Mystran rest

[Anastasia]

The darkness comes as you hold. A tremendous surge of spell energy rises all around Shar, no words uttered. Yet the night responds to her will, as if a living thing that hungers for you, lashes out at you.

Let me hear you scream, Alicia!

You can try and counterspell.

[Ebiris]

Can I tell what spell it is?

I mean, it's surely not one on my list but is it a darkness spell that might get auto-beat by Sunlance or Latha's Sunmantle?

If not I'll do superb dispelling and to save time I'll roll that check here. They're all 11th level so it costs the same slot regardless for her.

The spell is Shadows Devour. It does exactly that, inflicting massive damage and leeching away the life force of the target, as well as making them unable to bear darkness, both psychologically and physically.

[Ebiris]

Cool. I tried to counterspell it so what happens?

[Anastasia]

Your magic battles with it - but even you are not strong enough to stop Shar, not with a raw dispel. The darkness surges forward and...

Fortitude. SR but she can't fail it.

[Anastasia]

But you endure and fend off the shadows. Your inner light shines, and the ground around you momentarily consecrates. It's enough to fend them off, but Shar doesn't even hesitate. This time a raw tendril of shadow stuff erupts out, exploding into a hundred shards of it that pepper you all over.

Reflex. Nothing to counter this time, it's an su.

You made the save so half damage, 214.

You are peppered, bloodied. They cut into you like knives, each one more and more relentless. Dark shadows flow into Shar from everywhere her body touches the plane, that you haven't pulled away. What's worse, the shadow shards stay in you, digging away into your body.

Damage repeats the next round.

Then Shar looks up, her empty gaze peering into Alicia's eyes as - !

Will.

[Ebiris]

Peering with what? Isn't Shar all diffused into the plane apart from that arm we pulled out earlier? Anyway...

You feel a lash against your mind but nothing else, a shiver that shakes you. Your head throbs but you push past the pain.

Init is Alicia (Supreme) > Avatar of Shar (Supreme) > Phoebe (21) > Marie (20) > Latha (18)

What's your HP, Alicia? Your general state of health will matter for Phoebe's turn.

[Ebiris]

709/903 so 78% health. She's a tough cookie!

[Anastasia]

Lucky.

From Phoebe beautiful lances of moonfire erupt, both going at Shar. Yet neither touches her, lost in the shadows around her. Even as you endure Shar's attention, like a bug under a magnifying glass?

Marielle.

[Ebiris]

"Latha, help Alicia. Again!" Marie calls out, letting loose an empowering song before she prepares to use her anarch power again.

Free action to sing Inspire Greatness then she delays her action to go with Alicia and Latha for another anarch thing to yank Shar out.

Latha holds for the same idea. Go Alicia, I presume Charisma checks are incoming.
