Without any doubt, a new order has been established in Fire.
Zaaman Rul has strengthened his position.
Imix has been chastised.
A new Grand Sultan has risen over the efreet.
Eblis is gone from Fire.
All of these facts linger in Alicia's mind as...
What are your goals now that this war seems to be winding down, first of all? Second of all, do you need Antenora short term?
Anty's free to go do stuff elsewhere.
Goals are to mess up Shar and Malcanthet right now.
Okay, off Antenora goes.
How do you intend to accomplish those noble goals of messing those two up?
Barring hooks we get like Selune asking for a hand or our enemies leaving an opening, might just have to wait a bit until the war looks properly settled and I can shift some realm resources into external intelligence to be honest.
Sure, I have something for that. Gimme a d100 first for my own reference.

"Alicia."
It is Latha who interrupts you, as you watch on a balcony of your palace. You are seated as soldiers march, observing them at practice from afar. A moment of rest and analysis, all while you hear prayers and tend to matters. She lands gracefully at your side, "I have a few matters to discuss, as well as about Malcanthet."
"Oh?" she looks up at Latha and gestures to the empty seat nearby. "Sit down then, lets talk," she invites, adjusting the air and light around them to prevent eavesdropping.
"One war down," Latha says, "I feel like we've made progress, don't you?"
"Perhaps. There'll be trouble in the future of course, but all the people currently suffering under the efreet yoke don't live in the future, they live in the now, and they die in the now. We've given them a better a future than they ever would have had, and for that I'm grateful," Alicia says.
"So am I." Latha smiles, "We all did our part and...we made Creation better." In that moment you feel it, a connection with Latha. It shines brightly as...
Node update. Go read.
"We're not the only ones who think so, I see," Alicia smiles faintly at that now familiar sensation.
"Thank you," Latha seems even more radiant now. After a few moments of basking, "I want to do more next time," Latha admits, "And...One."
"If it's against Shar you're one of our natural counters to her darkness," Alicia says right off. "As for One, I'm waiting until we get Io's research notes and Antenora can add her own insights to them. That should maximise your chances of accomplishing the same feat."
"Yes." Latha says, "I don't want to be left behind, Alicia. I know what I must do now." Looking ahead and out at the soldiers, "I'll be ready."
"You're important to us all, Latha," she reaches over to pat the angel's hand. "You said something about Malcanthet, though?"
"I'd like to go seek more information, so we can plan a better attack on her," Latha says, "With your permission."
"Where were you planning on looking?" Alicia asks. "After all, you do rather stand out and searching the Abyss is exposing yourself to a lot of risk."
With a wry smile, "Everywhere I can safely, and a few besides. I don't plan to go to the Abyss unless I must, it is too dangerous."
"Alright, but please do consider your safety. You don't have to be standing in Pazunia to be at risk from an assassin or a trap," Alicia says. It'll be good for Latha to go out hunting and feeling useful, but they have a lot of enemies and she's a juicy prize. "In fact if you want to go check on primes as well I can make you my proxy for a little while - it's a little extra protection if you get in trouble too."
Latha smiles brightly at that, "Thank you. I was going to ask," she says, "Have you managed a third proxy yet?"
"Yes, my divinity grew after Eblis returned to Celestia," Alicia nods. "I haven't decided on who will hold the role permanently - obviously you're soon destined for greater things. So for the moment it can be a roving ability the way I used to use it before I granted Ebony the honour full time." She smiles a bit herself. "Wasn't that long ago either, and now I'm up to three."
"There's still so much mountain to climb," Latha says, standing. Resting her hand on your shoulder a moment and then leaving it there, "I'm here to talk anytime, Alicia. I know you have so much to do now and so much to live up to."
"Thank you," she stands up with Latha's hand on her shoulder. This is Sylica and thus holy enough for her purposes as she clasps her hand over Latha's and bestows on her the power of being Alicia's proxy in the world.
Since it's just temporary no real need to redo her stats unless she gets into an onscreen fight. Should it matter she gets the Battlesense SLA while proxy so she can't be ambushed easily.
Sure thing.
"I'll return," Latha promises, then with a ripple of magic, is gone.
Alicia then resumes tending to Sylica and being watchful in case matters on Fire or Earth require her attention.
As she settles to wait for the Grand Khan's treaty proposal, Seira communicates to her allies in this war, from close like Barachiel, Romiel and Moore of Celestia, the elemental princes and princesses of Good and Sylica's leadership through those fitting more the roles of patrons like Lathander and Queen Morwel and all the way to allies of convenience like Yan C Bin or Istishia.
On the heels of the efreet capitulation, the dao have made a barely acceptable offer to end the war. I hope to deliver good news to all soon.
That's good news. Alicia replies then.
Do let me know if I have to tidy up the Abyssal Lake, thank you.
In a moment Syala is at your side. "Well." She smiles a bit, "Our percentage of war victories is still a resounding 100%."
"Please don't jinx us," Alicia says wryly, turning to look at Syala and then leaning over to give her a quick kiss. "Hopefully the barely acceptable offer isn't too bad."
It's a bit more than that, "Knowing Seira, it's good enough. Dear," she reaches out and takes your hand, "You know what we need to do to celebrate?"
"Do tell?" she invites.
"You, me and a death defying dungeon," Syala says, "We haven't done one lately."
"I do miss the classics," she admits. "Do you have one lined up?"
"Always," Syala says, "And besides wrestling is the best reward at the end." A teasing smile, "Or well, what comes from it."
"One thing at a time," she chides, a bit of teasing herself as she leans back from Syala. "Tell me about this dungeon, then."
Thus Syala does and...
As mentioned on IRC this is mostly offscreen/IRC bait, so skipping along.
It is not long after that concludes when you get a simple message.
'Alicia, do you plan against Shar?' A simple and to the point message from Selune.
'I can't attack her directly and what is vulnerable is well hidden, but if I would gladly lend my strength to your own efforts, Selune,' she replies in the same vein.
'I seek an incursion into the Plane of Shadow,' Selune says, 'To force out an avatar or horror and slay it. This is not a campaign for mortals, but for the divine. Are you and yours willing to come with me? Know that am waxing, and Shar will not hold back in attacking me, not to such a brazen challenge. I will accept it if you wish not to go, for this will be a dangerous challenge.'
'Name the time and place and we will be there,' Alicia replies, prepared for it.
Latha, can you return to Sylica? We will soon be moving against Shar with Selune.
I'll keep her as a proxy for this so may as well temporarily update her stats for the adventure.
I will shortly as events unfold.
'Alicia?' Latha prays moments later, 'I'll be back momentarily.'
'One day's time, be prepared.' Selune says. 'We will gather in the Gates of the Moon.'
Thank you Latha, we'll be moving in a day's time so you'll need to be rested and prepared.
'We'll be there,' she promises.
So for going against the sort of things Shar is likely to throw out... herself, Latha, Antenora, and Marie should do, with Syala and Jessica and their avatars able to defend Sylica in the meantime.
Okay then. Anything to do or any prep before this, first of all?
Nah, can skip along to the good stuff.
So no boosting spells to add to spoiler blocks? That's what I'm aiming to get done here, if that wasn't clear. If so that's fine, I just want to get them done now.
Marie will offer out her epic mage armour to anyone that wants it.
Epic mage armour (CL 33) +22 armour to AC
Alicia will add
Recitation (CL 33) +2 luck/AC/saves (+3 if you worship Alicia)
Greater heroism (CL 33) +4 morale attack/saves/skills, +20 temp hp
Cool, will have spoiler blocks when needed.
"Shadow." It's Antenora that says it, "Once Shar realizes what's happening, we'll be facing her wrath directly."
"All the more reason to win," Latha says, a rather tight smile on her face.
"Selune will be drawing most of the heat, but Shar has ample reason to try and make an object lesson out of us so we need to be at our best here," Alicia says.
"Well if it's another proxy I can handle that," Marie says confidently, the four of them right now taking a little time to rest and mentally prepare themselves in one of Liberton's gardens.
As they all sit, "Also," Antenora says, sitting next to Marie, "Will others be fighting with us?"
"Selune never mentioned, but she did specify it was a campaign for the divine so don't expect to see an army there," Alicia answers. "Other friends or proxies of Selune, maybe."
It's at that moment that but a single word resonates, 'Come,' Selune sends. 'Are you ready?'
"It's time," Alicia stands, casting the last short duration spells they need before she opens a gate to... the gates of the moon.
'We're coming,' she says before casting that travel spell and striding through.
The moon is full.
That's the first thing Alicia notices, the full moonlight is bright. Bright as new snow, white and pure. The mountains all around you are as well lit as daytime.
Before you stands but a child. A child that is an adult, growing before your eyes, speaking in many voices. "Welcome," Selune greets, her presence unmistakable. "The others will come momentarily."
"It's good to be here," Alicia says with a smile. "Who else is all expected?"
The adult is old, a cane in hand to support her as she gazes at you with the eyes of a newborn. "Phoebe and my proxies shall form one group to support me. Empress Sulia and hers have volunteered. The elves have sent a delegation lead by Angharrdh. More come as wel speak."
"This will be no small incursion," Antenora says at that, "You intend to test Shar's defenses that harshly?"
The child floats in the air, held by the old woman as the adult woman supports her. "Yes," All three say in tandem, "Let her not overly focus and defeat us in pieces. We do not doubt she has defenses enough to hold us - but if she does not?" All three smile, a look of fearsome anticipation, "Then the Moon will shine bright this night."
"She'll be eager to show she's not an easy target after her setback in Daa-vid's judgement," Alicia says. "We'll have to give it our all."

One epic mage armor on Latha, please, Marie. Note that in spells expended.
Antenora will practice her new alter reality to add death ward (CL33), neutralize poison (CL33) life's grace (CL33), just in case. She isn't optimistic about these helping against anything that can beat divine immunities but it doesn't hurt plus it may get a target to waste dispels on them.
"I will support you with the light of the moon," Selune says, "Sacred power will protect and bolster all."

