Iron Throne Timer - What happens?
So I've been recently traumatized by fighting Ansur who has a supernova mechanic that takes "two turns" to cast. Does the Iron Throne wipe my party if I don't touch the control system aboard cap even if we're all aboard?

However, I'm playing an Honour Mode run. This granted him a new mechanic where he triggers his supernova windup during my turn... but the windup then doesn't take 2 turns. It's instantaneous, the moment he has initiative the supernova triggers, not waiting for his two turn timer.

In hindsight it was kinda obvious that the mechanic is a desperation-grenade to wipe my party with the ability as he loses his temp HP immediately afterwards, leaving him at 1HP.

Why is this relevant to the Iron Throne? Well, I'm playing Honour Mode and I have 1 turn remaining. There is 1 Gondian outside, everyone else is saved, and my whole party is waiting in the ship... but the Gondian goes after my last party member, meaning if I wait for them I can't interact with the ship controls . Can I wait for them? Or do I party wipe if I let the timer go to 0 and don't touch the controls?

I'm not losing an Honour Mode playthrough of 60 hours to save 1 Gondian .

Both times I did honor mode I never touched the controls. In fact, I didn't even know there were controls to touch.

I just brought my guys up to the ladder to the sub, clicked on it, they teleport up the ladder into the sub, when all 4 are on board the last of the gondonians got their turn, and everyone (except for a dumb gondonian that refused to move) lived.

As far as the Ansur thing, he didn't nova immediately for me, so I'm not really sure what you are talking about.

Granted the game is buggy. My first honor mode run Last Light Inn bugged, I alt-F4'd and it reloaded fine.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear! Thanks for the comment :)

Regarding Ansur: Hoarding Power is a 2 turn buff. Normally, he triggers it during his turn and by ending his turn he elapses 1 of the 2 turns. You then have 1 initiative pass to hide from him behind a wall. He then "ends" his next turn, now having elapsed a 2 turn timer, and triggers his supernova.

His Honour Mode buff grants him Hoarding Power out of turn. During my turn (last character of my 4), I reduce him to 0 and he immediately enters Hoarding Power... but he has never had a turn so, technically, he should have to end his turn twice in order to trigger his nova.

In actuality: my 4th character triggered Hoarding Power, then his turn started and he immediately supernova-ed. Twas... shocking.
