The Rime Tower (Afina, 86 days left)

[Ebiris]

Wanting to hurry along, Afina casts a haste spell on everyone. "It'll all burn soon," she reassures the group.

Okay, marching order?

I'd also like spot and listen checks from everyone.

[Ebiris]

Afina takes 10 for 80 on spot and listen. She has all-around vision, see invisible/ethereal, and blindsight 200

Marching order is Afina, Crystal/Hope, Jaela, Bubbles, Cresiel

[Corwin]

As for Jaela's senses, she takes 10 for Spot 49 and Listen 26. Blindsight 60ft, as usual.

[Anastasia]

As you go, Afina's superhuman vision notes something. The tiny, insectile eyes of all the vermin are watching you, staring at you. Hard to see without vision far above mortal, but Afina manages it.

[Ebiris]

'Every single insect is watching us, these aren't just grisly set dressing I'm certain their vision is being relayed to a devil somewhere. Abandon stealth entirely,' Afina sends telepathically to the others as the winds surrounding the group flare up to the intensity of a tornado, a violent cyclone extending over a thousand feet in every direction.

DC 30 fort or get fucked if you're a tiny swarmy creature, basically. If you're large or smaller this applies:
Blown Away: Creatures on the ground are knocked prone and rolled 1d4×10 feet, taking 1d4 points of nonlethal damage per 10 feet. Flying creatures are blown back 2d6×10 feet and take 2d6 points of nonlethal damage due to battering and buffeting.

As the winds move violently to her will she rises further into the air and starts flying directly for the tower at the best speed she can manage while still keeping her allies within the eye of her personal storm.

[Corwin]

Boosting her speed and the overall resistance of the group, Jaela follows Afina's lead!

Grace CL30 on self, Recitation CL30 on everyone in the group.

Also, since I haven't posted this yet:
Hidden Dawn used with Cresiel
Gae Bolg: GMW, Keen Edge
Gae Trocaire: GMW, Keen Edge

Golden Bracers (Hidden Dawn):
Searing Light at will as an SLA
Flame Strike at will
Immunity to fire
Save bonuses increase to +7
Goldenfire damage on weapon damage rolls, natural attacks and spells and spell-like abilities with the fire

descriptor rises to +4d6, unlimited range as long as on same plane.

[Anastasia]

Okay, how fast can you all get to the tower? Assume it's a flat mile away for math.

[Ebiris]

Bubbles is our slowest at speed 30 (60 with haste). Assuming we hustle it'd take four and a half minutes.

You rush the tower in the eye of the storm. Bugs of all kind are battered aside, pushed away. While a few make it through, they are little threat to you alone. On and on you fly, now only 1000ft from the tower. A tower with no windows, bleak ice and stone woven together. No entrance that you can see, like a pillar rather than a tower someone would live in.

Except for what looks to be forces gathering on the roof, of course. Gelugons if you don't miss your guess at this range, along with...things. Insectile things, horrid things.

[Corwin]

Jaela refreshes the short-term spells she cast earlier, and now a fresh one joins them as they continue closing the distance.

Recitation CL30 on the group. Grace CL30 and Moonlight Revelation CL30 on self.

[Ebiris]

Haste refreshed en route. Not radius of my control winds is 1,080 feet, although it's only 40 feet high so those on top of the tower are likely safe. For now.

"They're organising on the roof," Afina tells everyone. "Earthquake, Jaela?" It'd take a few to bring down a structure like that, but in the immediate term it'll throw off their response and Jaela has spells to spare for the task. The base of the tower is already being lashed by tornado force winds which can't helping its stability much either.

Trusting Jaela will do her bit, Afina exercises her own control over the Earth and makes it shudder beneath the tower!

Earthquake SLA
Structure
Any structure standing on open ground takes 100 points of damage, enough to collapse a typical wooden or masonry building, but not a structure built of stone or reinforced masonry. Hardness does not reduce this damage, nor is it halved as damage dealt to objects normally is. Any creature caught inside a collapsing structure takes 8d6 points of bludgeoning damage (Reflex DC 15 half) and is pinned beneath the rubble (see below).

[Corwin]

Doing one better, Jaela sends a twinned earthquake in tandem with Afina's!

Have two more.

[Anastasia]

Earthquakes rock the ground, a trio of them one after another. They make the ground violently toss, the tower starting to crumble before you - and then it stops. The tower rises up, surrounded by pale red energy. Cracks mend themselves as the tower flies towards you.

"AURORA!" The voice is one you know, having heard before. Mala's voice echos around you, "Thank you for coming to your deaths!"

Gelugons and other creatures race back into the tower, flying into it. Insects buzz in the storm, the tower resisting the tornado winds, story after story relentless in coming right at you.

Init. Congratulations, you're fighting an entire tower.
