I'll try to continue Kadia's Kamikaze, then.

Oh god, massive fail on my part, I COMPLETELY forgot about their umbilical cords. They're all still umbilically attached to Sin and drawing off her lifeforce. They can't be hurt until those are severed.

Sorry, completely slipped my mind.

Good to know Dante's finally not at a disadvantage.

EDIT: Wait. Can telepathy and telekinesis still be used to "feel" things?

I...don't think so. *Is glad Kadia is on an insane roll of destruction already*

Dante has some time to pick his weapons...unless Suze says otherwise.

We should all *technically* we completely shut down by sensory deprivation, but I'm not going to enforce that since it's pretty damned harsh. (If this was my old DnD group on the other hand...)

Well, this is dramatic. So what are the darkness' limitations right now?

At the least, blindess. Further sensory loss depending on how mean you want to be to your character.

I wonder how Na'lsa is taking this....

Oh...what happens if they bite you...
The Balance you are putting me in these creature's jaws! Rurik, sick 'em!
Locating target...
*Writer runs*

Yes, the biting thing too. Anything else besides the non-healing while the hound lives, bit?

Well, just that it will do catastrophic damage. They could have torn Thomas in half, titanium skeleton and all. They're freakishly strong.

...
*gave me an idea for over-the-top...ness...*

I mean, I feel like I shouldn't be too sadistic towards Dante but his telekinesis is newbie-leveled and couldn't do jack shit if blocked.

Make it so telekinesis is blind feeling, but auras are not, so he can try to move things based on that?

Basically that would throw all of them into the state Dante's soul was in while he was being deadsauce.

*Will post an hour after I wake up*

Umm...Galla may be talking along the lines of some of the nightmares I have... (Give me Xenomorphs any day to that)

Post not proofread. Too late and too lazy. Yeah.

Hmm...does anyone mind Rurik poisoning the hounds connected to Sin, while Kadia attacks 3 with a pair of tornadoes? Oh, and cutting through a group of umbilical chords...
Sounds like too much to me, but I am unaware of what it will take for us to win/survive...

I uh. I don't think they can be poisoned. I mean, I don't think they're completely physical entities.

Well.

No one is "winning" here. Sin is an idealistic entity, she'll endure as long as there is sin in creation.

On your points, there's no such thing as "too much" here, but you do need to justify why and how she's doing that. I will not have these hounds sold short.

I am quite sure they're immune to poison, though.

And cutting the cords would be ideal, yes. As the hounds actually *can* be killed with enough applied force.

You do need to justify how she's not utterly crippled by sensory deprivation, though, too.

But.

I must stress this.

For everyone.

Because this is important.

We are in a confined room, and there are multiple thermobaric missiles about to explode in our vicinity.

For reference: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dW1qkBg8sM

This is a problem for us. Defensive measures should be very much in order.

We are in serious trouble if someone doesn't come up with some kind of shielding. (I wouldn't even be opposed to shooting down the missiles midflight, Diogenes really doesn't care about everyone's lives at this point. This is all-out war as far as he's concerned. People might understandably have a problem with that.) I guess I could always have Sin disintegrate them or something. She probably doesn't really want her hounds to get vaporized.

BUT IF ANYONE HAS ANY OTHER IDEAS....

Dante can't do anything, and Diogenes doesn't care. Sacrificing Rurik COULD possible make for some sort of shielding but I don't think Law and Kadia would be particularly happy with that -- it'd hurt Kadia in a very major way, too. At this point, Nalsa's probably the only one strong enough the stop them or provide some sort of shield.

If it's possible to dig their way underground or run to the chapel which isn't real and go down that way while not dying in the process, that'd be ideal, buuuuuut.

(Also was my post okay.)

Yeah, it was fine Espy.

And maybe everyone should beg Tarja to telekinese something. :P

Also, it's not impossible to think that Zaccheus might resurrect us, since we did do this mission to essentially the best of out ability and discovered a major demon in the process.

I don't wanna die again.

What would resurrection entail? Like, you can't really teleport the bodies straight to Thyatira, and soldiers would have to go into the wreckage to retrieve them.

Actually, there wouldn't even be bodies left, and I'm pretty sure Zaccheus wouldn't be able to reach the lot of us in time to pull the souls back.

He can himself actually teleport, if need be. But that might be more useful in saving us in the first place. I just hate to bring in a deus ex machina like that.

would he turn into sashimi boy

*Is laughing to death*
Well...Kadia is in insane mode...so...Hmm...
Also...tearing apart Rurik would be bad...Na'lsa + Kadia powers + complete insanity bad...
Where are these explosives again? Nearby? Could someone make a fire tornado?
And would Sin make a deal to save mutual hides?

Someone could make a fire tornado, yes. But that probably isn't enough to detonate them mid-air, or not big enough to be able to reach the bombs anyhow before they're too close.

Redirecting them seems more plausible.

Well, she probably doesn't want to lose her hellhounds.
