Smith (Jaela, Calleigh, Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

Yes, Surraruthru.

With all the magic they can - hallows that weaken the essence of Gehenna here, causing to to burn like paper in the fire, rays of disintegration that crumble stone into dust, blasts of sound that pulverize stone into pebbles and the power of your anarchs to simply change the mountain before you - it splits wide open. Ahead is unchecked, uncontrolled chaos on a vast scale. Fire and water swirl in battle, air and earth collide. Forests and plains mutate into one another, while a grossly too large sun slowly morphs into a moon and back again. The way ahead is clear, the noise of battle behind your army - for now.

Act as you will, though note that doing anything but going ahead does invite the battle to catch up with you.

"Cresiel, cover our rear," Jaela orders. "Tepen, Vul'lath, you're in charge of long-range attacks. Keep the pressure up on the demons as long as we're in range!"

The orders given, she drifts closer to Ithea while the army continues to advance and asks her quietly, "Do you think you could take on the Hanged Raven? One of us really should deal with it."

[Merc]

Ithea nods firmly. "I'll be fine as long as I have a bit of support. And you? Will you be fine with the chaos ahead? Or want to keep both Baleruk and Moore for pushing forward?"

[Corwin]

"I want to keep them, Cresiel, Tryll and Kascha," Jaela agrees. "An army moves at the pace of the slowest soldier, while an elite strikeforce under your command would be much swifter. It won't take that long for you and any of your support to deal with Pale Night's minion and catch up."

[Merc]

"Alright. I'll take the officers that were with me minus those two, and replace them with Canderella and Simmer if you have no objections. I'll leave the bulk of the soldiers with you for speed and only grab a small detachment of the fastest amongst the forces," Ithea says.

If Jaela has no objections, she'll split off to grab her strike force and deal with the Hanged Raven.

[Anastasia]

Okay, lay out who is going where, including all forces, so I can split y'all up again.

[Merc]

Ithea's group for Hanged Raven: Canderella, Simmer, Crystal, Misalea, Arrel, Stille, Origin.

Deciding not to take any of the forces since there are already NPC forces there, and all the officers are high level and relatively fast in Astral.

Jaela's group for chaos ahead: Everyone else.

[Iron Dragoon]

As the others split the forces, Surrarutru takes the opportunity to cast a spell on himself.

Recasting Battlemagic Perception.

Duration: 24 minutes.

[Yuthirin]

Time check please? For the glory of Chaos?

Tryll continues to administrate and orchestrate. Calleigh continues to Calleigh.

[Anastasia]

Ithea and Moore into a new topic.

It's been an hour now, Tryll.

Jaela and friends, advancing onward in that case? Same SO{ for dealing with the chaos?

[Nephrite]

I think Moore is intended to stay with the main forces and not go with Ithea, unless I misunderstood.

[Anastasia]

Okay then. Quick check to make sure this was understood all around. Merc? Cor? Once it is I'll adjust as needed. Hold off on the other thread until then.

[Corwin]

This is correct. We advance heroically! Baleruk and Moore make our passage more pleasant and counter Limbo's effects, our regular troops deploy holy power and dimensional locks for stabilization as needed.

[Anastasia]

Okay, will adjust topics and get things rolling.

[Anastasia]

For reference and since a combat's happened, could I get a new anarch roll from Moore?
