Getting the band together

[Anastasia]

In this case I'll call for init before you barrage him. With that cry and the wall of force casting he's not surprised.

[Corwin]

22:28 <CC> roll 1d20+24
22:28 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 30 > [d20=6]

That's fine. If I win init, my action stands so please resolve it~

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+11 he actually has a shot
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 15 > [d20=4]

> roll 1d20+18
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 33 > [d20=15]

And like that the efreet is paralyzed head to toe, unable to move a single muscle.

Free act.

[Corwin]

Seira knocks him out, turns off the dimensional interdiction and then sends the freed slaves to Amaryl and the efreet to his cell. A gesture has her magic complete the task of collecting gold and papers alike, and as she heads out after blocking dimensional travel again Seira decides to use her magic to do the same to other offices she passes along the way. She's not going to stay here to loot things, so having her power grab what intelligence and shiny things exist along her path would have to do.

Meanwhile, she follows the guidance of her other spell, once more recast to search for the nearest slave to free!

[Anastasia]

Just as you start to free the slaves, it happens again. This time the building shakes violently, overwhelmingly. Papers fly and trinkets clatter to the floor, everything shaking uncontrollably. The slaves cry out as they stumble through to freedom.

[Corwin]

Seira won't be deterred from her path!

[Corwin]

And a good point! Would my 2 mile tremorsense tell me anything more about this? Won't change my action since I'm finding the next slave to free regardless, but info is nice.

[Anastasia]

It would. Something huge is rising up - and it's absorbing the liquid adamantine it touches.

The shaking dies down as you get the last slaves free, but one lingers, "There's a warded drawer on his desk here," he says, "If you can get in, check it!"

[Corwin]

"Sure thing," Seira says, dropping a dispel upon it. "Anything else you can tell me? For example, about where the rest of you are kept?"

Greater Arcane Sight to tell what spell (if any) is on the warded drawer, since I'm curious. Perception 10 for 102 to find anything untowards. And, of course, my dispel:

07:11 <CC> roll 1d20+37
07:11 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 49 > [d20=12]

[Anastasia]

It is locked with arcane lock, which gives way to your dispel with ease.

"There's sleeping quarters in places of the mines and just above the mines and processing," The slave says, "They don't let us stay together."

[Corwin]

"I'll handle the rest, don't worry. Just head to safety for now," Seira tells him, sending him to Amaryl. Then, everything properly secured from the efreet's belongings and the drawer and expedited through high level magic, Seira proceeds to the next captive!

And uses more magic to secure efreet gold and papers from the other offices she passes, just because she can.

[Anastasia]

This area is clear now, all slaves on the lower floors according to your magic.

[Corwin]

Seira secures her sack, disables the interdiction once more and transports herself towards Oraga and Lagann!

[Anastasia]

The ore processing room is clear. Lagann is gathering together dozens of slaves as Oraga stands guard silently, eyes roaming everywhere.

"Hurry," Lagann says shortly, "We haven't much time with whatever's shaking the ground. Hurry!"

[Corwin]

"Something's rising through the adamantine layers while absorbing them," Seira educates her friends. "I'm keeping an eye on its progress."

She plane shifts the slaves towards Amaryl before restoring the dimensional defenses and refreshing her spell of locating those in need of rescue.

Greater Plane Shift is 8 people at a time, I can manage 3 a round so we're not spending more than a couple rounds on this, I figure, especially if Lagann can help.
