[X] Plan Topple the head of the Wolf
Meanwhile, on the Silver Isle.The man, scalp still bleeding continuously from the crown of thorns malevolently eating away at his skull, smiled enigmatically. "Friendship."
"Friendship?"
Imagine not betraying your friends for ultimate cosmic power. Couldn't be me.Meanwhile, on the Silver Isle.
"Now all we need to do to enshrine Friendship as the ultimate paradigm is kill Eternity right Cass?"
"...Cass?"
Sol is right where he should be given his Role and abilities.A war started developing, as stark lines were drawn in the sand. Across the Academy, the Theologians enacted a series of coordinated attacks on the Wolf's followers in shared spaces. Solomon, on support and battlefield control duty, oversaw the procession of events from a scrying basin full of Messianic blood - a dozen apertures like a security guard's television screens revealing scenes of abrupt, curt violence; each instance cut short within moments as the Quixotists fell; not dead, only subdued or unconscious.
Connections is some really potent stuff.Accessing other Levels of the Academy - those that didn't belong to your Theme - was difficult, as the doors wouldn't admit those of the wrong Class, and as a result, it often required the Educator's permission. However, there were loopholes and exceptions. Even if coerced, a group may be allowed in by someone of the correct Class, and some rare and unusual abilities allowed partial ingress. Solomon's control over Connections was among them.
Yeah this is the kind of thing Sol is really good at."It'll only last an hour," he explained once the rites were complete, and the light had died down. His Marids offered each of the team's members a bandoleer of marked potions: rapid healing, stamina recovery, a flashbang analogue, and minor stimulants.
I'm guessing the Engine is one the heavy hitters of that class.He strode out of the doors with arms wide in greeting - an older man, about twenty-two or twenty-three, with a wild mop of unnaturally dark-gray hair - and grinned at them toothsomely, revealing a mouth full of fangs. Behind him stood the Engine, in a modified and more refined version of her suit from half a year ago, and one other: a half-rabbit half-man in a blue jacket with brass buttons with huge ears and a giant carrot that he slung over one shoulder, clearly intent on utilizing it as a bludgeoning weapon.
Jesus knows Kung Fu.In an instant, the Big Bad Wolf transformed, taking on a mien more lupine than human, a brutal war-form thrice as large with a hide covered in stringy hair and massive talons, launching into a frenzy of clawed slashes aimed at Noah and Harrison. With a knowing smile, Harrison swiftly touched Noah's shoulder, transporting them both out of harm's way, leaving empty space behind, and throwing the Wolf's equilibrium into turmoil. Racing, the Messiah dashed through right on the emptied space, fist already wound back.
He seized the advantage of their trajectory and sprang upward, delivering a divine uppercut. The Wolf's eyes widened in agony and disbelief as the strike connected with the base of its snout, near the throat. It was a sacred warrior's blow, a strike infused with holy might, a testament to unwavering courage that wished to undo all evil; an incandescently meaningful Biblical miracle in strike-form; snapping jaw bones and briefly illuminating the entire hall with a radiant beam of sacred light that revealed martial truths. Amidst an ethereal chorus of angelic 'hallelujahs,' the Wolf crumpled like a collapsible chair, its stomach bulging as a second devastating punch connected.
Nice to see Penny getting even with the Engine.All of Penelope's wings unfolded and batted once so fast that Solomon almost missed it, a compression of force delivering her forward like a spear. Her fist struck the Engine's center of mass and sundered the entire cuirass, steel crumpled around hardened, blessed flesh like a watermelon's rind against a hydraulic press. A flat wing slashed out with feathers like a set of blades, severing a pauldron from the rerebrace, and then did the same for the other pauldron, disconnecting the steam vents the Engine used for offense. A final, second punch to the helmet sent her flying back several feet, utterly disarmed and disabled.
No.Does Improve Curriculum improve the results of Remedial Lessons?
Plot arc fairly sure we can just continue remedial classes indefinitely.In that case won't it be better to max out on the Remedial Classes instead and conclude that plot arc?

...Prelude To Doom isn't valid as-written? we only have 125 Will in that month, which isn't enough for Improve Curriculum, which takes 150 in that Month. I suppose in theory the last provision handles that, but I'd think the original layout should at least be mechanically permissible.
