So be it. Our army will arrive soon at the back line and move to reinforce. I will arrive more presently.

"It's time, cast your last spells. Our avatars will remain here, support them if we're attacked Latha," Alicia gives everyone time to do those last minute spells before she opens a gate to the battlefield behind the crumbling eastern flank and flies through.

Elsewhere on Sylica her avatar both dispatches her emissaries to Celestia, the Cauldron, and Brass to announce Sylica's entry into the war, while the army she'd prepared in readiness for this moment is carried forth through gates of their own to the battlefield further behind where Alicia is arriving, so that they have a chance to form up before engaging in battle.

Fire.

It's so hot.

Flames burn around all of you as you appear within. Fire and fury indeed, everything ablaze around you. You are beyond such things as are your allies as...

Go ahead and set up, mostly a flavor post and I'll start getting into the nitty gritty of this next post.

Zaaman Rul's crumbling eastern line stands ahead as Alicia steps through the gate, while another six hundred feet behind her the Sylican expeditionary army begins to emerge through its own portals and form up into ranks, taking the chance to sort their formation out rather than being immediately thrust into combat as soon as they emerge - the shock and awe of such an arrival is more than offset by the disorganisation and risk of the enemy dispelling gates before everyone gets through.

Syala and Antenora appear just after Alicia, as she swells to colossal size to loom over the battlefield, making herself a target perhaps but also a banner for allies to rally with. "And so Sylica joins the Abolition War. Rally, champions of fire, and kindle the spark of good into an ever-burning blaze!" her divinely empowered voice is heard across the battlefield, making this official.

The forces ahead of you are many - the forces of fire's evil, of flaming elementals, horrid beasts and looming fire giants. Many gazes turn to you as Antenora merely raises her spear at one side, shining opal blue bright. Syala is at your other side, hefting her hammer as she adds.

Today we will see Zaaman Rul's fire grow!

Repent now or be quenched now and forever!

Give me a Diplo check here since you're making such a giant impression and trying to get attention on you rather than the portal?

Your voices echo about the battlefield, attention turning to you.

Moments of burning hate, moments of attention on the three of you. Precious moments as troops swarm through before

More, just need a quick question of if you're interdicting portals by any means/spells and in what radius?

I have greater anticipate teleportation up, 165 foot radius gives 3 round warning of anyone arriving.

Anastasia

Thanks.

Your words are called, those precious seconds stretching out. Soldiers hurry out fast as they can as...

"Behind us." You see it at the same time. 2000ft away, portals of screaming fire and jagged magma stones form, spewing forth elementals and flaming will o' the wisps, gorging them in a direct challenge to you.

Ahead are enemies. Behind are enemies. What you do here is up to you. Looking for both your actions and general army strategy, feel free to ask for any clarifications.

"Syala, Antenora, you two clear our rear flank? I'll stiffen up the line ahead," Alicia asks as she flies forward to attack those dao and their forces so that Zaaman Rul's forces can retreat in better order to form up with the Sylican lines. Syala and Antenora will buy time for her army to sort itself out at which point they'll see how the two flanks look and decide their best course from there.

Priority right now is to relieve friendly forces and get her own army deployed in fighting shape. Once all the Sylica forces are through she'll tell Zaaman Rul so that he can sever the astral links and put a stop to any more of these flanking maneuvers.

Or he could just sever them right where those hostile portals are while leaving a safe gap for Sylica, up to him!

Anastasia

Thus you charge ahead, going to engage as a mountain made human. At the same time you see the portals fight, indicted - flames of all kinds erupting from them, yet many remain. At the same time dao, dao and flames and worse turning to face you amid the chaos, as you stride forward as...

Let's roll init and start sorting this out first of all.
