Walk over to Terrance corpse and say the following:
"Stand down! You may not be alive, but you can think, you are undead it seems. You can either help us and get through this or we can put you back down."
Jack sighs
"Look, I'm sorry that you died, I am sorry my order killed so many...I don't know how I shall really continue with that knowledge other than to get through this to keep Noir alive. Please, help us...help me make up for my mistake. I need you, we need you."
If he doesn't stand down, see if I've my bow on my and arrows, then shoot him. If I have my sword, stab him
You have your bow, and he doesn't stand down. So you shoot at him. You shoot right through Aylia's paw, and into the zombie's armor. Good job there, hero. The limbs continue to wriggle.
Noir nods at Terrance's words and moves back clearly getting away from him
"Sorry sorry I won't get close unless I have to alright Terrance.Sorry if I'm freaking you out or making you mad alright?
Noir looks over at the rope and quietly blinks before she twitches her wings and seems to think.
"Not sure if I could get that rope and get back here easily without worry.
How hard would it be to fly to the rope and fly back here with it? If Terrance does attack either dodge or use my scaled parts to defend.
You should be able to get to the rope and back. The trick is getting to the ceiling to unhook the rope from the rafter.
((I'm currently not up for making Aylia's actual sounds in quotation marks, just please note that she's just making cat-noises so Dar will need to relay whatever she's saying.))
"Dar, could you ask someone to check for the giant jellyfish thing that was eating the area before the Devil thing happened? If it's still coming we can't stay here, and I can't afford to shift, but if it's not then I can take the time to get out of my armor, help retrieve the carts, and get the armor back on."
I'm not going anywhere until I have reason to think the zombipode isn't going to attack teammates. I have no reason to attack zombi-terrance either though.
Well, now you have a reason to attack Jack, anyway. He just shot you in the paw. It hurts. it makes yo uangry. Cat angry.
Team Adorable - Dar'yajira, Metal Cat
Immediately upon Terrance's outburst, Dar'yajira leaps between the Terrapode zombie and Noir, spitting and hissing angrily. He calms a bit as Noir leaves, and Aylia shows herself to not really care about the tentacles, though the metallic fur on his back is still raised like some spiky torture device.
Listening to Aylia's order, he hesitates for a couple seconds, before nodding and saying "Yes, Shifter. This one shall comply." With that, he looks around the room, suddenly realizing that the only unoccupied person still nearby is Samuel. So, he goes to sit down in front of the Cursed One, before requesting "Shifter requests for one to scout. Is..." the cat trails off for a moment, before shaking his head and resuming the request "Is it willing?"
Stay near Aylia, continuing the attunement. Continue watching Jack and Terrance, who are now so conveniently next to each other.
Jack just shot Aylia in the paw. She lets out a deep giant cat yelp and a low, rising growl.
Team Green
I should still have some rope. Use my rope to get Jack's rope.
You place the rope at your feet and stand above it, hands on hips. "ROPE! Fetch the other rope!" You shout imperiously. The rope is unconvinced.
As no rope is available to recover carts right now, I'll just sit down and think.
ZombiPode obviously hates me because of the Devil's wish. (I'm going to refuse to call this my wish, because I never made a contract, or even phrased it as a wish. This was an altogether unexpected and unwanted "gift". It's not clear if the Devil can only give wishes to people who talk to him, people who go through the portal, or if he can just fuck with whoever he likes whenever.) What is unclear is whether or not the Zombie is Terrence revived, or a new undead made under the delusion of being Terrance. Depending on the exact magic in place, it may be possible to convince the zombie that Terrance's death was not my fault, and thus (re)gain an ally.
Also; my magic is of "divine" origin (Our Lady is technically mortal, not a god, but her power is enough to help out a follower in need), not unlike the magic of a cleric. Though I'm only trained in the healing parts, in theory this same power source could be harnessed for other common Clericy things, like seeking "divine" guidance, or countering Unliving forces.
None of that is conditionals, but also none of it has any practical effect, other than prodding the GM to give input on exactly what my options are here.
Isn't your religious group in service to goddesses? That should do for divine connection anyway. Remind me who this 'Our Lady' is. The elven overlord of Terrance's homeplace? You haven't been around Terrance long enough to really know him well enough to say if this is him or a reasonable copy. Aside from the whole issue of being mad at you, he seems like himself ((even if the GM is terrible at RP'ing that)). Let's see. Whoever this Devil is, he is very powerful. Divine level, probably. Could probably override your mortal's assistance. maybe the effects could be countered well enough by an actual divine being. Or another Devil. You notice something else though - the Omega brand on him remains. SO Omega still holds some authority over him. What that means depends on what authority the Brand imparts. Perhaps it wold be best to keep him away from you for now. Have him guard the carts while you are on expedition and out on expedition while you are at the carts. That or just rekill him. he's not technically alive anymore, so you might not be under obligation to your goddesses to provide peace and prosperity to him. On the other hand, he didn't actually try to kill you. He just raged on you. So maybe you aren't in immediate danger for your life. Or you could see about sending him home to Omega. You are sure that they didn't dump you all here to die, after all. They must have a means of returning you there.

"carts falling in circles, they will be back."
wait for the carts to fall past.
count their orbit time.
Okay. When everyone agrees to a time skip, we'll do that. While waiting, you notice a few other objects floating along out there as well.
Really, this place can't have enough mass for anything to orbit very fast. I'd almost expect anything that gets past the horizon to take more than a month to get back.
Also, space here is full of air, so the carts really should be slowed down from orbital velocity by drag.

Sneaky. trying to get ooc information out of the GM by agitating his "this world doesn't work like that" centers. out of curiousity, how big do you think "this place" is?
So I do this now: I go to a widow or something to look outside for the thing.
When I pass Noir I'll say:
"Go on risk it girl. Nothing can go wrong. Don't ya worry."
"So, any of you ladies here lose a husband to death in the past? Can i convince one of you to go look for the behemoth? No? Anyone? Fine I'll do it myself." You march back to the room whee the other half of the group is standing around staring into the sky and shouting at their equipment. Sky is clear. And, after your eyes adjust to the light it is the same sort of dusk level of brightness as it was several hours ago when you arrived in this place.
