The Twin Nephilim (Afina, Jaela)

[Anastasia]

'She's being escorted towards the tower Afina took,' Tepen replies, 'I'm also talking ot Adrian now about a counter-action, he's furious.'

"Okay," Dana crackls her knuckles, "Motherfucker has to die now."

[Corwin]

"It attacked me," Jaela says curtly. "When straight out killing me didn't take, it sprinkled the Dust of Jubilex over me. Weapon smelled of poison. Blade imbued with negative energy and evil. Went past all defenses except elemental body. Humanoid, my size. Black skin. Muscular. Twisting skin. Lean. Appeared briefly when striking. True seeing or invisibility-busting only revealed it for a few moments. Repeated castings worked each time, but it was very quick. Escaped from my sight despite true seeing and a 1400 feet radius dimensional travel ban. I hit it, 21 hit it. It survived."

'On our way,' she sends to Tepen, before adding out loud, "Afina, take us to the tower that you seized."

[Ebiris]

Now that's some good information! "Having the firre eladrin chain-cast invisibility purge in the area when it's suspected to be present seems a good idea if single castings have a brief effect but don't stick," she says, already working towards solutions. "Lets go and show that Hiya and Hiwa aren't the only devil trump cards that die today," she turns and starts flying back towards the Dreamseer temple.

[Anastasia]

Flying down and not teleporting then, all of you? Just to be clear.

[Ebiris]

Yes, I'm not spending two more 9th level slots on movement when it's not a crisis.

[Anastasia]

As you fly down, Tepen sends to both of you, 'Do you have a plan of action yet?'

[Corwin]

"Proposal," Jaela sends to Tepen, saying it out loud at the same time. "Assassin targets officers. Assassin disrupts telepathy. Officers should be paired off and keep in constant telepathic contact. If telepathy breaks, immediate dodging. Assign plenty of firre and others who can disrupt invisibility to personal guard for each officer. Have them use it in waves if telepathy breaks. Elemental body or stone body protections for all officers. Can we start working with this?"

[Anastasia]

'I can,' Tepen says, 'We'll need to divide our troops a bit. I'll have firre ready for you at the tower.'

[Corwin]

"On top of tested methods, try anything that disrupts invisibility. If fresh methods like glitterdust work, we'll rely on them fully," Jaela continues. "Officers are to be at the peak of their health and to avoid direct combat in the meantime. We will take the brunt of anything requiring special skills."

To Tepen only, she summarizes the pertinent details she knows of and had shared with the others earlier, asking for more details should he get them.

[Anastasia]

'Yes,' Tepen says, 'Adrian and Moore are suggesting paint, that would work just as well as glitterdust. We're getting some together, we'll have runners bring it ot the tower and to other officer groups.'

[Corwin]

"How far are we from taking the entire city?" Jaela once more asks both her companions and Tepen.

"Primary resistance is largely crumbled or is being destroyed as we speak,' Tepen sends, 'Besides the dogai, operations have been universally successful. The idea that this may merely be a stage for the dogai to work has not escaped us.'

[Corwin]

'Good to hear,' she responds, still curt.

Let's reach Balyss, I'd like to ensure her safety and get Restored.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d100
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=24 ]{24}

The trip back to the tower is unremarkable. Balyss awaits there, surrounded by firre eladrin. Moonlight's nearby as well. "Hey!" Balyss calls and waves as you land, no combat nearby, just empty streets, with battles going on in farther-away parts of the city.

[Corwin]

"Hey," Jaela returns. "I need you to Restore me from the dogai's crap. Can you?"