Does Anty not want an epic mage armour? Was just assuming one for everyone anyway.
"Hard to believe we're part of this, isn't it?" Marie whispers to Latha. "Although I keep thinking of what it must have been like when the Gods all banded together to strike down Daa-vid. Hope we do better than that."
She prefers to rely on her armor. Isn't personal, the armor's just meaningful to her. She never takes epic mage armor for a reason.
"We'll do better," Latha smiles faintly, "Then we'll celebrate," she adds gently, "Long and happily. But let us not get ahead of ourselves."
"That will save us Celestial Valor, then," Antenora reasons.
To this Selune fades, and farther away you can see patches of moonlight, where other groups are beginning to appear and gather.
"Lets go see who we'll be fighting along with then," Alicia leads her group towards those other moonlit patches.

You can see two nearby.
The first is lead by a nude celestial. A woman that rather resembles Selune, lustrous white hair and ethereal features. She seems to be as much moonlight as flesh, growing bright with it before fading away almost entirely. She is eight foot tall and yet of a slight and fragile build. She floats in the air, indifferent of her nudity. She has the sort of beauty that looks like it will crumble away if touched.
With her in that group is a man in full armor head to toe, shining with that same moonlight. He carries a mace in each hand, no shield to complement his armor. He's close to six and a half feet tall, an imposing man yet dwarfed by the celestial with him. In constrast to the winged celestial, he is utterly solid, like a mountain. He simply seems to be there, as permanent as the stones of the Gates of the Moon. His armor is engraved with the sigil of Selune, which fades and glows with the celestial's own fading and glowing.
The third figure with that group is familiar. A golden skinned celestial, short, female and notably busty. Balyss is equipped and ready to fight, expression distant, seeming to be lost in her own thoughts. In one gauntleted hand she holds a scrap of something bright - silk or the like, perhaps, a handkerchief? At times she looks up to the moon, losing herself in its beauty.
---
The second group is lead by a familiar face. Empress Sulia leads them, as familiar as ever. She looks at peace, simply waiting now.
The next one is a tall, well built man in full armor. It is decorated with images of roses and doves, beautifully engraved in gold and pure, milky white gemstones. The only thing he lacks is a helmet, long brown hair flowing in the breeze, perfect. He's handsome to the point of being pretty and feminine. He has a longsword at his side, as well as a quarterstaff in hand.
The third of this group is clad in a great deal of jewelry. Rings on every finger, sparkling with wealth. Anklets, a circlet, earrings, piercings, bracelets and more. She is wearing nothing else, dark skin the color of burnt caramel. Her black hair is cut short, down to her shoulders. She carries no weapon, yet beads and rivets of magic gather in her hands, flowing up her arms like electricity. She's always moving, going side to side, comfortable undressed as she is, gems and jewelry sparkling in the moonlight.
The last is a man in golden armor and ermine cape, a golden crown on his head. He is older, a wise king rather than a young warrior. Broad of body and not yet gone to fat, he has a closely kept beard and stands with a regal aura notable even from afar. He simply looks like royalty, catching your attention right away. He draws the eye to him, the sort of easy charisma you know from so many of your friends.
Alicia goes towards Empress Sulia first of course, since they're already friends. "Sulia," she greets her with a smile. "I hope today goes as well as the last time we fought together. You know Latha from back then of course, and Antenora and Marie. Introduce us to your friends?" she invites.
As luck would have it, Marie is dressed in red silks, the robes of the plainswalker that Mystra remade for her after she captured Dragodan. "Good to see you again," the eladrin chimes in, "Mystra remade the old robes for me recently, they were always some of the most comfortable clothes I owned."
Sulia comes forth and embraces Alicia, kissing her cheeks. "I confess to nerves," she says to you quietly, "This will be one of our greatest challenges yet. It's good to see all of you again." Parting from Alicia, she says, "This handsome man here is Martan."
The tall, well built man bows deeply, "Martan Falinor. I was chosen to aid the Empress in this battle, and I will not fail her."
The jewelry wearing woman smiles, "I'm Galya Forteau, Mother Regent of House Forteau and Princess Regent of the Sandstretches, and current Lady in service Empress Sulia, as well as Archmage of the Wastes, with the merits of sand, water, heat and thirst."
Antenora goes over to her and offers her a hand, "Antenora Reynes, Opal Angel of Redemption." A moment, a pulse of Antenora's sheer divine presence. To this Galya laughs a little, a sound of joy.
"Congratulations, news of your ascension reached ears in Brightwater, as surely as the winds carry the rains from the mountains." Galya declares. "Is that your royal banner, Antenora?"
"A moment's feeling is worth an ocean of words," Antenora admits, "And a river of feelings is worth a single decisive action."
"Such a vigorous and vital woman," Martan Falinor declares, "It is as if a shining jewel lies amid the dark sands of the desert now."
"Then you know of the sun?" Latha asks, but is interrupted.
"Before you go further, our third is the Imposer King. Excuse his lack of words, he was mute in his mortal life and speech is still seldom his choice." Empress Sulia declares, going to him and resting a hand on his arm. It's enough to make the armored man incline his head forward, "The honor is ours, to be taken from the corpses of Sharrans."
"Well met Martan, Galya, and your majesty," Alicia says to the three Sulia has chosen to stand with her.
"I'm Marielle, seneschal of Liberton and evoker of magic missiles par excellence," Marie gives her own introduction, tossing her long purple hair and smiling at the other proxies. "Whether it's as a familiar or as a proxy, I'll always be at Alicia's side."
"And we're lucky for it," Alicia says warmly. "This will be a test, for all of us. I've battled stronger deities like Glasya and the former Grand Sultan, enough to have held my own, but I'm craving a win and this is a big step up."
"Claim the head of something powerful and send a message," Empress Sulia advises.
"What will be a win here, Alicia?" Antenora asks, "We should know that before we commit to the battle in Shadow."
Meanwhile Galya smiles to herself while Martan adds, "Why, claiming the heads of powerful minions and Sharrans, of course. Perhaps even a proxy or avatar, would that not be splendid?"
"Taking from Shar something that she can't easily replace," Alicia tells Antenora. "An avatar, great as the prize might be, won't take too long to replace. But another proxy, especially if we can capture them or Selune can trap their spark would be a considerable setback."
Meanwhile Marie goes to say hello to the other group nearby. "Phoebe, right?" she says to the big naked woman. "I'm Marielle, proxy of Alicia. I hope we can count on each other's support," she goes on, doing her best to sound like this is just another day at work for her. "I haven't met your friends, but I recognise Balyss - Ebony mentioned you a lot in her letters from Aurora."
'Dear,' Antenora sends to Marie, voice warm, 'I talked to one naked woman so you had to match me?'
Meanwhile Empress Sulia declares, "There's truth in that," she declares, "Fine, noble wisdom. We'll take a proxy then, hurt her more. Though," A pause, "We must also protect our own here."
"We all have an interest in surviving," Martan agrees lightly, "I'd hate to have Shar impose on that, it would be so rude of her."
Latha's lips move up in a smile, "I can assure you that Shar's graces have never included good manners."
Meanwhile, Phoebe turns to Marie. "Marielle," she murmurs, an ethereal, fading hand going to cup Marie's cheek. "Congratulations on capturing a proxy." It feels like cool moonlight on Marie's cheek, a feeling of summer night sand chasing others about a forest, a fragment of forgotten memory.
"Marie? It's good to meet you - I think we met in passing once," Balyss comes forward, "Selune called on me to serve, so here I am."
"Spent a while tracking him halfway across the prime but it paid off," Marie says proudly to Phoebe's praise. "He was a tricky one!" Then she turns to Balyss, "Oh yes, I was a lot smaller then. Good memory!"
She thinks back in Antenora's direction, 'Just being sociable, dear!'
"Very true," Alicia says to Martan. "This whole endeavour's for nought if we expend our lives against Shar, the goal is to change the balance of power, not just take a reduction on both sides. I can be very mobile on the battlefield, so I'll work hard to keep anyone from getting set on alone - we'll all work to support each other."
'I can hear you,' Phoebe sends, 'I have telepathic interception magic active.' Her voice is discreet, simply pointing it out without judgment.
As Antenora coughs into her hand in the meanwhile, Balyss offers her hand out, "Then it'll be an honor to fight with you. You've promoted?" She smiles a bit, "Same here, proxyhood's always a promotion, even if temporary."
Meanwhile to Alicia, Martan says, "Treasure as well - a treasure taken is a treasure lost for them."
"Unnoble." The Imposing King speaks up here, to which Martan smiles.
"Nonsense. Sunder them if you can. Shar will have no such dignity not to leave the fallen with their treasures." Martan declares.
"Bitch," Galya says, "To deprive the dead of their possessions in final rest is contemptible. May a dozen swirling sands flay at her back."With a narrow-eyed look and a gesture to the moon, "Empress, there is no nobility with her."
"None," Empress Sulia confirms. "We fight an enemy who cares nothing for what is right and good, nothing for what is higher in life."
"More reason for us to shine," Latha adds, hand curling around the handle of her mace, knuckles turning white.
Marie gives Phoebe an embarrassed smile before shaking Balyss's hand. "Yes, Ebony and I have it permanently unless something goes wrong, but going from coure to tulani and familiar to proxy so quickly is a bit dizzying!"
"Yes, nothing's beneath her it's important to remember that," Alicia says as everyone gets their hate on towards Shar. "Denying her powerful treasures or artifacts is another way to shift the balance of power with this sortie."
Phoebe seems content to let it drop at that, not commenting further.
"You married up, way up," Balyss admits with a little, teasing smile, "Though the real break was being summoned by Alicia. The stories I've heard of your time there and the house you lived in, are they true?"
The armored man with maces speaks up now, "A little thing like you made it this far? That's a story to itself," he declares, a full and strong voice. "It's a fight to make most courre clean up after themselves, let alone make it that far."
Meanwhile, Empress Sulia agrees with, "Smash them when you can, take them otherwise." As Galya's expression turns tense, "Galya, your world's traditions are commendable, but Shar is not part of that and has no such protections. She will use them to hurt others, to crush the noble and the valiant."
"Yes, my Empress," Galya closes her eyes and bows her head, "I still do not like it, but I understand."
"Never mind cleaning up after myself, I had to clean up after everyone else in that house," Marie tells the mace-wielder. "They'd never treat a cat familiar that way, but if you've got arms and legs you might as well be a maid! I don't think we've been introduced by the way," she offers him her hand.
Back with team Sulia Alicia just nods. "We should take care to not become like that which we fight, but in acting with violence we've already thrown civilized behaviour out. If you'd wound someone then you're already willing to take what is theirs... and I'll not mourn the destruction of an unholy weapon any more than I will the death of a sadistic murderer."
Balyss laughs a bit, "You two have fun, I want to talk to Alicia before this starts," Balyss says, going off.
"Luneli," The man introduces himself, "Along with a last name dust in the wind for eons. No one cares to ever use it, anyway."
Meanwhile Balyss comes over, interrupting. "Alicia?" she says, "Balyss of Selune," she comes over, "I've worked with Ebony a lot on Aurora."
"Yeah, two names, who needs 'em right?" Marie nods understandingly to Luneli.
Alicia turns at the interruption and nods approvingly. "Good to see someone else from Balmuria's made it this far - Ebony always spoke well of you. Did you hear about Lyris and Marianne's recent triumph?" she asks, offering Balyss her hand.
A handshake is given, Balyss's grip strong as eyes are on the two of you. "Selune mentioned," she says, "I heard it was a savage fight."
"Horrid," Empress Sulia declares, a hand to her cheek, "Savage and unrelenting bloodshed, a song of praise to Tempus."
Meanwhile...
Luneli smiles just a bit, "It's comfortable but I outgrew it. I'm no longer a knight of anything, just a servant of Selune. Though...did you not take Antenora's last name?" he muses aloud.
"Are you even married?" Phoebe asks at that, "I have not heard." She fades in and out, seeming to be nothing but a wisp of moonlight as she says, "The two of you seem happy together."
'It will be soon,' Selune's voice sends, 'Most have arrived now.'
"She took Alicia's and- ah, gossip later, duty calls," Marie smiles and peels off towards Alicia.
"Yes, I couldn't but regret it wasn't me there," Alicia admits. "But they did me proud in my stead. We'll talk more afterwards," she says to Balyss now it looks like they're about to get to business.
Groups return to one another, everyone preparing. As they do?
'Sorry about that, love,' Antenora sends to Marie. 'That was embarrassing for all of us.'
Alicia, at least one here is intercepting telepathic contacts as a tool. It is not hostile, but be aware of it.
Marie just shrugs.
Alicia just looks at Antenora a moment before speaking as the separate a bit from Sulia's group, "You should always assume that's possible and don't say anything by telepathy that you wouldn't say aloud," she whispers.
"I know," Antenora admits, "Sometimes my affection for Marie blinds me to such things." A hint of red on her cheeks, a clearing of her throat, rather loudly.
"If you're that enthused you can say so for all to hear, my love," Marie offers cheekily.
"I'm sure I don't want to know what was said," Alicia responds dryly, drawing her own conclusions.
Loudly, but also with a flex of divine will for privacy, Antenora declares, "Why Marie, I was wondering if you were going to learn from them. The legend of the naked Marie is a long and storied one." She's smiling now, "Though at least you didn't rescue her," A sidelong look at Alicia.
"I was naked when I captured Dragodan, maybe I should go naked here for luck!" Marie laughs, leaning over to hug Antenora.
"She didn't look in need of rescuing," Alicia glances over at Phoebe and her contingent.
Antenora returns the hug, "Do as you will, love," she says, "We should be ready soon."
Marie notices Luneli step into the darkness and vanish, though neither Balyss or Phoebe show any alarm at it.
Then it's probably planned and Marie doesn't make anything of it as she parts from Antenora.
"We will leave shortly," Selune's voice booms, "Be prepared!"
Last chance for anything before it gets hairy.
Alicia empowers herself just a little more with a short duration ability she can renew at will, her hand going to her sword. "Well then. This is it," she says.
Tossing up greater visage of the deity too, sure.

