Limping return

[Anastasia]

Between the slower speed and raw motivation, the two of you weave through the stalagmites and stalactites without hitting any, as they are consumed behind you. But as you come out from them? 100ft ahead is another ankheg, clinging to the ceiling. Just past it is a tunnel going straight up, and beyond it a flat dead end.

Suffice to say, you have a problem.

Init.

Init is Xandra (41) > Ankheg (26) > Moore (17)

Xandra opens.

Behind you the blue light glows brighter - a glance back shows the buffeting waves of cold you feel are about 100ft away and closing in fast.

[Nephrite]

Xandra moves forward, towards the tunnel going up, and points a finger at the ceiling near the ankheg!

[21:16] <Penuche2> Nephrite invokes Penuche's magic: < 8 > [d20=8]

Xandra's aiming a disintegration at the ceiling, hoping to just completely get rid of it and more or less cause the ankheg to fall and go boom. Or at least just fall, whatever works.

[Anastasia]

Sure enough, the ceiling collapses and down the ankheg plummets down, hitting to the ground hard and...

> roll 4d6
<Penuche2> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 12 > [d6=2,3,5,2]

Struggling to get up, doing so as - there! The way's clear, at least for the moment.

Go.

[Nephrite]

Moore takes the opportunity given to fly towards the tunnel going up!

Double move to be clear, so 60+60

[Anastasia]

Xandra doing the same on her turn?

[Nephrite]

Yes. If this thing can fly, let's see it fly.

[Anastasia]

Up you go! Flying at full speed as fast as you can, ascending high and...

Maneuverability? Impacts how fast you rise.

[Nephrite]

Both are good! like... literally.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so noted.

Thus both of you ascend up, slower on the rise than the fall or wing. Up and up and up this tunnel goes - andb ehind you the lava makes a perfect 90 degree turn and starts flowing up, the child of Jormugandr peering out of it, cackling all the while, "Run, run!" he calls. He's catch up, only 100ft away and closing, and with no end or turns in sight ahead, at least right now.

[Nephrite]

"That's just cheating!" Moore shouts. "Xandra, you're faster, I'm going to catch a ride!"

Moore flies to grab ahold of Xandra in a way that won't affect her wings.

"Just keep going, I can buy us a small amount of time if we have absolutely no other options." He says.

[Anastasia]

"Do what you can," Xandra agrees, flying on. Up and up and up - 80ft behind you now, now 70ft. He's closing in, cackling all the while. Waves of cold buffet you from below, the frozen lava boiling and roiling as it rises and rises and rises yet more, seemingly unstoppable.

[Nephrite]

Moore whispers to Xandra as they continue along. "I don't think he actually is going to try and hurt us with it, but we may as well play along."

Not doing anything fancy just yet.

[Anastasia]

Xandra nods - and then her eyes widen. 60ft and suddenly it happens. A great freezing rope of frozen lava flies up like a shot arrow, going right for Xandra.

What's Xandra's touch AC with everything factored in?
