The Arx tries the fast way down. After all, what's a little terminal velocity between a flying mountain and a hard place? Plus, it probably still counts as a landing if you're in contact with the surface at the finish, even if you're in several thousand far-flung pieces. Really, if you think about it, crashing is just minimum viable product!

Grickx tells his foes to chill out. Cool Ranch Vons grapples with his situation. Wealdroa has THAT ex show up at a party. Nacho Cheese Vons finds a new and exciting use for glue. Steamboat Willie meant to hit that. Jyessi leads by example.

Okay, phew. That's the first wave (almost) down, and (mostly) everyone's still alive. What else could they have to throw at the Arx?

Oh. Oh my.

It's time for the party to dramatically lean over a map, point at things, and make strategic choices about where to assign their tactical resources. Because what are the friends you made along the way, if not ablative armor and/or cannon fodder? I mean, uh, loyal battlefield allies! Yes. That.

It's time for one last level up before landing this thing! Everyone grows immeasurably in power, by which I mean incrementally and in a way defined by exact numbers. Basically the same thing. Also, potions are distributed the PCs, as well as the general populace. Because SOCIALISM.

The party crams in some last minute studying before the exam. And by studying, I mean pharmacological research, and by exam, I mean "holding the line against a Corrupted horde." So it's still basically the same as when you learned the entire textbook the day before your class final in college.

Jyessi remembers the forgotten. Grickx carries. Wealdroa's knowledge of coconut magic is tested. Vons does his own research.

The second set of drills is here, and the party practices their own parts in this master plan. How well will they do when they're the grunts, not the commanders? Like, that sounds like it could be hard??

Drill time! It's drill time! The party drills the Arx citizenry on what to do in case of a landing during a Corruption onslaught. Will they manage to whip these folks into a focused fighting force? Or is everyone going to be goofing off while the teacher desperately tries to get their attention?

Steamboat Willie's fighting a moose! A corrupted moose! With no backup??? Everyone else scrambles to figure out a way back to help, but in the meantime we get to see how well sheer courage and audacity stack up against over 1000 lbs of raw, furious strength made flesh.

Cool Vons goes around the back. Steamboat slickens his spear. Grickx busts out the Elven. OG Vons claims ownership. Jyessi dreams of bare-knuckle boxing. Wealdroa struggles to discern between the dream and the real.
