More Offensives (Afina and Jaela; 84 days left)

[Ebiris]

Is there a particular source for the whirring? Anything on blindsight beyond what I can see?

[Anastasia]

It's coming from the air all around you, unnaturally so.

[Ebiris]

Any relevant knowledge or spellcraft?

Taking 10 for 55 on arcana/planes/spellcraft or 57 on nature if any are relevant

[Anastasia]

Something is agitating the air around you. Odd, that's either specialized magic or a powerful air elemental. It's a sign something windy and explosive is about to happen.

[Ebiris]

"Brace yourselves!" Afina calls, stilling the air around them as best she can!

I still have control winds up, using that to make the air still. Takes a standard action so that's my turn, I'll use a swift on Afame for +4 dodge to AC.

[Anastasia]

The winds still at this, the whirring sound ceasing to Afina's keen ears.

The first gelugon continues to hold his position, taking a defensive stance as magic wraps around Dana - but nothing happens.

Adrian and Jaela. Go Jaela.

[Corwin]

Jaela decides to kill everything in sight! Afina's warning means she's reserving her magic in case she needs to send an interrupt, but that just means she's free to eliminate this gelugon!

[20:18] <@Armand> roll 1d20+51+7
[20:18] <Serith> Armand roll for Serith < 60 > [d20=2]
[20:19] <@Armand> roll 12d8+138+6+4d6+4d6+18

[Anastasia]

Init is Afina (54) > Adrian (27) > Jaela (25) > Shield Line (23) > Dana (20)

Jaela's blow just tears the gelugon in half, insectoid devil obliterated in holy flames. Meanwhile Adrian strikes and strikes the devils before him as...

> roll 1d20+31 (+4 greater heroism, +2 recitation, +1 haste, -25 PA)
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 34 > [d20=3]

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 39 > [d20=8]

<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 21 > [d20=5]

The damage is sufficient to finish it, I won't roll a bunch of unneeded dice today.

With a few sweeps of Gaelach the steel devils are little more than dust on the wind, gear littering the ground as the party stands victorious - for now.

Free act.

[Corwin]

Jaela checks the Path for their destination, before setting off!

[Ebiris]

Afina doesn't care to delay for looting when they have a traitor to find, and follows after Jaela while keeping the winds still. "Good job everyone," she commends their performance just now.

[Anastasia]

"If we'd been this strong a few years ago, the invasion may have failed," Adrian remarks as Jaela's path tells her to keep going, opening the door and on.

[Corwin]

"We had no reason to push ourselves that far," Jaela says curtly, keeping on her path.

[Anastasia]

This doorway opens, revealing stairs going down. From below you feel pain suffering fear misery hate terror agony, all coming through you like a scything wind. A melange of emotions, passing through you a split second before your protections dampen them down.

[Corwin]

"Feels like we're close," Jaela says, her voice growing grim at the misery carried on the wind. "I'll push it, so catch up."

Movement at 140ft.

[Ebiris]

Afina's at 120, but she'll slow for Dana and Adrian
