It's not in 3 miles sight yet.

Thus you advance again.

Now it's just under 3 miles away - a single point of radiance, a young man emitting all that light. No older than 21 or 22, clad in white and throwing bolts down, another one coming your way.

Go ahead and counter.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Another bolt stopped, countered smoothly.

Go.

Effectively 5 rounds at current pace before we're close enough for melee, though could manage long range spells after 4 if anyone cares to try.

"Keep going, we won't change if he doesn't," Alicia says, twisting space and zipping through it before she prepared to counter with more ever-reliable silver fire.

Anastasia

Now that it's known, give me four counter checks.

Four more times. It's done, one more step should take you to him. The young man isn't alarmed, but continues on with steady patience.

Go Alicia, your turn.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

Ebiris

"The next one takes us right to him," Alicia warns before it happens, and she's the first one through making her attack on him in a flash!

Will use moments of prescience on the next 4 attacks if the first 2 miss for another +30.

2 swifts left.

No MMOP needed.

Your blade is a relentless hunter, the young man slashed asunder like a pit fiend before your power.

A blink.

You are back in the arena, about 40ft away from a glowing sphere. A prismatic sphere, radiant and shielding something within from sight. You know this spell, even if it looks as non magical to you as a rock in a field.

Continue with the swifts.

No use for them right now, turn over.

Anastasia

"Sister, can you take down that sphere," Jessica asks right away, "Queen?"

Ebiris

"I'll try a disjunction, that usually works," Alicia says. Otherwise having to go through the spell chain will be a long and laborious process.

Anastasia

Jessica and Queen hold then.

From within the sphere they emerge - a great barrage of a familiar spell, magic missiles slamming into the three of you.

Yet the missiles do nothing against any of you. Instead the three of you endure them, no more from the sphere for now.
