Antenora's current touch AC is 58, Amaryl is exempt, Jetina's is 61 and Oberuth's is 85. All three are hit.

Now for the Ref save fun.

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 371 > [50d12=321]

Seira evades, Moore evades, Alicia takes half, Antenora takes full, Amaryl negates, Jetina evades and Oberuth takes full. This cold damage ignores resistance and immunity, the pain is brought full on. Fortunately only a few of you take any of it and the two who take full can handle it.

The storm of blades and hell erupt around all of you. It is winter's bladed wrath, slicing deep in. Amaryl simply isn't there in the heartbeats where it matters, while Seira dodges back and momentarily throws up a ward of pure divine energy, shielding herself. At the same time Moore is sliced, Jetina cut as the latter steps forward, shielding blocking the cold onslaught for both of them. Oberuth is slashed and savaged, impaled a dozen times by razor sharp talons of ice, lifted up off the ground. Antenora is in the same dire straights, impaled all over and held up, gasping as her blood trickles down the ice. It makes the ice steam and hiss where it touches, while meanwhile Oberuth bleeds not at all, a sour grunt and little other acknowledgement of his situation.

Like this the dragon writhes, more and more talons coming out. To step forward is to step into an icy blade barrier, to move is to be sundered apart into pieces like meat before the butcher. Glistening talons of ice extend out everywhere, forming a frozen jungle before all of you.

Any movement, even a 5ft step, risks incurring damage. Be advised. Additionally, regardless of that, every square of movement here is now incredibly slow and hazardous, requiring four times the normal movement to pass. As in moving 5ft requires 20ft of movement.

The dragon roars somehow, a gurgling and wet sound, as its headless body continues to fight. Its claws come up, tracing diagrams in the air of unspeakable catastrophe, symbols in the air in Draconic, runes twisting into place as abruptly...

> roll 1d20+39
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 49 > [d20=10]

This is a spell and that is a caster level check for SR. Is anyone able/willing to do anything to counter it? If not, does that beat people's SRs?

Prepared, primordial and incredibly old dragons are scary opponents. Io isn't fucking around.

Seira thrusts her staff forward, disrupting the arcane buildup with an application of her divine will!

Instant Counterspell of denial, Superb Dispelling used.

[Anastasia]

Seira lets out a shriek of draconic defiance, magic wrought and woven together. The sheer pulse of it is sufficient to disrupt the spell, shattering it into a whirlwind blizzard, snowflakes of radiant, ice blue snow falling all over amid the blades. The snowblades sunder in twani when they touch one of the talons.

Okay, it is now Alicia's turn. Movement is currently extremely hazardous.

Additionally, Jetina is thinking about taking her held action, but needs a few moments for me to run down things. Do yo uall want me to hold Alicia's action so y'all can go? It's really up to you all here if you'd prefer to do that or wait on Eb.

Also, since it was asked: The countered spell was a maximized Polar Howl.

[Nephrite]

I'm fine either way.

Moore's HP is currently 254/442

[Corwin]

I haven't been hit.

[Ebiris]

Reeling from that assault, Alicia nonetheless pushes herself back into battle as she transforms into living lightning to surge across the ice-strewn battlefield into melee range with Kecasandarenala, swelling in size to rival the wyrm when she reincorporates from her electrical leap!

Quickened lightning leap, no damage since not crossing anyone, swift to change size.

As she manifests she comes out swinging, her blades wreathed in divine acid to rival Ooze's worst as she slashes her now titanic sword through Kecasandarenala's forelegs before a reversal brings the other end of her double-bladed sword shearing through a wing, rotating between the two blades like a spinning dervish as she rends him apart!

After each hit he needs to make a DC 38 fort save or suffer a -10 penalty to armour and natural armour. If he fails one no need to roll any more since penalties don't stack. A regenerate or better will remove the penalty, since I know he has a lot of healing going on.

If you change size, you're going to expand into a whole lot of space full of dangerous and sharp ice. You're welcome to do it if you like, but it's not risk free. You okay with that?

I presume that doesn't put you down. Let me know if I'm wrong.

As Alicia's blood is spilled by ice that slashes like blades, she swings. With blow after blow her blade cuts parts of him off, more and more ice spreading, new talons erupting out. Yet it is in vain as Alicia sunders the wyrm apart. With one final, beautiful burst of crystal the worm's body collapses, dissolving into a pile of ice. Got it!

As the ice talons melts and Antenora falls to a knee?

'Well done,' The dragon's voice is heard, his spiritual presence lingering in the room. 'You are the fish dashed against the stones that broke the stones instead.'

"...thank you, I think?" Jetina says slowly.

'It is a complement.' The wyrm agrees, 'I have never fought divinity before, now I understand why it is futile.'

[Corwin]

"I don't think my victory would've been guaranteed if we had to duel," Seira muses. "If anything, that's a triumph to friendship."
