I don't see how the player is at fault for Cassie getting fried by the Howlers, but I do see it as within Rachel's character to blame them - and to decide to nothlit them as a fly if they refuse to play ball after being given an ultimatum. Rachel's not losing her Cassie without someone paying for it.
Rachel finally backs off. Retreats to a corner with her grief. Marco and Ax go after her. You can hear the three of them whispering but you can’t hear what they’re saying. You sit with your back against a wall and wait for Tobias and Jake to return. Erek sits silently a few yards off. You almost have the sense he is protecting you.
Jake lands next to where Cassie’s small form is laid out. He begins to grow out of his falcon form, to reemerge as human. As his human mouth forms, he lets out a scream filled with rage and grief that turns your stomach. Hours pass as Jake sits next to Cassie. The sun is going down when he calls you together. “I have a plan,” Jake announces.
Again, some surprisingly solid writing.
You slam headfirst into a tree you never saw coming. You fall to the ground, knocked silly. An Iskoort is standing over you, staring down. <Call a member of the Embalmers Guild!> he calls. <I'm not dead yet,> you reply.
There really are some gems in Alternamorphs.
Fun fact: when I read Alternamorphs 2 as a kid I didn't understand that the "Nice choice. Very nice choice." at the end of the button A scenario was meant to be one of the book's endings so I just went to the next page and ended up confused why I was being nothlited as a fly for saving Cassie.
ADMITTING YOUR LIMITATIONS IS NOT EASY. The booming voice easily fills the canyon of skyscrapers. “No joke,” you grumble. YOU HAVE PASSED THE TEST. “Thanks.” BUT THE COST WAS HIGH. YOUR ACTIONS TOOK A LIFE. I WILL DO THE SAME. “What? What do you mean?” you holler. “We had a deal. If I won, you would save my parents!” ONE. “That wasn’t the deal!” YOU MUST CHOOSE. “Choose? But that’s impossible!” How can you choose? Choosing to let one of your parents live means choosing to let the other die. Would your father wish to live with the knowledge that your mother was infested? Would your mother wish to live with the knowledge that your father was a slave? The rest of the Animorphs are watching you. Rachel angry. Ax resigned. Marco volatile. Tobias’s hawk eyes fierce, impossible to read. And Jake... Jake imploring. Haunted. You know what you have to do. “I choose Cassie,” you say.
Canon David could never.
The Ellimist feels much more in character here, at least.
Well, our not!Ellimist clearly can't have Crayak's philosophy since the defense-focused morphset of fly, hawk, and Hork-Bajir is more survivable than the offense-driven Andalite, Komodo dragon, shark one.
I love that these presume you already read the fail scenario so there's no introduction to the Howlers appearing when you pick the second morphset instead it's just straight into the attack.
