Endless rise above

[Anastasia]

"Choose quickly," Xandra councils, "We have little time to stand here and deliberate."

[Nephrite]

"Let's try. The plan is to go up and destroy what's creating this, let's see if that works. It's worth trying, and a good challenge for us." Moore says. "Jetina, protect us from Acid - it may lessen the damage regardless."

Assuming he has one round here to work with, he's going to do the following:

Harmonize as his Standard Action, Inspire Greatness as his Move action.

+18 morale bonus to saves and +18 dodge to AC

And if Jetina will do Mass Energy Immunity (Acid) we may as well see if that will help.

[Anastasia]

Magic is wrought and just in time - the rain begins, bitter, polluted and burning.

Ref saves, all.

For now the acid rain stings at the party, the drool hitting Kaja and Xandra. Both of them endure it as they fly on, for now Jetina's healing keeping the damage easily under control. You fly on as you see the drool level below begins to rise, and ahead it's rising even more, faster and faster.

Jetina will pop mass heals as needed. No need for saves each round for now, as there's generally no chance of failure for all of you.

[Nephrite]

"Let's see what we can do if we go up." Moore says.

I'm assuming he can't see the top currently, but if so he would head for there, if that is where it is mainly coming from and not just being magically created above them.

Well, up and forward, anyway. Everyone can go at least 200 ft with a fly speed, so if we just do nothing but move (slowing for Jetina if she needs to heal) we can cover 400 feet per round with double moves.

[Anastasia]

Up you fly. Up and up and up until you can at last see the roof. It is thick with drool, more pooling and dripping down by the moment.

[Nephrite]

Moore will inspire his allies first with courage, then send a Divine Blast towards the roof!

Everyone has Inspire Courage, +22 to attack and weapon damage rolls and they are immune to charm and fear effects.

I am not sure how Divine Blast works when it comes to hitting an area. I get a mile's worth of ray, but I don't think I can use it to hit a mile's worth of the roof. Whatever the case, I will hit as much of it as I can.

[Anastasia]

Roll a crit confirm, this is subject to critical hits.

[Nephrite]

[12:52] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+22+40 touch attack
[12:52] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+22+40 touch attack --> [ 1d20=14 ]{76}

In case it is a crit

[12:54] <Nephrite> roll 38d12
[12:54] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 38d12 --> [ 38d12=269 ]{269}

[Anastasia]

You gear through the roof above. Within you see twot hings. The first are many pulsing nodules, perhaps the size of a pixie or so. They gush out drool, hundreds of them glimpsed in a moment.

The other is that without the roof of the mouth, all of the drool comes out. Pours out like a tidal wave going down, right over the party.

"Shi-" Sylvie begins as she dodges, as the rest of you - !

Ref save, all.

[Nephrite]

He was hoping that would destroy most of it!

[13:28] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+54+18 evasion, Moore
[13:28] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+54+18 evasion, Moore --> [ 1d20=11 ]{83}
[13:28] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+60+18 Xandra
[13:28] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+60+18 Xandra --> [ 1d20=13 ]{91}
[13:28] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+49+18 Jetina, evasion
[13:28] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+49+18 Jetina, evasion --> [ 1d20=5 ]{72}

[Anastasia]

Unfortunately there's a lot of them that make it, a whole lot.

> roll 1d20+51 Kaja

> roll 50d6 half evilhalf acid
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 50d6 half evilhalf acid --> [ 50d6=159 ]{159}

Every one made the save.

The acid goes by as a moment later your wounds are healed, Jetina holding the line with mass heal yet again. Moore himself isn't touch, able to dodge as Sylvie says, "Keep blasting, like that," she encourages. "Straight up, see if we can stop it above us."

[Nephrite]

He will try again!

[14:03] <Nephrite> roll 1d20+22+40 touch attack
[14:03] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 1d20+22+40 touch attack --> [ 1d20=6 ]{68}
[14:03] <Nephrite> roll 19d12
[14:03] <Kobot> Nephrite rolled 19d12 --> [ 19d12=137 ]{137}

[Anastasia]

Another blast and more of the nodules are blasted away. Past the first layer is just flesh, and indeed you buy yourself a respite.

"Ugh," Kaja shudders, "What sort of beast is this?"

"We need a sphere of force," JEtina ventures aloud, "Can we manage anything close to that?"
