Gar Malleos II (Tryll, Surraruthru)

[Anastasia]

Yet the tiny arrows fail to land home, unable to penetrate her flesh as...

Tryll and Simmer.

[Anastasia]

Simmer looks on at the weird with open contempt, "Ulnissss KRACK sizzpop!" Under her words the sun shines down on the ice weird, burning searingly hot.

Searing deadly sunstroke.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+33 SR --> [ 1d20=7 ]{40}

> roll 1d20+37 fort
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+37 fort --> [ 1d20=15 ]{52}

Under Simmer's flames, the ice weird groans piteously and melts, becoming a pile of bloody slush and then steam, evaporating under Simmer's magical assault. Her gear remains behind, silence a few moments after you. You won. Past the throne lies a path going down and...you remember one thing. You have to hurry, the last two traitors are below.

Free act.

[Corwin]

"Nice! Let's head out!" Jaela congratulates everyone, already moving ahead while Mountainous Fire prepares to bring up the rear.

'Levistus fled, the army is destroyed. Proceeding towards the traitors,' she updates the commanders in the mental link back at Aurora. 'Hope came in useful.'

[Anastasia]

Balyss gazes at the empty throne, expression inscrutable.

Simmer glances at the dropped gear, already hurrying on, staying close to Mountainous Fire. "Do we have time to loot them?"

[Corwin]

"We brought earth elementals along, so have them handle it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Can I use discern location to find the ley line Nexus?

[Anastasia]

No, as the spell's banned. We've had this chat before, Iddy. >_>

[Yuthirin]

I'd use Divination, but it takes too long. We'll just have to use the Mk. 1 Eyeball.

[Anastasia]

Giving Iddy a few to reply here.

[Anastasia]

There's just one problem ahead - the passage narrows and the ceiling falls rapidly, much too small for Mountainous Fire to fit in.

[Corwin]

It can't be helped, Jaela muses. "Please escort a couple of the elementals back to our arrival spot," she asks of him. That way, at least, they won't need to pause for any looting, and could regroup later and teleport back.

[Anastasia]

Mountainous Fire does so without another word, gear and elemental heading back. Or at least to the passage back, the fire elemental stopping cold at the narrow, watery tunnel. Which is naturally too small for him go through, too.

[Corwin]

He can just wait here, if that's how it is. I've been trying to move on.  :)

[Anastasia]

Down the passage. It slopes downward, icy and frigid. Deeper and deeper yet - and Surraruthru's steady analysis of the ley lines hints that the ley line is close, too. Down it goes to a steep, sharp drop straight down for 90ft.

"Evil is close," Balyss warns, "We may be on our own for this battle, Selune has been distant since encountering Levistus."

[Corwin]

Jaela nods. "One last time, we need those two sigils more than anything else. Getting the traitors or dealing with another army they might have are secondary in the face of that."

And that said, she intends to go all out as soon as this close-by evil is revealed!
