Grab him by the neck. Lift him off the ground. Strangle him.

Once he stops struggling, carefully remove the babies.

>>what do you do?

Temporarily polymorph the babies into venomous snakes and hope the problem resolves itself.

Central nervous system shot either done by you and synced with someone plowing through the wall behind him and grabbing him, or someone else making the shot after you've inched forward enough to catch the corpse before it falls.

Wait for the Sorceror to use his Wand of Binding on the guy, and then we remove the babies. Then we kill the guy.

>>52848249
Shoot him in the hand.

>>52848150

The room seems to be poorly lit. He probably won't notice the ninja hanging on the ceiling until he lowers the hanging rope around his neck and jumps down to the ground. Obviously the rope is inserted into a pulley attached to the ceiling which will hang the guy. As for the gun he'll certainly drop it in panic while hopelessly trying to get the rope off.

Problem solved.

>>52848301
Also an option.

>>52848150
Kill him, the babies, an anyone within 2 blocks around the building. Then pleasure each other with the corpses, ALL OF THEM!

>tfw Fiend Pact LE Warlock whose actually on good terms with his devil lord

Use Hurl Though Hell, have my subordinates pick off the babies, and have the party prep for a good ol' fashioned crubstomping.

The babies will be returned to the Material Plane after the battle, but they'll all have fiend pacts of their own woven to their souls. Human pettiness is rewarded if your most selfish desires already have a contract already lined up for you.

call in backup, surround the place, ask him what he wants, wait him out and if the time comes, take the shot.

Shoot him in the head and catch him before he falls onto any of them.
Also: How the fuck did he put them all on? Did he have help?
Besides, he's wearing like 110 pounds of baby, CONSERVATIVELY.

>>52848150
The answer is always to do what they did in the actual comic that's taken from: have one guy distract him while another guy sneaks into the ceiling just above him and drops a noose over his head.

>>52849272

I'll give you a hint.

Frank Castle isn't a good guy.

>>52848150
Shoot him in the head with a crossbow, then use healing magic on the smooshed babies.
This really isn't that bad in a fantasy setting.

>>52849272
They straight up hang the dude.

>>52849272

I think he gets hanged

>>52849272

He should have put a baby around his neck.

>>52848570
I'd wait it out just to see how long he could hold out wearing 100 pounds of screaming poop machines.

>>52849312 >>52849318 >>52849340
It seems to me that hanging the guy isn't something that would prevent him from killing the woman he had at gunpoint, nor the babies he's holding hostage.

>>52849396

Maybe it's hard to aim a gun, or focus on anything else besides the rope around your neck when you're being hanged

>Cast Feather Fall
>Cast Sleep

>>52849434
Putting a gun to a baby's head seems like a good way to STOP getting hanged in that situation, assuming you're the sort of person to threaten a baby's life to begin with.

Who says I grab him from the front? A smart hero is capable of finding a loophole in the villain's plan.

>>52849501
Regardless, it sounds like an unprofessional and tactically poor choice- one with considerable liability and would probably result in administrative leave from the SWAT team as well as administrative review and investigation.

I'd give him a good 80% chance of killing a baby just by flailing his legs about and crushing one. I'd give him another 40% chance to have the presence of mind to execute his hostage, one of the baby hostages, or shoot as his attacker/negotiator. I'd give him a 15% chance to have the presence of mind to shoot the rope, which entails a 30% chance he'll shoot the ninja, and a 5% chance he'll actually shoot the rope.

Given those odds, your plan is complete shit. At the very least you should negotiate until you can think of a better plan.

I think you'd be better off blowing his hand off with a high caliber rifle and hoping the windage doesn't implode a baby's face. Permanently deafening a baby is an acceptable outcome if it survives. You'd need somebody in melee proximity to physically subdue him once he's disarmed however. I'd recommend removing both arms and braining him if you have somebody in the room.

>>52848150
Barbarian would probably just cram a spear through his brain and let him dangle from it. He is strong enough to easily support a weight of a person from a spear.

Dissapointing desu. Would've been enough time to pull the trigger.

Wait until the babies start shitting and vomiting. Approach in the ensuing noise. As he is changing shirts and pants, taze him. Hand over the tazer to the babies and observe until relieved. Justice done, mission accomplished.

>>52848150
send in Keyleth to negotiate.

>>52849561
If you can get a noose tight around his neck then the optimal solution would be to put the noose on then shoot him in the head.

>>52849843
BRILLIANT!

+1 internets to you sir.

Why is spearing his skull to the wall not a valid option again?

>>52853035
Can someone fill me in here? Why does Black Manta hate Aquaman so goddamn much?

>>52854147
Because he's Autistic. No, dead serious, it's an actual character trait.

>>52854174
Bit more serious, he was kidnapped by pirates and worked as a slave for most o his childhood. In his trauma he lashes out at anything related to the sea.

As the so-called representative of the sea Aquaman gets the most hate. After all, Black Mantis can't stab the ocean as much as a kid.

Hold person. He doesn't seem like he has a very good wisdom saving throw, given that he didn't see that answer coming.

>>52854174
No, the autism was just a trick to hate on Aquaman more,
>>52854195
like the time Manta stood up for black rights, which was also a lie

Manta doesn't need a reason to hate Aquaman, he just does

>>52849758
Except a hostage is always a bluff, even if the hostage taker isn't aware of it. Pull the trigger, lose your hostage, than what is protecting you. Either they are going to kill the hostage and you can't save them, or they are not going to kill the hostage and they have nothing to hide behind.

Yup.

>>52848150
Though he generally hates doing it, my character has the power to somewhat reliably dominate the minds of most mortals. This is easily one of the scenarios where he would find it acceptable, and get him to put the gun down and hold still long enough to save the babies.