And thus they open - great portals, yawning wide and true. Portals that lead into absolute shadow, endless night ahead of you.
Latha is the first, moving ahead and shining bright. Antenora is but a step behind her, heading towards the portals as well. Thus darkness falls as all of you proceed. Darkness eternal, a shadow without beginning or end. Alicia cannot even see her friends, barely able to see her hands in this gloom. All is shadow once more, all has returned to nothing.
The song of Shar is the only sound. It cajoles you, calls to you. You feel your grip on Bonds weakening. How long has it been since you rested, since you forgot everything else and put aside your burdens? No one should have to labor under what you've struggled with. You've come so far and it's been so hard. No further.
It's time to sleep. Come to my embrace, Alicia.
It's finally time to sleep.
Awaken!
Selune's voice is like a great chime being rang, stirring you from slumber. Your eyes open wide as the realm of Shadow is revealed to you. Endless dark now, only faint images and hints of natural terrain features glimpsed. Gloomy mountains, lines that may be trees, sketches of darkness that may be paths.
Above you this illumination comes from the light of the full moon, which shines brilliantly above Shadow. Sacred power fills all the party, bolstering you beyond words.
We're coming to free Creation from you, Shar. Flee.
To this all the darkness begins to writhe, indistinct for now as...
Selune's light gives a +17 sacred bonus to all rolls, except rank checks. Chance to react.

"Stay close and stay strong," Alicia says to her friends, gripping her sword now as she swings it into position before herself, growing to colossal proportions now.
"I'll give us a better song!" Marie says, her own voice rising as she begins to sing against the numbing song of Shar, an uplifting hymn of praise to Alicia on her lips.

Challenges, battlecries. They all echo amid them, and you hear a few familiar voices.
"We will not be lulled astray!" Empress Sulia is heard, her voice mixing with so many others.
Give me a chance to claw you apart, Shar!
Time to burn, Shar!
Forward!
Before you the endless shadows begin to rise up. Yet around Marie the Song of Shar is suppressed at least in part, even as great, looming shadows arise, faceless and bigger than any others. hey appear by the hundreds, blending together and becoming a coherent whole, separate at the same time as they advance towards the party in all directions. Shadow itself rises against you as...!!!
We'll begin with this. Initiative. Reactions will be after that since this ran long.
Supreme init on Alicia, DvR 3.

"I'm sure there's still better to come, but we'll start with this," Alicia says as she makes sure nothing can teleport to get the drop on her before pinching close space between herself and those giant looming shadows, stepping through and starting to carve them up!
Quickened greater anticipate teleportation, free action to pinch space, free action to 5 foot step, full attack.

Belated but I'd have alter realitied ghost touch weapon for everyone's weapons when we were waiting earlier. The sort of thing Alicia would remember better than I would!
edit: Also the combust damage on those hits would be 160, not 80, since vivacious doubles vs undead and evil outsiders.
Alright, I'm surprised I didn't notice that with Antenora, too.
Your blade is the burning, exploding light in the night as you cleave through shadow after shadow. Enlarged you cut them all away, yet...more come. For every one you fell another surges forward, the number seemingly endless from the shadows. Even as moonlight and bursts of healing energy pass through, endless legions of shadows come forth. They continue to emerge constantly, a streaming flood of darkness as...
They provoke AoOs form your large size due to filling in the ranks. Do you wish to take it?
Unlike Seira I only have the one AoO so I'll save it for anything important and this doesn't rate.

Incorporeal touch for Alicia is 62, for Marie it's 67.
Both of them have repelling shield up, so anything that makes a melee attack on them has to make a reflex save (DC 28 in either case) or be pushed back 5 feet.

No, it resolves after the attack lands. So a full attack is interrupted but a single attack goes through.

Latha and Antenora are also hit.
The shadows are endless, an expressionless vista of shadow that claws at you. The touches rip and wither flesh despite being impossible to feel, little more than the shadowscape assaulting you. It is a savage hunger, a hunger felt with each wound. The shadows are hungry, they crave something, crave something with every breath and movement. Even as the shadow clawing Marie is pushed back, meanwhile...

Antenora's charge is an opal blaze, meeting her foes head on. She plunges ahead deep into the lines, a shadow impaled and more bursting as she advances. "Then we advance," Antenora agrees, plunging in as more shadows arise, then...

Marie follows everyone through the compressed space Alicia left, sticking close to her now giant sized goddess. She's still singing, doing her part to drown out Shar's song our at least negate the worst effects of it for everyone able to hear her, while her hand stretches into the air and disgorges an absolute torrent of radiant purple missiles that spiral out all over the plane of shadow, impacting off those self-same shadows and binding them with sticky chains of force!
Standard to maintain countersong, swift for an amazing barrage with all the metamagics.

Missiles fly as yet more foes rise. Yet you find something odd. Formed shadows within 30ft are struck, but anything not within 30ft of anyone is not. It just doesn't hit them to any meaningful effect at all, no matter how far your spell reaches. As Marie notes this latest development, meanwhile...
A flash of light. A column of flame and light cascades ahead, as meanwhile you hear a voice you don't know call, "In the name of the Firestar!" A man's voice, demanding more as...
Advance. Push forward as you can.
In the skies above great shadows go to clash against the light of the moon, twisting into reality. Creatures of all kind of shadow, from dragons to griffons to great, looming fiends with swords of shadowstuff. They all rush to the moon as beams of moonfire lance out, striking back against them.
Rise.
Yet this word is faintly muffled as Marie continues to sing, which...

The same horrors rise up around Alicia. A large, looming angel of shadow forms above, a greatsword of shadowstuff in hand. With it rises something that stops your heart for one moment - a shadow-woman of black hair, a phantasm in leathers and with twin short swords. Her eyes of nothing are closed and yet there is a smile on her face. You know this image too well - Shar. Some form of her? Some phantasmal image? A mere shadow copy? Perhaps even an avatar? Even as you hear Shar's voice, from the shadow's mouth comes the Song of Shar - and yet Marie sings.
Marie sings her countersong, a song of hope and life enough. It's enough to dull the song coming out of her mouth, muffle it.
The Song heralds your end, Alicia. You can't resist this time. The end comes this time.
The angel of shadow is 70ft away and 30ft in the air, while the Shadow Shar is 50ft away, short swords raised and ready.

