Get Ettan! (Afina and Jaela, 88 days left)

[Anastasia]

The Master steps forward, "A spark onto dry kindling can destroy an entire forest, if placed at the right time."

"Yeah, now you're talking logic," Simmer grins, "You ready for this, Afina? You two may want to be ready to get the hell out of here."

[Corwin]

Since we have telepathy and all, I'll move to a safe distance once Afina and/or Simmer alert me so that I don't get charred from that utterly bullshit spell  :)

[Anastasia]

Sure. Afina, go ahead and position Simmer and yourself for this how you please, then we'll get this on the road.

[Ebiris]

Given they're not immune to each other's firebursts, it's best if Simmer steers clear along with everyone else. Afina simply waits until the lead devils reach the area around that fallen steeple, reinforcements trailing behind them all along the disparate paths stretching throughout this unholy midden... and then things happen.

6th level slot sacrificed for 1 round of time stop, during which Afina casts planar bubble on herself.

The area in the centre gets suddenly hotter as an invisible pixie descends there, perhaps not noticed much by the fire-immune devils, though the more astute may notice a few things beginning to smoulder. They don't have long to notice however before a fire conflagration detonates in their midst!

Searing/blistering contagious fireburst cast, using fire apotheosis to energy admixture it for effectively double damage.
[17:55] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+33 SR
[17:55] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+33 SR --> [ 1d20=14 ]{47}
420 damage in a 15 foot radius, DC 38 reflex half.
Anyone that dies will then detonate in a similar 15 foot radius blast for 420 damage with the same SR check and same save for anyone caught in that explosion. And so on and so forth until the chain runs out of victims.
Fire damage ignores resistance/immunity and does 250% damage on things vulnerable to fire.

The devils come from all directions, from land and air. They rush Afina as she freezes time, her trap sprung as an explosive fireburst erupts.

Chaos.

Burst after burst.

When it all clears, the entire Broken Cathedral is ablaze, at least as far as all of you can see. No devils nearby, only an inferno begun through Afina's power.

[Corwin]

Jaela claps. It seems like the thing to do.

[Anastasia]

"That is why fire is the best magic," Simmer says with a fond smile, clapping as well.

[Ebiris]

Afina wears a fairly smug look on her adorable little face as she winks into visibility after that. "I think we're done, though I could make some volcanoes to be sure. Unless anyone else wants to do something?" she says as she flies back to regroup with the others, keeping a polite distance so as not to singe anyone with her planar bubble.

[Corwin]

'I think we should mix it up this time,' Jaela thinks to the rest of the group. 'Wait for their first heavy responders and take those out, too. Make this a lot more unpredictable to the defenders next time. Unless Balyss expects bullshit on the level of Taelfagn or Bel?'

[Anastasia]

The Master merely nods, "Our strength is far from spent, we need not retire right away."

[Corwin]

"Volcanoes would be great, however," Jaela muses out loud. "We can fly, and this place supposedly has a defiled central spot? Let's kill it with fire."

For her part, she tries to figure out whether more extreme measures are needed here, as they were with the ghost-ridden land prior.

[Ebiris]

"It would make them more leery of rushing in reinforcements next time," Afina acknowledges the wisdom of Jaela's plan. "Lets look around to see if anything noteworthy survived the blaze? Sticking together, of course."

[Anastasia]

Jaela doesn't see anything suggesting those are needed at the current time.

[Corwin]

"Nothing supernatural about this, at least. Just the usual defilement," Jaela says, leaving the search for landmarks and enemies both to those with better eyesight. Her own guard remains up in case someone gets close enough she'll need to strike!

[Ebiris]

Afina will take 10 for 57 on searching around for anything interesting that survived the blaze
