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

[Anastasia]

You'll see in a moment.

The figure is rendered visible when you pass within range of moonlight revelation, the figure watching you dispassionately.

If you're going to attack, declare so.

[Corwin]

'Now!'

With the signal given, Jaela halves the distance between them and opens up with twin Bolts of Glory!

Quickened Chain Dispel as swift lvl8, Twinned BoG as standard lvl6

How many dispel rolls? And the attack follows:

[21:46] <@Siri> roll 1d20+33+12 ranged touch
[21:46] <Rei-chan> Siri rolled : 1d20+33+12 ranged touch --> [ 1d20=17 ]{62}
[21:46] <@Siri> roll 1d20+30 SR
[21:46] <Rei-chan> Siri rolled : 1d20+30 SR --> [ 1d20=14 ]{44}
[21:48] <@Siri> roll 15d12
[21:48] <Rei-chan> Siri rolled : 15d12 --> [ 15d12=89 ]{89}

If I'm not mistaken, twin spell rolls once but applies twice (and can be saved against twice, if it allows a save). If I actually need to roll everything twice, let me know.

[Anastasia]

You're correct. Also no more dispels needed.

The bolts of glory hit the creature - and knock it back slightly and no more. No visible reaction despite being hit head on, nor did the magic fail. Then...

Simmer. Any preference here? I can let yo urun her if you'd rather do that.

Meanwhile Afina and the Master hurry down the tunnels with great stealth. You come to one that soon you can see a pair of large, lumbering orthons blocking the way, though they don't show any sign of having seen you right away.

[Ebiris]

Being both tiny and preternaturally good at hiding, Afina glides along the ceiling and over an orthon's shoulder, passing within inches of its face without being seen! She's confident the Master has his own ways of bypassing these meagre guards.

I dunno if he can stealthily tumble through their squares or if he has to use abundant step to teleport past them, but the Master knows his shit I'm sure he's got this.

[Corwin]

Lack of dispel rolls precludes a magical defense, and magic was both cast on this guy and dispelled previously so he's not some immune golem. The only ones not hit by Bolt of Glory are good outsiders and positive energy plane natives, neither of which he can be due to glowing 'evil' via Moonlight Revelations. Do I have an idea what this is? Some nonmagical form of Shield Other?

Taking ten for K:A 62, K:N 41, K:R 65, K:P 65, Spellcraft 54

[Anastasia]

Make a new Hide check for this stunt, Afina.

This creature is evil, but it is not a fiend. You've heard old stories of The Gray, a little known servant of the Queen of Air and Darkness. He is a fey, a creature of stone known to be a dispassionate observer for the Queen. It is said only holy power can reveal him, yet only the power of darkness can wound him.

It...could be him. Perhaps. Little is known of him and most is ancient legend, assuming he actually exists.

It could also be a yugoloth, the gray nonthingess suits them and is tied to them. If so, it is likely a unique outsider rather than a typical one. That fits too, and a unique outsider that you don't know can have abilities strange and mysterious.

[Ebiris]

[20:26] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+60 hide Rei
[20:26] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+60 hide Rei --> [ 1d20=8 ]{68}

[Corwin]

'I'm thinking it's a fey going by The Gray you can only wound with the power of darkness or a 'loth, so let's figure it out with a healthy dose of fire, Simmer?'

[Ebiris]

[20:43] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+47 nature, Rei
[20:43] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+47 nature, Rei --> [ 1d20=13 ]{60}

Afina will see if she has any inside knowledge on this guy.

[Anastasia]

Afina knows a little more in addition to what Jaela does. She recalls that neither law or chaos can hurt The Gray, if this is indeed him.

It is said that if The Gray is in a location, the Queen of Air and Darkness can see through his eyes.

[Ebiris]

'If it is him he can only be harmed by the unholy methods, and his presence means the Queen of Air and Darkness is paying personal attention to this area,' Afina tells everyone after a moment's thought. 'He shouldn't be aligned with devil-kind. You could try making contact, but this isn't a distraction we can really afford.'

As far as she's concerned if he's in a warzone skulking around he can't really begrudge being attacked by either side.

[Anastasia]

Meanwhile, Afina and the Master slip by the orthons, barely making the slightest breeze to disturb them. If they sensed you, they didn't show any sign of it.

Master takes 10 on Hide and Move Silently.

Meanwhile, the gray creature does not react as Simmer says, "About damn time!" She weaves magic, a massive ball of flame surrounding the creature.

Enhanced searing empowered lingering flames. Not rolling damage since moot.

Around the creature a maelstrom of fire forms. It burns around it like the eye of a devil tossed into the Lake of Fire, yet it stands amid it, barely even bothered by it. Then - !!!

Well, that provoked init. Roll it, Jaela. Not Afina, you're not in combat right now.

[Corwin]

[06:13] <@Siri> roll 1d20+17
[06:13] <Serith> Siri roll for Serith < 36 > [d20=19]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+10 Simmer
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 15 > [d20=5]
> roll 1d20+17
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 23 > [d20=6]

Init is Jaela (36) > The Gray? (23) > Simmer (15)

Open Jaela.

[Corwin]

"Why is the servant of the Queen of Air and Darkness standing alongside devils?" Jaela demands of the maybe-Gray, Gae Bolg pointed at him. "Backing Ettan is the wrong move to make. He is going down."