Go.
Can I sense divinity from the Shar representation?
It doesn't have Shar's sense of presence, no.
Are the shadows not yet 'activated' protected by some kind of spell? Would antimagic disrupt it, or some sort of dimensional effect like ethereal chamber or make manifest?
You don't think so. As near as you can tell, they're some sort of direct manifestation of Shadow itself. Make manifest would be meaningless to that and if so, likewise ethereal chamber probably isn't going to help.
In your estimation, the 'unactivated' shadows are more of simple power or possibilities, not yet a creature or whatever these shadows pass as. Something like that and you could be wrong, but that's what it's looking like with a few rounds of this.
"See if summons will activate the shadows for mass attacks to diminish them!" Alicia calls as she moves to engage the figure aping Shar's likeness.
Swift to pinch space off randomly into the mass so we count as near more shadows and activate them, quickened SMX to get 1d4+1 storm elementals as widely spread as I can make them off in another direction to activate more shadows, then full attack on 'Shar'.

The shadows gather around the elementals summoned as meanwhile Alicia goes to engage Shar. In that moment the figure moves to parry, blade against shadows. It is a clash of holy fire and absolute shadow, blow after blow traded. Yet all it takes is one great swipe, slicing through the shadow blades, the shadow-image bisected. Flames erupt from it, the song muffled as a dozen shadow hands come from the unraveling shadow, all reaching for you as...
Fort.
Were all the moments of prescience used up?
[18:07] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+96 fort, mettle
[18:07] <Penuche2> Ebiris invokes Penuche's magic: < 101 > [d20=5]
Also any left over attacks after killing 'Shar' would go to the angel and then the random shadows in that order of priority.
Yes, sorry.
The hands grasp for you, claiming you - or they would, but your protections hold. It is enough to force them back, the shadow-Shar shattered, crumbling away.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Shadow Angel (48) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37)
As a loud boom echos across the battlefield, far away a bolt of thunder falls, bigger and wider than a tower. What it hits you can't tell in the chaos of battle, but for a moment all the Plane of Shadow is awash in lightning-glow. At the same time the Shadow Angel comes forth, and as it does, a wave washes over all of you, a wave of gnawing, burning pain.
Alicia and Antenora don't need to roll, they can't fail the save. Latha and Maria do. Fort save.

Alicia takes none thanks to mettle, as does Antenora. Marie and Latha take half and negate a negative status from it, so 35. Pierces DR.
It's like the chill of death, of like a thousand remembered wounds. The angel charges Alicia, going to challenge the deity head on with no regard for its own life. It's coming!
You can AoO it if you like, Alicia. Will you?

Alicia's sword slices through that of the shadow angel, pushing it aside and ripping into its chest. The creature is wounded and stopped, blow diverted and checked. A chance as...

Incorporeal touch for Alicia is 62, for Marie it's 67.
Both of them have repelling shield up, so anything that makes a melee attack on them has to make a reflex save (DC 28 in either case) or be pushed back 5 feet.

The shadows whirl and recoil, gathering again. 40ft away it rises - another Shadow Shar, emerging as if you didn't just defeat the last one.
This is only the beginning of our dance, Alicia.
In the sky above the horrors are held at bay by the wrath of the moon, each blast from it coring dozens of them out at once. Flying up to join them is a massive man, broad bodied and bearded, armored in solid silver all over. He rides on a massive chariot pulled by hounds slavering and slobbering, charging to Selune's aid. His voice is like a trumpet's blast, heard over all the battlefield.
"COME AT ME, YOU SNIVELING COWARDS!"
The beginning of the end, Shar.
Meanwhile, just behind the Shadow Shar two of them emerge. Twin giants, each a shadowed nothing of death and destruction. You have fought these unliving things before: They are nightwalkers, yet seem even darker than before, a shadow of nothingness.

The Shadow Shars are coming from the shadows themselves - an extension of them and perhaps the plane itself. They have no magic active on them - save for something suppressed, the Song interrupted and fought against. Something that empowers them greatly, filling them with unholy power and zeal.
"Keep singing Marie, it's making the difference!" Alicia says as she pinches space to bring the new enemies into range of her blades, stepping forward and sweeping them aside!

Again hands reach for you, but a swipe of your blade parries them away. Darkness and shadow clings as you hold - and from far away, a wave of restorative energy comes. It settles over you, soothing your wounds. Your blade again banishes the darkness, Shadow Shar shattered a second time. Yet the others loom, your efforts needed to eliminate just one.
50 hit points healed for all, someone went wide range with something.

Amid this one of the nightwalkers glides forward. Shadow hisses against your own aura, purity versus desecration. For a moment it looms high and over you - a moment, a flashback of Malice - before you see it reaching for Bonds, trying to grab it from you.

It's a blur. The shadows strike and yet you withstand the assault and the pain, as Latha is then there. She strikes the Nightwalker's arm back, sunlight causing it to swell and boil like water. As it hisses again Antenora is in the air, as...

Opal light trails behind her, mixing with your power and the sunlight, all as the Black Horn Spear impales the Nightwalker's head. It shudders a moment before erupting like goo, dissolving into nothing as it falls, leaving behind only but one enemy.

You mean the wave in the distance or something else?
Yes, a wave is like a wall that moves!
Assuming it's within 6800 feet for her to hit anyway.
That's shown in Seira's thread, but not yours yet since you're just catching up. Does that change your action?
Oh, my bad. She's still doing the barrage anyway, there's lots of stuff to hit over a wide area, hopefully it'll help other groups with their own shadow problems.
Shadows are pushed back, beaten again, the tide seemingly inexhaustible. As Marie's magic is fired and your friends are at your side?
You resist so desperately, but nothing will change Creation's fate. Why do you resist when it's meaningless?
I love them, that's why.
40ft from you another Shadow Shar rises, blades nothing but empty shadows.
Song can stop the Song, stand against her waves and advance!
Meanwhile, you can see something on the horizon - some vast tide of shadow, stretching as far as you can see, silently gliding forward.

"How many of your representatives must I slay, Shar?" Alicia asks, another pinch of space taking her towards that figure so she can lay into it, backswings of her blade cutting into the nightwalker at her rear after finishing the priority threat.
Free action to compress space and move into melee range with 'Shar', swift to quicken many moments of prescience, full attack.

With this it's a blur. Blow after blow cleaves through, Alicia making steady headway. Again a Shadow Shar is shattered, the second nightwalker screaming as Bonds puts it to oblivion.
Yet as you do, Shar's laugh is heard.
Play with shadows as long as you wish. You cannot win.
Meanwhile...
Selune suspects Shar may attack while we attack, and Dragodan would be a rich prize in particular. She wishes for me to protect Sylica as a favor, do you object?
Alicia is busy in combat and can't really spare time to alter reality for that sort of thing, but her avatar is able to tell Syala back in Sylica so that she can properly consent to Mystra giving them assistance, making sure to meet with whatever the Mother of Magic sends to help them.
'Do you need healing?' Latha shoots to you quickly, as there is a relative lull for the moment.
'I'm fine!' she thinks back at Latha.
With no foe at the moment, Latha flies to your side, protecting your flank - as the shadows come again, once again.
Going to AoO?
Nope, saving it for anything important that might show up.

"Endless," Antenora says as she dodges another touch, only for one to rake her legs, "No more slayable than the sea and tide. Nothing but endless minions." Shadows leers and attack, every one skewered merely replaced.

Halved for Marie and Latha, negated for Antenora and Alicia. They just love mettle.
The blast is massive, leavign the ground shaking. Whatever that was has your ears ringing, as amid the lunar battle above, horrors held back? The wave is getting closer. It's roaring in fast and atop it you see them standing atop it. Hundreds of warriors clad in armor and arms, all night black and riding in. Sharran dark justicars, Seira's knowledge tells her, warriors dedicated to Shar's service.
Selune!
Let the light of the moon vanquish every shadow before me!
Far above you see it - a warrior clad in darkness, flickering. A dancer, erotic and stunning. A creeping shadow, hands outreaching. So many and more, for you feel it. An avatar of Shar, approaching Selune.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37) > Wave (0)
Note the new addition to init. Go Alicia.

About 3000ft to the wall (and 80ft up to reach the crest as well) and Shar is several miles up, going after Selune's huge moon form.
The avatar's a bit too far for Alicia to reach immediately, she'll have to hope Selune can handle it. "Come on, lets clear what's on top of that wave before it gets close enough to endanger anyone," Alicia compresses space between themselves and the top of that wave so she can take a single step and end up above the wave, letting her see what's behind it but also putting all those warriors riding atop it in range of her blade.
Can compress up to 3300 feet so well in range for that, five foot step to get in position and then whirlwind attack.

Beyond the wave you see them - horrid things, shadows. You know this creature - faces of loss, Shar's favored shadows. An entire army of them, charging forth to meet Alicia and friends in a headlong battle.
At the same time you slice into the ranks of the dark justicars, above the wave just a moment as it passes. You cleave a dozen of them apart, slaying even as the moment passes.
They won't last long against Marie's missiles, so Alicia just sees how this rolling wave of shadow will handle a wall of force being placed directly under it.
Quickened wall of force to drop a 10x330 feet wall of force along the bottom of the shadow wave directly in front of it. Not using the other swift.

The wall appears and a chunk of wave hits it. Hunks of it are disrupted as at the same time, amid all of this? It comes. Blasts of power, eruptions of flame, wellrisings of stone and more. As it does...
Give me a CL check, just for my own reference, on the wall of force.
[21:34] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+37 wall of force cl check

+17 more if the Selune bonus applies.
Alicia puts forth a wall of force. A chunk of the wave is thus disrupted, falling apart as the dark justicars on that section take to the air, coming to a stop well before, riding what momentum they can. It's two waves now, but neither is slowing down from it, just a chunk of it gone.
Meanwhile amid all of this the shadows respawn again, assaulting and assailing all the party.

