Added a couple conditionals that might lead to that, depending on their judgement. Have to just hope, now. Bedtime.

Gonna have to be that guy right now. If several miles of ocean floor just got lifted up, and out, and dropped back into the ocean, the tsunami that should be in the making would certainly do the job we just averted, and absolutely wreck the city.

It might even reach the refugee center.

You know, over my time DM'ing a campaign, do you know what the number 1 reason my players fail is? Not stupidity, not bad dice rolls, no.
It's when the pedant speaks up and reminds me that, logically, I should have screwed them over harder than I did (granted, they already did something stupid to get me to screw them over, though).
In all seriousness, I'm sure Moid considered that. I sure didn't though. Let's hope the tsunami doesn't destroy the refugee center, and that Madoka did really get the hell out of dodge like we told her to.

Thanks for letting me know. No, not gonna do this. The reason I just did that is to showcase the scale of what you just barely averted. It was not meant to be a moment of "OH FUCK YOU'RE RUINED ANYWAY" but more of "THIS COULD BE YOU IF THE NEXT ONE HITS." Anyway, rewrote it so that it's the port side of the city, which has already been abandoned. The Tsunami that will inevitably happen will start here, but it won't be as strong as it will be elsewhere in the world.

We want to focus on one, really.
Also, for familiars? We probably want everyone in one place. If something goes wrong and one group's in trouble (ie: ground gets overwhelmed) this could get ugly and we'd need to make an unpleasant choice- leave the gear for a rescue or hope they can survive their share of familiars.

Unfortunately the only correct choice would be to continue to attack Wally directly. If it continues attempting it's TPK attack at the same rate as before, assisting our allies on the ground would take away precious time to interrupt its next attempt, which would kill everyone, ground forces included.
Still, I feel like bringing them up here is like putting up an enormous neon sign saying "UNLEASH AOE HERE", so I'm not really sure what to do on that one.
Bringing them up doesn't really make us any more vulnerable to AOE and adds firepower for when the familiar spam happens. It's worth bringing them up now to avoid that scenario altogether.

If AOE got us here, we'd already be completely screwed. Two more meguca won't make much of a difference there. We should try to get an idea of what they're dealing with down there first, though. For all we know, they're up to their eyeballs in familiars right now.
They aren't, I think. That's probably going to change but since familiars can spawn out of thin air...leaving them down there doesn't help us at all and splits the party.

Actually, it wouldn't be that bad since its just off the shore. So there isn't too much volume between the crashing seabed and the shore. Still enough to flood a few homes, but there just isn't enough displaced water available to be a "OH GOD WE DUN GOOFED" thing.

I kind of wanna set up a system where, if Homura has to bail someone out to save their life, she get's a cleanse from them if they have one to spare.
Maybe not right this instant, but you know.
EDIT: I mean, it's basic combat first aid: When you apply bandages/tourniquets you use the bleeding guys's bandages first, and save your own until you're the one that's bleeding.

[x] Kyouko: Attack where the pillar meets the ceiling. Spears or chain swords, whichever works better for her (create swords for chain swords if needed). If nothing's attackable up there, try to jam up the gear works instead.
'Kyou.' You turn. 'Keep attacking the-!'
'Stop trying to play general!' She jams her spear into the top of the pillar, before suddenly she's blown backwards into the cloth of the doll. She lets out a yelp, as Walpurgis' laugh suddenly makes a return.
You fucking hate this witch.
[x] Ako and Yuri: Continue to clear the area of the defensive gears, and watch out for familiars. Also, how are Ran and Chou doing? Status on the ground?
"Ako! Yuri!" You slam a sword into the gears and immediately, the defensive gears start to lock up. "How are Ran and Chou!?"
They both look at you strangely before they keep attacking the pillar, while Kagura moves over.
"They're bored." She says. "Completely bored. There's nothing on the ground."
"The hell?"
[x] Sayaka, Kagura and Akane: Continue to try to destroy the central shaft. Sayaka help muck up the gear works where feasible.
You grind your sword against the gears, before you eject it a little bit further and detonate. Several defensive gears are sent flying as the base of the pillar is shaken just a little bit more.
Akane punches, only to be blocked by yet another defensive gear, before she's thrown hard into Kagura.
[x] Homura: Try to find any weakness we can focus on, or figure out what it's doing so we can be ready for it
"Homura-!"
'It's just floating right now.' She says. 'The spring that it used to destroy the port is still winding up. We have a few minutes before it tries that again.'
'How much is a few?!'
'That's the question of the day, isn't it? It's usually fifteen minutes per firing.'
'So we have fifteen minutes before kills the city.' Kyouko drops from the dress and throws a chain forwards. 'Fucking great!'

[X] Find a way to the spring and destroy it.
Oh, right, was supposed to use Kagura as the Tokyo bridge. Sorry Kagura!
Also, sorry Best Girl. You can be general next time.
[x] Where is this spring? Can we reach it and/or destroy it? Will destroying the shaft prevent Wally from being able to use it?
[x] Evaluate status of the shaft's damage.
[x] Continue attacking until we can confirm a better target.
With 15 minutes, we have time to get an answer on the new potential target before we go running willy-nilly trying to find it. Once we're sure what we want to do, we can move together.
If breaking the shaft prevents the spring from having anything to anchor itself to (thus making it useless), and if we're making regular progress through the shaft, we might be better off staying here. However if our progress through the shaft is slow, the spring might be a better target to focus on.
Also, thoughts on Ran and Chou?

The fact that Homura actually has an estimate on the time between firings is disturbing.

[x] Tell Ran and Chou to get up here and start attacking, nothing going on down on the ground anyway.
I think we should get those two up here. It's not like they'll accomplish much down there even if the familiar rush does happen.

Have them help on Walpurgis, then move to meet the familiars when they rush?
