The Twister

Twister

The coalition airship is seized by mantises during the battle above the High Elf Castle and repurposed as a remotely guided weapon.

Story so far

The Twister creeps toward the castle and attempts a bombing run after a spotlight exposes it, but the bomb misses the mounted elves. Mantises cover the vessel while changelings abandon it and fight around the magic-missile towers in shifting forms.

Sledge keeps the controller after jumping to the roof. With bombs still suspended beneath the spinning craft, he proposes crashing it into the two turrets that remain in elven hands. Carl approves despite Louis's protest.

Appearance

A battered airship spinning above the castle, covered in mantises with unused bombs dangling beneath it.

Role

The captured transport becomes a last-resort guided weapon against the castle defenses.

Relationships

Sledge — He retains remote control and aims it at the turrets.
Louis — He is emotionally devastated by its impending destruction.
The Mantises — They seize and cover the vessel.
The High Elf Castle — Its defense towers become the Twister's final targets.
