I actually think I panicked during the last choice and chose to wark wark run around and kick everything. The Kitty thing could have worked if Kurt and Hawke were better at getting our allies. |

Besides the only thing that I think died was Crow's sanity and patience.

Yes, Crow's sanity and patience are at 0 but this is the final vote there's nothing you can do to possibly extend this EVEN if you get Lily killed it's over and done!

I'm sorry for snapping at you, X. Didn't mean anything personal about it, but there's just an IRL reason I'm not responding fondly to being a scapegoat right now, even as a joke.
Just yell out "Risen" to do A B and C at once. Maybe it'll draw attention to Lily, but I just want to pretend this trainwreck filled with cat feces never happened.

I just want to pretend this trainwreck filled with cat feces never happened. I know everything looks bad, but tbh things could be going way, way worse. There were about... 4 moments that everything could have gone horrible. And they all got avoided. This isn't going great, admittedly, but I'd call it... eh... 40% good. |

Thats fine Emppy I am sorry if it came across as Scape goating you. It was suppose to be more like Emppy what are we suppose to be doing ahhhhhhh panic panic ahhhhhhhhhh we are screwed. But it seems like we are not completely screwed or not as screwed as we could have been.
So umm the only real question I have is umm did we permentaly lose any party members? Not because we got them killed but we pissed them off or turned rhem off that badly?

It turns out that not only was Tony a potential party member, but he had FE6!Karel growths, is statistically the best possible father for six 2nd (3rd?) gen characters, and could solo the secret boss with the right skillset. |

"Risen!" Lily screams.
The guard starts awake. He sees one of the two Risen shambling towards him and fumbles for his axes. He manages to wrap his hand around the handle just in time to parry the Risen's downswing.
The other Risen sets its sights on Lily. It shambles towards her. The pirate shows no interest in trying to protect her, he's busy defending himself. The Risen raises its claws towards the helpless princess and slashes her. Lily can tell she's dying.
Zenia kicks in the door, sword already drawn. She cleaves through the Risen looming over Lily without hesitation. She turns and slashes the other Risen in the back.
The guard looks at her, panting. "Ha... Thanks. I-"
Zenia grabs the dead Risen's axe and slams it into his neck. She whirls about towards Lily. "Got here too late, the Risen had already killed the guard..." she mutters to herself. She storms over to Lily, makes sure no one's watching through the door, and hacks through Lily's wrist restraints. "Princess had cut herself free."
Lily stares at her. It's like she's... rehearsing. Zenia pulls her up, shoves a Concoction in one of Lily's hands, and a knife in the other. "What are you...?"
"I didn't see she was hiding a knife..." Zenia continues. She grabs Lily's wrist and forces her to stab her in the shoulder. "She stabbed me... and ran... Up the stairs. Quickly. It was her last chance, and she was desperate." Zenia coughs, and gives Lily a smile. A crazy smile. "That outfit's a lot better for swimming..."
Zenia backs up against the wall and sinks to the ground.
"Lily!" someone calls.
Lily looks up to see Isana and Hawke waiting down the hall. Lily shakes off her shock. She quickly slashes through her ankle restraints and jumps up. She collapses to her knees and realizes how heavily she's bleeding. Lily forces herself to chug the concoction. It's enough that she manages to get back on her feet and start running. Without thinking, she pauses to grab her dancer's veil as she leaves.
Isana guides the others along the hall, up the stairs, and onto the deck. They pass by a pair of guards, but the guards don't even notice them. They're too busy running down the stairs with buckets of water.
On the deck, they can see the ship is in chaos. There seems to be a fire in the hold.
Isana doesn't hesitate. She drags them to the side of the ship, climbs up on the rail, and urges the others up.
"I can't swim..." Hawke exclaims.
"Time to learn!" Isana physically shoves him overboard, then dives in after him.
Lily hesitates for a second, then dives in after her. She was ready for the water to be cold. She didn't expect the pain. The clothes may be better for swimming, but open wounds are not... She can feel herself starting to go into shock, then starting to sink. A hand grabs her and pulls her back up.
"G... Gale..." Lily mutters. She hugs her lapin lifesaver as hard as she can.
"I've got you, Lily, I've got you..." Gale promises. She pulls Lily up higher, trying to protect her wounds from the water. Lily knows she won't drop her. Gale's a great swimmer. This is the safest Lily's felt in days.
The ship is sailing off into the distance as Lily looks for the others. It's hard to see in the dim moonlight. Isana, like Lily, seems to be struggling to deal with a lot of pain. Kurt's doing his best to help her. Storm and Keith are holding Hawke between them.
...But now they're out here in the middle of the ocean... Alone. Lily wonders whether staying on the ship would have been the wiser option.
"If we live..." Gale starts. "If we don't drown... I'm going to kill her."
Gale seems to be staring at Isana...

