The Pile
A heap of roughly eighty thousand paralyzed witnesses dumped beside the Dream castle by Eris's ceremony.
Story so far
The Ceremony of Chaos deposits its summoned witnesses in one giant pile on the ground next to the Dream Castle. Donut, watching from above, reports thousands of thousands of people all mixed up together — Katia, Elle, Imani, Bautista, Chris, The Sledge, Florin and Zhang are somewhere in there, and The Rainbow shines straight up out of the middle of it. The missing Reaver army is in there too, meaning friends and enemies are tangled together body to body.
Carl estimates eighty thousand people and immediately starts running numbers: a bomb in the middle would scatter them, but it would need to be enormous, not the Doomsday Scenario enormous, and he can't even get there with teleport broken. Everyone in the pile is held in the Witness State, so when Eris's invulnerability lapses the crush will kill most of them. Donut takes the problem off Carl's hands and solves it with Rolling Battle Formation.
