Stacy quietly sings the ode to Sandy as he's being dragged. He's gonna have to get up those stairs, he thinks.
Get dragged/hobble up the stairs and over to the palace entrance. Make sure to watch the skies and warn the guy carrying me of any hostile ice.
As an idea comes to him, Stacy melodically intones at his brave rescuer.
"Good sir, perhaps you'd prefer not to drag me around and instead just let me hobble along with you? If I get speared by ice, you are likely to not survive, either, not with the suit you've got. Not to mention that speed is more important than shielding in this situation, no?"
You and your human crutch catch up with the rest of the team.
(( I'm with Feyri. I think our slim chance of survival just turned into complete and utter doom. ))
...Steve... what was that? Please tell me that wasn't 'the work undone' becoming suddenly and explosively irrelevant... Actually, scratch that, tell me it *was* and then tell us where the shuttle is.
(( Reposting this with my action, since I didn't get a response 
Note to self, bold chocolate glowy text does not attract PW's attention. Add more bold next time XD ))
White and humanoid... So, either Faith just got violently ejected from the palace, or their sun god just exploded.
Run towards the garden, slowing down a good ways from the white form. Stop approaching when I can identify who it is. (mainly Faith / not Faith)
Check that my scout eye has been well and truly obliterated.
Your scout eye is well and truly fucked.
You run over to where the body fell from the upper levels of the palace. It's starting to get up and you can immediately tell it's not faith. It's a man-or you think it's a man- in massive white ballistic armor- carrying an amp studded club in one hand. The armor on the left side of his chest is partially cracked and smashed.
Considering the way he's lifting his club and charging you; he doesn't seem friendly.
Charles continues running the fuck away way, he cautiously moves to be as far away from the figure as possible while still running away from the expanding field.
You continue up to the palace and hide as far from any possible encroaching terror as possible.
((Are we seeing the humanoid thing?)))
Enter the palace with the rest of the team. Watch out for any movements or anything strange. Get ready to enter BT mode to fight or to evade debris.
Hey everybody, the big mass of cold is coming and something is inside the palace, but we have better chances there. Let's enter the palace and get ready for the fight. Everyone who can fight in the front and the midgets and limbless behind. We better watch out for anything. Can someone look for the white thing that fell out the palace? I think it's Faith or the one we had to protect.
You enter the palace and hang around near the entrance. The place looks like it was quite opulent at one point, but it seems like it's been recently stripped of valuables. You don't see anything particularly dangerous; just a big empty hall, looted by the rich and now sheltering whatever survivors managed to make it up this far.
((Welp. Lost everything.))
((not the most important things. all you've lost is stuff. not your life, your mind/skills, your memories, or your friends.))
Look around for some protection from flying ice shards and take cover, shielding myself/others if necessary.
Once I'm under shelter, fall onto my knees, leaning forwards while cradleing Feyri's head against my chest, eyes closed, and cry.
if someone tries to apply first aid to my injured left arm, limply offer it to them and let them do their thing. beyond that mostly ignore those around me once I'm under shelter.
You hide in the palace with Renen and cower in the corner, crying as ice rains down outside.
>Shuttles are enroute to your location. I would recommend Clearing the LZ.
