WAIT WAIT WAIT I HAVE IT
We get a piece of metal, pry it off the skyship or something
Somebody equips magnet heel
We open the door, distract or lure the slicers for just one second, and put the metal on the outside of the stone
If the connection is strong enough, they should be able to kind of move as though it were metal, thereby walking across the ceiling as we move the plate
We take all the loot, distract slicers for just one more instant, get out and equip our legendary artifacts from ages long forgotten.
Also we can test it on the previous ruins to make sure it works without getting somebody shredded into acid-soaked ribbons when it fails. If, I mean. If it fails.
We didn't get any kind of warning that this side passage won't be available later, did we? Because if not, I'm with monk about force multipliers. We need something truly silly to-
My plan was pretty silly, I think; assuming the place isn't attached to the backwall, fall damage should be able to wipe out the slicers, if not the boss.
I think we were warned about the tunnel closing up, but we should just be able to drill through.
Crap. How much does fall damage do, though? Also, the slicers are probably less of a threat than the boss. We might be better off trying to kill the slicers without waking the boss than disposing of them while aggroing the queen.
OTHER PLAN BECAUSE ALL OF MY PLANS ARE ULTRA PRACTICAL: We get those eggs and raise a usurper, then return to claim
our her rightful throne from this mad tyrant in due time.
