The Battle of Father and Son

[Anastasia]

Whatever it is, it's working. Yet as you do, you can see above. Vast meteorites of fire and iron abruptly appear in the sky, beginning to plunge down at you, miles above you yet.

[Corwin]

Seira decides to get out of the immediate concentration of meteorites, continuing her assault on the enemies that might be underground. She'll dodge out of the way of the fiery meteorites if need be, avoiding metal just in case.

Will move a bit and try to avoid being hit, will prefer fire over iron if must choose, will use my improved evasion if need be.

[Anastasia]

You begin to dodge. 2 miles away, 1 mile, falling fast. At the one mile mark, they split apart into a vast array of flaming metal debris - the entire area is going to be peppered and blasted. More are coming too, appearing above.

[Corwin]

I will rely on evasion, unless this isn't an evasion thing. In which case, please tell me.

Since dodging outright won't work, Seira will rely on Walls of Force erected at an angle to divert the attacks. She puts them in tiers, then, in case the first one is taken down by the attack. And should it still not be enough, Seira is exceedingly hard to hit....

[Anastasia]

In that case Ref save, yeah.  Lemme see where your Ref save is at for this.

[Corwin]

20:49 <CC> roll 1d20+73 improved evasion
20:49 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 75 > [d20=2]

[Anastasia]

Seira dodges - it's flaming metal shards everywhere, but she's untouched. Walls of force help divert it, holding the line more and more as she has time to cast them again.  It's hardly safe, but for once such as you? You can endure and survive it just fine. After a few dozen the barrage stops, leaving you once again intact.

[Corwin]

It's an unfortunate aspect of being a defender that initiative is surrendered. Still, Seira consoles herself that the enemy side is demoralized by this failure to make any advances. And Zaaman Rul will get more time to rework his realm into a more defensible position, so that's a plus.

[Anastasia]

You are holding well, Seira. The wrath of fire and iron cannot make you bleed.

The other forces are doing well - though they are not committing yet, but probing. You in particular, they are wary of your power.

[Corwin]

As well they should! A shame that it's not my chance to truly shine against an army, I've been looking forward to it. Let me know if you think we need to reconsider our deployment at some point.

[Anastasia]

Not yet. Let them flail at us.

[Corwin]

Seira sends him a vision of a jaunty salute, settling in for a wait!

[Anastasia]

Are there any short term duration spels that are an issue for you here?

[Corwin]

Sensual Blessing is for 35 minutes, and I can't recast it. The rest are either long-term, or can and are being refreshed as I go.

[Anastasia]

12 long, tense minutes. You wait in the aftermath of the meteor strikes. It's only then that you see it - four great plumes of fire in the distance, racing in your direction.
