The past burns (Afina, Tryll)

[Yuthirin]

'Let us leave now, then.'

[Anastasia]

Didn't you put her on a floating disc?

[Ebiris]

Yeah but they don't actually fly, they just hover over the ground at my speed. Once we're on the roof it's fine but I need someone to get her up there first.

[Anastasia]

Master's Strength score is 18, which isn't sufficient to move her by himself. Can anyone else contribute?

[Ebiris]

"In fact never mind, this is quicker," Afina promptly summons some air elementals!

[23:49] <@Ebiris> roll 2d4 large air elementals via Elemental Swarm
[23:49] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2d4 large air elementals --> [ 2d4=7 ]{7}

Only 14 strength but being large lets you carry more and there's 7 of them!

"Pick up that trash and follow us," she instructs the elementals, flying back up through the hole she made earlier and hasting the elementals to boot! Then it's a straight shoot over the tornado wracked roof to get clear of the unhallow so they can gate out!

'Lief's saved and we're leaving the dimensional blocking now. Where is Aurora?' she telepathically asks Tepen.

'Elysium,' Tepen replies as all of you fly out. The castle groans beneath you and begins to fall - and about 40ft away and 50ft down, Gathgorian bursts through the ceiling, stone and wind flying from his sword slash. 'We can direct you once there with teleports for retrieval.'

[Yuthirin]

A thick mist envelops Gathgorian!

Ectoplasmic Shambler from the psicrystal.

[Ebiris]

Of course, how foolish of her to think in two dimensional terms. "Go, hurry!" she urges, setting off in the opposite direction from the one Gathgorian burst free from!

Hopefully we can all take run actions, the elementals combined light load is 812lbs which lets them move at 130, otherwise they'll be slowed to 100. Afina is at 120. We'll move at the pace of whoever's slowest.

[Anastasia]

Init here, lemme see how you all line up for speed and I'll start resolving this.

[Ebiris]

[23:57] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+30 Afina init
[23:57] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+30 Afina init --> [ 1d20=11 ]{41}
[23:58] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+11 elemental group init
[23:58] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+11 elemental group init --> [ 1d20=6 ]{17}

[Yuthirin]

Tryll & Calleigh are fleeing at 60 ft/round. Gathgorian needs to contend with the fact that he can't immediately see which direction we've fled in. It's not something he can use True Seeing to see through. It's not an illusory effect.

<Kobot> DarthSquiddius rolled 1d20+6 Tryll --> [ 1d20=19 ]{25}
<Kobot> DarthSquiddius rolled 1d20+7 Calleigh --> [ 1d20=1 ]{8}

[Anastasia]

> roll 1d20+9 Master
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+9 Master --> [ 1d20=2 ]{11}
> roll 1d20+25 Gathgorian
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+25 Gathgorian --> [ 1d20=6 ]{31}

Init is Afina (41) > Gathgorian (31) > Tryll (25) > Elementals (17) > Master (11) > Calleigh (8)

Open Afina.

[Ebiris]

'I need something more definitive Tepen,' Afina replies, some strain showing in her telepathic voice as she slows her retreat somewhat both to stall Gathgorian and because she knows she's better able to handle his attacks and so can buy time for the others that way. 'We have a regenerating prisoner and Gathgorian right behind us.'

Flying ahead and gaining altitude so she doesn't veer too close to any friendlies while still channelling fire, she gestures back at the cornugon as another magmaberg coalesces into the befouled air above his head, plummeting straight down to drive him into the roof and bury him!

However since the safe zone of the tornado force winds only extends in an 80 foot radius around her she only moves 60 feet ahead so as to keep everyone within the eye of the storm. This does not include Gathgorian.

Using Afame as swift for +4 AC
[00:04] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+28 SR
[00:04] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 1d20+28 SR --> [ 1d20=11 ]{39}
120 damage and buried under magma, no save

Also if he's not buried he gets a DC 30 fort save or else is affected by tornado force winds

No good. The spell fails to harm him, yet you at least bury him briefly in magma, hopefully slowing him down.

Then, a moment later, the lava becomes volcanic glass, before it shatters around the Duke of Hell. He emerges from the falling mass of glass and the castle, both left to plunge in the gorge.

> roll 1d20+48 vs 30
<Kobot> Kotono rolled 1d20+48 vs 30 --> [ 1d20=14 ]{62}

Gathgorian slowly emerges back to where he was, before twin fireballs explode around Afina. The winds howl around him but he moves with a surety and ease that speaks of power or magic, the tornado hardly moving him at all. Moments later, twin fireballs explode around you.

Auto passes SR. Two Ref saves with a -3 penalty.

[00:18] <@Ebiris> roll 2#1d20+38 evasion
[00:18] <Kobot> Ebiris rolled 2#1d20+38 evasion --> [ 1d20=17 ]{55}, [ 1d20=13 ]{51}
