Yggdrasil (Afina, Moore, Jaela)

[Corwin]

There was more than one way to reach this point, Jaela recalls the guardian telling them. Then there may be more than one path past this obstacle as well.

Shaking her head, she declines to engage her goddess. Instead, Jaela steps in front of Ilsenine, swapping Gae Bolg for the merciful Gae Trocaire while holy power drawn from their attacker washes over them. Should there be a direct attack, she would draw it to her. Should there be a spell cast, she will attempt to sunder it. And for so long as she can move, she will keep on healing her friends and allies.

[17:35] <@Annerose> roll 13d6 turning
[17:35] <Serith> Annerose roll for Serith < 39 > [d6=3,5,4,2,4,3,3,3,1,3,2,3,3]

Using Goad in what is likely a symbolic way. Will DC 35 if it can actually work.

Intending to use Divine Defiance or Shield Ally is they apply. Shield Ally and Goad are Ex.

56 nonlethal to me, fast healing 3.

[Anastasia]

Healing spreads through the party, soothing the fatigue and injury that passed through all of you.

Ilsenine stands her ground, before intoning two words of Sylvan, "Time stop."

> roll 1d4+1 Ilsenine time stop
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 4 > [d4=3]

4 rounds.

Since she's an ally, even though you can't see it, I'll provide a quick OOC summary of her time stop actions.

Round 1: Foresight on herself.
Round 2: Moment of Prescience on herself.
Round 3: Spell Turning on herself.
Round 4: Move 240ft to the east, avoiding everyone else and hopefully getting out of the range of more spells.

She just doesn't have a lot she can directly do against Moonbow, so may as well make her work a little harder to get all of you.

Queen Ilsenine is well away from the immediate combat a moment later, as Sehanine Moonbow's gaze turns to Jaela. There is a moment and Jaela swears she sees the slightest nod, before another wave of power and...

She's casting, Jaela. You can attempt to Spellcraft and try to counter if you please.

Taking 10 for spellcraft 46.

As she sees the forming magic, Jaela tries tearing it apart with her mind!

Chain Dispel.

[18:51] <@Annerose> roll 1d100
[18:51] <Serith> Annerose roll for Serith < 45 > [d100=45]

As her own magic crumbles, she winces and refocuses on the goddess. "It's a summons!" she calls out to the others. Mithral golem. Intelligent. The basic spell follows the same idea, so a dispel should send it back!"

[Anastasia]

The creature that appears before you is tall. Big. Broad. A golem made of shining silver mithral, cracking its knuckles and with a well made, expressive face. It looms over Jaela by several Hannas. "I've been called to test you, eh?" he says, cracking a broad smile. He then hurls himself right at Jaela, fist first.

As this happens, the moon above glows brighter, moonlight gathering around Sehanine Moonbow like armor.

Y'all can Spellcraft that second spell as well, though I don't believe any of you are in a position to counter.

Init is Sehanine Moonbow (Supreme Initiative) > Mithral Golem > Afina (49) > Moore = Crystal (40) > Jaela (30) > Ilsenine (28)

> roll 1d20+52 (+2 charge)
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 68 > [d20=16]

AC, Jaela? I don't see your spoiler block handy.

[Corwin]

AC 63, miss chance 20%. 56 nonlethal damage.

Taking 10 on spellcraft for 46 all the same.

[Anastasia]

Another custom spell. It weaves the moonlight with strands of moonfire, forming it into ethereal armor that offers sublime protection and also nullifies electricity damage and repels lycanthropes.

> roll 1d100 vs 20 miss chance
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 57 > [d100=57]

No joy on that, so hit.

> roll 4d10+31 and Fortitude save
<Serith> Kobrb roll for Serith < 49 > [d10=1,8,4,5]

What's your DR if any, Jaela? Also make a Fortitude save. It's stunning, note if you're protected or immune.

[Corwin]

[19:14] <@Annerose> roll 1d20+48
[19:14] <Serith> Annerose roll for Serith < 54 > [d20=6]

DR 20/Epic and Evil and Cold Iron.

HP: (56) 309/338

[Anastasia]

The blow hits you hard enough to leave you seeing stars, but you shake it off. A blow right to the face, a perfectly choreographed punch. You also spit out a tooth, the taste of blood strong in your mouth. Somehow, in defiance of size and nature, you weren't broken into pieces by the blow. Only bruised, able to withstand the huge golem.

Afina, go.

[Ebiris]

Jaela might be unwilling to strike at her deity but Afina has no such qualms. Although she'll be sure to apologise to her friend if she actually manages to hurt Sehanine. She does briefly consider gating in Smrgol when she sees the other golem being summoned, but figures Jaela can probably handle that for something to do. Her focus remains on crossing the distance to reach the elf goddess and then seeing what harm she can do. Once again channelling an overpowered haste spell into her for the speed boost, she flies straight back into the fray, only needing to cast but one spell in readiness since Moore's music more than makes up for other enhancements she might otherwise have to spend time on.

7th level slot used up for 2 rounds of time stop.
Round 1 taking a run action.
Round 2 casting true strike and a move action to get even closer.

And in but the blink of an eye Afina is back where she started, flying over to stab out at Sehanine with Afame, every bit of magic she can spare poured into making her strikes count! A pair of quick stabs and then she continues a further sixty feet past Sehanine, buying distance for her next attack.

Pure speed on pure speed. Sehanine seems to know where you're going to strike before you do it, only your speed giving you a chance. You strike true...but fail to penetrate the moonlight around her. Your weapon dissolves into moonlight, only to reform once it's clear. A second time produces the second result, your attack stopped cold.

Much like Jaela, Afina swears she sees the slightest nod from Moonbow after that. A glimmer of sensation passes through the hearts of each of you. Hope, expectations, results. Afina remembers helping Ilsenine away as Gathgorian loomed large over her, his blade slicing a tornado through the heated air of Avernus. Jaela finds a memory of crossing blades with Abigor, the pain in her body as she endured and fought on against an impossible opponent. Moore recalls...something. Someone made it. Someone made it home. A blur of light.

Moore's up. Go Moore.

[Nephrite]

"Greatness comes when you're tested... so we will show you greatness, as fate itself decrees our victory!" Moore shouts admist the moonlight.

He's using his move action to cast Inspire Greatness on Jaela, Afina, Crystal, Hope and himself. He can't hit Illsenine because she went so far away. Greatness from him is a competence bonus of +8d10 temp hp, +8 Attack rolls, +4 fort.

He's also trying Melody of Misfortune which is a (Su) -5 reduction on attack, saves and ability checks with no Will save attached. It probably won't actually work but he's willing to give it a shot.

Inspire Courage is at 4 rounds now.

Two questions. What's the bonus type of inspire greatness? Secondly, who does melody of misfortune target?

[Nephrite]

Two questions. What's the bonus type of inspire greatness? Secondly, who does melody of misfortune target?

1. Competence
2. The ability technically targets any ability in line of sight of the Fateseeker, but they're allowed a DC 31 Will Save to bring it to -1 instead of -5. In the case of the Melody of Misfortune, the "main" target (in this case Moonbow) doesn't get to resist anything, just for the sake of clarity on the ability.

[Anastasia]

> roll 8d10
<Serith> Kotono roll for Serith < 35 > [d10=7,4,3,2,2,4,9,4]

More power flows through the party, bolstering them. The golem and Moonbow don't look visibly affected, however, as...
