[Area] Seth's Dream dome

Thoren tries to sort things out. With the heir's plans, will he still get a chance at redeeming himself?
It seems they like that guy's plan more than his.

Either way, it seems their confrontation has reached a conclusion, and their next move should happen soon, before the rainbow bubble fades with the heir's slumber.
...he should probably get back into the robot before then.

Thoren runs over towards the thorenbot, leaps, and phases right into it! He nearly would have knocked it to the ground, if it weren't for the on-board gyro-sensors keeping it upright.

It takes a moment to get re-oriented, but soon enough, Thoren is right where he belongs, and ready for action.

Nil walks over to Thoren.
"...you happen to know where the other seths might be? I just wanna get back home."

"Give me a second... still loading files into active memory here."

Nil gives him a couple seconds. He knows what it's like piloting a bot like that, though a much less advanced model. He wonders how much more comfortable and maneuverable Thoren's upgraded rig is from the base chinese bootleg windows 98-ass model he had.

"...okay, got it loaded. they're at the party. The blue bitches are at the tower base last time I saw them."

"wait, there's a fucking party going on?"

"Well, we did just defeat ragged grey over there, and the darkness that proceeded him. Let's walk."
Thoren and Nil begin walking together, not too far behind the others.

"...if you all defeated him, why is he still here?"

"Fuck if I can figure it out. A lot of shit happened during the last leg of the fighting. I remember his counterpart with the pawns... Raz he's called, had something to do with it. I remember he had a plan to reach him and it felt like eternity all over again on the way up there... We almost got wiped out by a doom fraymotif, but somehow, do you know what saved us, of all things? Elsey riding a motherfucking giant squid!"

"what the fuck."

"It was fucking amazing. You had to be there. Honestly that squid reminded me of the old man himself. It talked just like him, it seemed like it was the one doing his signature fraymotif, it had an attitude just like he did, it's eyes were even red and yellow like his were..."

"If there were that many similarities, not to mention horizon fucking nocturne, it probably was him somehow."

"It's just, I knew him, and he would never be caught dead in the form of a squid! Squids were his worst fucking enemy!"

"Maybe he wanted the squid to die? He could have possessed one just to crash it into the most fucking dangerous storm he could find."

"You know, that actually makes sense. What better way to go on a suicide mission than to use it's danger against your enemy?" Thoren laughs a little.

"Man, you're fucked up there."

"Hey, at least I know I am."

They continue with the group into the forest.

"hey, you never answered that question. I still don't know how the fuck that tattered heir survived after you and the others kicked his ass and threw a squid at him."

"W-well...It's not like it's unexpected..."

Raine doesn't seem to have much to say. Especially concerning the "old man".

"I'm...I'm just happy all that is over...and everything's going back to normal...Even better than normal even...At...At least I hope so..."

The elves just quietly try to keep walking with the others in the group, as far away from Raine and Thoren as possible. They really feel outclassed and outmatched by everyone else here, and despite already being dead, they really don't want to find out what the next level down is like.
Clispaeth however, is determined to have her wish fulfilled and isn't about to let fear prevent her from witnessing The Ultimate Reward.

Into the forest they proceed with the group, and hopefully to their next destination.
