Sylvie opens and will hold on Afina, in case she's about to go all radius damaging.

It's common knowledge enough that all of you know the dog creatures on sight. They are canoloths, lesser yugoloths that serve as scouts and guardians. Two heads means these aren't normal ones, and their tongues look upgraded as well. Normally they'd be no threat to you, and probably still aren't. But obviously watch out for their bites or being tackled by them. That tongue of theirs can paralyze.

No chance of failing the roll on the dogs, so there you go. K:P is possible on the cloak + eyes creature.

<Serith> Surraruthru roll for Serith < 44 > [d20=10]

[Anastasia]

Whatever it is, Surraruthru is sure it isn't a normal yugoloth. It could be a unique fiend or something that isn't a yugoloth at all. It could also be an illusion of some sort or a projection, little more than light and magic.

[Iron Dragoon]

"It's not a yugoloth... At least not a normal one. A fiend or something... Maybe an illusion."

[Ebiris]

Well this certainly isn't an auspicious start. She can only hope the others are having better luck on their missions.

Still, it's nothing a quick meteor swarm wouldn't fix. The only problem being that such flashy magic would serve as a beacon for miles around, drawing in anyone too stupid or too powerful to be dissuaded by ninth circle magic being thrown around. Not to mention anyone in the city looking out over these blasted slopes. Luckily her water side serves for subtlety where her fiery side does not. "This won't go as you hoped it would," she chides the yugoloth in a whisper, hasting her allies and violently sucking vital moisture out of the yugoloths' bodies before she darts behind some jagged spikes for cover. Besides she may as well use this ability while she can, since it won't do much against the creaking undead to come.

Surraruthru and Afina's voice are too loud here, echoing amid the slopes as she draws on her innate magic. The canoloths and figure before her shudder as they are dried out suddenly, water flowing from them from dozens of points over their bodies.

> roll 1d20+8 canoloth 1
> roll 1d20+8 canoloth 2
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+8 canoloth 1 --> [ 1d20=17 ]{25}

> roll 1d20+11 mask and eyes
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d20+11 cloak and eyes --> [ 1d20=1 ]{12}

The blast of magic is too much for your foes. The canoloths wither like old sponges until nothing is left, utterly annihilated save for their armor, which crashes down with ear-aching force on the slopes below and tumbles down. The figure of eyes and cloaks recoils, a vaguely humanoid body seen as it is drained of water.

Initiative order is  Afina (34) > Sylvie (33) > Eyes and Cloak (27) > Tryll (26) > Master (16) > Calleigh (15) > Surraruthru = Tannin (13) > Psicrystal (9)

Sylvie's up, she'll take her held turn.

"Got you," Sylvie says softly, virtually a shout as she pounces on him as fast as she can.

> roll 3d10+28
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 3d10+28 --> [ 3d10=15 ]{43}

She's over there in a minute, snapping off a kick that catches the figure right where his face should be. As he reels, Sylvie darts up and above him, hands going out. The snap of the creature's neck breaking is like an explosion of noise, the entire entity vanishing, save for his cloak. It falls to the ground, tumbling with the armor.

> roll 1d100+30 vs ??? (+30 ???)
<Rei-chan> Kotono rolled : 1d100+30 vs ??? (+30 ???) --> [ 1d100=46 ]{76}

But despite the noise, nothing else happens. Have you won?

Free act.

Wasteful. Casting message to link them up for subvocal speech, Afina passes on her next words silently.  "Lets move, that will have drawn notice," she mouths, heading off perpendicular to their intended destination of Hopelorn, so that they won't end up running headfirst into anyone investigating from the direction of the city. Not that they'll make it easy for them, moving with stealth and silence as they go.

"Right," Tannin murmurs silently, the spell stopping sound. "Quiet as a baby's breathing now, eh?"

"Quieter," Sylvie mutters, "Babies are much too loud."

"Like a leaf on the wind?" The Master suggests, "The sound of one hand clapping?"

Move Silently checks again, y'all. Since the other two aren't around right now, would you roll the other PCs,  Afina? Thanks.

The party silently flies off in the direction Afina wishes. They go a few minutes away, silence again reigning, until they seem them ahead. 60ft ahead and closing in the darkness, standing out as fading, semi-visible humanoid figures. They are wrapped in cloudy gray with hints of green, eyes shining with the same green light. There are three of them in total, coming towards the party.

K:R checks here, y'all.

Tryll can identify them as dread wraiths. Bigger, stronger and more Constitution drain than normal wraiths. They also look stronger than usual, bolstered by something.

"Dread wraiths," The Master murmurs, slipping into a defensive stance flawlessly, "Evolved and bolstered in the powers of this realm."

"The dead are coming to greet us," Sylvie says, smiling grimly, "Let's show them how Aurora deals with them."

Afina opens. Go steam pixie, go.

[Ebiris]

Unfortunately Afina has nothing guaranteed to work against the incorporeal - she even gave up magic missile when she became a creature of fire. At least everyone is still hasted for a little longer so she doesn't have to worry about that, so instead she flashes out to quickly carve through one of the wraiths before retreating back where she was, employing Afame to improve her dodging even as she strikes out with Hywelbane II.
