To make the glass full (Afina)

[Anastasia]

Pain.

It hurts so much.

Afina bleeds from a hundred tiny cuts all over her body. Her spider-silk dress is badly sliced, parts of it falling away under the barrage. But she's doing it, ever so slowly withstanding it and bringing it within her. Every moment of it makes her bleed from more cuts, everything within her shaking tremendously. Her vision is impossible to focus, her body rocking back and forth uncontrollably. She can feel bile rising up in her throat - but slowly, ever so slowly, she's drawing air into herself.

Act.

[Ebiris]

No matter how badly it hurts, Afina keeps up her desperate dance, keeps on moving before being moved. The only way out is through, and so she endures like the earth even as she flies like the wind!

[Anastasia]

Con check with a +5 bonus, Afina. Gooood luck.

[Anastasia]

Afina, are you sure that's right. That's lower than your previous checks with a similar modifier. It's a +5 bonus to your existing Con, not a replacement.

[Ebiris]

My bad, yeah. con is 17 so +8 total for 15

[Anastasia]

Afina holds on - barely. But she's bleeding so much, head spinning. It's all she can do to hold on and not tear apart under the energies. She needs more. She has to have more. If she doesn't, the growing maelstrom within her will explode out, ripping body and soul apart like old rags.

Go, Afina. You can feel things inside of you and they aren't good. They're raging without control and fighting.

[Ebiris]

She needs to buy a little time. Focusing a haste spell into herself, compounding upon it over and over, she accelerates herself beyond reason far faster than the world around her. Like this the wind is stationary compared to the pixie, letting her move amidst it at leisure and hopefully get some of her equilibrium back by the time it starts moving relative to her once more.

[Anastasia]

It helps. She's hurting, bleeding, shaking. But slowing the wind helps a little, and when it expires, she's better braced to endure. But damage has been done and she's struggling to hold on and finish this.

Con check, +4 bonus. G'luck.

[Anastasia]

Almost...almost...almost...

Overwhelming pain as Afina's skin splits open. Blood pours out as well as earth, fire, air and water. Everything vanishes save for one thing, 40ft ahead. The four elements from your body form together in front of you, a creature. A tornado of wind with fire blazing in it, arms of earth and legs of water.

Afina pants, shaking and injured. Her dress is mere scraps of cloth now, doing little to hide her body or stop her bleeding. She kneels there, gasping for air as she sees it form.

She can feel it. The malice from it, the contempt. The elementals will not be so cheaply combined. Ancient wars do not fall to a mere pixie's will. As one they advance on her, resistance to the very idea she embodies.

Init here. You're itemless so bear that in mind. Also you've lost half of your hit points due to damage and bleeding, so adjust that in your spoiler block. Good luck.

Go Afina.

[Ebiris]

Ahh, this would be that final trial 27 warned her about. Drawing herself up as elements swirl about her, flecks of rock, droplets of water, embers of flame, all carried forth on unseen winds, Afina's appearance stabilises back into what she once looked like as a fey, skin pale but not unnaturally so, hair a pale green. "I suppose it was just a temporary ceasefire," she reflects, breath coming raggedly as she draws herself back up. "Prepare yourself, then!" Channeling magic into herself, for this is no mere internal test of the spirit, she speeds herself up massively and casts some of her usual beneficial spells!

8th level slot sacced for 3 rounds time stop, casting greater mage armour, greater heroism, and moment of prescience

That done she takes flight, flying twenty feet into the air. "Here we go then, fire and earth!" she shouts, raising her hand as a quartet of rocky missiles manifest above her outstretched grasp, dull whumps heard as each is wreathed in flames before the air screams as it's split by their passage, rocketing straight at the omni-elemental!

Meteor swarm cast.

The meteors fly out, pelting your foe like missiles. Yet it barely budges from them, watery legs boiling and tornado still spinning. The reaches reaches out, a javelin of swirling air and crackling fire in its grasp. It leans back and hurls it right at Afina.

> roll 1d20+34 vs 52
<Plushie_Ithea> Space_Cat roll for Plushie_Ithea < 36 > [d20=2]

But Afina's still much too fast. She turns into a blur of air, juking out of the way of the javelin. It sails off into nothingness, missing her narrowly.

Go Afina.
