Forever lies ahead

[Anastasia]

It depends on what you have in mind.

[Iron Dragoon]

Using Bastian and Alyssa's combined Travel domain powers to redirect/off-set our actual location? Alternately, since we've already traveled here and have gained knowledge of the route, can we mimic our home plane's trait of moving directly where we want to go?

[Anastasia]

Not on the fly unless it's something you can do with a spell through alter reality.

[Iron Dragoon]

So our only option is to bum-rush outta here? Hmm..

"Well, other than trying to use stealth, I can't think of a way to make this easier... Unless... We get out and use Xorn Movement with stealth to cut through underground?"

[Anastasia]

"That might work, but if he's smart he'll cover that," Jarem considers, "Considering how most of what we fought through was caverns, he might think to expect it."

"Maybe," Dolmaya says, "But if he chooses to sever the astral links around here, it doesn't matter how clever we are because we have a greater problem."

[Iron Dragoon]

"We won't ever get out. We can distract with summons easily enough, though doing so with Alter Reality may not provide us enough of sufficient power. That said, enough Greater Storm Elementals will be devastating."

[Anastasia]

"Regardless," Jarem glances back, "Can we safely transport all of that?"

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa shrugs, "We can spend some time to do some investigation on it. The fact is, if we don't get it out now, that means either abandoning it completely or coming back for it. He's also seen us use the key, so there might be some small chance he saw enough of the magic to be able to brute force it some way and get in here... I don't like the idea of any demon lord getting their hands on any of this."

[Anastasia]

"Well, we can take some of it," Emily points out, "Doesn't someone have a bag of holding?"

[Iron Dragoon]

"I can take all of it, yes. Moore supplied us with one. It's just a question of how big of a target it makes us."

[Anastasia]

"We came this far," Jarem says, "We're not leaving this behind. If he wants to make us a target, he's going to do it by now anyway."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa nods and gathers everything up into the bag.

"Okay, so, plans? We get out, everyone summons the Storm Elementals, then we try to make a run with it with Xorn Movement? Other ideas?"

[Anastasia]

"Nothing worthwhile," Emily says at last, "We may just have to fight no matter what."

"We'll have to think on our feet," Jarem agrees, "We go out and we show them why we got this far."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Alright, let's get ready to do this, then."

Alyssa calls upon her power to restore some of the spells on herself.

Gonna use a couple rounds of Alter Reality to put some spells back on me: Create Magic Tattoo (Luck Bonus), then using Alter Reality to mimic Arcane Conversion to swap Synostodweomer for Elemental Body (Fire), Greater Plane Shift for Mind Blank, Kassim's Sky Flower for Magic Missile Massacre, and using Domain SLAs to throw Spell Turning and Foresight on everyone.

[Anastasia]

Sure. Ready to go out then?