A dozen radiant assaults burst through the wall, ripping more parts of it open, sending a few more dark justicars to the air. As it roars past Antenora hurries through as well, healing wrapping over Latha and Marie as she goes.
Two swifts for divine succor, +100 HP to both of them.
As Antenora reaches Alicia's side she touches herself, a golden glow that suffuses her entire body.
Lay on hands for +108 hit poitns to top herself up. Marie.

Magic missiles fly wildly as amid all the chaos, there is a moment. A flash of light as another radiant storm bursts, Empress Sulia glimpsed in the air standing tall. A silver blast of moonlight disintegrates more of the wall, and then it comes.
Fire, ice, lightning, winds, force, stone. Walls, blasts, bursts. A steady barrage batters the wall amid this all. With the army holding well, no one overwhelmed? It is enough. The wave putters out, broken, dark justicars taking to the battlefield amid it all.
A gruff voice is heard now, yet undeniably commanding. Fight with all the strength of the stones.
Alicia has a bigger problem, however - the Faces of Loss are incoming. A truly massive army of them, no mere skirmish. You face tremendous odds, a moment of realization as...
Okay, I'm going to disclaimer this part: This is using the new army rules that have I've been working on.

The burst of sunlight hits the onrushing army head on. The lead shadow is simply gone, bleached away and leaving not even a mark behind it. The rest swarm, the head of the spear broken but all the shaft still coming your way.
As this happens, the lesser shadows again manifest, tearing at all you, never giving you a moment's peace.

Anything close to her recoils from her sunlight, as she stands firm at Alicia's side, ready to meet them.
She'll hold and lay into them when they get here. Her spell selection isn't great for this particular task, and Miss Missile Marie may change this calculus again.
'Marie, can you soften them up for me?' Antenora sends quickly.

The vanguard and front ranks are smacked hard, more and more hit and knocked back by them. It's scoring successes, but there's so many, more coming even as you down some and wound others. Those you entangle move little, but fresh Faces of Loss coming, twisting and writing into images only faintly remembered - fragments, nothing more, seeming not to manifest into painful nightmares - yet.
Marie looks unhappy at how resilient these undead are and disrupts her song long enough to cast another round of spells before she picks up her voice again.

Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Army of Faces of Loss (38) > Marie (37)
Funny story, something got mangled somewhere Friday - Marie was behind the army in init - but I'm going to make the executive decision to let it lie and adjust init instead.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37) > Army (36)
Marie's missiles strike fast and true, slamming into the army ahead. It covers many of them, doing considerable damage - it's not just one hit but many, enough to blunt the advance further. Yet at this broken advance, Antenora charging in, plunging into the ranks in a detonation of holy power.

With the spear of the attack broken, Antenora is able to charge in, plunging deep into the ranks. Faces of lost erupt in opal blue light and are torn apart by it, Antenora carving a deep, long path ahead. Faces shift in a thousand ways, all in vain to this assault as the survivors pour forward, leaving behind those entangled or broken, the attack being pressed as...

Already colossal, Alicia grows further, becoming something far greater than a titan, bestriding the battlefield as blades taller than mountains now scythe through the mass of shadows assailing them!
Already at the maximum size category, but now going to the maximum size available with Alter Size since hopefully that'll interact better with the army rules despite my space/reach officially remaining 30/30 feet.

Sure and that's something I'll need to account for in the rules when they go final, so good call. How big can you get?
"This ability allows a deity to assume any proportions from the size of a grain of sand up to as much as 1600ft tall."
Not quite mountain sized swords after all, but maybe as big as the Chrysler Building!
Okay, I'll assume 'big enough here.
Alicia's whirlwind of a blow slices through hundreds of faces of loss at once, standing against the tide. Great hunks of it are devastated, already softened by Marie's missiles and Antenora's charge. What's left of the army quails and breaks, scattering around you. As it does...
Come closer.
A black nexus appears, a portal shimmering with shadows. As the faces of loss scatter, the invitation ahead is clear.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Marie (37)
Chance to react to that.
"Would anyone actually fall for that?" Alicia asks scornfully.
Standing true now that the shadows are broken, "We will not."
The portal begins to expand - you can tell it's erupting with your arcane power, seconds away from becoming a massive rift, akin to something like a staff of the magi being broken.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Portal (60) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Portal (40) > Marie (37) > Portal (20) > Portal (0)
Did you have any swifts left, Alicia?
I have one! So I'll slap a quickened dimensional lock on the portal.

The portal resists - powerful magic is bolstering it. You'll need more than a dimensional lock to stop it, you believe, even with all of your power.
"Marie, this'll need your teleport block spell!" Alicia calls, and given how titanic she is it's probably heard all over the battlefield.
If anything comes through the portal, Alicia has greater anticipate teleport up which gives 3 rounds warning and tells her what creature type is coming.

The portal shudders and erupts, a spray of shadow-stuff coming out, splattering all over the party like black acid. The portal's tearing by the moment, power rushing through it more and more.

Whatever it is, it is vile to the core. It hurts deep in your body, the contact revolting. If you were mortal and survived this, you feel you'd be nauseated, worthless for anything. As it is you feel dreadful, withstanding it all.
"Healing?" Latha calls a single word as her shield holds true, parrying it all away from her.

To this the portal shudders and closes, winking out of reality. In that moment you know peace, a breath's time to recover yourselves.
It is then you see them, winking into reality over a mile away. Spheres of nothing, a dozen - three dozen - twelve dozen - hundreds. More and more Eyes of Shar are appearing ahead, gathering. At the same time the ground abruptly erupts, great yearning chasms lined with teeth. They rise up, space twisting as they pursue you, looking to pull you into the earth and consume you whole. So many of them, more by the moment, multiplying rapidly.
Yet in the distance you see it. A tower. Some sort of tower, some sort of edifice. It is hazy even to your divine vision, a promise of something as the Song of Shar rallies, growing stronger.
The Song of Shar is getting stronger. You can feel the power pulsing throughout the battlefield now, like a heartbeat. Marie's countersong is struggling against it.

Go.
"We need to wait on others catching up," Alicia says as she shrinks down to more manageable size while dodging the ravenous earth.
Still colossal for mechanical effect, just not mega-sized.She'll need to handle those eyes before they can threaten anyone else, but they're not in range yet so she'll see what she can do with those chasms, detonating a sunburst inside the maw of one while evading another!

"Hold," Antenora calls, shifting her spear to a defensive position, as meanwhile Alicia's magic struggles. Power is thick here, resisting you - but your skill at magic is sufficient to invoke your power. It erupts out, the maw glowing bright and knocking others back. For a moment the sun rises and then it fades, one maw maimed, split apart with its mouth mangled. Others are scorched and lightened from the exposure - but most of all, they're all coming at Alicia now.
A spire of the Palace of Loss. Be careful, Shar's power is stronger there.
You have reach so you can AoO if you want, Alicia.
Not taking it.

All around you the tide of them is momentarily stopped. Maws are broken by bursts of glory, holding the shadows at bay for a few crucial moments. At that moment...
Turn away while you still can, Alicia. Death is the only reward waiting for you ahead.

"Healing?" Antenora asks, a single word all the question that is needed.
"Only a little," Alicia replies just as tersely. They're stalled a moment, but can still ensure they won't be attritioned down after charging so far ahead of the rest.

Marie valiantly sings against the song, as - !!!
Ahead, the tower pulses with the emptiness, the void, nothingness. It is like seeing a hole in Creation, reaching out across all the battlefield.
Shar leaps back as she battles Selune, letting this creep forth towards the Moon.
All light seems to fade as...
Fortitude saves all, Marie partially blocks for your side so -19 penalty only.

Marie feels...empty. Before her eyes Antenora fades away.
She's gone.
She's gone.
She's gone.
Everything else seems to no longer matter to her, everything else is cold, falling to her knees as...
Some instinct, some unknown reason and ability. Marie cries out, a momentary nightmare gone. She aches inside, feeling numb and yet hurting, a feeling of bleeding within, as if the center of her body could feel such a thing.
But Antenora's still there, even if all Marie can feel is emptiness.
Marie's positive emotions are currently offline.
Meanwhile Latha stands there, stone still, as she silently cries. Tears fall down her face as she makes not a sound, robotically raising her shield up to defend against the shadows.
Chance to react while I post Seira and then come back to both for more.
Marie can't quite bring herself to sing anymore! She floats listlessly now, arms hanging limp at her sides and head tilted downwards with a dull expression on her face.
"Marie! Latha, snap out of it!" Alicia calls, preparing to try and do something about it herself and hoping that she'll be strong enough.
The battlefield feels darker after that, everything dimmer. There seems to be silence more than anything else, just the distant sounds of war as silently, the maws gather and reform again, more shadows restoring themselves from obliteration.
'Marie, if you don't stop that right now, we're going to spend a MONTH listening to to the Song of the Gears,' Antenora sends quickly.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > The Chasms (67) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > Eyes of Shar (41) > Marie (37) > The Tower (28)
"It's just... so hard..." Marie whispers, each word a struggle to articulate as she slowly raises her head and blinks, though a degree of emotion returns as she takes in all the shadows and maws and other horrible things.
It's mostly fear though, unfortunately.
Okay, more on this on Marie's turn unless another action provokes something. In the meantime you're up, Alicia.
"Come on you two, get it together!" Alicia urges Marie and Latha, exerting her will not to combat the effect directly but rather to give them another chance at shrugging it off as Alicia and Antenora did.
2 limited wishes quickened to give Marie and Latha a +16 insight bonus on their next saving throw. (half of Alicia's CL, similar formula as say Improvisation). Alter reality used to mimic Mass Resurgence to give them a fresh save against the effect.

Is that it for your turn.

The chasms come - and Alicia and Marie dodge, focused on it. As they blur from shadow to shadow, chasing them away? You see one pounce on Antenora and swallow her whole, vanishing her to within. Yet you barely have a chance as Latha cries silently and holds her position, while the shadow hell assaults all of you once more.

