Crossed swords

[Corwin]

"Thanks. And as a bit of friendly advice, I wouldn't stick around much."

[Anastasia]

"I do not plan to," Is the concise answer as you step out - and the moment the party's clear, the wagon turns and flies away the way it came.

Once it's gone, "Are we ready for this?" Amaryl asks.

Chance for any spellcasting or prep before this starts in earnest.

[Corwin]

"Let's see how things work, here," Seira says, only enhancing her senses for now.

Sensual Blessing. Let's go!

[Anastasia]

Thus you approach the cube - a vast place for certain, a massive structure of metal. You approach the side, seeing nothing on this side that suggests an entrance. Just the sheer immensity, coming at it straight ahead at it's lower middle.

"Entrance is probably on top or another side," Amaryl says, "We'll need to look a bit."

[Corwin]

Seira emulates a Find the Path power that would lead her towards the entrance, even as she wonders at its necessity.

What's stopping me from pulling a Jaela and making my own?

[Anastasia]

Just the metal, in case that's the sort of thing that stops you.

It isn't. If you wanna try the direct approach feel free.

[Corwin]

Seira decides to follow her spell to the regular entrance, for now.

[Anastasia]

As you go, your superior vision and preparations help you to notice something. As you pass, you notice tiny little slits open up in the cube, little more than murder holes, but they silently open up by the dozens.

[Corwin]

Seira attempts to enlarge the area near one with a handy disintegration!

22:00 <Corwin> roll 1d20+52 ranged touch
22:00 <Penuche> Corwin invokes Penuche's magic: < 71 > [d20=19]

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+15 it's entitled a fortitude save due to how it's set up but I think it's 20 fishing
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 20 > [d20=5]

I know that doesn't touch whatever your DC for it would be.

With a sharp gesture you call on the proper magic, as a hunk of steel is disintegrated, a new gap revealed. Within it are hundreds of quivers of arrows, packed together, as arrows levitate up to aim and fire.

"When in doubt, arrows." Donald agrees, "Good to scare away the trash."

"Hardly a threat to us," Amaryl agrees, at the ready. "Good shot, Seira."

[Corwin]

Seira nods, and then wards them against arrows. Try as she might, she can't think of ever using that spell before, so it's nice to try new things.

Then, she proceeds into the entrance she'd made.

[Anastasia]

To be clear, which spell? It's going to matter momentarily.

[Corwin]

Protection from Arrows, though better since Miracle emulation?

[Anastasia]

Let's call it 30 against arrows and you can change it from something /magic to something a little better. Any preference?

[Corwin]

Cold iron for Amaryl.
