Mystran rest

<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 19, 12, 17, 1 >

Well, what do you know, you got a 1. -10 AC.

No, just vast resistance and endurance. Your knowledge skills suggest something like the way sublime revelry reduces physical harm.

[Ebiris]

"Primus doesn't speak for the rest of us!" Alicia snaps back.

It's armour and natural armour, so potentially -20.

Marie takes a gamble, hoping Alicia's hits have stripped Shar's resistance to magic enough for this to get through. Slipping around behind the dark dancer, she... gives her something to dance about.

Quickened irresistible dance.

[17:59] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+72 melee touch, flanking, she's hopefully flat-footed too
[17:59] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 89 > [d20=17]
[17:59] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+39 SR, she's got a -8 penalty from Alicia hitting her
[17:59] <Penuche> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 43 > [d20=4]
[18:04] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+5 rank check to beat mind affecting immunity. SR surely failed but good practice not to forget.

Yet nothing happens from that spell, fizzling out on her completely as...

Fort, Marie.

Yet Marie is able to hold, able to endure. A feeling as if her shadow is stabbing her in the back, pouring into her body and soaking into her very bones - but she endures it.

> roll 1d20+38 when in doubt, hope you get lucky on this check and it's been lowered enough
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 58 > [d20=20]

The light doesn't harm Shar. It rolls off of her, but it gets her attention. Sunstorm's burst of sunlight suffuses the area, casts bright radiance against Shar in those moments. She has to step back, a moment of focus as the sunlight is gone - but it ruins her attention on you. Instead only a single sword blow lashes out, a slice at your wrist.

AC?

Dispel check omitted because she can't fail it.

101.

With one slice there is nothing for a moment, just a sense of loss. Your left hand is gone just past the wrist, hitting the ground in the aftermath of Shar's swing. Your blood sprays out from where you were just maimed, a raw and sharp exclamation of agony within your mind.

Go.

[Ebiris]

Oh! Before that, Shar cast a spell right? Alicia has spellcasting harrier! So I'll hit her before I lose my hand.

[Anastasia]

A clash. A desperate sweep the moment before Shar strikes, a slash into her. Blood is drawn as you exchange blows, enough save you. For Shar falls back, blurring into the shadows and gone.

Then die in this place.

Free act.

[Ebiris]

Can I tell what happened?

Did she stealth? Turn invisible? Teleport? Did she do something that might provoke another attack of opportunity?

[Anastasia]

She used a supernatural ability to fade away, into the demiplane and beyond. Nice trick to say the least, something she primed up and prepared well in advance you suspect.

[Ebiris]

"We're not out of this yet," Alicia says, staying at this size in case anything else nasty shows up looking for a fight. "Marie, grab Phoebe's things. Whatever she's left can't be as bad as an avatar but we've no reason to stay behind now."

As her illusion nods, Marie herself picks up Phoebe's shawl and recasts superior invisibility before they retreat to the demiplane's entrance, Alicia twisting space to shorten the route.