For notekeeping, Antenora used divine succor and furious strike, as well as a smite.
A moment later that maw explodes in a flare of opal blue light, Antenora emerging with the plunging speed of a meteorite. "There's more inside," Antenora calls, "An entire realm of deeper shadows!"

Marie starts to sing against Shar's evil song again, doing her best to drown it out around them!
She also sends a swarm of magic missiles spread around the maws, there being too many for her to really make an effective impact on them but considering how they just respawn and there's not much else in range it's not worth her effort doing an amazing barrage.

Missiles fly true as in the sky above Shar and Selune battle. Shar races in towards the moon as a beam of moonfire flies, then splits into two. Shar jukes to one side, taking a hit to her hip, the avatar struck. At the same time the other is deflected away, suffused with dark energy as you see it split into many, raining down on the battlefield.

Auto hit. Anyone have miss chance or any protection against rays?
Marie and Alicia both have ray deflection up.
Aegis of the Tarrasque shields Latha.
360 damage to Antenora, no reduction.
Chaos as the beams strike, but Alicia and MArie are safe, protected from the profaned blast. Antenora is not even as Latha's mechanical shield work protects her, send hurtling back from the impact as...
Chance to react, since tower next and it has to be done in tandem, so I need to post Seira first.

Alicia looks relieved that Latha's still defending herself, but Antenora's in trouble. She'll have to heal her while still somehow fixing Latha... Marie keeps up her singing, though her voice catches when she sees Antenora struck.
The Tower. In the aftermath the tower is glowing again. This time you see it, a dozen shadows flare around Seira as...
Advance if you can, but carefully. If you cannot, help Seira.

Go.
She's a little busy herself right now! First of all she has to heal Antenora, while making Latha into her familiar and casting a spell to boost her. "We'll advance, but slowly once Latha's better."
Silver Fire heal on Anty, +150 HP. Latha gets made my familiar, main benefit is her base fort save will be +5 higher and she gets +17 natural armour and 2 uses of limited wish as a spell like ability. As she's my familiar I can cast personal range spells on her and cast Many Moments of Prescience, quickened. That's CL 33 and gives her a +30 insight bonus to an attack/save/AC/opposed skill check up to 4 times before being expended.
Also as my familiar we have an empathic bond so she'll feel Alicia's positive emotions which might help her?

Silver Fire heal on Anty, +150 HP. Latha gets made my familiar, main benefit is her base fort save will be +5 higher and she gets +17 natural armour and 2 uses of limited wish as a spell like ability. As she's my familiar I can cast personal range spells on her and cast Many Moments of Prescience, quickened. That's CL 33 and gives her a +30 insight bonus to an attack/save/AC/opposed skill check up to 4 times before being expended.
Also as my familiar we have an empathic bond so she'll feel Alicia's positive emotions which might help her?[/b]
She only needs 35 to max out since sensual blessing doubles it.
Also distance to the eyes?Since Alicia will likely bend space to get them closer to the eyes for battle, Marie waits in readiness for that, a grateful look given to Antenora while she continues singing.

A mile, some space.
As you take them in, you see the Eyes are already a little beaten, battered. Flame and missiles have surely reached at least a few, striking blows there. Yet they gather and...
Anything else for Marie with that or is she good?
She's not acting she's holding until after Alicia.
Okay, just a quick bump up here to get you above the IRC scene before I check in on Seira and see about synching as needed.
From the tower it comes - an absolute of nothing, of sheer emptiness, a blank in Creation. It flies far and true, coming right at Seira, a wave of it surrounding her, seeming to blot her out entirely.
"Trust in her, forward," Antenora, urges, turning towards the Eyes as...
Obviously what's next depends on how Seira's side hashes out. For the moment, feel free to react and prep your next turn, since you do have supreme init.
"Forward," Alicia agrees. "We'll give them something else to think about." She compresses space ahead and flies forward through that twist in the plane of shadow, Marie following. Now less than half a mile away from the gathering Eyes of Shar. Marie lays down a wall of force ahead of them, nothing that Alicia can't space-compress past but it's directly between them and the tower, so might give some shelter against whatever it throws their way next.
We're just moving since there's nothing meaningful in range to fight, next turn we'll be able to fight the eyes. Good time to heal or buff up if anyone has anything to throw out.
Sure. Anyone on your end need healing, Alicia?
Latha and Anty could use a little, no one's critical though.

Antenora will top up Latha and Alicia by +100 HP. She'll also drop opal protection.
Opal Protection
Abjuration/Enchantment (Compulsion) [Good, Mind-Affecting]
Level: Pal 8
Targets: Allies in a 40ft radius burst
This spell is identical to divine protection, except as noted here. Allies gain a +3 morale bonus to armor class and saves. They are treating as being under a mind blank spell, but only against spells with the evil descriptor or by spells cast by evil outsiders.
'Do either of you want my sunmantle?' Latha asks as you all fly forward.

"Marie needs it more right now," Alicia says, expecting the eyes to try and focus on Marie and Latha after she and Antenora engage them, simply as a matter of maximising their ability to do harm in the face of the two's defences.

In the sky Shar and Selune still do war - but darkness is gathering around Shar, slowly pushing back against the light of the moon.
Above, a figure rises up on a platform of solid stone. A dwarf clad in gold and bronze colored armor, decorated with smooth red gemstones. His gray beard is long and full, a great warhammer in hand as the stone platform grows up from the ground, a SHINK of shifting stone, almost like metal, as it becomes a solid iron anvil. He stands right between Shar and Selune, "SHAR!" Moradin roars, in a voice that covers the battlefield. "Too long have you profaned caves and taken the earth. No more!"
Come and die, Soul Forger.
Amid this the shadow hell strikes, no mercy for you, not even now.

Yet this time you all stand against it, enduring the vile magic. Nothing bows you this time, nothing stops you. You all stand forward as the Eyes yet gather and...
Go Alicia, supreme init.
Stand fast only boosts fort saves right now, lasts until the Tower goes again.Space compresses again, Alicia steps forward to end up in the middle of all those eyes. Then she grows, once more bestriding the plane of shadow like a colossus, her sword scything through those fell orbs and leaving a rain of darkened hemispheres in her wake!
Free action to compress space, five foot step through, swift to go from colossal to colossal+ max size for better army killing potential, then whirlwind attack.

If it was just one orb I'd think using space compression would be reasonable for getting around the space-twisty defence that comprises their miss chance, but would it work on an army?

Honestly, it's DM judgment territory. I'd allow a chance, but with some sort of opposed check involved.
'If it were one I could, but against an army I can't guarantee it,' Alicia replies.
'Will you try?' Latha asks quickly.
'Yes.'
Latha holds then. Antenora will charge in and try and break them, or otherwise just take the brunt of it as needed.
"Repent of this path or be destroyed," Antenora cries, flying ahead into them, a spear aimed right at the vanguard of the gathering masses, as the tower ahead continues to radiate un-reality.

Well, it wasn't a crit threat even if it hit, at least.
Yet the dimensions twist and turn around Antenora, her spear failing to find everything as space warps.

They come. They come silently, flying ahead, black balls of absolute nothing and unholy energy swarming. They come closer and closer, each threatening obliteration with a mere graze of its body.
Fort saves all, note if immune to disintegration.

Although hurt, Marie keeps up her song with a desperate intensity, knowing what's about to come from that tower.

This time the Tower's silent, no immediate attack - but dozens of dark, twisted souls fly up around Alicia, just as they did against Seira a little while ago.
'Your turn,' Antenora thinks grimly, '...look!'
Up in the sky Shar and Selune clash - and Selune shifts. Her light continues as she becomes humanoid, a mature battle maiden with mace in hand. The two glare at each other across the battle - only for a dwarf to be there. Moradin attacks Shar headlong, Selune rushing in to press the advantage. Yet farther ahead, past even the army of Eye sof Shar, another wave of darkness is coming. This one is vastly larger, vastly bigger, the only thing it doesn't blot out is the Tower.
'We need to smash through and destroy that tower,' Antenora's mental voice is grim, 'Do something that matters here besides slaying minions and holding the line!'

"I'm killing these anyway," Alicia says grimly, attempting to use space compression to cancel out at least some of the twisting the orbs are doing so as to help Latha and Marie. She herself has a far more expedient solution of casting true strike before her titanic blades sweep through the swarm.
Free action to try something with space compression to help the others, however it works. Quickened true strike and whirlwind attack.

The Eyes of Shar are further battered. They're cut and battered, but not showing signs of going down yet, either. Damaged but not out of it, in other words.
These are her last amazing barrages, but it's for a worthy cause right? Marie recasts her spells and then gets back to singing against Shar's own song!

More blasts strike out at the Eyes of Shar, hitting one and all, cracking them hard. A few crumble away into nothing under that attack, others enduring the abuse.

Nope. They didn't die from the whirlwind attack and barrage spam? They're in range just as much as the orbs are.
That would do then. Shadows and Latha. Shadows first for ease.

The strikes of the shadows never end, a barrage against you that chips and claws. As Latha stands amid it she takes her lumps as she dodges, then focuses and...
Latha will hold pending Antenora and how that turn changes the battlefield. She has a lot of options and none are great here.
Antenora flies up, ignoring the touches of the spheres, before suddenly plunging down like a shot into the center of the army, a mote of light amid the dark.
1 of 2 charge as standard action uses of her boots used.
Blowing a holy fury point to heal Latha 100 points.

With the distortion momentarily tamed and the core of the army exposed, Antenora plunges in like a shot arrow. She lands hard, eruptions of holy light spreading all about them. Damaged Eyes of Shar break apart, gusts of wind blowing everywhere. Gouges from flame, from missiles and from blade all strike home, a cascade that erupts amid the force. In that moment the Eyes of Shar scatter, the force broken as survivors spread about. For just one moment, the Tower looms ahead, no enemy to oppose you.
Space Compression paid off big time, along with Seira's crown plus Marie's missiles to do lots of softening for Alicia and Antenora to finish it.
Init is Alicia (Supreme Init) > Marie (68) > The Chasms (67) > Latha = Shadow Hell (43) > Antenora (42) > The Tower (28) > Wave.
Latha peers ahead at the tide coming forth as, "Are we in need of healing?"
Quick question here, though obviously things are incoming.

