadow Company and the Birds ARE DYING. END IT. The other spear is irrelevant if Kingfisher can't use it.

>>27071623
Lea should back off and drink a healing potion. We should get in between Kingfisher and Lea while the others finish off Wakari (hope our tail is long enough that we can also send fake Beacon flying).

>We have him wrapped.
Why can't we just... you know... Constrict him to death like a python?

>>27071778
That's what I'm saying!

>>27071778
Only his arm

>>27071751
I was saying to pick up the bloody thing and see if we can't get our charges back. Then we can enlighten him point blank range

>>27071707
Missed that. Let's pull him away from fake Beacon while putting some hurt on his arms then. Maybe get in a stab with Beacon if possible.

>>27071623
Constrict.

>>27071806
I've been thinking about that, and you know what? Enlightenment might now do diddly squat to him.

Why do we have to Enlighten him? Spearing him in the heart works just as well.

>>27071623
Lets break that arm.

If he can't use his arms, he can't fight.

>>27071830
Cus just spearing him seems god damn bluh as hell and if he dies now, he doesn't learn anything

I agree, cast Constrict on Kingfisher's Arm.

But which is faster? I'm not willing to sacrifice lives to make sure that Kingfisher learns.

Rolled 6

>>27071827
>>27071751
>>27071651

With a squeeze and a little bit of effort, you hear a harsh SNAP and Kingfisher screams in pain.

He does manage to pull his arm free now, but it's limp and turning blue rapidly. You must have cracked the femur, and a bunch of smaller bones are broken. His hand is a mangled mess.

He looks at his broken arm, and his torn up other arm. Then at Wakari who is dying. The pool of matter that was Teo-Has, and then at your eyes.

He only has one chance.

He dives for his weapon.

>>27071880
>cast constrict
>he copies it

>>27071906
I actually agree, but I just had the thought.
Let the Light forgive him. He'd probably have a chat with Dusk too. Might even be waiting for us later.

>>27071920
100% agree. We kill these two next turn and then save everyone.

>>27071938
Good job fucko

>>27071938
You'll have to do better than a 6, Kingfisher.

>>27071938
I'm sorry Kingfisher, but you destroyed all of my sympathy when you used Shadow Company as a distraction.

>>27071938
I really want him to get the weapon.
just because.

>>27071971
I'm not sympathy destroyed. Imagining how this is basically how it would play out if he won and we were losing is killing me.

>>27071920
Death might not save our friends. Enlightenment might do something.

>>27071938
"It's over. Give up now so fewer people die. Please don't make me beat an armless man to death."

>>27072024
dat pun

>>27072005
No. Kill him and run over to the Heart. We need to save Shadow Company.

>>27072041
Wherever I go, I must also pun.

>>27072024
yeah, let's go for a surrender attempt. He's Unarmed.

Rolled 4, 8, 16, 17 = 45

>>27071938
He grabs it with his bloody arm, and tries to pick it up. However, his hand is slick with blood, and torn muscles...so it drops from his hand.

Lea is bandaging up her wound and drinking one of the activated troll-blood potions that you've been carrying with you for ages.

Wakari makes a stab at Mari.

Tricia continues her wasp swarm.

Mage shoots a force bolt at Wakari.

Peri now throws a dagger at Wakari.

>>27072070
Stab him. "This is for Shadow Company."

>>27072086
not our turn yet man.

>>27071938
Point Beacon at him. "End the call and you'll have more time to keep your...friends alive. You've lost. You've killed quite a few women and...children. For your own selfish reasons. I'll even throw in two trolls' blood potions."

>>27072005
Good point. However, that's a might, we'd need to steal charges from fake Beacon in order to do it quickly and we're not sure if that's possible, and taking control of the heart to take the whole thing down would also save them.

>>27072070
Tricia's swarm has lost its fury, but Mage and Peri's missiles find their marks.

Wakari falls face down in the mass of grey mud and blood, dead.

Your turn. (Please remember, battle time is slower time, but Shadow Company is still under attack)

>>27072126
pick up fake beacon and try to enlighten with real beacon

>>27072126
beacon flurry. its the quickest we have to hitting him dead.

JUST KILL HIM
EVERY TURN HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF KILLING OF A SIDE CHARACTER
PLEASE

>>27072150
>>27072147
and what if just killing him doesn't call off the Citadel shit? Enlightenment might do something.

>>27072065
Securing him prisoner would take time, we can't verify anything he says he does to call off the attack on Shadow Company, and if left unsecure he'll just try to stab us in the back when we're in the middle of doing the seal.

>>27072183
>enlightenment might call of the Citadel shit

No it won't. Only getting to the heart will do that. Citadel got aggro'd, it isn't under Kingfisher's control.

>>27072204
He can still close the bloody doors and make alarms elsewhere.

>>27072150
KILLING HIM DOESN'T STOP THE CITADEL FORCES

>>27072070
Give him a chance to surrender, if he refuses then, impale him with Beacon.

>>27072070
Pray for him and end him quickly.
Captcha: never iAnswer

>>27072224
Not without his arms, I am guessing

>>27072225
YOU'RE RIGHT. NEITHER DOES ENLIGHTENMENT, WHICH EATS UP TIME.

>>27072224
>implying he would ever do that
At what point has Kingfisher not been a pain in the ass?

>>27072248
We don't fucking know what enlightenment might do. We do know that just killing the fucker will just not change anything.

You dense motherfucker.

>>27072235
Agreeing with this. Send him off with respect and mercy. End his suffering and let him find forgiveness and salvation in the afterlife.

>>27072143
Worth a shot. Might fry him, might make him see the error of his ways and call off the attack. Either one gets us one step closer to saving Shadow Company.

If the Enlightenment doesn't work just stab with real Beacon to end it quick.

Bite him with black, in the leg, leave. Combat done.
Exactly as fast as killing him.
Just pointing it out.

>>27072291
he would be very, very stupid not to have brought antivenom.

Also you guys, you do remember that Citadel is still taking souls right?

We might just end up with another boss battle with him in the heart room.

>>27072275
You're the dense motherfucker. Enlightenment won't make him suddenly be a happy person who will call off everything. Usually it just knocks them unconscious and sometimes it burns their arms off.

Figuring out how to recharge Beacon will take precious seconds.

>>27072306
That's a fair point. >>27072291 might have the right idea. Just leave him.

Just kill him already. precious time being wasted and we can't afford to turn our back on him.
