Magical Girl Escalation Taylor (Worm/Nanoha)

Murdering two Protectorate heroes and a Ward, though, would. Otherwise, the whole "no killing (Protectorate heroes/PRT or villains)" unwritten rule would be a bad joke. In canon, the only ones we see clearly giving no fucks about that rule were the ABB--and, well, everyone promptly teamed up to take them down very quickly.

Not really. Hookwolf was a killer. Lung wasn't really much better on the murder front.

Kill Orders are not there to protect heroic capes from making a dumb move that leaves them dead against a villain out of their league. It's not even strictly speaking a mandatory Birdcage offense, though it would be fairly easy to get the jury to send a hero killer to the Birdcage.
What protects Protectorate capes from being aggressively killed is the promise of disproportionate retribution.

Simply put, if doing this didn't get him a kill order, then the "no killing" rule becomes an obvious joke and villains have no reason to hold back from lethal force against heroes (even Wards).

A Kill Order is a court order. The requirement is that the subject poses a clear and present threat to anyone, anywhere, and as such, a lethal takedown is functionally self defense, because they're going to kill you anyway if they are in your vicinity. This guy isn't nearly aggressive enough for that. Standard cop killer rather than Jack Slash tier.

I'm for just straight-up killing the guy with bombardment spells. It's completely justified--the guy has already murdered heroes and even a Ward before, and he's picking this fight. Our powers make us perfect for this. Have Vista climb onto our back, shoot the gun-armed thugs with stun spells, and then fly up too high for Cadejo to reach us. Then hit him with bombardment spells.

Uh huh. Just going to ignore collateral damage here, eh?

They're teeth and claws. From dogs. Taylor's Barrier Jacket tanked a rifle round from point-blank. Combine that with barriers, and there is no way they could threaten her.

Before you accuse someone of foul play, make sure you've read everything they've said.
 
[X] Full frontal assault – Maybe if you and Vista hit him with all your might from the word 'go', Cadejo will decide fighting you is more trouble than it's worth.
-[X] Throw a Temporal Sludge to keep them contained and buy time while we grab Vista and fly up. Follow it with a Recursion Field to keep things contained.
--[X] Cadejo's less of a threat once we've got some height, but assault rifles put Vista at risk. Launch a series of Rust Shooters targeting their hardware.
---[X] Follow that with a spread of Temporal Sludges, not just to replace the soon-to-expire initial sludge, but to lock down the area.
----[X] Bring the hammer down with a Solar Wrath.

Good point... but I feel it's wasting mana. Why go through all this when we only need three spells? Recursion Field once, TS once, Solar Wrath once. If three spells, two of which are pretty mana-intensive, doesn't take care of the problem, then we retreat.

I was gonna try and argue my point, but it's a fair cop, given Solar Wrath's capable of non-lethal take down.

I'll edit my vote.

Yes. The vote tally program will consider you as having voted for the latest-posted plan by that user, if you've gotten the name correct. Which you have. This is generally better than copy-pasting a vote for in-depth/write-in plans like these, as they may undergoes edits. Thus, the edits do not cause vote splitting.

Sam was created by Taylor, so she can be considered as Taylor's daughter.
If she marry Taylor's father, Taylor become her own (step-)Grandmother.

For some reason pack of rabid intangible dogs seems to me as not nearly dangerous as regenerative and constantly growing fire dragon.
In other words: meh, we can take him.

On the one hand, I can't help but feel like it's this kind of thinking that got two Protectorate heroes and a Ward murdered the fuck to death. On the other hand... as long as we stay out of his reach and let Vista handle the bullets, we should be okay? On the gripping hand... man, fuck this guy. He's murdered KIDS. If anyone deserves a cleansing solar assault, it's him.

The flight spell can handle the extra weight no problem. It's your arms that'll get tired.

Except it IS a joke in canon. The whole thing about independents lasting 6 months after their debut? That isn't because they decide to hang up their masks. What protects Protectorate capes is that they have a lot more capes than anybody else does to call on if shit REALLY hits the fan. Most gangs would prefer not to push so hard that they get a visit from Alexandria. Others, like Lung and Cadejo, are strong enough or have a tricky enough power that they don't care.

Dogs can't climb, nor can they jump nearly high enough. What, do his dogs fly? Do they just ignore gravity? I'm calling bullshit on this one.

If you bothered to read the question I was answering, I already said they can't fly. And you're talking about a man turning into intangible dogs. Is it really the CLIMBING you want to call bullshit on?

About temporal sludge, wasn't it mentioned that we could layer spells in the effect? Why not instead of just firing solar wrath, we also launch as many friendship lasers as possible for extra overkill?
