"If you can get to me, I'm at the source and could use the help!" Genesis yells toward his needle links.

Resist her magic. Bite my tongue if I have to. Get up and stab her in the chest hole.

"Hey Tess, looks like you got stuck with something a little bigger than what hit me. We're getting close to the heart of things and Genesis is descending downwards so with any luck we'll be out of here soon."

"I don't think there's much I can do for you, and I'd like to rendezvous with Sharpe while I'm on this side of the pit. Do you want me to try getting Debby here or just wait a little while longer?"

"The top just fell off that thing, does that mean they killed it?"
Keep poking the enemy to death with the needle.

"If you can get to me, I'm at the source and could use the help!" Genesis yells toward his needle links.
sniffle
"Shit."
I attempt to get on my feet, and steady myself, verifying I can still hold my needle, re-stabilize my breathing, and take hold of my thread leading to Genesis.

"Damn, alright I need to get to Sharpe on the double. Be careful and stay alive."

Grey makes sure he's got a link with Tess and starts legging it towards Sharpe. My mental map of the battlefield is a little fuzzy but it should be a straight run from Tess to Sharpe without anything in between I reckon.

Remember that Grey's needle spell protecting everyone from one (1) instance of harm is still active, so if Genesis catches a heart attack or the like it 'ought to keep him alive for a bit.

Hugh pulls the thread linking him to Genesis.  When he arrives, he attempts to eat the mannequin’s ability to speak while also stabbing her with his needle.

Ho! Ho!  Have at thee, Witch!

You climb out of the half destroyed house and sprint on up to the edge of the crater containing the town. You follow the edge back towards Sharpe and find her still spraying that destructive silver force down at any clusters of hostiles she notices.

"That was the destroy corps." She says, unprompted as you skid to a stop. "They've got to be near.  But they can't use those scissors of theirs if the target is underground. They'd cut a slice of the world off..."

"The top just fell off that thing, does that mean they killed it?"

About a dozen more look to be coming towards you but a spray of silvery magic from Sharpe on the hilltop obliterates them.  For the moment, things seem safe here.

You shuffle forwards towards her, feeling very heavy. She speaks again and you nearly collapse but manage to keep your legs under you. You notice, vaguely, that your mind isn't getting taken over like Grey's was. Hmmm. A consideration for another time.

[4,3][6,1] (fate point to Tess)
Tess and Hugh appear next to Genesis. Hugh appears in good spirits, though as soon as the sound down here hits him he does start bleeding from the nose. Tess seems completely immune to whatever the voice of the target is doing, but perhaps that only because she's just barely keeping on her feet and using her needle as a crutch.  Hugh bites the air again and the sound around the three Homunculi seems to grow just a bit muffled.

The ancient homunculus stops for a moment and then begins singing a different song.









Up top, several things fly in like an artillery strike  and slam into a more northern section of town, demolishing several buildings. They seem to have come from the forest to the south and were metallic.

Lift my needle against the thing attacking Genesis and unleash the magic it has stored within it with the singular direct command to MAKE. IT. STOP. Spend two fate points upon this attack.
afterwards grab my other thread, the one leading to Grey, and get out of here having done what I can.
Edit: to make it easy to see what Tess's needle is charged with, she charged it once from stabbing The Hammer, aka the giant shark-thing from last mission, and it has been charged once more from killing one of the gourds that were full of the local magic. That's the magic she's unleashing here.

"Genesis tells us that he's at the source. If you want to capture this thing, now's the time."

Provided Sharpe agrees Grey takes hold of her and teleports down to the pit through Hugh's link.

"They're bombing the town, seems like we need to stay away from the buildings."
Make sure Elizabeth is still with me and look over the dead plant people and see if they have anything useful on them, also if any plant monsters get close shoot themwith the rifleaxe,

"The Kill Corps must be almost here. Debby, we should probably retreat south, so we don't become collateral damage."

Aaron sticks out in the open with Debby, impaling hostiles if necessary. He also attempts to know if the sound from the thing in the crater causes long term harm to the hearer.

(Action modified.)

Fort is running at 21 FPS, the ground is having a panic attack in places, and what looks like a conga line of zombified Hungry Heads has formed on (I think) Z-level 32 of the caverns.
