A book and many things to do

[Anastasia]

"Then let's go!" Emily says, suddenly at your side.

Time stop, duration irrelevant, rolling for reference. All she needs is one round.

Normally I'd roll this, but netsplits are being troubling and I don't feel like fighting with it. She'll take the minimum result of 1 for 2 total which is sufficient.

Emily grabs you, "Come on," she says, "I'll pull you along."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa takes hold of Emily and follows!

[Anastasia]

Emily hurries, Ianvasah with her. Like this the party hurries along, hurries in. You're heading towards that light, fleeing for dear life. "I'll cover!" Dolmaya shouts, "Go!"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa watches their progress, hoping they're getting closer.

[Anastasia]

On...on...on. Light. Light.

At once everything is real again. You hit the ground of Ash, coughing. Is it over? Are you free? Your friends save Dolmaya are at your side, Jarem already rising from the ground. "Everyone okay? I think that was it."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa looks disgruntled, but checks the area around them over.

[Anastasia]

It's the floor above this one, before you went down into that hell hole. The main floor of this, as near as you can tell.

Emily gets up and helps Ianvasah up, "Whatever it is, we escaped. Thank you, Mom."

Bastian is resting nearby, "Ugly is what it was. Uglier than a troll with boils."

That gets a short, sharp laugh from Jarem, "Knew an ogre with boils, close enough. Poor bastard."

[Iron Dragoon]

'There's still work to be done. Dolmaya. Can anyone sense her?'

[Anastasia]

"No," Ianvasah is human again, slumped. Emily goes to her, supports her as Jarem turns back.

"...We'll have to wait," Jarem says, "She's strong and she's capable. Trust her to get the job done and get out."

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, the idea here is kind of obtuse, but work with me here. I have Cooperative Spell. Is there any way I can use that feat to sort of link with the others and have Jarem use Miracle to help Bastian and I with Horizon Walker/Shaundakul's pathing help?

[Anastasia]

Run me through that a little more carefully? I think I get what you mean, but it's a situation where nuance matters.

[Iron Dragoon]

Okay, so Bastian and I focus on our Horizon Walker abilities: traverse planes, find the path stuff. Along with that, we also focus on our connection to Shaundakul and the ability or whatever it's been that's been helping us find our way. Jarem and Emily, if she can, try to use Miracle to pump power into it and help us find a path for Dolmaya to get back to us.

[Anastasia]

As you discuss that?
Worry not.
Dolmaya stumbles out, bleeding form a gash on her shoulder. She tumbles down and takes a few gasps for air, then looking up, "Alyssa dear?" she says, "Your idea of adventuring needs a little bit of refinement."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa rushes over and lifts her up.

"Well, maybe the sense of scale might be a bit off. Let's check this place over one more time before getting out of here."

[Anastasia]

"We should seal off access to below," Emily says, "I'll take care of it."

Dolmaya rises with your help. As she does, "At least we knocked some heads in," Bastian remarks.
