Couldn't we just hop down with Riltia?  Technically does exactly what Oric wants, we have the Astral Influx so can switch if we're stuck in Limbo, and Riltia can use her guard ability to guard against taking damage from the fall, while catching us.

This is a good idea, but there are a few problems with it.

Problem #1: We're not 100% sure that jumping off the cliff will bring us to the next floor. Even if it normally would, DL4 might play by different rules, since it's in the sky.
Problem #2: We can barely fight DL4 enemies, let alone DL5 ones.
Problem #3: Ripriver is already upset with us. We don't want to make him even more upset.

[flame99]

Wait.

Ciro: Go full jackass. Pick Riltia up. When Oric inevitably asks and/or threatens us, state that we technically pushed her up, and off of the Skyship Serebela.

For bonus points, make a bet that we can comply without harming any member of our party, and without separating Riltia from the party, while staying on the Skyship ourselves.

All evidence points to the drop not being a real problem, and even if it is, we have 2 backup plans.
Riltia can fight against DL5 enemies, as she's been running around solo for a while with no real problems.
Do we really care about Ripriver?  Do we care about him more than Riltia and Oric?

+1

Have everyone sit down

There, now he can't kill you because you're not standing.

+1

Perfect logic. 8/8 looks gr8 m8, +8

Also, Ask Oric why he wants us to kill Riltia

OK, +1 to this.

[Dermonster]

But I already suggested that.

Have Riltia stand on our hands, continuously push her into the air.

He said off, not over.

(Edit: Rolled a 1d20 acrobatics check, got a 20.)

Ah, so you did. +1 to yours, then, with the bet implied by Flameboy's version.

[IronyOwl]

Bloodshape rope. Tie rope to Riltia. Hold rope. Push Riltia off the ship. Then pull her back up.
Follow Oric's orders and still keep Riltia alive.

+1

Take Riltia and slip her the Magnet Heel secretly. Tell her to use it and push her off so she sticks to the side of the ship.

+1 to obeying letter while violating spirit


Looks like we're doing the other thing though, which should be interesting.

Bear in mind he said to take her outside first.

Also this might just get him to revise his wording.

[flame99]

Good point. Take Riltia outside, *then* pick her up.

Okay, so, current vote count:

Make rope, tie rope to Riltia, push off edge (3): +NAV +Lyeos +Furtaka +IronyOwl -monk12
Give Riltia magnet heel, push off edge (7): +Solymr +flameboy99 +Slayerhero90 +Cptn Kaladin +Worldmaster27 +Furtaka +flabort -monk12 +IronyOwl
Attack Oric (1): +10ebber10
Copy Oric (5): +Tomcost +Elephant Parade +Cptn Kaladin +Worldmaster27 +flabort
Ask if we can have free chance to kill Oric if we do (1): +Shadestyle
Tell Oric where he can shove his soul star (4): +monk12 +Shadestyle +swordsmith04 +Aedel +Omeganaut -flabort
Pick Riltia up (4): +Dermonster +flameboy99 +Wolfkit +flabort
Greet Riltia (2): +Eotyrannus +birdy51
Refuse and say her gear/inventory space is necessary to party (1): +javierpwn
Sit down (6): +Xantalos +Shadestyle +flameboy99 +Elephant Parade +Objective +NAV
Ask Oric why he wants Riltia dead (1): +Wolfkit

95% chance of there being a 50% chance that this is accurate.

[hops]

Jump off the airship along with Riltia, then switch narrative control to Al.

[fractalman]

+1 to
copy oric, magnet heel.

- 1 to telling oric where he can shove his soul star.  No sense giving him a petty reason to hold a grudge.

[RanDomino]

+1 to giving unorthodox inventory management suggestion, while blatantly giving Riltia the magnet heel and nudging her off, while everyone else casts all buffs available and Kit-kat kopies Orik

[RAM]

Kit-Kat: Copy enough of the airship to achieve stable flight.
Everyone: Start a *large* fire and then jump-ship and ride Kit-Kat to glory.

[hops]

Well, to be fair, "Non-Illborns" also include airships....

[javierpwn]

He also, is not likely to prematurely end the cycle; but if he sees that we genuinely care about Riltia, he might deem that potential abnormality as a threat to the Cycles, and kill us.

Minus was uncaring for whatever Past Riltia was called, only using her for the inventory space and dumb fighter strength.
If we care, it's probably an abnormality.