Kurt adjusts his grip. "Are you OK, Isana?"
"Y-yeah..." she says. Then she drops her voice so no one else can hear. "...No. No, I'm not... It hurts. It hurts a lot."
"Your injuries were-"
"Not just that. It hurts inside. I didn't want Lily to get hurt. She's been so good to me. Zenia promised... I just don't understand..."
"You of all people know that people lie," Kurt says.
"...My entire plan's in tatters... I don't... I don't know that we'll be able to save the world like this. The war's still going to happen and everything's going to end. I don't even think we'll survive the night..." Isana sniffles.
"Don't worry about that. We're going to be fine," Kurt promises. "Hey, c'mon. You're a dancer, right? That's what you like, not all this subterfuge, isn't it?"
"...Yeah," Isana admits.
"Well. Dancers are supposed to give people hope and happiness. Won't you at least give me a smile? C'mon, even just a small one?"
Isana forces a weak smile.
"There we go. I feel better already. Thanks, Isana."
Gale's ears twitch as she listens in on their whispered conversation. She swims a bit closer, still clinging onto Lily. "Right, just keep smiling. Don't worry about everything you did to us," she spits.
Isana's smile fades immediately. "I... I'm sorry."
"So I've heard. Y'know what 'sorry' doesn't fix? Scars. Trauma. Death." Gale is unusually angry. Lily can't actually remember seeing her this angry... ever. But Lily barely has the strength to stay conscious, much less stop her.
"I... I know."
"Do you know? I want you to look at Lily. Look at her back. Look at these scars! And I had to listen to her suffering the whole time! Chained up like some mindless beast...!"
Kurt cuts in. "That's not fair, Gale."
"Isn't it!? And why should I care about fair!?" she demands. Tears are streaming down her face. "All for some stupid plan that you won't even share with us!"
"I'm sorry. I should have told you. I should have trusted you all more. I should have let you help me think of a better way..."
"Yeah, you should have!" Gale screams. "Was it worth it? Was your stupid plan worth all this!?"
Isana closes her eyes. "...Yes. Gale, I... I used to be with the group that's trying to start this war. That's... why I know what they're trying to do. They want to kill Lily, and Rand, and her parents. They want to kill Kurt and Storm, Quinn and Sylvia, Alice... and all the rest of them! The attack at Trine, the ambush in Merdia, Zenia's orders to kill Lily... They would've already succeeded if my partner and I hadn't...!" Isana trails off. She's breathing heavily. "Everything's gone so horrible...! I don't... expect you to thank me... For anything." Isana reaches into her pocket and produces a small stone. She reaches out to Gale and makes sure the taguel has a good grip on it.
"...My beaststone?" Gale asks.
"Zenia gave it to me. To give to you."
Gale bites her lip. "...We're still going to die out here," she reminds everyone.

