Where hope dies (Afina, Surarruthru, Calleigh)

But Surraruthru's will is supreme. He feels the curse settling into his bones, and with sheer will, forces it off. Howling dark magic surrounds him briefly before fading, before a group of howling fire wraiths charge the two. Nearly a dozen of them, exploding into fireballs when close.

Suffice to say, this is not a concern for Afina.

Surraruthru comes through it burned but intact, avoiding the worst of it and being slowly baked instead of flash fried. Then a burst of green light erupts from below, engulfing the two in it.

Fortitude save, SR doesn't apply to this. Negative energy immunity negates this, note if you do instead of making the save.

The energy washes over them, spreading all about. It makes them shiver but nothing else, as the wall behind them cracks under it. Meanwhile more bursts of green light fly everywhere...

More bursts - but all the party endures, save for Calleigh and Tryll, who are lucky enough not to be under one. A few Necrolytes are hit and wither away, as do skeletons. It claims them as readily as anything else, seeming to steal what animates them and quickly reduce them to nothingness.

Meanwhile, fire and black lightning erupt around the invisible Tannin, trying to fry him double-quick.

But he's too fast, even as suddenly the water is ripped from his body.

Nonlethal thanks to regeneration.

He grunts in pain, "You fucking..." he manages to spit out, as suddenly a barrage of greasy darkness blasts engulf Sylvie.

Several of the Necrolytes begin to chant, as the surviving undead cover them as bodyguards. As you see this, suddenly the ash and magma covering the force sphere rises up. It shifts before you, becoming a truly gargantuan blade of fire. The fires turn black as they burn anew, the feminine fiend on the throne standing on the hilt. She smirks, "Welcome Aurora! I'm so honored to be the one to exterminate you!" She rides the blade of fire as it goes right at Cresiel. It flies through the air, the devil leaping off as it starts to hurl right at him.

She leaps off the blade as it flies, floating above where the sphere was. It's gone now, the throne sitting undamaged. She looks unconcerned as Cresiel's torso and chest are nearly bisected, the wound instantly cauterized.

As all of this happens, a wave of utterly overwhelming darkness slams into Calleigh and Tryll.

Fort you two.

The blast leaves them reeling and dazed, bodies aching and your energy simply gone. Deep fatigue settles into the both of you, your eyes barely able to stay open.

Both of you are exhausted. Note if you're immune or have protections against it.

The survivors seem to mostly be gathering - Necrolytes into little clusters, chanting away. The undead guard them. Meanwhile the ground shakes terribly, green light coming up all over. The entire building is groaning, as perverse experiment after experiment gushes blue arcane fire all over.

Initiative order is Afina (41) > Sylvie (35) > Surraruthru (32) > Tannin (29) > Master (24) > Devils and Undead (23) > Calleigh (22) > Cresiel (20) > Psicrystal (13) > Tryll (7)

Go Calleigh.

[Yuthirin]

How many charges were used on that Silence wand?

[Anastasia]

I'm guessing you didn't track it, despite me routinely listing off charges as you used them, right?

[Nephrite]

Reading back it would appear there are 25 left.

[Anastasia]

Thanks Neph. 25 left then.

[Yuthirin]

Thanks

Calleigh drops an area of silence over the chanting necrolytes!

[Anastasia]

Silence takes a group of them, chants ceasing as they turn their attention to the courre who dared. More clusters yet continue to chant, even as one is silenced.

Meanwhile, Cresiel reels from the attack and clutches his chest. His wounds immediately heal, body knitting itself into wholeness.

Psicrystal and Tryll are up. Go.
