Where hope dies (Afina, Surarruthru, Calleigh)

[Yuthirin]

is that a success or a failure? O_o

[Nephrite]

My guess is if you're rolling spell failure you need 51-100.

[Anastasia]

It's a failure, Yuth. 1-50 is failure and 51+ is success.

[Iron Dragoon]

Yuth, I'm so, so sorry.

Pain. Reality is gone, dissolved into unthinking blue. Clashing red and burning jelly. What you see is different from what the next one sees. The heart lies in a roaring bonfire that burns green. Your face is mutable and changing. Porcupines present the answer you don't want to hear. Crumbling water falls apart like cookies. Cookies, cookies, cookies. The kingdom of nine forges the tenth arch. It is a submission that ended yesterday. You know now you can sing until you drop and die. It did not matter, because you are the dead bird.

125 damage to all. Everyone but Tryll, Calleigh and Psycrystal halve this.

The clocks are broken. At last the horrible clocks are broken and you sob with relief as you stand amid the silvery mists that don't stop and can't stop and won't stop and your minds move a mile a minute as reality is too real like a night terror that refuses to end like a civilized guest so that you can only scream and scream and scream until it won't stop because it can't stop because it doesn't stop because we must love you.

Everyone made the secondary save and is safe from that.

9 and 8 and 9 and 8 and 9 and 8 and 9 and 8. But 17 can't agree on anything and it hurts and you can't stop hurting and won't stop hurting they won't stop because they can't stop because to stop means they start again and starting is worse than stopping because it's like rising from quickstand instead of sinking into it and that's the worst thing of all because then you can't lie anymore and you keep lying anyway until it's all done but it's never done not really done because that's just the way it has to be, doesn't it?

---

Afina awakens with a start.

Tryll awakens with a start.

Surraruthru awakens with a start.

The party floats on a hunk of black stone. The sky is burning water and duststorms, an ocean surrounding it. The air is cool and calm despite it, a strange sense of timelessness immediately evident. Your heads throb relentlessly and without mercy. But even through the pain, you know this feeling - the sensation of the Astral and its naturally timeless nature.

As you look around, you see Sylvie sitting down, groaning and rubbing her head. Tannin's on one knee, while the Master is standing with Cresiel's help. Calleigh's next to Tryll and the psycrystal's resting against her.

Calleigh floats upside down, eyes crossed. "I think we should go take a nap. For a week. I want some juice."

[Anastasia]

"Do you need help, little one?" Cresiel asks softly, "My own head aches as if Moradin used it as his forge."

[Yuthirin]

"'mokayee...just gonna float for a while. I think I hurt my everything."

[Anastasia]

"Damn right," Tannin says, "Reality got awfully strange for a little while there, and now it looks like Limbo and feels like the Silver Sea."

After half a minute of silence, Calleigh's wounds abruptly start to heal themselves.

Fast Healing 10 for Calleigh & Tryll

[Anastasia]

Good news: The spell failure has worn off, so only the first is needed.

The bad news: Any spells with a duration of less than an hour have expired.

The ugly: I need to look up if fast healing works on the Astral. I believe I've ran it as not, but I need to check and it's a bit too late for that. I shall in the morning, along with updating the spoiler block.

[Yuthirin]

Rude

[Ebiris]

Afina's planar bubble is still in effect so if Tryll & co are within 10 feet of her they can benefit from fast healing and get all the fiery hotness instead of the astral blandness.

Sitting up, Afina looks around and confirms everyone is accounted for. Good, considering the chaotic mess that was she'd worried they'd be scattered all across the planes like when Lifasa fell. "Everyone okay?" she confirms, doing her best to ignore the pounding in her head - that'll sort itself out soon enough. "Good job everyone, that probably wiped out Lixer's entire base but even if not we struck a grievous blow for no losses of our own. Take pride in that," she does her bit to praise everyone for a job well done as she flutters her wings and takes to the air.

Procuring her scroll of gate she reads off it, forming a portal leading to the positive energy plane directly ahead of where Aurora's gate should be unless it's moved. "That'll take us to Aurora. Close your eyes if you're not protected from planar effects, just go through and wait a moment to heal then go straight ahead until you feel gravity then you can open them again," she recommends. "Cresiel, I'd appreciate it if you came with us. That place on the deep ethereal you found sounds like another of Lixer's bases we want to hit, so your knowledge could prove invaluable."

Waiting for everyone else to go on ahead she also takes a second to dispel her planar bubble so as to not start burning people once back at Aurora. She'll recast moment of prescience as well since it's the sort of spell one should never be without, even considering her low availability of spells right now.
