"Well, bugger. Don't suppose you could just eat those two idiots as opposed to us all, could you?"

If it doesn't seem like it's in the mood for discussion, grab Ryan and try to glide down to the surface (and if that doesn't work, use Ryan to cushion my fall). Injured limb crew sticks together, them's the rules.

"JESUS HELP US ALL."
Scream under the bed.

"JESUS HELP US ALL."
Scream under the bed.

"I agree with this guy!"

Hope to not die.

Scratch that, let's cower. Crouch behind one of the massive bricks leading up to the mountain, hopefully putting myself out of the eye's line of sight. Squish myself as far into the corner between the brick and the ground as I can.

Here's a very scientific diagram of what I have in mind:

"Hmm"

You immediately get the war beast to pick you up.

"Fuck youuuuuuu!"

Hit myself on the ground just hard enough to fracture the glass, shove mind-bullet pill into my brain.

You slam yourself on the ground hard enough to really scuff your outer shell up, but not do any real damage.

"JESUS HELP US ALL."
Scream under the bed.

"I agree with this guy!"

Hope to not die.

"JESUS HELP US ALL."
Scream under the bed.

The under the bed, terrified of death party voices some strong opinions about current actions. They put forth a request for jesus to save them. Jesus spends the next 10,000 years filibustering.

Action post: Survive the round. Await further developments.

You join the Under the Bed Party.

You dive down next to the nearest brick at try to jam yourself as much into the space between it the the ground as possible. You are doing a great Grout impression.

"Well, bugger. Don't suppose you could just eat those two idiots as opposed to us all, could you?"

If it doesn't seem like it's in the mood for discussion, grab Ryan and try to glide down to the surface (and if that doesn't work, use Ryan to cushion my fall). Injured limb crew sticks together, them's the rules.

No, no it does not seem like its much in the mood for that at all.

So you grab Ryan with your beak and glide down to the surface, joining Hyenankles and forming the "Behind the Rock" party.





The hand, with little ceremony, snatches the warbeast off the ground and lifts it several hundred feet into the air. along with all on board.

[Egan_BW]

I never got on the warbeast. Nopenosiree.
Move sideways, away from the giant hand's front. Look around the city for signs that might point towards a shop.

"I'm sure they can figure out their differences on their own."

Were there any people about? See if they're ill-disposed to us at all.

[Ozarck]

Sebastian climbs the hand. Can't squish or hurl violently into the ground what clings to your back. He then addresses the crowd once more:

as you can see, ladies, gentlemen, guests and friends! We merry travelers sure do make for some great entertainment! Singing! Dancing! Interacting with teh mighty and abominations alike! We do it all1 Wonders? Adventures? Excitement? You name it! We bring it! We have warriors! we have acrobats! We have illusionists and prestidigitators! Be amazed! be astounded! Be entertained! All we ask in return is a small fee. Negligible really! Anything works. Just place it in a pile near the stage. We'll collect it after the show!

Sebastian attempts to attrct as much attention as possible.

"Everyone who wishes to live will climb out on the warbeast's hand before the Mount King crushes you. Most-Beautiful's followers, this includes you. Now. I suggest hanging onto me."

If I have time before big hand go squishy squish or droppy drop, write in a short extension to 'get me to outside of Heaven' note to include anyone touching me and also the warbeast spirit thingy. Then put note in shell and crush shell. If I don't have time, just save me.

[Toaster]

"Waaaaaaahhhh"

Join Team Xankarvo.

While the hand thing is busy killing everybody, drop to all fours and make a break for the nearest cloud wall.

Spoiler: possibly relevant stats (click to show/hide)

According to the Internet, the spotted hyena, which is sort of the classic hyena species (and the one that most closely resembles my original doodle of Hyenakles) has a maximum land speed of 37 mph. The most specific info I could find on their endurance with a quick search was this quote from Wikipedia:

"Chases against both adult and young gazelles can cover distances of 5 km (3.1 mi) with speeds of 60 km/h (37 mi/h)."

This place is only "a few" miles wide, and the distance between us and the nearest wall should, assuming physics aren't too screwy in this hell, be <= half of that distance.

Hey xan pants, I think you forgot the thing where it takes the people a bit to get started and do this shit?  The Most Beautiful told you this.
