Jaela mimics wringing out the merman's neck, and as if through synesthesia all her enemies in this underwater chamber choke as water is squeezed out of their bodies! Before they've had the chance to process this, they are swept up in a wave of frost to finish the job!

Quickened Horrid Wilting, standard Cone of Cold.

Will attempt to counterspell as immediate if it comes up.

[Anastasia]

How precisely are you aiming these, Jaela?

Water and cold rack the devils. The barbazu wither into nothigness, crumbling into black sand and then even that dissolves. The erinyes barely have time to scream as the same happens to them, only the merman enduring. He shrivels in part and is blasted, wobbling like a top. "It seems I have a Crimson problem," he spits to the side, before making a sharp cutting gesture and vanishing.

Going to counterspell?

[Corwin]

"Not so fast!" Jaela cries out, trying to keep him present.

07:34 <Tohsaka> roll 1d20+30
07:34 <Serith> Tohsaka roll for Serith < 32 > [d20=2]

[Anastasia]

With a surge of spell power, Jaela shatters the magic of the merman. He stumbles back, hand catching aflame as blue spellfire fizzles out around him.

Initiative is Jaela = Merman (31) > Mirima (21) > Ellese (17) > ???(10)

Mirima's grinning now, leaping down from the stairs and right at the merman, before he can even utter another word. Woven Gold flashes out, a swipe faster than the eye as...

She's taking the 4d6 falling damage uncontested

> roll 4d6 Mirima
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 14 > [d6=3,6,4,1]

> roll 1d20+52 +5 arcane strike, burning a 5th level spell

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 73 > [d10=7][d6=2,6,5,4][d4=2,2,4,3,2]
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 67 > [d10=6][d6=2,4,1,3][d4=2,4,3,4,2]

For a moment the merman stays still, then cuts blossom all over his body. Cuts that erupt with arcane fire, the merman thrashing. For a moment he becomes red and scaly, growing in size, before he explodes in a rain of razor sharp obsidian.

> roll 1d20+35 evasion
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 47 > [d20=12]

Mirima jukes to the side and parries the rest of it, safe and untouched. But around her the pentagram continues to burn. In fact, you see the blood of the merman splash on it, which makes it burn even more.

Free act for the moment.

Y'all dominated this one, but it was only a CR 20. Barely a speedbump to a prepared party of your caliber.

Taking Ellese's hand, Jaela shifts them down to the ground before taking a closer look at the pentagram.

Dimensional Door, spellcrafting/taking 10 for 45.

[Anastasia]

The pentagram is no great feat by itself. It simply collects diabolical energies and transmutes it to fire. Powerful but not overwhelming - but the blood of a greater devil has splashed on it. It's suprecharged and about to explode. As in now, as the three are suddenly immersed in a great burst of fire.

> roll 1d20+14 spell resistance
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 22 > [d20=8]

Since I don't see your block handy, do you have SR, Jaela? If so, I assume that doesn't beat it.

[Corwin]

<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 45 > [d6=2,1,3,2,6,2,1,6,6,5,2,1,1,3,4]

Jaela simply isn't touched by the magic, which fails to harm her at all. Mirima leaps up like a cat, landing on the stairs and away from the inferno. Ellese? She just stands there, charred a bit and healing already. Her expression doesn't even change, and after a moment she says, "Hell's done far worse to me than some burns."

"Sorry, got a bit overconfident there," Jaela apologizes, resting her hand on Ellese's shoulder to channel enough healing to restore her to perfect health. "Figured we didn't have time to wait before stopping it, but thought we had a chance at it."

She spends a moment to consider just what sort of spell the devil had going, and whether it went off as planned or got disrupted explosively.

"What now? Look for his stuff, tell the locals to do something with the place and go back to Balmuria?"

Lay on Hands to heal Ellese, afterwards to heal Mirima as well.

[Anastasia]

"No need," Ellese says, burns already healing before your eyes. "I've suffered and healed from far worse."

"I'm fine," Mirima says, "The fall didn't even hurt."

Mirima had temp HP and Ellese regenerates, soooooo.

"Anyway," Mirima tosses her wet hair and grimaces, a simple spell drying it. She tosses her now dry hair and says, "Easily so. We should do something about this pentagram." You can see the fires have died down, at least.

Studying the pentagram, you can see it's some sort of life-absorbing spell work, as expected. Decent if not exceptional arcanery, very ordered and precise which suggests Hellish construction.

[Corwin]

Jaela tries a generic dispel to see if it would be enough to disrupt the pattern.

[20:51] <@Siri> roll 1d20+25
[20:51] <Serith> Siri roll for Serith < 32 > [d20=7]

[Anastasia]

On Jaela's touch, the pentagram grows dark and cracks, the precious stones becoming naught but lead.

"Well then," Mirima says, "I'm going to go claim some trophies back upstairs. There's also all the equipment the devils dropped, going to take it?"
