The passage leads to a short hallway to a golden gilded door. A door with a sign on it which reads: ACCESS ONLY WHEN GIVEN PERMISSION.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<Yuthirin> Afina, giant parasitic rainbow space whale.
<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

She's already read these warnings! So Seira merely confirms that there are no traps or alarms and then accesses the door!
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

Anastasia

The door opens. Here a larger hall and gallery can be seen - of broken weapons, of statues of figures vanquished. Here decorations are all about, of battlefields where Imix's forces burn away all who oppose them. Of those who, beaten and broken, bend the knee towards Imix.
<Afina> Imagine a tiny pixie boot stamping on a devil's face.
<Afina> Forever.

<IronDragoon> I mean, why not?

Corwin

That's more like it! Still, Seira decides to make sure there's no more doors hidden behind tapestries!

Anastasia

Perception again for searching, Seira.

No more secret doors that you see.

Seira looks for anything that serves as a focal point for the gallery, or an outright altar to Imix if there is one!
<Steph> I might have made a terrible mistake

There is. A gilded room of gold, where dozens of displays show the same woman as you saw before - Bristis Pel - defeated. Zaaman Rul defeated. Imix's great triumphs, preserved in gold and ruby.

Here we go!

Donald, block that door with something suitably heavy. Sanzha, I think the place will do well with a flash flood. It'd do wonders for the carpets, and we're flying anyway. Ranbar, start preparing for melee.

It takes her slightly longer than Seira to get going properly, after all. And Many Moments of Prescience is practically a must have, unless she precast it the way Seira had going in. The combat spells of Greater Visage of the Deity and Righteous Might should provide a decent boost and help preserve her life, while Seira's Visages could remain in reserve. Then again, if their plan works, there's no need to hold back from the very start, so maybe the Visages would be the better choice to open with.

231, just stay back and observe. Perhaps on one of these pedestals, if that's not demeaning for you? Seira finally offers to their tagalong, and she drops their Veil and any other disguises as she gets creative!

With a flex of her divine power, the past defeats of Zaaman Rul reform into a mural of her friend standing victorious by his realm as Imix flees in shame! Imix's own triumph are broken very carefully, and reshaped into a mosaic depicts Seira smashing his priceless shield into pieces; these fragments resemble the ones used to make the mosaic perfectly, due to Seira's flawless memory. Bristis Pel's likeness remains in the gilded room, but she looks in disapproval on Imix, the latter depicted in via caricature, his bad traits exaggerated. It might be a low blow, but she's already there seeking to insult Imix as much as she can, and displaying him weak and enfeebled and outright ineffectual might as well help!

Having been building up to it, Seira forms an altar to herself in the center of the room out of the remainder of Imix's broken triumphs and places the Crystal of Time Travel upon it before attempting to consecrate it in her name, Razalim resting in a sheath at her waist as is only proper.

20:33 <Corwin> roll 1d20+6
20:33 <Kobot> Corwin rolled 1d20+6 --> [ 1d20=3 ]{9}

> roll 1d20+8
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+8 --> [ 1d20=6 ]{14}
> OOC: Gah.  I forgot to check if it's +8 or not, premature enter, but I think the math means that unless he's way lower than I think it'll still be a fail.
> OOC: 10, excuse me.


Donald bursts into actions, states of Imix thrown over to block the doors. As the clang of them is heard?

Got it, Seira!

As floods come 231 hops up and adds, "That seems prudent," he agrees, going still once in position.

Ranbar begins to prepare, chants and magic focused around her.

I'll be ready this time, Seira.  This time we end it.

You know, in a divine contest of will, you win some and you lose some. Since I couldn't really concecrate this lovely altar, would you do the honors, Donald?

Since the members aside from Ranbar were chosen specifically to piss Imix off into coming after them, every little bit helps!
