Attack on Sylica

[Anastasia]

Okay, fair enough, my genuine mistake. Probably just me having a derp. Easily enough done. Yeah, alter reality can get there, if for no other reason that it may be needed to protect Creation at times.

[Ebiris]

Her expression smooths out. "Yes, it should be straightforward enough. The getting there part anyway. The real hard part's on you, Antenora."

[Anastasia]

Antenora takes a breath, "Then I'll succeed," she says, "For our sakes."

Okay, any prep for this?

[Ebiris]

Alicia will suggest that Antenora go with nothing except for her white dress. It's something she made herself as part of another trial and so feels thematically right. Any additional buffs or items would detract from achieving fundamental Oneness.

Avatarlicia and Syalavatar will go in with various adventuring buffs and maintain their distance from Antenora, basically orbiting around her and fending off any interlopers and not being close enough that they'll distract her.

Buffs as follows for both:

From Alicia via SLAs, CL 30
Magic Vestment (CL 30): Increase armour/shield enhancement bonuses on equipment to +5.

From Alicia (the real one) via spells
Greater Magic Weapon (CL 30): Increase weapon enhancement bonuses on equipment to +5.
Nondetection (extended) (CL 31): DC 46 caster level check to detect target with divination effects (DC 42 for Syala).
Greater Anticipate Teleportation (extended) (CL 31): Anything teleporting within 150 feet is delayed 3 rounds and target knows type and number of incoming creatures.

From Syala via SLAs
Barkskin (CL 30): +5 enhancement to natural armour.
Telepathic Bond (CL 30): Can talk to each other via telepathy.

From either via Alter Reality
True Seeing (CL 30): See things as they truly are.

Buffs for just Avatarlicia

All of these spells are either long duration or spammable via SLAs/alter reality so we can refresh as needed.

Quick question: Can Alicia cast epic mage armor? Syala would prefer that to any vestmenting.

Alicia cannot cast that spell.

Could probably bug Naeys into casting it for us though.

[Anastasia]

That'll work.

Also, leaving Antenora in her white dress avoided a snarky comment from Syala. Well done!

Thus the two of you are prepared. Your avatars are prepped, Antenora in her white dress. She carries no weapon, waiting for all of you.

"I can do this. I will do it," Antenora says, "For everyone's sake. For Eblis's sake. For Marie's sake most of all."

[Ebiris]

"Don't forget your own sake," Alicia's avatar says as the three of them gather at the edge of Sylica, a sandy beach against a sea that bleeds into an empty white void only a few feet into the water. "Everything needs to be in concert. I don't know how long this'll take either, but the two of us will keep you safe as long as it takes, right Syala?" she says to the other avatar.

Marie is also present to see them off and gives Antenora a hug. "I'm flattered by the special mention though!" she chirps, giving her lover a quick kiss on the lips. "I might even need to start pushing harder for my own promotion to keep up when you get back!"

Antenora smiles at all of it, "If I come back successful...well, you'll have reason to push yourself," Antenora chuckles.

Syala merely nods a bit, "Yeah, as long as we can. Don't forget yourself, either."

[Ebiris]

"Now then, take my hands," Alicia reaches out for Syala and Antenora, preparing to whisk them right out of Creation while Marie stands back and waves a tissue in the air.

[Anastasia]

Roll and post 1d100.

[Ebiris]

[15:40] <@Ebiris> roll 1d100
[15:40] <Rei-chan> Ebiris rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=75 ]{75}

[Anastasia]

Emptiness.

An endless white expanse. Absolutely nothing, a blankness that extends horizon to horizon.

A soundlessness, as if no sound has ever been uttered here.

Without any doubt, you are Beyond.

[Ebiris]

Alicia's voice is heard in their minds. 'You can't talk here, there's nothing for the words to travel through. Even the concept of distance and space is tenuous and perhaps more a mental block of our own perceptions than reality - don't expect natives to be bound by it. This is your show now Antenora, Syala and I will be nearby if you need us.'

Then she nods to Syala and flies off away from Antenora, close enough to perceive her but not so close as to distract, intending to circle around her at that distance and see off anything that might try to interrupt her transcension.

---

Meanwhile back in Sylica...

"Wait, now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere!" Marie blurts out as she's left behind on the beach by herself.

[Anastasia]

The life of a courre is hard. Alas.

> roll 1d100
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100 --> [ 1d100=68 ]{68}

> roll 1d20+11
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+11 --> [ 1d20=13 ]{24}

Antenora floats there, seemingly at reverie. She stares ahead but her head is lowered slightly, as if considering some weighty fact.
