Cape Westwind: what is the setting of the battle/where will it take place? Urth's Fount: would there be any mechanics that when ignored would result in an instant wipe?

Cape Westwind - What is the setting of the battle? Where will it take place?
A fight against Cersei would most likely take place aboard her own ship, The Red Lily. It’s a fairly decent sized ship, not quite a galleon size though not super small. It could be deemed a bit “luxurious” for a six-man crew. I don’t have a visual for her ship just yet, given that the color is actually dark redwood it’s hard to find someplace to design it online
Urth’s Fount - Would there be any mechanics that when ignored would result in an instant wipe?
Yes, only one though. It’d be in a phase, Cici (the chef who is also Cersei’s adopted daughter) cannot sustain heavy damage during this. I wanna say if she loses all HP, Cersei will dash to each person sorta one at a time (yes like UCoB cause that fucking wipe mech/enrage is my fave and I've not even done that fight I’ve just watched it) The phase may either be just a healer check or a “Keep the adds off Cici while she gives Cersei a breather” phase. It wouldn’t be super hard unless EX version
Dash to each of them and one of two animations could play, she’d cut them down with her ax or shoot them directly through the heart with her pistol
She’d start with the DPS of course, take out the power before the rest cutting off the others.
Healers would be second because it was their fault her daughter fell.
Tanks last, because as a tank for her crew it’s important to her to be the frontline defense. So in her now raging murder mode, the tanks failed that. In her eyes, they took away one of her precious treasures and she’s going to make sure they pay for it.
Some dialogue during her “enrage” may fall along the lines of:
"You broke my family, now let’s see how I can break you.”
“Till the sea swallows all, and by the gods I’m going to make sure she swallows you all.”
“Is it so hard to protect an bystander? Some heroes you are.”
Dialogue was kinda thought up last minute so not the best but the rest was worked on overnight with a friend
