Walking to Rosewater

[Ebiris]

Violet's turn is well timed for her to be introduced to Alicia's sword coming up to meet her face. Blunt end, but given how demons can respawn that probably gives her even more reason to feel concerned.

I have 6 attacks left, pausing here though since if she's still up and if she dodged some/all of those it changes how I choose to use my swifts amidst them.

[Anastasia]

A flurry of blows breaks Violet. Literally, for as you batter her, her body collapses into a moving puddle of black water, fleeing in multiple directions, six segments of water hurrying away from your wrath.

[Ebiris]

Spellcraft to know what spell she's using so I can figure out the best counter? Take 10 for 65. Same for religion/planes if it's a weird racial or proxy ability.

[Anastasia]

It appears as if Violet's body is made of the waters of the Styx now. A blasphemous, terrible thing - a blade is simply ineffective. Desiccation damage would be your best play, you believe. Destroy the water directly.

It's not impossible this is also some kind of puppet or projection, also.

[Ebiris]

Didn't she do this thing earlier with Shar's thing at Raven's Roost? Very well...

2 swifts spent on casting quickened/vivacious/maximised limited wish to emulate mass dessicate (6th level spell, sandstorm) targeting each of the 6 puddles.

Assuming she counts as a creature of water subtype right now that's 80 damage each, doubled from vivacious. So 160.

The escaping puddles of water all sizzle and boil, drying up with a feminine scream of agony echoing throughout the chamber. There's no sign of her from here - was that it? Did you get her that smoothly?

Free act for the moment.

[Ebiris]

Given there was no divine tug-of-war over her proxy spark, Alicia can assuredly say that she did not get Violet. Curses.

'She fell apart into water and I dessicated it, but I think it was like a simulacrum made of Styx-water rather than ice. The real Violet is elsewhere,' she sends to the others.

Unless the other lillitu is unlikely to be up and fighting right away she spares a moment to strain her ears for any sound of alarm or anger being made within Rosewater...

[Anastasia]

You can hear it - a great roar above, on the surface. A great beast, a dragon almost certainly. Then another and another, answering roars.

'A baited hook or merely paranoid practices?' Antenora muses, 'We have problems above us, regardless.'

[Ebiris]

'And the alarm has been raised. I'll destroy what's here however, this is still what we came for,' Alicia will start by executing Violet's customer...

If she's out of it with pain she's gonna get couped.

[Anastasia]

Sure. No sense rolling here, you can't fail.

One swift strike ends her, the demon dissolving into a scorch mark and nothing else.

[Ebiris]

Floating up off the ground to avoid any splashes, Alicia proceeds to shatter all that glass, before dessicating all the styx-water. If its what contains all those stolen souls and memories that will hopefully be a good loss to them.

Alter reality shatter/mass dessicate there.

Though one they can make up so long as Violet's skills and expertise remain. She really must go.

[Anastasia]

Done, done and done. Containers are shattered and water desiccated, a feeling of souls passing by, of fleeing this cursed place and ascending beyond. You feel warmth and thanks from this, a baptism of relief and gratitude for you.

Why, imagine that I hear that you're here, Alicia. What a surprise.

[Ebiris]

Alright, where's the door out of here? There's still another room up those stairs that they've neglected...

Hmm. One thing though. That door before? It only opened for Malcanthet or Violet.

There wasn't any key made for 'Violet's-Simulacrum' and she knows well that a simulacrum is an entirely separate entity as far as such spells care. As she considers that she smiles slightly on hearing a familiar detestable voice.

No need to feign surprise, your invitation was very heartfelt.

'Are you three coming down? We're not done here and I want to do some more damage before we leave. There's also something bothering me about Violet...'

Her feet land on the now dry ground so tremorsense can keep her updated of all the movement around Rosewater, but in particular within that room up past the stairs beyond that exceptionally warded door.

[Anastasia]

The door's behind her.

Syala strides in, "Good work, but you forgot to share again," Syala points out. "Save us some demons next time."

Surrender now and I assure you'll find I have a sense of mercy. You came within a breath of tossing aside your vows before, Alicia. Let me show you how much more I can give you than G'renna.

[Ebiris]

"There's something big on the stairs you'll get to fight," Alicia says, consuming the door with silver fire now that subtlety is gone.

That was a very long time ago. Don't worry, we can see ourselves out, but if you want to come greet us I can show you how I've grown.
