>>5723365>>5723337>What I wanted to know was if it's necessary for the civilians in Frathe Fort to get hit by the god explosion, could we move the baby somewhere else somehow? Like more north near a village, which would be easier to evacuate.Milagros sighed, her disguise collapsing for a few seconds.
"What will happen if we do that? At best they believe he's dead and they will unite against the Remnants, possibly starting another Great War.
We need a lot of them to die so it doesn't look 'sacred', to make them doubt about the emerging god.
That way they don't expect a savior of the infant and are willing to let go when we pretend he is dead.
The destruction of that place will also free the sky above the Wasteland, so the religious sheep will interpret it as a sign."
>It would probably lead to a crack down inside of the empire afterwards, which would be bad,>but with the Federation opening it's border, we could offer asylum to any desperate refugees."Probably will."

>Go somewhere outside the fortress(The Clockwork Church)You needed time to think, this felt wrong.
So you went for a walk to clear your head.
You walked through many streets of the capital that you had not yet explored, a vague destination in mind.
You passed entire blocks of destroyed or deconstructed buildings, what was left standing about to follow the trend.
The gray sky accompanied the cool wind that whistled through the alleys.
Perched on the edge of a crater, was the place you'd heard the Chimeras mention but never talk about.
A middle-sized church with multiple patches throughout the building.
Jammed into the walls and roof, factory and machinery thrived.
It was a married of an old church and the odd jobs of an industrialist.
Entering the plae dispelled none of the confusion.
The insides weemed the same madness as outside, the chirs place replaced by a factory line and the offices chnaged into storage.
Who had built this place was unknown, but by the recent maintenance and total cleanness a chimera would have been guilty.
You looked up, just confused.
And in the central dome, on the highest tower of the building, a bell engraved with runes
A heart of cables and pipes.
[During the entire thread #3 you heard the sound of a bell in the wasteland, it was this.]
What function this place served was something to speculate on, as long as you didn't ask Cedalion or Charon.
...
>Gather our party, tell them what's going on, see who wants to come with us to save people and avert catastrophe. Put Cedalion in charge, with a list of things he can and cannot do to avoid him committing suicide or deliberately damaging/sabotaging our efforts.
[You want to go get the infant god now?]
>Yes, we're leaving soon
>No, we leave when the moment arrives-
