Miasma (Moore, 86 days left)

[Anastasia]

Around you is empty space to the prismatic walls and ahead. The Nessians are out of your range for it, but faintly visible in the miasma of Smoke. The way ahead is mostly clear at least. Moore isn't in your range.

[Corwin]

'We leave on Go,' Jaela thinks succinctly to Afina, standing tranquil amidst exploding hellballs and flensing darkness. 'Three... two... one...'

And then time stops.

[21:36] <@Louise> roll 1d4+1
[21:36] <Serith> Louise roll for Serith < 5 > [d4=4]

Not wasting a moment of it, Jaela casts enough defensive spells to more than challenge a Nessian one on one and then decides to explore!

Round 1: Moonlight Revelation, Recitation, Mass Heal. Move 140ft towards the distant Nessians, see if I can spot Moore, Jetina, Westwind or Finnegan.

Round 2: Drop my dimensional interdiction, channel twinned Gae Assail into Gae Bolg, Celestial Valor, Divine Favor.

If I see nothing, I'll double-move in the other direction (280ft) and check there in Round 3.
If I still see nothing, I'll return to my original position, summon Mountainous Fire, use Holy Warrior and open a Gate on Round 4.

Please let me know if I see anything or not.

[Anastasia]

At the end of round one you can see Moore and what's left of Jetina - her gear mostly - but no sign of Finnegan or Westwind.

[Ebiris]

And on round one... of that.

'Oh, you stopped time? What's the status of our allies?' Afina appears out of the smog, flying down to rejoin Jaela.

[Corwin]

'What a welcome surprise,' Jaela thinks to Afina, showing far more relief than she would have allowed herself during a pitched battle. 'That new girl, Jetina? She's gone. Moore's still hanging in there, from a Nessian's claw. No sign of Finnegan or Westwind, I'll keep looking.'

Just to be on the safe side, she gives her direction, speed and distance to Afina via telepathy, so they won't lose track of one another.

Altered Round 2: I'll head further in that direction (up to 280ft) and look for Finnegan and Westwind. Spells cast are Celestial Valor and Divine Favor.

[Anastasia]

You go - more Nessians but thinning out, no sign of Westwind and Finnegan.

[Ebiris]

"I'll deal with getting Moore free," Afina says. "Once time restarts I'll open a gate for us to leave and go."

She starts off by leaving some holly fire seeds on the nessian's back so she can detonate them when time resumes. That'll be far enough away from Moore to keep him safe.

Casting fire seeds for my round 2 action. That'll be 280 fire damage (half vs immune unfortunately), DC 34 ref half. No SR at least.

[Anastasia]

Cool. Round 3-5, you two?

[Corwin]

'For fuck's sake, the Nessians are crowding this place for hundreds of feet!' Jaela exclaims in her mind. She feels terrible given her promise to the Triune, but if this situation can't be an exception what possibly applies?

'No sign of those two. I'm going to circle back to Moore from the south. Can you explore to the north of them? Same radius from Moore's location, about 140ft.'

Round 3: Heading for a position 140ft 'below' Moore, ie to the south on a map. I'll drop my dimensional interdiction, use Holy Warrior and summon Mountainous Fire right next to Moore as a handy beacon.

[Anastasia]

Still no sign of them that Jaela finds.

[Corwin]

Jaela returns to Moore and spends a moment with Jetina's remains, packing them away into a bag of holding for a proper burial rather than leaving it for the devils.

Round 4: Return to Moore and Jetina, collect Jetina and her things.

[Ebiris]

Round 3 Afina moves 120 feet North and drops a delayed blast fireball where it'll scorch the pit fiend without hurting Moore.

[20:07] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+33 searing delayed blast fireball SR
[20:07] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d20+33 searing delayed blast fireball SR --> [ 1d20=15 ]{48}

That's 162 damage ignoring immunty, DC 35 ref half.

[Anastasia]

There's a lot of things on the ground. Jetina's an outsider who died off plane, she doesn't leave a lot behind besides her possessions. How are you going to gather them quickly?

[Corwin]

I see. In that case, as there's no body I'll focus on what I can from:

[Waist]Belt of Magnificence+6
[Weapon]The Lost: Longsword+5, holy and evil outsider bane.
[Armor]Full Plate+7.
[Shield]Heavy Steel Shield+7

In that order. They'll probably conveniently together.

More importantly, does Afina see Westwind or Finnegan from the final direction I haven't explored?

[Anastasia]

She does not.
