[Corwin]

Jaela will cast Grace (swift) and Sign as they set off.

[Anastasia]

As a standard action for sign, Jaela?

[Corwin]

You know what, I have multiaction and two swifts. Let's live large without standars~

[Anastasia]

Afina and Seira race along. Soon you see it in the smoky, choking fog ahead. Portals - portals opening all around, Nessians pouring out. Over a dozen to be sure and more ahead, only glimpsed in the fog. They're currently about 60ft away at the farthest, just coming into visual range.

[Ebiris]

Presumably with my 200 foot blindsight I can tell that Moore and friends are in there as well, before I start indiscriminately fireballing things?

[Anastasia]

Yes, at the edge of it. So they're approximately 200ft away.

[Ebiris]

Can I get a count of how many nessians I can sense within my blindsight and what sort of spacing they have?

[Corwin]

My blindsight may only extend to 60ft, but between that and a mental link with Afina how many could I target with Burst of Glory? As a reminder, it is a range of 100ft for me.

[Anastasia]

A little under four dozen and mostly converging towards Moore and friends.

100ft per level, Jaela?

[Corwin]

No, 100ft total at my CL.

[Ebiris]

Assuming there's more nessians equally spaced in all directions outside the range of her blindsight? 'We're looking at nearly two hundred Nessian Pit Fiends,' she reports to Jaela and Tepen.

Which begs the question of why no one's dead yet. It doesn't matter how good your spell resistance is, they can throw down enough magic to blast through it and turn everyone there to a fine mist. Even she'd expect to be killed within seconds against those numbers, sheer volume would overwhelm her ability to dodge. 'I think they're holding back deliberately, probably to lure reinforcements like us in so they can strike at full strength then.'

Actually can Tepen even hear her or are they being interdicted like Moore is?

[Anastasia]

Thanks, needed the clarity, Jaela.

You could get half a dozen with it.

No reply from Tepen.

[Corwin]

'How horrifying,' Jaela mutters in Afina's mind. 'I can take out half a dozen in the direct path, or get in real close and double that. Preference?'

[Ebiris]

'Get in close and double it,' Afina responds reluctantly. 'All we can hope to do is try and clear a path for our allies to evacuate, even then the numbers are extreme. I'll follow up with an avalanche to at least disable some.' Not for very long given they can teleport, but a temporary reprieve might be enough.