It's hard to tell - it's oddly indistinct, but you'd say 3 miles now that you really look at it. Space isn't right - you know enough about running and managing a realm to tell space has been told to shut up and do what Shar wants here, rather than doing what the rules of reality suggest.
The wave's 2 and a half miles away and closing fast.

Not this time.
ok.
If you can destroy the tower, do so. We will retreat soon, more if you destroy it. Our lesser allies flag, and worthwhile things have been taken.
"Understood," Alicia says aloud, eyes on the objective ahead of them.
From the tower it comes - an absolute of nothing, of sheer emptiness, a blank in Creation. It flies far and true, coming right at you like nothing else. It's enveloping you, crushing you and - !!!!
Fort, -19 penalty.

It's just for you, so need for that or for Marie to make a save.
600 damage, but you made the save so it's negated. Mettle is huge here today.
The blast is titanic, yet Alicia endures. A flicker in the back of her mind, of husband and child. It gives her the strength to stand strong, to resist as the wave comes, crashing down onto all of you like eternal nothingness.

The wave deals 300 damage (and some other nastiness you all immune) and sweeps you along. You can choose one of the two options.
1. Be swept along but reduce the damage to 150.
2. Take the full 300 and stand your ground.
Latha evades so this is moot for her. Your calls on which.

Wasn't it two and a half miles away? That's like twice the speed of sound.
Also Alicia's absolutely gigantic right now so it probably doesn't even come up to her knees. Lets stand our ground anyway, we can heal and push on.

Even while advancing towards that tower, Alicia's divine senses remain attuned to the battlefield.
It doesn't look like they're going to get any support here but if Selune has to flee she doesn't plan on sticking around any longer herself, and even with the Moonmaiden's presence she doesn't want the four of them to get into a situation they can't get out of.
Quick Perception? May matter for something here.

You can notice the tower is momentarily far closer when you first move through your compression, then a split second later is back to appearing far away.
Did it appear within the range I can compress when it seemed to be closer?
Yes.

Again the Tower is glowing - and this time, dozens of dark spirits erupt around Antenora.
Antenora shows no hesitation at it, "Try harder," she says in defiance, staring ahead at the tower.
Wave is up, will cover that in Seira's topic so you don't need to linger on it. You're up, Alicia.
"Here we go, Marie help me bring it down. Antenora and Latha, play defence for us," Alicia says as she compresses space ahead of her to the same distance as she saw the tower in that brief flicker during her last push forward, immediately stepping forward with Marie to hopefully get in range before things shift around again.
Seeing if that works before anything else happens.

There! A split second where it's in range ,a moment where you're right before it. A dark tower that looms high, a moment when -!
You have at least a second's chance.
Alicia swells in size to match the looming tower and sweeps her her sword low through its base while Marie drops a swarm of meteors on top of it to crush it from above!
Alicia uses a swift to go colossal+ and gets as many attacks as she can out of a full attack, Marie goes for a quickened meteor swarm on the roof, and then a twinned if she can manage it.

With your size increased and in that moment, you manage to strike the tower. Your blade cuts through shadowy stone as meteors erupt around it, a one-two combination that sunders it. The tower begins to fall, a moment of defenses overcome, before a titanic wave of pressure slams into the party.
Ref all.

'Further or do we fall back?' Antenora asks quickly.
'We're done,' Alicia responds curtly.

Well done. Can you escape or do you need aid?
No longer immediately stressed and only needing a minor effort to put up a quickened gate now, Alicia can reply via godspeak.
We can evacuate ourselves, it's time to go.
Where is the gate to, first of all?
Was waiting till my turn, but Alicia will open a gate to the Gates of the Moon where we started at once she has the chance."Go!" she urges her friends, Marie not needing to be told twice as she hustles through, Alicia going last.

