Thus the four of you wait.

Empress Sulia turns to you now, "You've grown strong, Alicia. Are you ready for this?"

Donald just waits while Latha says, "She is more than ready."

"I think so," Alicia answers, tense and expectant. "But with you three at my side I'm certain we'll succeed at our aim. The crux really lies with Seira's side of it."

"Waiting is the worst," Donald murmurs, "Ugh."

Latha merely nods to that, "It is, but Alicia is sufficient. We all are. We WILL triumph."

"I've done this a few times," Empress Sulia admits, "Going to wage war on another plane always brings butterflies to my stomach."

"Avernus is good and bad for that. It gets attacked all the time and usually the high up demons are able to comfortably retreat and lick their wounds for another try. But even so, the devils here are hardened... though the change in power has probably thrust a few unready devils into positions based on loyalty rather than merit," Alicia says, encouraging their confidence.

Anastasia

"There is another benefit - any devils slain here are dead for good," Empress Sulia says, "So even if we slay only common devils, it is still something of worth."

"Yeah," Donald grins, "We have this as long as we get our chance."

"The ones that come to engage us will be anything but common," Alicia says. "I remember Abigor's elites from last time we were here, the crusade against Agares. Of course they've all been swept away by now, it'll be new faces. Necromancers and undead."

Speaking of, alter reality for ghost-touch weapon on everyone

Latha makes a gentle noise of encouragement. "We've grown so much. We can begin to face down the true threats against Creation now, one step at a time. Perhaps today we can eliminate Lixer from Creation, once and for all."

"I'll settle for coming home to Elle with some new stories," Donald says, glancing over at you. "Geez, you and Seira make battle preparation look so effortless now."

"And I thought Zariel had an embarrassingly short reign," Alicia smiles at Latha before she nods to Donald. "It really is effortless. I have to use my magic for anything serious, but for little things? The weave just flows to what I desire."

Anastasia

Sulia murmurs, "It's what magic always should have been," she says, "Will working, rather than complex formula and arcane incantations. Goodness, it's rewarding to use."

"Yeah?" Donald says, "All I know is that I have a couple hundred spell formula and diagrams to draw for my next spell." He sighs long, "I'm going to have to recalculate the entire definition of magma and numerologically connect it to Oghma and Raziel as safe channels."

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

"Magic is fine the way it is. That sort of work is how you know you've earned the power to... blast your enemies with a cone of holy magma?" she guesses as to what Donald's working on. Because of course she'd stick up for orthodox magic, it's the way Mystra wants it!

Anastasia

"No, a touch spell. Something like holy magma grasp," Donald says, "But that name's terrible."

"Golden Magma Touch?" Latha suggests, "It would fit Seira's style."

Another head shake, "Nah, she does the gold thing better than I do. I need to sound respectable. Like all the named spells have good names. I don't want to be the Donald known as The Donald With The Shitty Spell Name!"

"Don't name it after yourself, the name just gets taken off by everyone else that ends up using it anyway," Alicia tells Donald, recalling the tale of Marie's Marvelous Missile. "What about Volcanic Reach? Or Touch of Deep Fire?"

Anastasia

"Or something that's a signature but not your name. That opal spell of Antenora's does that," Latha speaks up now, "Besides, there are many Donalds. Surely others that could have  made the spell may claim it, too."

Donald grunts at that, rubbing his chin, "How about Big Fire Touch? ...no, doesn't feel right. Volcano Grab. Oh, I like that one!"
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Ebiris

"Volcano grab's good but doesn't really bring forward the holy aspect," Alicia muses, rolling around ideas in her head. "Purifying Pyroclasm?"

Anastasia

"No, too much alliteration," Empress Sulia laughs, a light and airy thing, "Dearies, we're arguing about spell names potentially moments before we go and challenge a Lord of the Nine in his own abode. How surreal."

"Better than focusing on pre-fight jitters," Latha says, voice going gentler, "Even the most hardened warrior can succumb to them if left fallow too long."
