The Battle of Father and Son

[Corwin]

Seira transports herself a mile farther, and which it's a bit sad that no one will see her actions others will definitely notice the results! One moment, she if floating invisibly in midair, and another a sphere ranging a mile in radius blooms, goldenfire racing everywhere from her body to burn away her enemies while stopping just short of her friends!

Swift to greater teleport, swift to cast True Casting, standard to cast Widened Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Greater Fireburst.

22:32 <CC> roll 1d20+48 SR
22:32 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 59 > [d20=11]
750 damage, Ref DC 42 half

Should get the dragons and the magma elementals.

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+29 elementals with various boosts
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 34 > [d20=5]
> roll 1d20+35 dragons
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 53 > [d20=18]

The scorching flames scour away your foes. In that instant all the magma para elementals are wiped out, the dragons buffeted back by the flames. You see a few fall, but most are burned but intact. After all, they are dragons.

Go ahead and act, nothing's in immediate range of attacking you.

[Corwin]

Seira calls upon the culmination of her arcane studies that her avatar managed to use so effectively, even as she boosts herself properly for the challenge up ahead. And then she explodes once more with goldenfire!

I will act for 2 rounds, in that case.
Round 1: standard for Seira's Arcane Thesis,  swift for Barrage True Casting, swift for Barrage Spell Enhancer. Free action to use the Soothsayer's Spite to predict using Widened Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Greater Fireburst next round on the dragons!
Round 2: standard for Widened Enhanced Maximized Empowered Twinned Greater Fireburst (1 mile radius again, to get my enemies and stop just short of my friends), swift for Superior Vigor, swift for Greater Teleport back to my friends if this kills the dragons

Since I'm a mile farther out, I'd also appreciate knowing whether I see more enemies now.
Taking 10 for Perception 103.

22:55 <CC> roll 1d20+50
22:55 <Penuche> CC invokes Penuche's magic: < 58 > [d20=8]
800 damage, Ref DC 52 half

[Anastasia]

Okay, how you getting barrage exactly?

That said, barrage spell has the following text:

You cannot apply barrage spell to a spell with a casting time of a swift or immediate action (including spells modified by the quicken spell feat or other such feats), nor can you cast a spell with a casting time of a swift action on a turn you cast a barrage spell. A barrage spell uses up a spell slot three levels higher than the spell's actual level.

[Corwin]

A while ago I asked for a ruling on whether it was possible to emulate metamagic variations of spells with Wish and Miracle, and the answer was that yes, so long as it was the full cost (ie, the effects of improved metamagic didn't apply). Since these two are low level spells, even adding 3 levels makes the effective level of the final spell eligible for Wish/Miracle.

That said, if there's some weird interaction with Barrage, I don't really need it here. I just figured I'd try it since Ranbar used it.

[Anastasia]

That's fine regardless since you can do it with swifts as it is, it just doesn't work with barrage spell in particular.

> roll 1d20+35 dragons
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 40 > [d20=5]

Goldenfire explodes the pyroclastic dragons in a vast display of power, incinerating them all in instants. Got them!

Free act, at least for the moment.

[Corwin]

How long has it been that she was forced to fall back on one of her oldest artifacts? Seira shakes her head as she appears next to the others, and doesn't waste time in granting Donald, Ranbar and Elle fast healing.

How are things doing on the other fronts? she asks Zaaman Rul. I could take my eyes off the entrance for a bit if someone is struggling.

Superior Vigor (per round), 8hp in a round (better than Elle's current).

Beyond that, scoured by goldenfire, yo ucan see you cleared the immediate area. But just beyond that, carefully marshalling and falling back, you can glimpse great lines of Imix's army. Fire elementals mostly, but you can see a variety of things at a glance.

[Anastasia]

"Nice little fight," Donald says, as...

The south is buckling, my defense there was subverted through means unknown. An underground attack is causing a collapse of the defensive line.

I am calling reinforcements to aid us and lessen the pressure there.

[Corwin]

How about my daughter? She might appreciate the chance, Seira proposes.

[Anastasia]

I welcome any allies you can bring to the battle.

[Corwin]

Zaaman Rul is under attack by his enemies, led by Imix, Seira speaks in Emily's mind at that. He would appreciate any help provided to defending his realm. Are you interested?

Asking her friends to hold their position, Seira teleports two miles ahead to look at the retreating army. If it feels real to her, she will use another of her high-tier spells to put the pressure on Imix and help relieve Zaaman Rul.

[Anastasia]

'Of course, let me just ask everyone,' Emily sends back. 'I'm sure we'll help.'

[Corwin]

I'm holding the front door open, and Amaryl is coordinating the defenses. I understand the southern end is in danger, so talk to her about getting there. Good luck.

Is that army real? Is is within the two miles that I can see after moving 2 miles closer?

[Anastasia]

They feel real - however, they're falling back fast, perhaps expecting such a move. You're only going to get so many unless you get closer.