Moonlight.
Antenora stands once through the portal, going to hover over Marie, protect her without a word, healing soothing her wounds. Latha exhales, "Lathander's mercy," she breathes, "It was as if all of Shadow was at war with us."
You stand atop a rocky crag overlooking an endless sea atnight, the moonlight from above shining brightly down.
Alicia is back to normal size, the gate closed once they're through and in Selune's realm... it's odd to think that she's here while Selune herself is absent, though with avatars she doesn't think she's the strongest being in the Gates of the Moon.
"Now lets see who also makes it back..." she says tensely while Marie exhales loudly and leans against Antenora, rubbing her throat.
"Thought I'd sing myself hoarse back there. At least we destroyed a lot of those Eyes of Shar? They can't be easy to replace," the eladrin volunteers.
Antenora's answer is an embrace, holding Marie to her. "It shows us the enormity of the goal of stopping Shar, what a task Creation faces to stop the Prophecy of Primus. That was only the beginning."
"May they all return," Latha agrees, going to Alicia. She gently hugs her as well, "I felt as if I would never again know warmth at times, that I would only know a shivering, freezing, suffering sleep."
"But we won." Antenora says, "We stood against it, we showed we won't fade quietly away as Shar wants." A squeeze of Marie before she looks up to Alicia, "It gives me more reason to fight. If the Prophecy comes true, that will spread to every plane, every reality, even Sylica."
Marie nods understandingly as Latha describes what it was like when they were affected by that tower.
"We need to be strong," Alicia agrees, giving Latha a hug, un-intimate as it may be with their bodies armoured and girded for war. "It wasn't a victory, we scratched her but bled in turn. When it's all tallied up, I'm not sure she lost anything that meaningfully weakens her... but it may only be the first step. Of gods roused to battle her with more energy and vigor, until she truly does break."
"One day," Latha agrees. "For now...let us rest a few moments."
Antenora goes to sit amid the flowers, bringing Marie with her. "Do you know how Seira did?"
Marie placidly sits down next to Antenora and rests her head on her shoulder, quiet now after all that singing.
"She was fighting an avatar. Luneli and Ranbar were with her, but Luneli didn't make it," Alicia says gravely as she parts from Latha.
"He died well," Antenora adds. "May Selune have saved his soul."
'I'm still not enough,' Latha sends to you. 'Shar....showed me that, maimed me with it. I wasn't enough to escape capture in Hell, I wasn't enough to turn the tide there. She made it seem so clear, that the only way out...the only way out was to to...embrace her and end myself. That shivering, miserable sleep.'
Alicia takes Latha's hand in hers and squeezes it. 'She lied though. Nothing she says can be trusted.'
"She's right," Latha speaks it aloud, Antenora glancing over. "I'm not...not now. Right now I'm not strong enough. I need to improve myself, strengthen myself. As I am now, I'm not enough."
"That's true for all of us," Marie says, looking over as well. "Hang in there, Latha. We'll keep training and fighting so we get stronger."
"From what I saw of the avatar fighting Seira, I wouldn't have been able to compete," Alicia agrees. "But that's how it always is, we have a goal to strive for, to overcome."
"The road to Chronias winds on," Antenora quotes, getting a ghost of a smile from Latha.
'Alicia? Are you and yours well?' Empress Sulia's voice.
'Yes, we all made it out safely. Yours?' Alicia sends back, looking to see if Empress Sulia and company are here with them at the Gates of the Moon. The lack of returnees is getting a bit concerning.
They aren't in your immediate area.
'Yes,' Empress Sulia sends, 'Where are you?'
'The Gates of the Moon, where we met before departing earlier,' she replies.
"Hearing from Sulia now, they made it out okay," she says aloud.
'We will come to you, your location makes the most sense, dear' Sulia sends, 'Ah, Selune answers me, the wave swept those it took out of Shadow and to various locations. There is a great deal of reorganizing going on.'
'I'll see you in a moment then.'
"Apparently that last wave banished a lot of people out of Shadow and they're regrouping now, we should see other arrivals imminently," she says, with prompts Marie to run her fingers through her hair in an effort at fixing her appearance.
Latha doesn't bother, while Antenora smiles. A wave of divine will, fixing Marie's hair up perfectly, not a hair out of place, everything perfect and well done.
It is Seira who appears first. Ranbar carried, looking oh so very small. A dwarf is with them, armored and with open hints of fatigue as he follows.
Empress Sulia is battlestained but intact. She carries Martan, who is still and unresponsive, eyes closed.
Galya's bare body is splashed with splotches of drying black liquid and blood, some hers and some from who knows what. She walks with her head upright, but her expression is tight, tense.
The Imposing King is as he was before, only more touched by battle's ravages. He walks with the same patient energy as before, unbowed.
Antenora comes over, "How are they?"
Marie gets up as well while Alicia follows Antenora. "It's good to see you all who made it back," she says, a concerned look at Martan and Ranbar.
"Ranbar got hit with the blindness curse, except it's got a mental despair component because it's fucking Shar," Seira says angrily. "Luneli died, but I'm hoping being a proxy saved him from Shar's soul-annihilation magic, and the spark didn't get stolen, at least. Nothing to do about either until Selune has time to look into things, so let's focus on Sulia for now." Turning towards the empress, she repeats her earlier question. "How can we help?"
"He will be," Empress Sulia promises softly, holding him. "I fear the same has taken Martan. Can you remove it?"
"I can try my song of freedom, but I'll need some help to boost it," Marie volunteers.
She can basically crank out a Break Enchantment at +43 but that won't beat a DC of 11 + Shar's CL. It's still probably the strongest base effect we have available here so if wishes/alter reality/miracles can add on bonuses to her roll it might work.
Seira shakes her head. "I've spent all my resources in fighting Shar's avatar off. Without them or Selune's support, no chance of it. I can only do what I had for Ranbar, and provide a dreamless slumber until Selune has a chance to stop by."
Not enough here to quite crack it, I think. Post otherwise if you think you can show otherwise, by all means. I assume boosting is used, but as it won't be enough I'm not going into details. Again, correct me if I'm wrong.
Marie sings - but as beautiful as it is, it isn't enough, not yet.
"Sorry," Marie sags afterwards on seeing nothing done. "I think this'll need Selune or someone on that level after all."
"Latha, can you use the brightest Light spell in your repertoire?" Seira muses, feeling better at the song. "Maybe if Light counters Shadow, the spell will be easier to break."
Okay, so say Latha burns like a torch and makes Shar's spells uncomfortable and lowers the spell's DC. Then we use wishes/alter reality/miracles, though not to boost CL but to lower the DC of Shar's spell vs a single roll some more. I can try my hand at it and see if we get a high roll. If Marie can aid in the vein of cooperative magic, maybe we'll punch through. Thoughts?
Latha's certainly willing to aid, as is Antenora. Up to y'all if you want to try.
Sure, Marie has loads of bardsong and alter reality costs nothing, whatever's needed I'll do.
Cool. I'll boost my roll to +53 with a creepy tattoo and use twin Miracles to try and lower the SharSpell DC on Ranbar and Martan. So that's two!
00:29 <Seira> roll 1d20+53
00:29 <Penuche> Seira invokes Penuche's magic: < 64 > [d20=11]
Empress Sulia closes her eyes, glowing with a radiance that shines even amid the moonlight. "Please..." she breathes out, holding Martan.
Antenora is next, laying a hand on Ranbar's head, "See again," she says, voice gentle.
Alicia's own will joins them, a current of power underlying everything else, rising up to join them all.
The light of the moon and the sun come together, Latha rising into the air. She says not a word as radiance spills forth, brightness nearly blinding - save for four points of darkness, two sets of eyes utterly open and black.
Amid this all, there is a shuddering shake of - !!!
> roll 1d20+85
<Penuche> Kotono invokes Penuche's magic: < 91 > [d20=6]
AC, Seira?
Regular AC is 103 with my spells still active (minus Selune and Luneli's bonuses)
From Ranbar's eyes a claw of shadow reaches out for Seira - yet she manages to project a field of pure force, a momentary reaction that is enough. It blocks the claw, averting it. The light of the moon shines brighter amid all of it.
Leave.
With an unearthly howl and under assault from all places, the darkness within those four eyes erupts out like a burst fruit, spilling everywhere and gone beneath the power here. All that is left is empty eye socket afterwards.
Seira touches the pair, calling upon the magic of regeneration. Good thing they were asleep, and spared this much, at least.
Alicia bows her head in gratitude for Selune simplifying what would have surely been an ordeal otherwise.
The wounds are vile - but Seira's presence is nothing but holy, enough to overcome such a problem. Eyes return, both resting deeply.
"Rest now," Empress Sulia agrees, "Rest."
Antenora exhales, "Another small victory," she concurs. "One step at a time."
"Nothing small about it," Seira tells Antenora, grinning widely. "That place actually got me down and I didn't even realize it till I heard Marie sing. There's always a way if we work together! Shar's pretty damn insidious to make me forget it even briefly."
Marie smiles at the praise. "I was just saying, all those corrupted umbral blots we got rid of, those things are really rare!" she gushes. "Shar lost a lot today."
"Still Marie, she can afford that easier than we can afford the loss of our own champions. Lets wait and see how it all tallies up before patting ourselves on the back," Alicia says grimly, not wanting to rain on their parade but still trying to stay realistic about their achievements.
Good to move along slightly then, all?
Sure.
"There's Shar's magic to consider, too," Seira speaks up, appearing more level-headed now. "Fighting her in melee was overwhelming, but a great part of that is due to her spells. She's focused on drawing power from shadows and death, even devoting a third of her spells to that. That final death magic in particular I've never seen in actual use before. Nasty stuff, but if I manage to match Selune's power at least for nullifying enemy spells it'll actually open the possibility of taking the fight to Shar's avatars properly. That's where I'm thinking of focusing, along with exploring better magical defenses."
And thus they return. Groups, clusters. Mostly intact to your eye, but one notable addition is not there. You see no sign of Balyss at all, even when Phoebe returns with her other allies.
Luneli and Balyss? Alicia approaches Phoebe. "Phoebe. I saw what happened to Luneli, he stood bravely against an avatar of the Dark Dancer... what of Balyss?" It's possible that shadow wave swept her somewhere difficult to get out from, but just as possible she fell in battle.
Seira follows after her, letting Ranbar rest and recover for now.
"Her soul rests in Selune's arms," Phoebe explains, battlestained herself. "Our mission was a success and Balyss gave her life, though I was able to save her soul. Her soul is wounded but she will recover with Selune."
"Her soul?" Antenora breathes out, "What nightmare did you confront?"
"Did you end up fighting an avatar as well?" Seira inquires. "I didn't see Shar grab Luneli's soul or the divine spark, so I'm hopeful Selune managed to protect them."
"No, something else," is all Phoebe says of it. "Selune will be some time with that and Balyss."
"So that's confirmation that both are safe?" Seira asks hopefully. "I didn't want to pester Selune just for my peace of mind, but I'd be happy to know."
"Yes," Phoebe says, "We are deeply fortunate Shar did not press and take that, or was unable to at the time."
"Very...fortunate," Antenora murmurs, "Almost too fortunate."
"The might of an avatar of Shar contesting the true Selune? That's one divine contest she has no chance of winning."
Alicia gives Antenora a 'are you kidding me right now' look.
"What Antenora means is she's very happy that two brave souls won't have to suffer whatever tortures Shar would have subjected them to if she'd had a chance to capture them," she says more diplomatically to Phoebe.
Antenora returns that look evenly, "I'm relieved that they're back, but nor do I put it past Shar to play mind games with us. That's all."
Phoebe inclines her head to Seira and then Alicia. "I understand your intent, if not your phrasing." she responds to Antenora. "It would not be the first time she has sacrificed a pawn to capture a queen."
"But my words were...ill chosen and focused on the wrong thing at the wrong time," Antenora concedes. She exhales, "My apologies."
"Facing Shar affects all of us," Phoebe says, "You are forgiven."
"Anything we can do to help with the cleanup?" Seira offers. "And it might be a good time to ask when you're planning another excursion against Shar's interests."
"Yes, just because the sortie has ended doesn't mean our cooperation has," Alicia seconds Seira. "This was an important first step, and we should build on it together."
"Soon, but Shar is not the only evil, and others do not sleep." Phoebe says and then -!
"They do not," Selune is there, a mature warrior woman, untouched by the battle and radiant. "Alicia, your offensive against the Tower was a success. Seira, your bravery and occupying an avatar of Shar enabled others to strike harder and freer. Empress, your battles held the line and protected others from Shar's attacks. You all have my gratitude - and a gift from plunder taken."
"It's a shame that we could only occupy one, and I'm sorry I couldn't keep Luneli safe. But you can count on a better performance next time!"
"The Palace of Loss has one less spire, for the moment at least," Alicia turns to Selune and smiles slightly.
What comes first is a short sword, scarred and pitted iron. Yet it is not broken, unsheathed but unbroken.
"Dweomerbane," Selune says, "A sword created to slay mages of all kinds and tempered in the blood of the arch mage tricked into creating it."
"Wow!"
"One of the heroes who fought to liberate Lifasa had a similar sword, if I recall..." Alicia says, suitably impressed as she peers at the weapon deadly to... well, almost every serious threat at their level.
Antenora considers it a moment, "Seira? Short swords are your weapon...unless you want to try it, Marie?"
Dweomerbane: Short sword+6, mage bane. Counts as cold iron to bypass damage reduction. Deals extra damage per strike equal to the highest level arcane spell active on the target. For example, a 5th level arcane spell being active grants +5 damage per strike.
"Let's do this the adventurer way?" Seira proposes. "It's not really as exciting as this ceremonial process, but we'll see what gifts fit us best that way. Since they're gifts as it is, I'd be happy with anything I receive!"
"I don't really do melee combat," Marie demurs.
"Of course," Alicia says to Seira, "We'll be happy with anything, likewise."
"Melee combat may choose to find you," Antenora replies, a glance at Marie.
Selune merely nods in understanding as the second comes. This is a silver helmet, mithral perhaps. Open faced with a T bar going down the center of the face. "Helmet of Battlelord," Selune says, "It grants the wearer several spells to invoke to enhance their combat ability."
"May I take a look?" Seira requests, curious about the spells. Beside the utility of such an artifact, it can always serve as inspiration to see what another combat-oriented mage decided was the proper combat loadout.
Marie holds out her hand and a glowing purple blade projects from it, much like a longsword. "It's okay, I have options," she says before shaking her hand and dismissing the brilliant energy weapon forged of herself.
"That looks useful," Alicia says, though neither it nor the short sword call to her she could give either to a trusted follower or ally and be happy.
"Of course," Selune offers, as...
Helmet of the Battlelord: This helmet allows the wearer to cast the following spells 1/day as an SLA: Haste, greater heroism, righteous might, recitation, greater mage armor, greater visage of the deity. All spells are CL 20th. The helmet can only grant each spell once per day, no matter how many people wear the helmet.
Seira nods thoughtfully. "An excellent selection, though I'd recommend adding a shield given the concept." Blushing slightly, she steps back. "Ah, don't mind me, I'm just thinking out loud."
Antenora cracks a smile at that while Selune merely goes on. The third is a ring, glistening red.
"Albar's Ring," Selune says, "Something that aids those such as Ranbar, enhancing their inspiration and willpower."
"Since you mentioned her by name, I'd be happy to receive it on Ranbar's behalf."
"Well that one's obvious who it should go to I think, unless Sulia has someone with that skillset she's been keeping under wraps," Alicia observes.
Sulia smiles, "Take it - and I'd like the helmet," she says.
The helmet flies to Sulia and the ring to Seira. "Alicia, would you accept Dweomerbane?"
"I'd be honoured to," Alicia reaches out with both hands to accept the dangerous short sword.
Seira beams, saying, "Thank you for the gracious gift, Selune."
With gifts taken and exchanged, the parties intact and ready to return home, everyone...
Level up time. Congratulations!
