Afina and Jaela's planning session (Afina, Jaela)

[Corwin]

That's an eternity in combat. Jaela steals a look at the caverns, asking 27, "Do you know whether Aurora passed my orders on to her?"

A few minutes of traveling at top speed, even for a badger, should put the groups outside her range. So they can probably plane shift without interference--

"Also, any ideas whether dimensional travel is possible down there?"

[Anastasia]

"They are as we speak," 27 paces a bit, "I can see them, but not this."

27 pauses. "I...think so," he finally says, looking to Jaela, pausing completely.

[Corwin]

"I know I'm outside fate or whatever bullshit you diviners use, but what do you think of this? I can either teleport you there after a passable description of the place, or come along with you. The devils will come pouring soon after, but we'll be able to get Hanna and Simmer, then repeat it for Afina's group. Give me some odds for this, along with the regular travel distance between their two groups."

[Anastasia]

27 is silent again.

"Can you drop your own teleport block," he finally asks.

[Corwin]

"I could if we're scrubbing this," Jaela responds. "We're not sacrificing our own out of some hope for a perfect win." She snorts, then. "More perfect than what we already got, anyway. So come on, tell me if my plan's viable. I'm good for two perfect teleports in succession, but then I'm out, so we need you to either be able to describe their locations or tell me Afina's group is close enough to Hanna's that we could afford one mistake."

[Anastasia]

"I think so, now," 27 says. "Something's happening -" A full stop, "Bel's coming from below. Like a fiend from the depths of Hell, not an angel from the sky."

[Corwin]

"Man, fuck Bel," Jaela snaps. "Change of plans."

She stops time with a thought, and then drops the spell barring dimensional travel with another. A Gate is opened to a random spot on Elysium, and she pushes the chariot through it.

Due to the Goldenfire spear, she should be above divinations of any sort, and so the devils should be taken by surprise at her actions. That means she has a shot, before the tear is reopened and they capitalize on things.

As time resumes, she gestures for 27 to go through while using her personal connection to the Triune to Send a message to Hanna, Simmer, Afina, Baleruk, Surraruthrue, Tepen and Vul'lath. 'Bel coming from below. Unable to assist in time. Taking down dimensional interdiction now. Escape off plane at once! That's an order! Evacuating myself.'

And then all that's left is to step through herself.

If I can only make a Sending that goes to two people like I originally asked, they would be Hanna and Afina.

[Anastasia]

Pausing you for the moment since Iddy and Eb need to catch up.

[Anastasia]

Dex check, Jaela.

[Corwin]

[21:46] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+7+2 +23 more if moment of prescience can apply
[21:46] <Serith> Annerose roll for Serith < 21 > [d20=12]

[Anastasia]

What sort of action was the miracle, a standard action?

[Corwin]

Yes, and the move action is to move through the portal as I speak.

[Anastasia]

The portal...tears. As you go through it begins to tear itself apart, but you feel something. 27 tackling you, pushing both of you through it as it tears apart. Your own words echo around you as you feel like you're plummeting, out of control and free-falling.

You land in paradise. You land besides a brook passing through a light forest, the feel of Elysium washing away the discomfort you previously felt.

Meanwhile...

> roll 1d20+8 Hanna
<Serith> Space_Cat roll for Serith < 20 > [d20=12]

[Corwin]

Jaela just lies there for a moment to catch her breath, before Elysium rejuvenates her enough to flip over on her back. Staring up at the sky, she muses, "Team effort, eh?"

No replies came back, though they might've gotten delayed due to the strange echo, so she turns to the next best thing. "How are Afina's party and Mom's group?"

[Anastasia]

Afina: I think we made it just in time. That wasn't a fight we were prepared for. And I shudder to think what Bel's presence will-

As you hear that, 27 lies next to you. "I think they made it, my vision is clearing," 27 says. "Not even Bel will challenge Elysium, the House of Nature and Archangels by attacking us here. I think he had his own means of stopping escape going up, so we made it just in the gap."
