in short, it is not going to be a cake walk and we could very easily end up dead if we are carless.

I was telling you how it is. Never once did I say it would be easy.
I only explained to you why it is incredibly unlikely that the UD will be able to allocate enough resources to take down Cerys in particular after having stepped into a hornet's nest.

Of course we will have to fight strong enemies, that much is a given. But they will not come in overwhelming numbers because of the reasons I noted. They can not even do that because most of Thirteenth Hell is small fry, bodies to throw at the enemy in the millions so the stronger units can finish of the exhausted defenders.

If enough stronger troops are redirected from other theaters right after they exhausted themselves over whatever planet they were fighting about with the UD (the double crit), they will get punished for it by the UL and their commanders are not stupid. Arrogant maybe, but not stupid.


So in short: Boss enemies yes, specifically engineered trap for Cerys no.

Besides, I have to admit to not reading anything of your post except the first and last line. Starting out with insulting me killed my motivation to give this effort.

technically no, but every time I pointed out it would be hard you had a counter argument. Shooting down every reason something won't be easy without even acknowledging it would be hard looks damn near identical saying something would be easy. Then you kind of did you special that spelled out why there would be nothing to worry about, while you never said it was easy you've done nothing but be dismissive of the difficulty. I'd call that equivalent to saying it would be easy given the lack of any real acknowledgment of the danger.

yes, and those reasons are wrong. the UD has stupidly deep reserves at just about every level, but due to a might makes right philosophy they have shit internal coordination. What that means is if they don't feel threatened they have a shit ton of powerful forces essentially fucking around. When the barrier falls earth will look like a fine place to fuck around. We won't be fighting a few weaklings, we will be fighting the guys strong enough to tell the dark lord to fuck off when he tries to make them fight.

why not? we are going to be on the radar the first time we make an army into a crater, and we know from other quests that hell has disposable kill teams it uses against VIP targets. Even if they don't know what the fuck we are, a mage who can blow up armies would be on the list of things to kill. We will be a high-value strategic target, of course, they are going to make killing us a priority. Given we are very much a glass cannon right now demonic kill teams in the near term future should be cause for concern.

Rude!
 
Well now that I don't need to run out to work and won't be double posting there is one thing that's been bugging me this whole quest, just how exactly is Cerys' name meant to be pronounced?
 
Google has it pronounced as "Sair(like hair but with an S)- Ris" with an emphasis on the second part. Although i pronounce it in my head like "Seh-rees" similar to the Roman god Ceres.

EDIT: Its a welsh name so it might as well be some alien language to the rest of the world.

That's a better way of writing out how I pronounce and enunciate it actually. 'Sair-ris' I mean.

Welsh isn't that strange...
 
Since SV decided not to inform me that there were posts, it took me a while before I noticed this.
The proper way to pronounce it is 'Se-ry-s' (Ce sounds a bit like Se rather than Ce, but the Ce and Se noises are almost identical.)

Try typing 'Serys' into google translate and having it pronounce it, it's close, though there is kind of a silent 'i' after the r. (And mentally replace the S with a C, google translate doesn't say it right if you use a C)

And yes, Welsh shit be wack. It's a bit easier for me because I know several Welsh people that I can ask.

Alternatively, 'Ceh-res' or 'Ce-ry-s' works too.
The Y doesn't need to be pronounced, but it can be.

If you go for more accent, you might elongate the y and hear it as 'Ce-ryy-s'.
