What harm could come from preventing it? Ask yourself both. An observer. And arbitrator, from time to time."well that depends, can they still be branded with her magic? Does she live in an isolated area, free of colateral? Given our purpose and our last mission, I cannot condone letting a massive titan wreak havoc on a town, and I also cannot condone them being subverted to wreak havoc on a different town."

They could be. And no, she lives in a town of 439 people. "Allowing the constructs to enact vengeance for the murder of their master would be just. However speaking as someone who has to clean up the mess, I would prefer that justice did not take the form of open warfare. I do not know what it takes to destabilize a region with magic, but I think the fighting between a mage and one or two hundred extremely magical constructs, and the eventual destruction of one of those two parties could be enough to do it."
"I say the frog should be stopped, for the sake of preventing the fallout that could persist for years to come."
Grey speaks his mind and looks around to see if the stone truck from earlier can be seen in the distance.

It is indeed. Liz is still with you, sitting in your arms. She seems kind of...distant. Just sort of looking at the sky.
"I don't think I know enough to properly answer, to be honest, but if you want me to make my best attempt I can try. I would like to attempt to talk them out of it, allow an impartial party to provide their retribution, to give them justice and consolation instead of vengeance and satisfaction. But if justice can't be otherwise served, then I'd let them go about it. I don't think murder should go unpunished, I just think revenge creates additional victims and harm, and leaves behind an emptiness when you get your revenge and realize that it doesn't make anything better."

Anagramist: They are able to transmute objects into other objects. This is done by rearranging and/or removing letters from the name of the object. For example, “Keyboard” into a Key, a Boar, an Oak, or a Year. They can only use this power on physical objects they can hold, and the object's name is defined as "Material Object". So "Plastic Keyboard" or something like that.
A curious answer. Not quite here or there. Youare speaks directly to the strange figure.
"We aren't here to dispense justice. We're here to pacify a structure. Presumably before it commits any massacres. We shall not let them go. Further help would be appreciated, but we will pursue the frog regardless."
Youare looks around for the conduit after speaking, making sure it's reasonably safe.

Sadly it is not. At least nowhere nearby. Hell, even those ruins you started in are nowhere to be seen.
Add my thoughts to the mix.
"I think I would like to see this through. I don't think this Elias would like to see his adopted daughter's home engage in war like this. I agree that we should at least try to turn them aside and bring justice rather than revenge. I don't know anything about the previous mission these others were on, but I suppose we should try to protect civilians as well.
But what is the second question only we can answer, sir?"
He nods to the first phrase, but the second one draws a more somber reaction.
I'm afraid it is. Name: Greed

try to make a laser. even if that fails try to bend light so that none of it reaches the nearest persons eyes.
[1][+1 fate point]
Over a little ways from the group, Greed attempts to summon a laser. He...kind of does. Its less like a laser and more like a flashbang. Minus the bang, and with the flash turned up to 11. Then turned up some more. Then turned up so far the knob got twisted off. The only positive thing is that because he's an elemental he can't HURT himself with his element. But he does blow off his gloves, most of his robe, melt his two swords, and render himself temporarily blind. He does, however, get an instant tan. Sexy.
The man listens to everyone and then nods to himself. Without a word he turns back to the horizon and the Toad slowly vanishing into the distance. The man reaches out and...plucks the frog off the horizon. Its just as small as it was at a distance, but now held between his two fingers. He looks at it curiously for a few moments before carefully placing it in his pocket. He pats his pocket gently and says something too quietly to hear before turning back to the group.
Now, the second question. He points at Genesis.
Should he live?
