A very quick one, yes; whatever data you wish to convey would have to be something that can be said in a couple of seconds.
He does have a couple of spare skull fragments inside his urn that could be tapped, but he'd still need to exhaust the rest of his ashes, and at his Skill, there's no certainty that it'd work well, so Azriel wouldn't be eager to try. In other words, it's hard to say if he has enough.
If you're going to Summon Gate, it likely can't be concealed without aid from the Professor in covering this up.
[X] Summon Gate
Once upon a time the world went to madness. Those with Evil in their hearts, Greed in the bones and Pride in their soul took and took and did exactly as they pleased with nobody to push them back into the pit their foul self was spawned.
And then came a King who called the Spire as if it were his to command.
Let us repeat history Ladies and Gentlemen. A Gate from the beginning of our tale to his end.

I am against summoning gates, when it's not a matter of our life and death.
We bought an amulet to hide this ability, turned away from potential friends to not stand out and reveal it and turned down the offer of tutoring to not disclose it. Not until we get a few more powerups, boons, friends, anything that would allow us to say NO to any 'offer' of 'sponsorship' or other means of vassalization and exploitation. And that time is still months if not years away.
Doing this right now would blow our cover wide open and make all our preparations worthless.
We can save Jade, gaining a powerful (if wounded) ally and some positive, prosocial reputation. I think that's enough.
If Rob wants to cut into us later, we can gate him then, hopefully in a place with fewer witnesses.

It's moreso that her losing an arm is likely to make losing additional parts of herself (including her head) more likely on account of reducing her ability to parry. Restoring limbs is a trite problem.

Time's Temporal Acceleration/Temporal Resistance: Can it be applied to other people, or objects? Can Azriel enchant a building to bave 10% temporal acceleration? Could Azriel selectively accelerate some aspects more than other aspects, concentrating the Boon
Since time can flip abilities around on the temporal axis, can Azriel using an inverse of Time's abilities Age 1/10 to cause objects to instead age at 10x times? What about causing people to act at 0.9x temporal time via temporal deceleration?

Moreso that Rob and Jade are both freakishly strong, able to fight Ascendants much stronger than anyone else at their age/experience bracket! Even so, Professor Harvester was simply unlucky and got caught by surprise; even then, it's not like Rob's coming out of here a winner. As soon as that dome drops, he's getting domed.
Either way it's not an ideal scenario, and definitely showcases the Professors aren't as reliable as they may portray themselves...
Yeah, I was thinking there were more levels to this. I have expected his advantages, as he puts it, to be well above Joe to the point where he can casually tank, react or predict and nullify all and every action Joe might take. It is very interesting that they are this close to our level. Then again I imagine real powerhouses might have better things to do?
Could we use Dissolve/Curse Removal to snipe scythe that is going to do Jade in? Maybe we could SAVE some Wealth if we just surgically remove any scythe she'd fail to block. And while this would be less impressive to normies, it would actually be more impressive to Jade and teach, all while saving us Dust.

Almost certainly better things to do than teaching a bunch of noobs!
Dissolve won't work on it, but Curse Removal would, sure. This is a valid tactic. It's (very) slightly riskier overall, but your Punctuality's coming in clutch; without it, trying this maneuver would be pretty much hopeless.

He's bothering to use things like guns and grenades, so I assume he's a Batman skill-over-force type.

Alright in that case

Lets SAVE some Wealth. It should also make us more impressive to people who actually matter and, I suspect, 35.

Seems reasonably sensible. Presumably, if Rob could attack us, precognition of this plan would tell Azriel as much.
Hopefully Armor is not incompetent and so puts an effective measure in place to make sure mr citrine death loses the ability to kill people after this, seeing as he has demonstrated the clear desire, and ability, to kill people in moments of Armor's laxness; maybe a Geas, or some effect that seals him in a hyper-tough magic barrier and alerts the faculty if he attempts to commit murder, or something, so he won't be able to kill us.

Neat. I realized that multiple of Time's powers would contribute to this: The Rite of Tomorrow to see which attacks are going to hit and punctuality to get the timing exactly right. I'm not against it, but it's more impressive than dispelling the barrier. Whether anybody realizes how sensitive the timing is on that is another matter. I will, however, abstain because the increased failure chance makes me nervous.
Unrelated, but I feel like it's gonna be hilarious if some enemy gets smug after turning intangible one day and gets thwacked in the face by Time.
