Void strike (Jaela)

Corwin · February 04, 2016, 05:04:01 PM

Okay, the spells I want to have available are: a few Knock spells, a Find the Path, Attune Form precast on all those who need it, and enough in reserve to recast it if dispelled, Avoid Planar Effects for an emergency, a few Life's Grace or similar but longer-duration spells that immune drain or negative energy. Then, Telepathic Bond on us, and Interplanar Telepathic Bond on Mirajane, a representative with each departing group if they agree with the suggestion, and someone on Aurora (Tepen works).

I've got Mass Death Ward covered for when we'll need it, and Planar Bubble for emergencies.

Can I also get a list of known Vacuum planar traits to see if I missed something?

Anastasia · February 04, 2016, 08:11:13 PM

Hanna's the only prepared caster and she can manage attune forms, avoid planar effects and life graces. The rest you'll need to rely on scrolls or precasts for.

Who do you want each group to be hooked up to Mirajane?

Finally, Canderella gave you a fairly good run down of Vacuum's traits. If you want the raw, mechanical version, I'll post that in a little while for the compendium thread.

Hanna casts attune form twice to bestow it on everyone (even Adrian, just in case). That's done. CL for her spells is 22. Tepen does the same, casting telepathic bond on the party and interplanar telepathic bond, CL 22. Tepen will note he doesn't expect it to work, especially if the devils learn from Castle Crumbling and/or have beefed up defenses.

I think we're good here, so I assume you'll go post expenses for scrolls in loot. In the meantime, expect my big opening post plus stat block soon.

The Positive Energy Plane swirls around the party as they step out, only to be replaced with a swirling portal of gray and black. "This is it, aiming in there." She declares, before going through. The party follows one after one, through the rift in reality and into...emptiness. Nothing. No light, no dark. There is nothing to cling to and nothing to see. It is simply an absence of any and everything, stretching in every direction as far as you can see. Silent winds rip at every inch of your body, constantly battering you and yet held back by your protective magics.

"Welcome to Vacuum," Canderella announces, voice watery and distorted.

Moonlight shivers intensely and rubs her shoulders, huddling in on herself. "How miserable a place. Where's the sunshine and good times?"

Mei just looks around impassively, bowing her head in silent prayer. She clutches her wooden holy symbol of the Triune.

"Alright, enough gaping. We've dealt with worse. The sooner we reach Lixer's playpen, the sooner we get this done and go back to somewhere less miserable."

"I think can't get over the part that someone's living here," Jaela admits, doing her best to drive off the cold darkness with her own glow. "Alright, first thing's first. Let's try the spell and see if we get a direction. If that fails, Mirajane picks a direction for us and we head that way."

You forgot to have Hanna memorize Find the Path, which could go instead of one of her three extended Righteous Mights. I want to try it, and there were no objections during planning so might as well.

For bookkeeping, let's say Mirajane, Tepen, Rosa and Sylvie are under an interplanar telepathic bond.

Anastasia · February 05, 2016, 12:18:59 PM

That's fine, just note it in her spoiler block since you're managing that for her.

Hanna floats in the void and casts, before shaking her head. "Nothing," she reports.

Vacuum traits, as requested: [spoiler]

- Subjective Directional Gravity: As the Elemental Plane of Air.

- Normal Time.

- Infinite Size.

- Alterable Morphic.

- Void-Dominant: Creatures within Vacuum take 10d6 points of cold damage per round. In addition, they must make a Fortitude save (DC 20) each round or be ravaged by the vacuum, suffering 20d6 points of damage. Regardless if the save is passed or failed, the save DC rises by 1 for each round a creature stays in Vacuum. Additionally, there is no air in Vacuum, so creatures that survive this are still subject to suffocation. Undead are immune to these planar traits. Avoid planar effects or similar magic protects against this trait.

- Magic Degeneration: Magic that protects creatures against the effects of Vacuum last a far shorter amount of time than usual. This varies and is unpredictable (DM discretion), but the durations are at least halved. Such spells can also partially fail or act in unpredictable ways in Vacuum.

- Item Degeneration: Items wear out quickly in Vacuum. Unprotected items take 1d10 points of damage per round, this ignores hardness. Items on a creature protected from void's traits are not affected.

"As expected," Jaela muses. "Pick a direction you like," she then tells Mirajane.

Is it possible to have everyone that doesn't have Cold Res 20 under a precast Resist Energy/Cold?

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · February 05, 2016, 12:42:17 PM

If you want them to be, sure. If you want this precast from Aurora, say so now. The startup was a bit disjointed so I'll give you some leeway there. Past this next post, that option will be closed to y'all and someone will have to cast it themselves.

"So wait," Mirima stops, "Do we actually know where this fortress is or have some clue at all?"

"Of course we do. The portal was aimed in the vicinity of it, but," The succubus gestures all about, a wide, sweeping gesture, "Up is down here. Direction matters little. Without magic to point us more precisely, we'll need to search the hard way."

"That," Adrian says, "We've done it before and we'll do it today, too."

"Still..." Mirajane murmurs, closing her eyes. "So many futures that lead to nothing but oblivion. It's all this place can comprehend." Nonetheless, the seer starts to drift in one direction, a bit downwards and to Jaela's left.

Corwin · February 05, 2016, 12:50:46 PM

Yes, rather be safe than sorry. I wasn't sure from the desc if cold was a mechanical or flavor thing. We'll all get Cold Res 20 at CL22 from Aurora before going.

"They can obscure the place from sixth circle divination magic and we can't rely on our senses much in this place," Jaela voices her own opinion, before asking Mirajane and Hanna, "Unless True Seeing is giving you more?"

Does having my light give me more of a range to see around us? Also, blindsight spots nothing?

Spoiler: Show

Anastasia · February 05, 2016, 01:04:30 PM

"It's just empty," Hanna remarks, "Nothing everywhere and that's the truth of it. I can think of a certain bitch who would love it here." She readies her axe in the meantime, following Mirajane.

Jaela can get the same thing from her blindsight. It's just empty, so achingly empty. There's nothing here but all of you.

"Better bring up the rear," Jaela tells Hanna, sticking close to Mirajane with Gae Dearg drawn. "True Seeing would be our best defense if we get attacked."

Anastasia · February 05, 2016, 01:17:35 PM

Mirajane has Sharp Sunshine at the ready. "I think so, too," Mirajane whispers to Jaela. "I feel the main question is if Lixer felt threatened enough to go to absurd levels of warding. I don't know if Lixer himself can stop true seeing, but I think his father could."

Mei floats along near the back, eyes open and sweeping about. Moonlight settles in next to her, "So I heard you have a vow of silence? That's pretty neat, but that has to be tough. What do you do when you need to tell someone something? Or what about when you're talking to someone and nature calls, and you have to get out of the con-oh wait. Well, not talking, but maybe listening to someone? I bet you can hear the Triune really well, like the solars can hear Lathander."
