has anyone considered that Ritlia might not be to blame for this? In the panel where Ciro's star is corrupted, she's busy stabbing one of the Suckers.

The only sapient being not acting in that panel is Cherish. The others are all occupied. We still don't know what Cherish's star does...

Anyone in favor of inputting some random values into the Catalyst and seeing what happens?

It's been noted several times that this appears to be little more than an unreliable narrator...While Cherish *might* be to blame here, it doesn't seem worth inputting random coords and potentially causing something very bad to happen.

That we're merely being "lied to" is certain, by now. The motive of Riltia's lying is what's worth worrying about.

If she wants to betray and kill us all, that's bad. Even if she turned on us right now, we'd be extremely lucky to escape without characters dying. If she turned on us in the middle of a tough combat, we'd be instantly doomed.

Remember, though, that Riltia herself tried to warn us that "no one is who you think they are". Hence for that reason I think her motives are not completely evil. She may have corrupt forces working on her, however - what with her "dream of great power" moment earlier - but even that may be her dissembling and somehow simply trying to present herself as evil.

Nobody ever found a way back up to DL1.
Clearly, we need to find the right square and then employ Magic Ladder Travel through the ceiling to get back up again!  :D

-1. We should try it, but not now - and not with random values. Let's not give FFS that cookie!

We need to get healed up. And we need prepare for the event that only the active party / only Cherish herself are transported.

Though have Ciro make a ranged weapon first and absorb the sword.
+1.

Also, have Cherish heal Riltia and Slog (who is in 1-hit-kill territory - well, with 4d4 attacks on the table, we all are, but especially Slog), put a Bulwark on Riltia, and, and... erm... give that tie to Al as well.

I want to see at least one more room of this hive before it becomes an impregnable fortress!

EDIT: Honestly... Why are we not giving each and every character mega-souped-up Bulwarks while abusing the SP fountain, each time before cheesing SP to super-maximum level?

Heck, she tried to warn us from switching to her in the first place. "Wait!"

This sounds like an actual plan. +1

At first I thought Bulwarks had some sort of duration, but, looking back at it, it seems it does not. That seems a bit more OP than abusing fountains.

This is what happens when you get complacent, kids.
Remember, FFS is a real person and as such the game can be changed nearly at will by him (apart from narrative contraints), so try to keep quiet about it and perhaps PM others.

FFS, please don't blow up the fountain. Where else will we heal up after levels? Can you instead nerf the bullwarks by forcing them to instead take sp per turn to maintain? Or maybe instead give them a duration?

Blowing up the fountain will cause more problems other than nerfing the bullwarks.
