Don’t negotiate with terrorists. Thunder Lady should just turn this guy into a mist.

The darn thing is that this can confirm an image of fascism.
“Oh you don’t agree so you just kill them?”
You have to make some attempt at peaceful resolution/3rd option.

That’s nice and all, but they are all literally ready to kill and/or maim thousands of people.

I’m sorry but their discussion privileges have already been revoked.

Stix is right. The Troll can’t be reasoned with, but Alex and Elijah offer an opportunity to turn them against the Troll. Alex hasn’t committed a crime this bad yet. Do they expect to just walk away after? Even Elijah as a serial killer might get a worse sentence if he’s gassing the town. Talking before blasting can create allies with inside knowledge, powers to stop the others and thereby preventing the disaster. Not to mention that it would be standard procedure for any civilised police force. Establish communication, check out the demands, see how far they reach and any… Read more »

Is Elijah a serial killer? I thought he was a political arsonist or something

I think you mean activist, not arsonist?

He used to be (if you call hate graffiti ‘political activism’), but he’s escalated since then. Last time he was caught he was in the middle of a killing spree against video game store owners.

Umm.. no. Killing someone who is demanding that you hurt yourself or they will hurt or kill an entire city… is not any shape or form of fascism. How ridiculous. And they did make an attempt to solve it peacefully, they were refused.

What if they have a dead man switch? Vaporise them, and release the gas. However you spin it, there is some blame on the people pulling the trigger before they understand the full situation.

What’s the range on D-Pad’s arrows? If it’s just one tank, would seem pretty easy to just stop the chemical release by breaking it, right?

Definitely enough to just block the vent shaft. Destroying the tank would not be very good as it wouldn’t be contained and will leak through any windows or other openings of the building. Well, the exact consequences depend on what’s actually inside the tank in terms of physical properties. For all we know it could be empty or contain harmless stuff as well.

BTW, I’m not sure that vent shaft is even an exhaust in the first place. It could be drawing air from outside actually.

Oh, he could deinitely sever the pipes connecting that thing to the ventilation shaft.
But the trouble with jury-rigged WMD’s is that you never know what they will do when you start breaking bits of them.

Weren’t there supposed to be multiple vats throughout the city? Or so he claimed. This on is just there for our heroes to take a bath in.

Ok Elijah, the ball is in your roof, I’m leaving. Talk with the Troll about it

So as long as they manage to disable the poison bomb or block the exhaust of it somehow, then the Troll’s threat is void and they can go arrest him. Good thing its so obviously large and easy to spot. Shame about Elijah, I wonder when he will understand that a Troll doesn’t care about winning or losing but about “trolling” aka have people dance to their tune and still keep messing with them. Even if he gets Ethan to jump into the pool, he would still release the poison gas just to make Ethan’s sacrifice worthless aka he got… Read more »
