It is not chronomancy.

Studying carefully, you can see something is wrong - something intensely powerful is twisting space here. It seems to be in part Bwimb herself, but it's complicated. She's far within somewhere here, and something else is involved. Something powerful, but all the twisted space is playing havoc on your ability to get and read the magic. You'll need to find the root of this to get details.

You can maintain a safe sphere around yourself to stabilize where you are, but spaces you leave will revert, you believe.

"Right. First of all, I'm anchoring the settled space around me," Seira informs the others, focusing her will on just that. "It would be a decently-sized sphere, but please be mindful of its limits and stay close to me. We'll go together and try to find Bwimb in all this mess, and fix things at the root."

[Anastasia]

"In that case," Kascha steps up, "Sanzha, you focus with Seira. You stay in the center. I'll take the rear and you take the front, Elle."

Lady Sanzha smiles ever so slightly, "Oh, did you just take command of us, Kascha? Just like that?"

Reddening, "Well y-yes," she stammers a moment, "Of course I did. We have to do this and deities don't sit there and hope that things work out quietly. Elle's tougher than I am so can take point, since you and Seira will be primarily busy with that."

"Good. Some of your leadership on Aurora's showing through," Elle agrees, "And you can tell your Surru all about it afterwards."

This will take a standard action from you each round to maintain, which leaves you your move and swift actions, Seira. Sanzha will likely be inhibited. This ensures you have safe, coherent and clean space to move through.

[Corwin]

I can do a lot with swift actions.

"Looks like we've got things sorted out. Elle, if you can feel where the effect is the strongest, lead us that way."

[Anastasia]

As you begin to go?

Wisdom comes from consideration within, philosophy is that expressed outwards. I foresee that your philosophy will soon matter.

[Corwin]

Oh? What a surprise to hear from you at this timing. Do you know what happened here?

[Anastasia]

No, but I foresee a point of history draws nigh. Be warned.

[Corwin]

There can be only one? Maybe that's what is happening with Bwimb and Bwimb.

Thanks. I'll stay on my toes.

[Anastasia]

Cool. In that case, toss me Perception real quick and we'll get this moving.

[Corwin]

10 for 122

[Anastasia]

You move ahead - and even in the distorted space you can make it out. A thing is coming forth - of filth and water and stone and ruin, swirling together at angles that should not be angles.

[Corwin]

Hello! Seira greets it.

Proceeding on the assumption it's not divine in origin to my senses.

[Anastasia]

Ahead the space becomes a large, scoured clean hallway of old stone, metal and dirt. It doesn't stop the thing, just outside of the sphere of control.

Kascha is at the ready as well, as a glob of dark brown becomes to gather in front of it.

"Don't think it's friendly," Elle says, sword in hand, "If it won't talk, then might will speak louder."

[Corwin]

"Very well, we tried. Kascha, see if you can't affect it with divine will or anarch powers? Elle, you're on if that fails. I'll support you as needed."

[Anastasia]

In that case, init.
