Wouldn't the second one seeing the first one released over the volcano simply jump off into the ocean?
And miss out on the sweet release from this mortal coil?
Probably not, because contrary to what video games would indicate, water does not prevent all fall damage.
So the older video games told me the truth! - that the slightest contact with any body of water is instantly fatal from any height.
You lied to me, Aonuma san! ;_;
You TOLD ME THE TRUTH original Assassin's Creed.
Sure, sure, water doesn't prevent fall damage, but a well placed hay pile and a properly executed dive will...
In fact, it prevents almost no fallcdamage beyond 20 feet
You might be able to get away with just broken legs if you landed right. Then you'd be in the middle of the ocean was broken legs.
They're pretty high up, don't think they'd survive the splat
They wouldn't survive the sizzle either.
Yeah, I'd probably risk the water, but I doubt you'd come away unscathed
Sure, but, I mean, it's Aranaktu.
A cloud descenda out of the sky and offers a rainbow swing to sit on and fly away. The only way a sane person would ever ride on that, unprompted and unprepared to see such a thing, is if there was a charm or mesmerizing effect happening. These folks stood no chance. The clouds showed up and Aranaktu welcomed them all.
The other way would be if someone hadn't had all hope and wonder removed from them
That's why old groucy cynics rarely get dropped into Volcanos. Remember kids being a Sourpuss saves your life.
It's not just a volcano, it's Aranaktu. Why would you pass up your one chance?
We don't know that the rainbows can't restrain you
It's not clear whether the people know they're going off to be sacrificed or not. Maybe they're glad to do it.
Aranaktu looks like he's a least a kilometer tall. Those children were doomed the moment they sat on those rainbow swings.
