The touches and slams hit it as the worm surges up, coming in for them, maw consuming as the ice touch makes it recoil, but it's going too fast to stop.

Assuming this gets them with improved grab shenanigans. If not feel free to correct me.


That bite swallows the elementals whole as it rises up, bursting out - a great lava worm of stone and metal spines, a great section of the ground collapsing as it comes up within Alicia's reach, already surging for her as the elementals are inside of its burning depths, being swallowed down and baked alive.

Init for everyone, let's codify that into this. Include the elementals, they're still alive if in there. Since you have supreme init go ahead and go, we'll hash it out from there.

Those were some big ass elementals!

And yes, CMD is beaten, elementals are eaten.

Any knowledge for identifying this goober? Take 10 for 61 on planes/nature/arcana.

It looks like someone took something like a purple worm, set it on fire, added metal and made it grow far larger than it ever should be. It doesn't ring any bells, so odds are it's some wizard or another's pet project, or perhaps the work of someone like Imix.

Based on what you can see, the strategy would be simple: Don't get swallowed, don't get set on fire and don't get bit.

Fortunately Alicia is as big as they get, so this little worm isn't about to swallow her!

Also she's about to make it an ex-worm, her blades carving it up as soon as it erupts into range!

The worm is fast, mighty and massive - but ultimately it is still checked and decapitated. Swing after swing of black ice severs the worm's maw in half, lava pouring out from it, leaving to slump over and bleed burning blood out all over the ground.

The earth elementals tumble free as well, though Alicia dismisses them as no longer required. She glances back towards the Sylica lines as she shrinks to a more managable size and reaches out to Syala and Antenora. Zaaman Rul fears something undermines his realm from below, possibly the Sultan himself. I'm going to serve a distraction, you two hold the line here.

How's that tunnel made by the worm look in terms of navigability?

And with time frozen she can move freely without giving away her trump card, condensing space down that tunnel and descending at speed to rival that horribly fast worm's ascent!

Using space compression to cover 6800 feet per turn via using a swift to go to max range, moving through and then using another swift to go to max range again. That's 27200 feet or just over five miles. Hopefully gets me far enough to find the culprit!
