Nothing. Nothing as far as you can see.

It's so warm. The gem on your chest is as warm as a campfire, as opal blue light spreads. "No, you're wrong, Alicia. It's another lie." Antenora takes your hand in hers, as warm as the gemstone is against your chest. "I know it is. Look with me, look ahead."

[Ebiris]

"Of course," Alicia reverts to normal size and takes Antenora's hand in her own.

Will save.

[Ebiris]

[17:54] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+77 improved mettle, 87 if it's relating to seeing through an illusion
[17:54] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+77 improved mettle, 87 if it's relating to seeing through an illusion --> [ 1d20=16 ]{93}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+74 (+10 circumstance)
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+74 (+10 circumstance) --> [ 1d20=7 ]{81}

Reality begins to shimmer like a heat mirage. Waves of shimmering, glass like distortion everywhere. It makes the darkness dance like twisting shadows.

[Ebiris]

Alicia looks around trying to discern some kind of pattern or weak point in the shimmering glass effect.

[Anastasia]

You can see it - a point where it seems the strongest, most distorted and shimmering. It's a bit ahead and to the left of you.

[Ebiris]

"Do you see it too? This way?" Alicia asks Antenora, pointing with her sword at that point.

[Anastasia]

"I see it," Antenora squeezes your hand, "Ready?"

[Ebiris]

"Push into it and through the lies," Alicia nods, flying with Antenora directly towards that shimmer, expression screwing up a bit as she focuses to see past the proverbial curtain.

[Anastasia]

Will again.

[Ebiris]

[19:23] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+77 improved mettle, 87 if it's relating to seeing through an illusion
[19:23] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+77 improved mettle, 87 if it's relating to seeing through an illusion --> [ 1d20=9 ]{86}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+62
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+62 --> [ 1d20=16 ]{78}

Rolled the wrong value, it should be +74 for a total of 12 more and a grand total of 90.

It's like going through soft paper.

You stand closer. So much closer to the titan you once saw in the distance.

Each moment is a painful inhale of air thick with profanity and evil beyond words.

60ft ahead of you it looms. The statue of a woman, wrapped in transparent, colorful silks. A lifeless thing yet rendered to life, a pile of offerings at the base - gold, jewelry, food, fine cloths. It does not move save for its eyes, but its eyes of stone watch the two of you.

60ft to your left stands oblivion. Nothingness. It beckons to you without words, a promise of oblivion.

60ft to your right stands destruction. A promise to rend you to nothingness, a raw nothing that yet tears apart anything that comes close. The space on its borders constantly frays apart, crumbling to nothing.

60ft behind you, you hear a voice. "What a strange thing I've been summoned for," Malcanthet's whispers are like liquid silk to your ears. "Somehow I knew it would be you, Alicia."
