Yet more hoarding (Surraruthru)

[Iron Dragoon]

"Hmm.. Is there anyone in Aurora that would be a good choice? Afina, obviously, but she seemed busy."

[Anastasia]

"We don't really have an ice specialist," Kascha admits, "The problem is that most people who specialize in ice follow Auril." Kascha shivers, "She's mean and terrible, cruel as a winter wind. It's an area evil has a bit of an edge over good on."

"So go for those who can't be hurt by the cold," Tannin drawls, "Or those who can enchant you against it. Hey Elena, pop in here and tell us who fits."

Elena appears on command, dressed up like Canderella today, in a pretty little black dress. "Well," she picks right on off, "You can't freeze Hanna, 27 tried. Ebony too, angels are like that. I hear they have too much warm love in them to freeze. Mirajane and Cresiel also qualify for that."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I would prefer Ebony. I have dealt with her before, and I would like to strengthen our alliance. I have future plans with which she will make... easier."

[Anastasia]

"I'll tell her," Elena says, vanishing.

"Right, right," Kascha scribbles, "If we wait until tomorrow, I can prepare my spells properly," she says, "What about you, Surraruthru?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I agree. I will have to prepare quite differently than previously."

[Anastasia]

"Yes," Kascha says, "What spells are you thinking of? We'll need spells suited to the terrain, spells to explore and also some spells to protect ourselves."

[Iron Dragoon]

"I can memorize a number to give us benefits while there, and to protect ourselves... I have a few that deal in cold damage and stopping water or transforming it to acid. I'll have Wand with me, of course, but only for emergencies since he specializes in fire."

[Anastasia]

"I'll get ready for it," Kascha says.

Want to go grab Ebony for this or have Kascha do it offscreen?

[Iron Dragoon]

Kascha can do it for expedience.

[Anastasia]

Ebony meets Kascha and Surraruthru at Aurora's gate. Ebony is dressed down, her normal black robe is gone. She wears a simple two piece swimsuit of sturdy, thick cloth. She wears a vest over it as well as a cloak, and you can see hints of a corset poking out from the edges of the swimsuit. Kascha just wears light clothes, nothing too loose.

"How will we proceed?" Ebony asks right away. "What spells will be use?"

Both are out of normal clothes due to practical considerations. Robes underwater are a hassle and slow you down. Magical gear's tolerated and protected.

I'm going to proceed assuming that between spell memorizing and prep, Surraruthru has connected Kascha and Ebony to the Eldritch Tapestry.

"I plan to negate Crystal Reef Sea's freezing with Energy Absorption; all three of us will benefit from it. I'll then cast the spells Transformation of the Deeps and Cloak of the Sea on us all; this will let us all breathe water and move freely. I will also be giving us all Greater Mage Armor. Beyond that, I plan to generally improve everyone's abilities, focus on counterspelling, which I can share with you two to a limited degree, and use combat magic. I've focused on cold, water, and acid spells for this."

Spoiler: ShowHide

I'll post the spells:
Cloak of the Sea (Masters of the Wild: A Guidebook to Barbarians, Druids, and Rangers)
While underwater, the subject functions as if affected by blur, freedom of movement, and water breathing and doesn't suffer subdual damage from water pressure or hypothermia for the duration of the spell.
CL 24, 24 hour duration, Tapestry Legal.

Transformation of the Deeps (Stormwrack)
The target of this spell gains the ability to breathe water and is rendered immune to damage from both the temperature and the pressure in extreme depths of water.
Additionally, she gains darkvision out to 60 feet.
CL 24, 24 hour duration, Tapestry Legal

Energy Absorption (Complete Mage, p. 103)
The subject gains resistance 10 against all five energy types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic.
As an immediate action, the subject can cause the spell to absorb the power of a single energy-based attack. The subject gains immunity to any energy types used in that attack (but only for that attack), and also heals a number of points of damage equal to 1/2 the damage the effect would normally have caused. For instance, if a red dragon breathes fire on the subject for 87 points of damage, he could decide as an immediate action to absorb the effect, thus healing 43 points of damage instead of taking any damage. Hit points in excess of the subject's normal maximum are lost. Taking advantage of this function ends the duration of the spell.
CL 27, 27 hour duration, Tapestry Legal

Mage Armor, Greater
+6 armor bonus to Armor Class.
CL 24, 24 hour duration, Tapestry Legal

First off, cloak of the sea is updated in the Spell Compendium. It's mostly the same except it's a 6th level sor/wiz spell and it stops all nonlethal damage instead of only subdual (which isn't a 3.5 term anyway) damage from water pressure. So check and update for that version of the spell.

"Good work," Kascha claps agreeably, before heading out into the water. Ebony smiles slightly and follows, the three heading out. As they do, "Who's managing the teleport?"

Gotcha, I'll update my notes.

Surraruthru stares blankly at Ebony for a moment.

"I... neglected to prepare that spell."

Kascha closes her eyes and slowly sighs, then perks up, "Don't worry, one of Seira's lessons is applicable here. It goes, 'You can never have enough teleportation.' I can teleport myself at will, though."

Ebony glances back, her black hair flowing freely behind her for once, instead of held back. Her voice is clear with the magics you have on you, "I can teleport us to and back many times." She offers her hands out, "Take a hand and form a circle."

[Iron Dragoon]

Surraruthru slices through the water like a water-born serpent, taking full advantage of the rare opportunity to indulge in his swimming ability, to come to rest on one of Ebony's arms, curling around it like a snake.
