Go.

[Ebiris]

Is teleportation blocked in here?

[Anastasia]

Yes, you believe so.

[Ebiris]

Goodbye Cythos.

Briefly turning into a bolt of lightning, Alicia crosses the remaining distance to get into range of the nascant demon lord, her hand glowing with nightmarishly potent acid as she slaps the sword in his hands before bringing her own blade to bear in eviscerating him. If he has some cunning counter gambit lined up well it's not going to happen.

Quickened lightning leap to get into range, quick-cast vivacious/maximised flux grasp to melt his sword into goo, and then full attack.

Lets do the flux grasp first though. I'm not sure if this resolves as an ordinary melee touch attack for the spell or counts as a sunder attempt? I'll roll for either and you can decide.

[21:30] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20 moment of prescience, +118 if this is a sunder attempt using cmb, +104 if it's a melee touch attack
[21:30] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20 moment of prescience, +118 if this is a sunder attempt using cmb, +104 if it's a melee touch attack --> [ 1d20=10 ]{10}

So either hits vs CMD 128 or touch AC 114 (with him hopefully being flat-footed but who knows if he has uncanny dodge or whatever).

Does 350 acid damage to the sword.

I'm not clear - are you channeling the flux grasp or is it just a touch attack? Matters here.

[Ebiris]

Normal touch attack with a quick-cast spell.

[Anastasia]

Right.

The blade melts before your eyes. Yet the moment you touch the blade, as it melts?

Cythos stands before you, his sword a ruined, hissing wreck on the ground before him.

Cythos stands behind both of you, a second of him. This one's armor is far thicker and covers even his not-face, like a metal tomb decorated with smoky quartz. The ruins of his sword also lie before him, a second blade destroyed.

Cythos is above you, clinging to the ceiling. This one is completely unarmored, body smooth and undefined beneath that armor. He holds the ruined hilt of a blade.

The end comes.

I am many.

In three we are utterly invincible.

Then, together the three intone:

The final death comes, vile paladin.

The final death comes, vile paladin.

The final death comes, vile paladin.

The voices of the three echo about you, a cascade from ahead, behind and below.

Go with the rest of your turn.

[Ebiris]

Wasn't there a spell that did something like this? No, probably not, unless it's chronomancy.

In any case, Alicia changes her plan, wary that attacking will cause more to split off and overwhelm them with numbers. A single fatal blow from Antenora might work better than her own method of attack - this one is made specifically to kill her after all. Sacrificing a portion of her own strength, she wards herself in protective light!

Vivacious Latha's sunmantle cast, DR 20/- and 40 divine damage to anyone who hits me.

[17:12] <@Ebiris> roll 1d6
[17:12] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d6 --> [ 1d6=4 ]{4}

4 strength damage as sacrifice cost.

Init is Alicia (Supreme) > Cythos (46) > Antenora (28)

Cythos moves. The first one lashes out, a savage backhand to crush your face in. No grace, just raw and overwhelming power.

AC? Any miss chance?

[Ebiris]

113, no miss chance.

<Kobot> Kotono rolled 6d6+66+6d6 --> [ 6d6=19 6d6=15 ]{100}

The blows are brutal - and each one causes his hand to burst into sun fires. Yet he does not stop, beating you as the second guards itself, a fortress defended. The third retches, vile black fluids raining down on Alicia from its not-mouth.

Ref. Breath weapon time.

180 unholy damage, but you made the save so that knocks it down to 90. HP after that?
