The Assault on Avernus

[Anastasia]

Spells fade from the figure, exploding in bursts of power, but some remain. IT is still wreathed in hellfire, if less impressive and slower moving as...

Malphas is up, now everyone make Ref saves.

[Ebiris]

I rolled it yesterday.

[20:51] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+49
[20:51] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+49 --> [ 1d20=19 ]{68}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+52 Latha evasion
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+52 Latha evasion --> [ 1d20=16 ]{68}
> roll 1d20+29 Donald
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+29 Donald --> [ 1d20=18 ]{47}
> roll 1d20+49 Sulia
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+49 Sulia --> [ 1d20=3 ]{52}

Alicia half, Latha none, Sulia and Donald half.

> roll 20d6 hellfire
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 20d6 hellfire --> [ 20d6=72 ]{72}

Flames. Flames and pain spread amid all of you, but you endure. You hold the line as Glasya watches all of you dodge with unhidden amusement.

Init is Glasya (Supreme Initiative) > Alicia (40) > Duke Malphas (25) > Donald (23) > Sulia (21) > Latha (15)

Donald.

Donald spins Guardianil in his hand, "Hey Malphas! When Alicia says dispel, you dispel!"

Quick cast magic disjunction.

> roll 1d20+30
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=4 ]{34}
> roll 2#1d20+30
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 2#1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=20 ]{50}, [ 1d20=20 ]{50}

The hellfire fads around the phantasm - for it is one, flickering and indistinct now that it is shorn of its hellfire cloak. A hunched over thing, a rooster's head glaring at you with a twisted body with corded muscle hinted at. Donald shakes his head, "Damn," he mutters, simply casting it again.

> roll 1d20+30
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+30 --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}

This time the phantasm vanishes altogether, banished from the battlefield. Donald grins, "Third time's the charm," he crows, as...

Chance to react as I do other posts, Sulia's up next.

"I know!" Donald calls back, "Hey Glasya, when we capture you and unbrainwash you, tell us how to do that!" Donald calls, voice light.

Meanwhile Empress Sulia stands firm and tall, "They will not suffer, not now," she murmurs, healing power flowing through all of you. "And Donald, stop that!"

Mass Heal, +250 HP healed along with what heal fixes up.

Glasya just smiles a little more, "Oh, you'll make an entertaining thrall," she retorts, as...

Latha. Aura first.

> roll 7d6
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 7d6 --> [ 7d6=19 ]{19}

A burst of sunlight settles over Glasya, powerful and glowing with Lathander's radiance.

> roll 1d20+30 seeing if she has a shot vs her SR
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+30 seeing if she has a shot vs her SR --> [ 1d20=12 ]{42}

Let the light of the sun leaves her untouched as...

Glasya, who is in the next post. Chance to banter and react in the meantime.

That heal feels good at least, sensual blessing is such a nice spell! "Donald please don't ruin your credibility right after you gain it," she seconds Sulia's sentiments.

"Oh really, you want to play. Come then, Donald," Glasya gestures and...

> roll 1d20+51 will Donald
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+51 will Donald --> [ 1d20=17 ]{68}

"Nah," Donald says, "You probably taste like Lixer, and I'm pretty sure Seira would say that no one should taste that."

Glasya's smile is just as sweet, yet her gaze burns as...

Go Alicia.

[Ebiris]

She has to deal with being energy drained from that unholy weapon of Glasya's, but a pulse of silver fire through her body handles that for her.

Then assay spell resistance focused on Glasya and a burst of radiance explodes around the arch-fiend just to keep her on her toes. She knows it'll get dumped on some other unfortunate devil but it at least keeps her busy.

Quickened radiant assault

[18:12] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+44 SR

The attack doesn't lay a scratch on her, just as you imagined. Glasya makes a show of checking herself over, "What a lovely light show, Alicia!" she jibes.

Donald.

'We got a plan here?' Donald sends to you, 'Besides play fighting because hitting her's meaningless.'

'I'm not sure if her ability to transfer wounds is limited by distance or planar boundaries. Killing all the devils around might help but I'm not sure. Find other ways to hurt or inconvenience her than direct damage, or slaughter the masses,' Alicia says back.

[Anastasia]

'I'll keep Glasya busy,' Donald sends right back, pointing his sword at her. "Here I go, 'cause I know you want it," he smirks, charging in. Guardanial flashes as...

> roll 1d20 charge max PA ect will do the math if he 20s
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20 charge max PA ect will do the math if he 20s --> [ 1d20=13 ]{13}

Donald slashes hard at the Lord of the Sixth's avatar, yet the attack is parried, deftly deflected away as...

Init is Glasya (Supreme Initiative) > Alicia (40) > Donald (23) > Sulia (21) > Latha (15)

Empress Sulia is up.

Empress Sulia holds her ground now, floating off the ground, "Then burn in the light, as evil always does," she declares, as radiant assaults blast everywhere, a storm of them slamming into the fiends forming a circle around you.

> roll 1d20+23
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+23 --> [ 1d20=10 ]{33}

Devils all around you screams as light blinds them, leaving them reeling and flash burned. Lesser devils are blasted apart or left charred husks that fade away, while stronger ones scream and clutch at their eyes as...

Latha.

'Alicia, are you able to smash the devils around us?' Latha asks.

'I can put a dent in their numbers but my reach is limited,' Alicia responds.

[Anastasia]

Latha nods and gathers another sunlance, firing into the masses of screaming devils as...

> roll 30d6
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 30d6 --> [ 30d6=113 ]{113}
> roll 1d20+30 SR whoops

The blast of power decimates the devils around you further, all while Glasya laughs, "Aw, picking on targets your own size," she taunts, as...

Glasya is up in the next post, feel free to respond.

[Ebiris]

"Still means less sacrifices for you, doesn't it?" Alicia calls down. "I'm sure your brother will keep sending more out if you ask of course, you're already doing him a favour by being here."

[Anastasia]

Glasya dodges another swipe from Donald, smiling as she evades. "Says the person who is doing Seira a final favor as she goes off to her own funeral. Alicia, Alicia, Alicia." A gesture, almost casual, as suddenly your bodies shudder and...

Fortitude saves, all.
