The Great Tree

"SO YOU KILLED HER BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO RESCUE YOUR OWN KIND? SAVAGE BEINGS, ALL OF YOU. I WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TAKE ANOTHER STEP FURTHER IN THIS WORLD."

Tab, Laura, Tom, and Raine are all unable to move. Julia struggles and manages to shoot the Left Claw. Zack runs in and smashes the same claw. Alice heals Zack quickly. Morgan barely hits the claw with her light beam. As this happens the Left Claw is lowered down by Balar he seems hurt. The Right Claw swipes at Tom and poisons him. Balar lets out a powerful roar before gathering a large beam of green light in his mouth and shooting out a giant laser that causes a huge explosion at the top of the tree. Everyone is seriously injured from the attack. The poison activates and damages Tom as he falls to the ground with his armor shattering and returning to his normal clothes with a broken key. Julia continues to question Balar.

"THE TWELVE SOUL KEEPERS WOULD NOT DARE TO STEAL EACH OTHERS' SOULS OR IT WOULD SURELY CAUSE THE DESTRUCTION OF THE WORLD."

"We need those twelve souls so we can have the power needed to save our world. We have to destroy their world and the twelve souls before the barrier breaks and our two worlds are combined. If monsters like these are set loose in our world, there wouldn't be enough Soul Keys. Everyone would die."

"We need those souls to blast apart THIS world to save our own. I already told you. It's US or THEM."

Laura - "I can feel my hands again."

Raine - "I th-think I can move..."
Zack - "It's us or them and I won't let it be us."
Alice - "Don't let up on the assault. If we take out the Right Claw we can send him plummeting off this tree."

Julia seems legitimately concerned (Calling on my expression stat here)

Julia: "I'm not actually certain any of you really know what the souls do...

Solaria wanted us to prove we would protect this world by stealing the soul from you.

You tell us taking the souls would destroy the world. She even said something about thrusting you...

Someone is hiding information from us. I actually have no idea what to do here... I'm concerned we're not doing the right thing...

Destroying a world... I'm not interested in playing god."

Julia will drag Tom away from the battlefield for this turn.

(Oh, probably. It's pretty loud. He's got quite the booming voice.)

(So now you guys are on a turn limit before Karl shows up and gets you all killed too. This game is hard, eh?)

Rix takes out three of the birds with two gears and a sword slash, but Karl just throws crumbs everywhere. The seven others all attack Karl and Rix by pecking at them.

Karl tries to grab a bird by jumping around, but trips and falls over. Rix takes down three more birds and the four left continue to peck at you angrily.

Morgan to Julia: Be careful when you talk to mean ol dragon over there. He might twist your words around because we are bbbbbaaaaaaddddd humans. Hmm some creatures think they are so much better then us but they dont even want to try and listen. If anything you sound like a human you meanie.

You accuse us of going around buring stuff down and destroying stuff without reason. But what are you doing now you dont wanna listen to shat we have to say but instead choose to as you say Purge us from this land without a second thought.

If you ask me the only human here is you.

(Where's Hilda when you need her?)

Tab: "I think this world deserves to get destroyed if all you'll do is not listen to anything!"
Tab will Paper Toss at the Right Claw.
