Getting the band together

[Anastasia]

'It'll be done, talking to Alicia now.' Is Elle's reply.

[Corwin]

She only meant to update Elle of the needs, given that the scouts are reporting to her at present. Elle would need to learn to carry two conversations at the very least once she ascends, so this is good practice!

[Anastasia]

'Forces will be ready if you call on Alicia's aid,' Elle responds back, as your magic works through the ranks, murmurings of appreciation, gratitude and awe.

[Corwin]

Seira nods to herself, as it is much like she had expected. As the magic spreads, and her orders for future deployments take hold, she looks at their adjusted plan anew!

[Anastasia]

Your plan feels solid now - you don't feel any flaws in it.

[Corwin]

Seira decides to wait on new information, making herself scarce!

[Anastasia]

Soon enough word reaches you: "The diviners say this is serious," Donald says, "Something's coming for us."

[Corwin]

I'm sure you heard from Donald already, Seira tells Elle. Since it's a serious attack, we'll meet it with force. Appraise Romiel of things, and coordinate with Sylica. Once the efreet commit, formally request their intervention and let's catch those bastards between our two forces!

[Anastasia]

'On it,' Elle says, 'We're going to crush them.'

[Corwin]

And then, there's little to do but wait for the efreet to tip their hand!

[Anastasia]

Before we get into this, any spell prep or the like for anyone?

[Corwin]

The spotters got True Seeing, Vision of the Omniscient Eye (+10 insight bonus to Spot, immunity to dazzled and blinded, faerie fire as swift within 60ft if cast with spells to see invisible creatures) and Invisibility Purge (165ft radius sphere negating all forms of invisibility). Duration is 33 minutes.

Every named NPC participating in the defense and myself (me and my avatar) got the usual combat loadout via myself, with my avatar hanging back near the portal area and preserving her strength. Also, she's there in case the enemy has someone with bullshit UMD to bypass the portals' intent-based limitation for use. It also seems sensible to forbid fiends, efreet, dao and evil elementals to travel through them at this time.

[Anastasia]

Soon enough, a scout. "Ma'am! They're coming," The half dragon kneels before you, "A great army! A great host, thousands and thousands and thousands more, like the grains of sand in the ocean."

[Corwin]

"Distance to our forces?" Seira calmly asks him. "And composition of their army? Only efreet, mixed force with devils?"
