Bring up the fact that Riltia was also a dungeon boss like Proxxy was. It might help them get along better.
+1.

Aw... crud...
If Riltia's The Traitor, what if it's not Oric she's betraying? What if she's actually a double agent planted by Oric to keep the cycles under control?

Nah, the line about her praying to the Goddess suggests her allegiance is probably with the Last Seraphim. Which, while not with US, is still against Oric.

What do we know of The Last Seraphim? Are they crazy vengeful? Power-mad? A gestalt of all the previous seraphim and therefore possessing the same dietary requirements? It seems that if the seraphim had reduced upkeep then they could probably manage a much nicer warrens...

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa guys guys GUYS!

I usually lurk, but scrolling through the thread something hit me, something I think MAY have been mentioned and is partially probably fueled by my own ignorance here, but...

(from an older meeting with AG)



geeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
THIS SEEMS RELEVANT, yeh?
Don't go killing off Riltia-- especially because from what I've read people say, Al doesn't trust us in the first place because we quite possibly got the other-Riltia killed off in the FIRST place... and probably other-Ciro in the process.

Addendum: I have no idea what I'm talking about really, but maybe you can glean some use from my ravings here. I DO think we ought to be careful around Riltia, but trying to get her offed is a bad idea.

Maybe the point of tWoOtA is to deconstruct the power of friendship?

Well yeah, what part of "Puella Magi Madoka Fanfic" don't you understand?

Why was A.G. holding on to Goombess?

He had kidnapped her (and subsequently threatened horrific deeds against her) for reasons largely unknown; maybe just to see how we'd react? He's kindof a creepy fuck.

Did you see what I posted before about Riltia previously trying to warn us to "be wary of trusting anyone?"


The other big important piece in this puzzle is Oric trying to make us push Riltia off the skyship. There may have been a lot more to it than regular cyclical soul-farming. Discovering his motives would teach us something important about Riltia.

Does it seem likely to you that A.G. is a lot more important than we think? That he could be the avatar of ffs in the Warrens?

IIRC A.G stands for Andrew Gussie; he's an author avatar alright, just not ours.

Oric wanted us to push Riltia off the skyship for a few reasons:

1: Her Rubric Registar  of ? ? ?, probably Mirror, can reflect attacks back at people, as demonstrated here. Oric was afraid he'd instagib himself if he used his Soul Star on her.

Spoiler: Demonstration (click to show/hide)

2: Oric heavily dislikes wasting Soul Charge by having Siblings die outside of the Soul Charge harvesting mechanisms inside the boss rooms. Since the "real" DL4 is directly below us, its possible that pushing Rilitia off the skyship would have her land in the boss room to have their Soul Charge harvested properly instead of wasted.

3: Oric detests the Siblings co-operating with the Target[Or in general, really], as revealed below:

Another example of the above, during Proxxy's Sibling Orientation:
