The Battle of Father and Son

[Anastasia]

You notice a glimmer of something on the horizon, subtle but like a red-orange metallic glow.

[Corwin]

This might be is, Seira thinks in Elle, Ranbar and Donald's heads, sending an image of the flash to them. Are you in top health?

As she waits on them to answer, Seira reaches out to Lady Honeydip once more. Not to rush you during command of a battle of that scale, but would you be able to leave the front lines for half a minute at a moment's notice should I need your help with Imix? I still need an answer, and it just became more pressing.

Also wondering whether Elle used the Endurance Princess spell on Ranbar like I requested.

[Anastasia]

She did.

'If you command it, I'll be there. I've already partially withdrawn and have another in my position.'

[Corwin]

My best chance at surprising Imix lies in an all out assault, though I'd need your help piercing his magical protections to have more than a longshot at it. Should he oblige by appearing on the battlefield, my avatar will bring you to us.

Is everyone back at max hp? I gave them fast heal 8 and 68 temp hp, so I want to see whether there's more to do in prep.

[Anastasia]

If that helps. I still need to apply all the spells from your post - I have that open in another tab and was just using that since been hyper busy - but she has that up and here's their general condition.

Recitation and Celestial Valor, obviously. Channeled spell is Chain Dispel again (move action).

Seira decides to try seeing a bit past her range by conjuring up a boosted variant of Prying Eyes and sending them quite past her range.

That helps, thanks. Meanwhile, I'm using a Miracle for a more distant Prying Eyes variant. At the very least I can enlarge the original spell to get 2 miles instead of 1, correct? I'm hoping I can either use those eyes as my own and get an extra 2 miles of sight via them instead of the standard 120ft, or push the distance of the eyes themselves farther.

[Anastasia]

Sure, what level is prying eyes and how high a level can you get to? Just doing some back of envelope math, this'll work but I wanna have an idea of how far you can go with it.

[Corwin]

Sorc/Wiz5, so a lvl7 sorc/wiz spell or a lvl8 clr spell can be emulated easily. Just not sure how the spell would interact with divine perception, or if the basic version can be made to interact with it.

[Anastasia]

Each eye can see 120 feet (normal vision only) in all directions.

That would shut down using them to see more than 120ft with the baseline spell, though increasing the range is certainly possible. I'd say two miles is fine with a few spell levels to burn.

So go ahead with those.

[Corwin]

Seira decides to keep the fake eyes out there at the maximum distance. It might be similar to what she can perceive in person, yet should anything move past them or destroy them, she would be able to react an instance sooner due to it feeling more real to her.

[Anastasia]

You can see it approaching - a storm of fire and blades. Vast, vaster enough to envelop an entire army. Like a tidal wave of fire and swords, roaring towards all of you. It's just over two miles away as of now.

[Corwin]

How high does it reach? A hundred feet, a thousand, several miles?

Do I think it's a spell? If so, which one?

Perception 10 for 103 and Knowledge Arcana/Religion/Planes/Nature 10 for 103 and Spellcraft 10 for 103 (divine insight)

[Anastasia]

The wave reaches perhaps 200ft high, though surges higher and lower as it goes.

If it's a spell it's one you don't know.

You can see closer. The flame looks almost oozelike, like a living thing. Like flaming slime, really. That seems odd indeed - there's types of flaming slimes on fire, no real harm to anyone like you. But most aren't this gigantic, either. You've heard stories of gigantic ones deep beneath Fire, nurtured on pools of primordial lava and the like. They don't usually carry swords with 'em, naturally.

[Corwin]

With a frown, Seira transports herself two miles ahead. Staying one mile up as before, she then attempts to summon a fireball as massive as her disintegrating sphere! It may not be anywhere near that powerful, and it's a bit annoying to have to dodge her own spell, but Seira decides to see what happens when goldenfire envelopes the entire flaming ooze!

And also see whether it's larger than 4 miles across, since that's the max I can hit with one spell.

19:47 <CC> roll 1d20+47 SR
19:47 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 49 > [d20=2]

This is fire, so a Widened Fireball would do 60 damage. Ref DC 40 half. I autopass it on a 1, so rolling is unnecessary.

Finally, my standard action this round will be used once this resolves.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+16
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 17 > [d20=1]

The tidal wave is scorched by your goldenfire - it's definitely some sort of ooze, wiggling and wobbling from that fire, parts of it all over visibly scorched. Your entire fireball doesn't kill it - it's maybe a mile and a little more across - but it is scorched.
