Lolgrammoth(1) emits a solar flare at Bernhardt, easily able to target any place in the sphere with this fearsome weapon he created. (( Andbecause he is the only one with enough health to stand a remote chance to survive a hit dammnit!)). [3+4] vs [1] Perk check: [38]. [48+50] vs [1+2]. Alice perk proc! TN check to cast a heal that would be high enough to make him survive 95 damage [6].
Bernhardt stood as frozen as he is struck with a sudden premonition of his imminent death. The vision was so vivid and painful, he didn't actually notice when the real hit came. The real hit incinerated his nervous system too fast for him to feel the pain. But the vision made him endure the whole thing. Alice reached out to save him, but her concentration, wittled down by almost an entire day of continous battle and seeing Winry die, failed her. All she could do was reach out, as Bernhard was annihilated...
Or so was his vision.
Something...something he can not quite put his hand on gave Alice a hand. ((And it was not the GM.)) As if a fundamental force was boosting her to succeed, her mind begins racing. Fixing. Reconstructing. Tissue regrows, faster than it is burned. Bernhard dies, time and time again, to be instantly be brought back by Alice suddenly not so stupid choice of a perk. The pain is not just immense, it is maddening. But by the time Alice work is done, Bernhard is still standing. He...he might want to sit down though...
"Ohyouhavetobekiddingme."

"NowhowmanyofyourfriendsshouldIkillbeforeIsendyoutothem?"
The sky burns with another flare, as suddenly Hakim [7-2] vs [5+12] is [17+25] vs [7+4] is pretty much just inconvenienced by the waning power of each successive blast. He takes 31 damage!
Sen is unconscious.
Tobias heads to the beach! ETA 1 turn.
Hakim, hanging onto his life by the massive size of his testicles armor alone, decides to up the manliness ante by picking up Sen and delierving her to the Nomad, to safety!
----
Lolgrammoth coughs. "IsaidHowmanyofyourfriendswillIkill!"
Another flare, now very noticably smaller is emitted, headed towards Tobias! [9] vs [2+1] Tobias fucking dodges! Lolgrammoth grits his teeth, becoming increasingly frustrated...this might not be good. The last time he was frustrated about getting hit, he created a miniature sun..
Walpurga is at a loss on what to do...if she attacks Lolgrammoth now, bad things might happen...she decides to stay ready to move Linda, should Linda need to be moved!
Linda fights the curse! [10+2] vs [48], but Lolgrammoth has even erased the memory of how moving *feels* like to her. In fact, her vision is noticably stuttering, only seeing a load of still images, but no motion.
Marilyn watches her ally bleed to death, as Sydney bleeds for 3 damage...
Kaiser covers the ground Lolgrammoth is on with nanomush. His feet are covered, all 12 of them!

"Okayyouknowwhatthisintimidationthingismakingmetiredjustdie!"
Lolgrammoth opens another solar flare, aimed at Linda! Walpurga help proc! Naturaly, there was no way someone would be able to react fast enough to dodge a solar flare at basicaly point blank range. But. Something is guiding Walpurgas hand. The same fundamental principle that guided Alice hand. But...but what is causing it? Walpurga pulls Linda out of the way, the solar flare turning the beach into glass.
Alice..keeps on walking I guess...ETA to beach is 2 turns.
Bernhardt heads towards the beach. ETA 1 turn. Also he needs psychotherapy.
Alucard begins his magical work! [18], he made significant progress on the circle. Sadly he had to draw 5 health of worth of his blood to do so...
----
"YOUCANNOTDODGEMEFOREVERIAMEVERYWHEREATONCEYOUBITCH!"
[43+6] vs [10+2+16], a solar flare, now almost *tiny*, but still a devastating force of annihilation, is send towards Linda, consuming the very last of the miniature sun in the process. Unable to move, Linda takes the the attack for 25 damage! No...what is this, Linda should have been dead. Kaisers armor is strong, but not that strong. But...*something* reinforced it. Nobody who saw any of the above events could have missed this. This armor just took way more damage than it should have. Regardless, Linda is at -6 hp, and bleeding out. She has -4 to go, until there is no healing magic, beyond perhaps necromancy, that could bind her soul to this devastated body.
Dalia curses Lolgrammoth! [14] vs [21]. Or would. Dalia would curse Lolgrammoth!
Catherine has a nice trip on the Nomad!
Hilda heads to the beach! ETA is 2 turns!
---
Ashley, seeing that there is no longer any danger of the sun exploding, stabs Lolgrammoth, rapier of creation in her hand! [12] vs [78], but whatever was guiding the others, it seems to have abandoned her, as Lolgrammoth, without even looking at her steps out of the way.
The edge of the beach is filling with people. Several hundred by now at least, and all armed to the teeth. Lolgrammoth, having spent his impressive offensive arsenal looks down, before looking at the sky and laughing, A fell, echoing and suprisingly slow laugh.
"You think me cornered? Think again. The prison lasted hardly long enough for these people to even learn what hunger really means, and yet it was enough. I planted a seed in their heart. A seed I can force to grow. GERMINATE! GROW, SEED OF BETRAYAL!"
And silence. Silence as the people who have cornered the beach, and who are also starting to circle those left in the streets raise their weapons and take aim. At the northsdale group.
