Canderella soon comes back, helped over by Ithea herself. She's bedraggled and beaten, woozy on her feet. "Storm's done," Canderella says cheerfully.

[Corwin]

"Good job! Balyss will hook you up if you need a magical pick me up. For now, move closer to Tryll and Kascha." Spending time near the center of their formation should give Canderella time to recover, and Tepen is already watching their flanks.

"Let's get going again!"

[Anastasia]

Waiting on Ithea to do her thing and we'll move along, sure.

On the party goes, to about four and a half miles. The chaos has been strangely quiet right now, little need to subdue it. Ahead Ithea's strike group has paused, the reason why visible from here. A great mass of obsidian buildings blocks the way completely, in all directions and farther than anyone can see. As if they were all fused together, endless ones end over end.

As all get a chance to look at it, Ithea does something with her anarch powers. The area ahead splits open - and an army of undead pours out, meeting Ithea's group. At the same time, the chaos in the air starts to twist. You can feel fire burning you, earth crushing you, gale wind knocking you back and water drowning you. All at once the unstable nature of this place acts up, threatening to overwhelm all of you.

Act, y'all.

Has it been an hour?

[Anastasia]

It's been about 30 minutes now.

[Yuthirin]

Jesus Christ four and a half miles in thirty minutes?

[Anastasia]

Hostile terrain that has to be taken slowly with Ithea's anarch powers, not to mention an army moves far slower than a single person? Yes. It's not like you're taking a casual walk, you're going through a cursed chaos-scape.

That being said, average speed is -much- higher since you fly in the Astral and are going much faster than base human speed of 30ft. It basically averages out to a weird amount of movement. Don't worry about it too much.

[Yuthirin]

I'm holding since I can't anchor or reliably manifest, and Ithea's group probably isn't within range of me anyhow.

[Iron Dragoon]

Holding too.

[Corwin]

"The army will advance!" Jaela orders, gesturing ahead at the impending clash between Ithea's forces and the horde of undead. "Tepen, Vul'lath, Simmer, Canderella! Break up their ranks with long-range spels! Cresiel, Balyss, Tryll, Kascha, settle the chaos with dimensional anchors!"

As we're three rounds away, they will be spent with long-ranged bombardment by half the army while the other half focuses on stabilizing the local conditions and taming the chaos. The entire army will be moving closer, and once we're close new orders will go out.

[Anastasia]

Okay, so noted. Another post coming shortly.

[Anastasia]

Jaela's forces advance, starting to stabilize the area around them. It helps some, calming it down and staving off immediate disaster. Spells begin to be channeled, cast and throw into the fray, supporting Ithea's forces.

At the same time...

Make a Spot check, Jaela.

[Anastasia]

Jaela can notice a strange ripple in the chaos to her side. It's as if the space there is trying to twist oddly.
