Yggdrasil (Afina, Moore, Jaela)

> roll 1d20+14
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 28 > [d20=14]

Initiative order is Afina (60) > Eldrey (28)

Go Afina.

[Ebiris]

Unlike the balor, Afina takes this fight with deadly seriousness, hampered only by her unwillingness to kill the elf or harm her companions. So she doesn't blanket the area with fireballs, satisfying as it would be. Still, she speeds herself up immensely in order to cast a pair of helpful spells before she's on Eldrey, hammering him with a punch to the face that has all her formidable speed concentrated into the area of her tiny fist, before she swings off and kicks at his chin before flying back twenty feet, awaiting any riposte he might have.

7th level slot sacced for time stop, casting Ferocity of Sanguine Rage and Fires of Purity. +12 morale to damage and +23 fire to damage respectively (latter ignores resistance, 50% vs immune).

Using burning touch on my unarmed strikes as well (it's the first 1d6), he has to make a DC 37 reflex save or catch fire. If he catches fire he has to make another save on his turn or take 1d6 burning damage from it.

He's on fire.

Your blitz of pure speed catches the elf off guard. You batter him with a direct punch to the face, knocking his head back as his nose breaks and jaw cracks. The kicks sends him down in with a crash of metal, his armor hitting as hard as he does. He gets up a bit wobbly, wound starting to slowly heal. He spits to the side and points his blade at you, before a javelin of force flies right for you.

Afina moves in a blur, in one spot only for the javelin to go through it - and miss her, as it's merely an afterimage. "Wh-" he begins, as...

Go Afina.

[Ebiris]

Banking around the force javelin, Afina blitzes straight at Elrey with her fiery fist leading the way... until it halts a mere inch from his nose, his hair blown back by the movement of air that continues on and forcing him to go cross-eyed to focus on her diminutive but mighty knuckles. "Do you understand, now?" she asks, plainly having him at her mercy after a single exchange.

[Anastasia]

"Outclassed!" Eldrey blurts out, stepping carefully back from Afina's fist. "How? How did you do it?"

His wounds are closing up even now, mending as you watch.

Free act.

[Ebiris]

Pulling back her cocked fist, Afina flutters back to land beside Ilsenine. "How does any warrior prosper? By training yes, and by pitting myself against mighty opponents. By knowing myself and excising that which is weak so that only strength remains. It is a constant process - today I am stronger than I was yesterday, and tomorrow I will be stronger still. Can you say the same?"

[Anastasia]

"Not in this place. Time passes but I do not seem to improve as I search it," Eldrey admits, "I do not understand it."

[Ebiris]

"All the more reason for you to leave," Afina concludes. "This is a sacred place for fey, where we rest between one life and the next. It is not to be conquered by you or any other."

[Anastasia]

Eldrey rubs his chin, jaw fixed by now. His words aren't slurred at least, anyway. "By the twins Veiros and Deiros, you may be right. I seek to conquer here, but I may have stagnated instead. You." He turns to Jaela, "Are you as strong as them as well, or is it only the fairies that have power here?"

[Corwin]

"Yep. I'm pretty ridiculous."

[Anastasia]

You get a long look, "It seems Tempus moves in mysterious ways," Eldrey finally says, "I accept your offer."

[Ebiris]

"Then go," Afina says. "Leave Yggdrasil to the fey and seek your battles elsewhere. If you wish to find us on Aurora, so be it."

[Anastasia]

Eldrey nods and pauses before Moore. "I underestimated you," he says, before turning around and going, wandering back the way you came and out of sight.

Now what, y'all?

[Ebiris]

Pasting for reference:
- A strange, shadowy thing that's hard to look at. Small, short and it appears lost and mournful.
- An elf in heavy plate armor and wearing the holy symbol of Tempus.
- A cowled and robed gith, face just visible enough to tell his race.
- A gelugon, clad in chain armor and carrying a spear.
- An ambling treant, walking about like it's normal for a tree to wander.
- A gorgeous female elf with long red hair, dressed in comfortable clothes.

The githyanki is next in line, but Afina notices how neglected Jaela seems to be and so says, "Why don't you take the lead on the next one?"

And waits to see if she beelines straight for the sexy elf girl.

[Corwin]

Jaela tilts her head in thought, before heading for the gorgeous elf girl. "Hey there," she greets her, focusing on the image.
