Lost in goldenfire (Jaela)

[Corwin]

"No chance to triumph is a bit harsh," Jaela responds, taking advantage of the chance now that the angel is talking again. "We're stalemated, that's all. And Arrel said it well. We've seen a lot, and we're not the sort to give up! We'll keep on trying new things, so you better keep up or you'll be the one losing!"

[Ebiris]

"Our world has already suffered the apocalypse, and it was not you," Afina says as her eyes clear up, attempting to manifest her magic first of all...

[17:34] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d100 7th level time stop spell failure --> [ 1d100=55 ]{55}

And speeding herself up immensely! In this time she first attempts to lay down a prismatic wall between the angel and Jaela/Arrel...

[17:35] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d100 prismatic wall spell failure x2 --> [ 1d100=67 ]{67}

Which takes two attempts but at last the shimmering wall of colours springs up to wall off the angel's side of the church away from everyone else, hopefully enough to block out his light blasts with its own radiance. And then Afina zips through the wall unharmed to deliver a pair of quick stabs before retreating back up alongside Kascha!

Salanadriel laughs. It's a startled, almost strained laugh. "You-" Then Afina speeds up, drawing on her magic. A wall of prismatic light appears to box the angel in as she dives in. Her blows strike, one landing to gash its arm. As the wound heals before your eyes, "-'ll resist even that?" In his hand a mass of light shaped like a scythe appears, taking the invitation and striding through the wall.

Seven SR checks for going through the wall. Make the caster level checks, Afina.

[Anastasia]

The wall leaves the angel untouched, through it unarmed and right in Jaela's face.

His move triggers an AoO from you, as does his attack.

Does not beat your DR, Jaela. Make your two AoOs.

[Corwin]

Gae Trocaire obligingly strikes back, seeking to give Salandriel pause!

Light like adamantine comes forth, forming bucklers of light to stop Jaela's strikes. They crack and shatter, but it is sufficient to protect him, even as the angel strikes. The blow cuts deep into Jaela's side, a fast and overwhelming strike that cleaved right through her defenses. "You..." Salanadriel stops, shaking his head. "You want me to try harder to keep up?" His laughter fills the cathedral like the light that gushes from the broken windows. It's a bit of a halting laugh, as if rusty and forgotten. "Lathander put you here suddenly, with a request to test you. Yet after facing my might, you want me to try harder?"

Surraruthru is up.

[Corwin]

Jaela laughs right alongside him, a deep wound only Dana would ignore notwithstanding. "So far, the unreliable magic's been the bigger threat. Don't get me wrong, you're pretty strong. But you made a mistake setting the terms of the battle. Don't you know a thing about Lifasans and survival?"

"I made the mistake?" Salandriel says with more laughter, "Those who challenge me in my task become dust in the wind. Those who are tested against me are humbled. But never has someone taken it and made mirth of it." The celestial holds a hand up, "Enough! What have all of you seen to harden your spirits so, and to retain the joy within to feel joy?"

Free act for the moment.

[Corwin]

Maybe it was arrogant to assume that every powerful angel knows about them, Jaela muses, deciding to oblige. "Our nice and peaceful world got taken over by Hell and we were there for the final fight before leaving with the last portals out. And then we found Aurora, which is our hope for striking back and freeing it and other worlds like it. One takes care of the former, the other of the latter. It's also what brings us all together, individual reasons aside."

[Ebiris]

Afina slows her frenetic movements as she answers the angel. "Taelfagn took nine from our world and broke them under his infernal 'Truth', and these nine opened the way for Abigor to lead his legions in laying waste to our world. Lifasa is now a blasted husk ruled over by devils and their treacherous pawns."

Pausing a second to let that settle she continues in a tone of satisfaction, "Abigor died under our blades, and now we seek the first embers of Goldenfire so Taelfagn can follow him."

[Anastasia]

"And yet Lathander sends you here in the middle of that," The angel notes dryly. "That must not be and it must be reversed. I had thought you challengers to be tempered in my fires, but that is not what is needed."

Kascha approaches slowly, giving the prismatic wall a wide berth. "What is needed?" she asks, "There are certainly many things I think we need, but what do you think we need?"

Mirajane follows behind Kascha, "Gathgorian. We have an answer to the Duke of Destiny and to Bel. But I feel that Gathgorian may need a different answer than any of them."

[Corwin]

"Lixer?" Jaela voices with a shrug. "We still don't have anything concrete on that loser."

[Anastasia]

"I can grant one of you a blessing," Salandriel replies, "It will be an answer to whatever you make it be. I see now why Lathander sent you here, even under such absurd circumstances, as if this place was a mere trap to deter the greedy.""

[Ebiris]

"Lets trust Mirajane's intuition?" Afina suggests, for all that she thinks Gathgorian would be a laughable challenge compared to Bel and Asmodeus, their seer hasn't led them wrong so far.
