Boots on the ground (Moore)

[Anastasia]

Your forces are spreading out and then you hear Adrian, 'Alright, you're going to be with me. We're coming around to you, Moore. Hold position.'

[Nephrite]

'Understood.'

He'll just wait!

[Anastasia]

Adrian soon em-!

You startle as he flies up into your field of vision, his skull mask on. "Let's go. Elementals, rejoin the main force and help guard above, as well as escort any refugees or captives."

[Nephrite]

"This will be nostalgic." Moore says with a small smile, trying to keep Adrian's (his?) spirits up, while his fingers distractedly continue to play.

[Anastasia]

As you say that, you get a message, 'To all officers: The unknown threat that killed Canderella has tentatively been identified as an assassin devil, also known as a dogai. If you need a refresher on dogai lore, send me a message and it will be provided. It has abilities above that of normal dogai.'

Adrian grunts, "Familiar with them?"

[Nephrite]

"I can't say I've ever met one." Moore says. "I doubt meeting one will be a lot of fun."

'Tepen, this is Moore. I could use whatever information you can provide.'

[Anastasia]

"They're sneaky, invisible bastards. If you can't see the unseen, you probably won't see them until yo uhave a sword sticking out of your chest," Adrian says. "They're able to hit vital spots well like I can, and can dodge fireballs like Afina can. They have the protections all devils do but they can't summon other devils."

At the same time Tepen says, 'Dogai are known as assassin devils. They are masters of a special step that allows them invisibility and strike with lethal precision. They are masters of hit and run tactics. They are usually loners that work and kill alone. Means to see the invisible are highly recommended, as are fortified armors or spells such as stone or iron body.'

[Nephrite]

'Thanks, Tepen.'

Moore nods to Adrian and taps the mask. "Hopefully this will take care of it. Where are we going to go from here -- are we looking for something to hit?"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, got another target lined up. C'mon, you're with me so we watch each other's backs, and maybe give the bastard a good fight if we have to." Adrian says, "A single bard isn't safe now, you're a huge target for that assassin."

[Nephrite]

Moore just nods. He'd be insulted, but what he said isn't untrue at all.

"Lead the way. Just be aware that I'll probably have to stop helping the others to focus on this." Moore advises.

[Anastasia]

You're lead a block down. The streets are muddy and messy, refugees being lead by air elementals, while more corporeal soldiers lead defeated enemies back. You come around to a long, narrow street full of buildings. The street is clogged with barricades - one after another, archers firing from behind covered barbazu. At the far end of the street is a dead end with a four story tower rising up.

Adrian draws Gaelach is an arrow whizzes by both of us, "The soldiers are taking care of this. We break through these barricades - I know we could fly over, but the point is to smash the devils - and crash that tower. We think coordination's coming from in there." In the sky above there's a burst of fiery light, a series of fireballs erupting. Air elementals converge on a cornugon, 10 on 1 as they brawl in the skies above.

Chance to react or add your two cents.

[Nephrite]

Moore nods. "I'll cast some spells to enhance us before we go, then." He says as he gets to work!

Surge of Hope on himself and Adrian, Conviction and Tyche's touch. He'll also cast Haste right before they go.

Surge of Hope & Haste are CL25, Conviction & Tyche's Touch as CL 14.

[Anastasia]

You're gonna get some arrows if you spend a few rounds casting. You okay with that?

[Nephrite]

Yes. AC Is 61 for your ease of reference.

Doesn't beat his damage reduction 15/epic, so no damage.

Are all the spells on both of you>
