Aiya’s witch bolt hits at the same time that Tails steals the hammer right off the Tinker’s belt. He gains a direct connection to all the secrets of the workings of the universe stored within the hammer.
The Tinker steals back the hammer and begins siccing his various creations on the party.
Big battle!
The Tinker assembles a huge mech around himself from the bits on his piles. He fires pieces of his armor as shrapnel at the party.
Stelar rises from one of the piles of stuff and fights back against their creator.
The party is eventually victorious! Tails only dies once.
After some healing, the party talks with Stelar and discovers that they seem to somehow know everyone in the party...
The party tables that mystery for later, gathers up the hammer, and heads back towards the Angel.
Halfway there, Tails grabs the hammer. He promptly discorporates.
After some panicking, the party hurries to the Angel.
It instructs Mauritius how to reconstitute Tails (with full HP?!).
Then it instructs Mauritius how to free it from its chains.
Once free, the Angel says it will fulfill its promise to create something that will kill the curse.
There is a bunch trepidation about having a curse-killing something or other by everyone except Venayo. Venayo volunteers to carry it.
The Angel makes a list of the things it will need to get the forge running so it can make a weapon that “will kill her for good.”