"You doing OK, Hawke?" Storm asks.
"...I'm very much not enjoying myself," he admits.
"I can't believe you don't know how to swim..." Storm says.
"Well. I can't." Hawke seems annoyed. "I never had a chance to learn between learning to fight, learning to survive in the wilderness, learning to cook, learning to be a mercenary, learning to fly a wyvern, learning court manners..."
"Sorry, sorry... I'd offer to teach you sometime, but I doubt there's going to be a time you need it more than now. Still, what if something happened to one of your charges and they fell in some water?"
"Normally I'd have Grimm to help fish them out."
"Your wyvern, huh? Heh." Storm sighs. "So, what are you gonna do if- er, when we get out of this?"
"Nothing. Go back to guarding the princess."
"Even after all of this...?"
"Yes. It's my duty. You weren't thinking of abandoning your knighthood, were you?" Hawke asks.
"...The thought crossed my mind. I guess I can't let you show me up, though." Storm groans. "This is a really crappy way to go, though. I figured it would be in... some... huge battle?"
The two look up and notice a figure silhouetted against the dark sky. There's a sound of heavy wingbeats.
"That sound..." Hawke raises his hand to his mouth and whistles. A shriek comes from the figure. It comes diving down to circle the group floating in the water. "Grimm!"
The wyvern shrieks again. It sounds concerned.
"Go to the princess, Grimm!" Hawke orders. The wyvern obediently flies towards Lily and hovers. "Help her up, Rabbit!"
"Yeah...!" Gale holds Lily up as best as possible. The wyvern reaches down and grabs her in his jaws. Gale doesn't flinch as it draws closer.
"Take her to safety, then get back here!" Hawke orders. The wyvern disappears into the night sky. "Heh... Haha! Looks like we're going to live after all!"
"I've... never heard you laugh before..." Gale says. She's already swimming over to help Kurt. "It's scary. Don't do it again..."
"Haha! Ha... Heh. Speaking of scary, I've never seen you get so close to my wyvern without freaking out."
"I did what now?" Gale asks.
"You were inches from its jaws?" Hawke asks.
"...I was what now?"
"Did you not notice?"
"I... was so focused on saving Lily, I didn't even... Your wyvern was here." The realization seems to dawn on her. "Oh..."
"Hm. You overcame your fears to protect the princess..." Hawke chuckles again. "Fine. I suppose you've earned my trust. Somewhat. I won't interfere with you... toying with her anymore. As long as you don't go too far."
"Uh-huh..." Gale mutters. She still seems to be in shock.
Lily wakes up in a bed. She hears someone behind her and attempts to roll over. A hand on her shoulder stops her. "Don't move, Princess. I need to finish treating your wounds!"
"...Stella...?" The room is spinning.
"Yep. Good news. I already got the glass out, and I think I'll be able to fix most of the damage. You'll still have a few scars, but they'll be small. I doubt anyone will notice if they aren't looking for them."
"Where...?"
"Harv's ship! We've been chasing after you for... however long it's been."
Lily starts to snap out of her daze. "What about the others?"
"They're all fine!" Stella promises. "Isana was really bad. I honestly didn't think she'd make it, even with me treating her... But she's a lot tougher than she looks. Plus, Kurt did all he could to help."
Lily sits patiently until Stella's done. "And where is the ship?"
"We're heading back to that port you stopped at to meet with... a resistance member or something? I don't really understand what all they're talking about."
"Yeah, we're gonna have to all sit down together and chat about this later..." Lily mutters. "There's assassins, demons, dragons, imposters... Ugh. It's a lot to keep straight."
"...I think Sir Storm wanted to speak with you as soon as you're able," Stella tells her. "I'm done! You can get dressed now."
"...Thanks..." Lily says. She flexes her muscles and finds she's almost back to full strength, but very sore. "Have someone send me something to eat and... water. A lot of water. I also want to sleep for a few weeks, but that's gonna have to wait. Oh, and send Storm, too."
"Yes, Princess." Stella excuses herself.
Lily forces herself out of bed. Get dressed... She looks around and finds a spare of her normal outfit. And... that dancer outfit she was wearing before.
...It is pretty nice...
