Okay, lightning immune, resist 10 for acid and cold. So... 11 fire, 1 acid. 12 damage total.

Oh, and Marie has spell shield, that thing Afina used to have!

3rd level spell sacrificed to block 15, so she takes nothing.

A spell shield of sheer magic pops up, blocking what little touches you. You hold on, at least for now, unhurt and...

2 rounds to go. A chance to react before we get to that.

[Ebiris]

Marie's busy singing but she can have her decoy act as it flies closer and calls to her fan club, "Form up and counter hostile magic! Protect me!" she calls.

[Anastasia]

Thus the remainder does just that - counterspells and dispels flying at your command, weakening the barrage of magic as...

> roll 1d20+26 (-6 counters)
> roll 1d20+26 (-6 counters)
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 43 > [d20=17]
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 34 > [d20=8]

Wise choice.

Yet at last your song of liberation finishes as the battlefield is a ruined disaster, demons still falling and others falling back, a moment of uneasy equilibrium as...

Go ahead. How does it work?

[Ebiris]

It works like a Break Enchantment spell:

This spell frees victims from enchantments, transmutations, and curses. Break enchantment can reverse even an instantaneous effect. For each such effect, you make a caster level check (1d20 + caster level, maximum +15) against a DC of 11 + caster level of the effect. Success means that the creature is free of the spell, curse, or effect.

Marie gets a +10 sacred bonus because she's a tulani and thus good at this stuff. Her effective bard level is used as her caster level for it. So...

[19:05] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+42 break enchantment CL
[19:05] <Penuche2> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 51 > [d20=9]

With a trembling shake, Mazel falls forward onto his face. The humanoids on his back erupt out and away, fading with howls of profane fury. These howls drive off the remaining horde, retreating back into the caves in bad order. Did...did you do it? Is it over for now?

Free act.

[Ebiris]

"Go after them!" Marie commands her fan club at the triumphant conclusion of her song, not really wanting to keep them around. Then she flies over Mazel and heals him.

Heal SLA used.

Demons go and chase the remainder as you heal Mazel. He is in terrible shake, broken and thin, but he's alive. He's also not moving as you hear Jessica next to you. "They're reverting to nature and doing whatever the hell they want now, most of which is smarter than challenging us now."

[Ebiris]

"We'll wait here for my teleport block and we can see if that broke the portals permanently," Marie says. "If not Alicia can come finish it. We've enough time to go back too before the rest of the army hits her defences. Think Mazel here needs a while to rest, but he should be okay..." she looks up and smiles brightly at Jessica. "We did pretty great, didn't we?"

[Anastasia]

"We really did," Jessica agrees, still unseen. "The heart of the demon army is crushed. Now it's up to Alicia to sweep away the fist of it."

[Ebiris]

As things stand then, Marie's happy to watch over Mazel and wait for her teleport block spell to expire naturally rather than ending it herself, in case having it up longer erodes those portals more and ensures their destruction.

Her teleport block ends about 6 minutes after casting, so we've got like 4 and a bit minutes to wait.

[Anastasia]

<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 49 > [d20=18]

Jessica is too strong for Marie's charms.

Meanwhile...

"They did good work," Syala declares, vision focused afar to the battlefield. "Now we just have to win our side of it."

[Ebiris]

"I wouldn't mind having Marie back for another amazing barrage on this end to thin their ranks, but we should be enough either way," Alicia says. "Especially good work with that titan, though."

[Anastasia]

"I knew there was a reason I was fond of her," Syala smiles, glancing over a bit, "Mystra chose impossibly well for your familiar. When I see something like that, I know how far we have to go to gain that sort of experience and wisdom. Fortunately, we won't need wisdom ahead - just a heavy hammer and a sharp sword."

[Ebiris]

"She's good at spotting talent, isn't she?" Alicia says. "But still, don't discount wisdom. The demons still have a lot of numbers on their side, we'll have to be smart in how we fight."

Actually on that note, taking proper advantage of Ysgard would be a good idea. Any local warriors or dangerous wildlife/terrain on or near the path of the demon horde?

Using multipurpose alter reality divinations or planar knowledge here I suppose.
